Everybody's Gone to the Rapture6
Apr 12, 2022
I wanted to play this game for 4 years as it sounded really interesting, but I didn't want to pay so much for this kind of game (what people call a 'walking sim'). I expected a similar quality to Edith Finch or Firewatch, but was quite disappointed with the outcome. - The walking is VERY slow, even if you hold down R2 to go faster (which is only a bit more faster). This is insanely bad for the kind of game this is. - There is no manual save function, which is incredibly tedious if you need to close the game and do something else, like eat, go out, etc. There is only an autosave function which happens for certain events, meaning you have to keep playing until the game autosaves, which can take a while to get to. If you close the game, then you'll lose all that progress. This is absolutely ridiculous! - the story isn't very engaging and is overall quite boring. I found myself not really caring. Overall, this game was a big disappointment. The world they created was very close to a real life English countryside, however it was a very boring experience.

Horizon Zero Dawn8

Very interesting premise behind its story that gets better as you progress. Filled with collectibles around its world that help expand the lore and your understanding of what happened in the past. The world *can* be beautiful, however I noticed a lot of texture issues in the game, especially when talking to characters. You see backgrounds change in texture A LOT. This is the worst I've seen compared to other PS exclusive titles for the PS4 gen. It is very distracting when this happens every few seconds in these dialogue scenes. Gameplay can be fun, however i don't think it's the best from a PS game. God of War and Ghost of Tsushima felt way more fun to me. That is my biggest dislike with this game. Inventory management is quite annoying. However, once you take down a big machine it can feel quite satisfying.

Visuals: typical of aesthetics of an indie game with a somewhat interesting art syle. Music: the best part of the game (although that's not saying much given there's not much to rave about in general). it has an interesting soundtrack composed Gameplay: horrible... it's just constantly moving around and pressing X to interact with a few things before moving onto the next chapter. very boring and repetitive. Story: it seems like one of those projects where the creators want you to think for yourself, but it's executed horribly. there's no dialogue and you can't really engage with the story much. so i feel that was a big failure with the game. overall do I recommend it? No, no I do not. I did get this for £2 or lower, so not really anything lost. I also got a platinum trophy out of it. But for anyone else, i wouldn't recommend it. spend that money on a snack or something.

Interesting visual novel game that has some disturbing twists. My main criticism is that if you play the PS4 version on a PS5 console, it is prone to crashing. It crashed about 10 times in 50 mins for me. Very frustrating but thankfully there's an autosave feature.

FIFA 195
Nov 22, 2021
This was a decent version for the Switch and it's nice to have FIFA on the go. However, it is by far inferior to the 'real' version on consoles and PC. The game doesn't have some of the stuff that the real version have, like the new shooting features. The worst part of the game is the graphics. Not only are they low quality, there are so many glitches! Usually half the players don't have their faces properly rendered and are just men with heads that have a green and blue chequered design all over their body. That's quite strange and shows the poor effort to make this game.

A very fun game to play with a friend that has some challenge. It may take a few minutes to get your head around certain things later in the game, however overall the game is about 4-6 hours long (less if you can work things out quicker). There are 6 levels and the game has good replay value if you want to play the role your partner did in your first playthrough. I played as the Agent first and then the Hacker in our second playthrough and both roles were fun to play as. I recommend this game if you need something to play with a friend that's a short and enjoyable experience.

A short and charming game with a surprising twist in gameplay about halfway through. The animation is very unique and the game is very vibrant. It does, however, have a generic 'bullies vs lonely kid' plot and the change in gameplay may be considered unwelcome by some. The game is about 8 hours long in terms of story, so I'd recommend this if you want a short, but pretty decent experience.

Super Mario Maker 29

The game is amazing and is a must have on the Switch. Firstly, the story mode is so addictive with each level and I really enjoyed working my way through it to rebuild the castle. You really have a sense of success after completing the castle. Secondly, and most importantly, the community is very nice. Being able to play so many creative levels and provide feedback is awesome. I've played quite a few levels and enjoyed the majority of them, so it's nice to play through the work of talented individuals. Although I'm not creating my own levels, I think the ability to do so and now with additional content is awesome for any mario fan.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales8
Apr 5, 2021
If you liked the previous game, then you'll love this. A lot of what made the first game amazing is thankfully maintained here, with a few new features to make Miles seem different to Peter. The game has amazing visuals (especially on PS5!) and the gameplay is super fun just like the first game. One of the big shortfalls is the length - this is much shorter than the first game. That being said, it still gives a great intro story to Miles as Spider-Man and the next game should be awesome.

Maquette7
Apr 5, 2021
Pros: - Beautiful art style. It's amazing to traverse through this world and the design is just beautiful and vibrant. - Voice acting segments are great. Voiced by real life hollywood couple Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Gabel. Both put in amazing performances that make the narrative between the game's couple feel so real. - Fun puzzle mechanics that a lot of people should be able to understand. I'm not a puzzle game pro and this was something I was able to figure out after some time. - Great soundtrack. Gives an indie sort of folk vibe, and I'm not even a fan of that music and I found the soundtrack in this game nice to listen to. Cons: - Experienced several bugs/glitches, some of which were game-breaking and others that make solving a puzzle impossible unless you restart, For the former, this was quite frustrating as you need to play around with objects to solve puzzles. Play around too much and you may glitch yourself! On eo fthe worst ones was when I glitched myself into a black void and couldn't escape. For bugs/glitches resulting in puzzles being impossible to solve - this is so annoying when you're deep into a level and you're forced to restart. - Those looking for a challenging puzzle game may not like this. If you want something that really makes you think, then this may not be for you as I previously mentioned in the Pros that this is something not too tricky for people, even non-puzzle game fans.

Pokemon Sword8
Mar 8, 2021
First of all, it may not have all Pokemon or a National Dex, but this never bothered me as I have never cared for the National Dex nor most Pokemon. Secondly, the graphcs could be better. There's a significant amount of pop-in and it feels very cheap. This looks like a 3DS game that has been improved in graphics. However, with the Switch being able to play games like the Witcher and still make it beautiful, expect Game Freak to make Pokemon look better as well. I personally think the series needs to move past this style of graphcis and go for something more realistic. Now this generation really has an amazing set of regional Pokemon. Really great designs, and some are very nice references to the UK. In fact, the game does an excellent job at conveying a UK inspired region from its music, to its characters using British slang, to the environments which are very clearly representations of British landmarks. The story of the game is surprisingly sound. I really enjoyed playing through it. The new movie cut scenes are a great addition to this and make the plot more engaging. Hop, your main rival, actually has a very decent arc, as well as other characters. There are also some surprises here and there. The Wild Area is beautiful to traverse through and Max Raid battles are very enjoyable and rewarding. I would recommend this game and I can't wait to sink a lot more hours into it.

We Were Here6
Mar 7, 2021
The game has an interesting concept with yourself and another player taking the roles of 'Explorer' and 'Librarian' whereby you're on two different sides of this strange building. The premise is the Librarian player must assist the Explorer with escaping through each puzzle and then reuniting with them to escape the overall building. It's a fun escape room experience to have with a friend, however the fun really dies after 2 playthroughs (the second being where you decide to swap roles so you can experience the other side of gameplay). After that, the game has pretty much 0 replay value. The solutions to most puzzles remain the same, with a few being randomly generated but the way to solve them being the same. After the second playthough, you really don't have any reason to play again and the whole game can be finished in 15-20 minutes.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy8
Feb 15, 2021
This is a 7.5 rather than an 8, but my rule is I round up games where there's a .5 in my score. The three games overall are good. I'd say the third game, Trials & Tribulations, is the standout game, then the second best is the second game, Justice For All, and finally the first game, Ace Attorney. So I can safely say the games progress in quality. The games have great plots, music and character developments. If you like visual novels then this game is certainly for you. My criticisms would be that the game can get a bit boring with investigations. There's quite a bit of filler for the third to fifth cases of each game, and it gets irritating. While I understand this has satire of the legal system, some of it is just plain bizarre and really takes you out of the game. If you find stuff like a judge being protective over an atractive witness and potentially penalising you as funny then this is good. For me presonally I just found the game to be too comical for my liking. Finally, the gameplay can get repetiive and boring. I would recommend this game - it certainly is an interesting series and the ending of the trilogy is nice for the various characters.

Bugsnax7
Jan 10, 2021
Pros: - Interesting cast of characters and excellent voice acting. Even the Bugsnax are voiced quite nicely! - Catchy music for areas. - Plot got turned upside down towards the end. A very good twist that doesn't feel forced. Great ending for the game. - Good inclusion of LGBT characters that also doesn't feel forced. Not huge for me personally but appreciate for others this may be appealing. - Great writing overall. Cons: - Fast travel is non-existent which gets very irritating. This should be a staple of games now. I wasted so much time going back and forth between areas. - Side quests can feel too similar. Most are just 'catch XYZ bugsnax and feed to this character'. - Catching Bugsnax can get boring and repetitive as you get further into the game. Overall, I do recommend the game but if you're going for 100% completion, such as for trophy hunting, then this will require some effort and commitment.

Jan 4, 2021
This is a must-play for any PS5 owner! This is more than just a tech demo - it is a small, but enjoyable game in its on right. Not only that, it is a wonderful, creative, and thoughtful way of putting together a fun experience for you to learn how to use the new DualSense Controller. A lof of love and thought was put into creating worlds that truly pay homage to the history of the PlayStation brand. You will see AstroBots playing famous PS and non-PS brand characters in the background, which just reminds you of their importance to the history of PS and gaming itself. The sound in this game is also incredible and was a delight to listen to while playing the game. Overall, I can't recommend this enough and for any trophy hunters out there, this is a very easy platinum trophy to add to your collection.

Ghost of Tsushima9
Dec 25, 2020
In total, I have spent 88 hours on this game, completing the story, all side quests/optional content, and 90% of collectibles, so I feel I have a very good grasp of what this game is. First of all, I'd rate this more of an 8.5, but I feel 8 is too low so I'm giving it a 9. Overall, this game certainly lived up to the expectations i had many years ago when it was revealed. And I'm glad to say it didn't turn out to be an Assassin's Creed rip off! Sure, there are clearly parts of the game that are inspired by AC, but it certainly isn't a like-for-like rip off - it has inspiration from several games clearly. And best of all, this is better far better than any of the AC games i've played since that series started! So don't go into this expecting a game like AC that you may drop after a while - this is a nice, sweet and immersive experience that Ubisoft ought to learn from! Let's start with the premise - you're one of the only Samurai left after the first invasion of Tsushima island by the Mongols. The game essentially puts you into the shoes of a samurai who must defy the strict Samurai honour code in order to protect the people of his islannd through more stealthy and creative means. Jin as a character may not feel that engaging, but you have to understand he's a samurai who generally keeps his emotions within him and doesn't openly show them. As you play through the game, you should begin to like Jin more as a protagonist, but don't expect him to be witty like Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series or anything. The supporting characters are all, genuinely, quite great. There's a good range in the personalities of your allies, and that's something i commend **** Punch for doing as they really go well with Jin. The music is fantastic, although it's not a soundtrack I would buy or anything. The peaceful music goes so well with the environment of the game and really match the tone of scenes. Whoever composed the score of this game really put a lot of effort into it! As for graphics - I played on a PS4 Slim on HDR settings and the game was beautiful, so it must look even better on the PS4 Pro and PS5 at 4K. The enviornments go from being lush and colorful forests and fields, to amazing temple and castle architecture, and to sombre environments that the Mongols have destroyed. The art design here is amazing and it's one of the big strenghts of this game. Very immersive and lovely to traverse through! The side quests in this game are quite varied, however do expect quite a bit of tracking missions. However, don't let this deter you as **** Punch do this very well! Much better than Ubisoft with the Assassin's Creed series where tracking missions are slow, boring, repetitive in design, and constitute most of the 'side quests' of the game. You certainly won't expect that here for GoT. You can expect to actually get some lore from the side quests. This is especially so for 'Mythical Tales' and the Tales of your allies. Mythical Tales are very fun, give you a sense of that mythical lore behind the islands, and give great rewards, The tales of your main allies are very well done. **** Punch don't overdo them, yet there's a considerable amount that will keep you invested in these characters' stories. It's a lovely way to get some plot from them and grow them as characters so that you understand them better, which you woudn't get from just playing the main story missions. As for the main story, this was very enjoyable, After Act 1, you should be invested in the story enough to finish. I particularly liked the end of Act 2 and the whole of Act 3. Yet again, a PlayStation studio comes up with a memorable and enoyable story for you to play through. It certainly isn't the best story from a PS exclusive, but a lot of effort was put into it and I definitely think it's something investing time into. Finally, I have to cmmend the progression and collectbles system. It's very satisfying to complete the main and optional quests and level up - the idea is you want to build your 'Legend' up from being a mere fallen samurai to the Ghost of Tsushima that the islanders and Mongols will remember forever. Other than that, it's your standard progression system with points you can spend on weapon techniques, unlocking new weapons, and weapon moves. As for the collectibles, there are a wide range of different ones, each with their own benefits and special cutscenes. Perhaps the most immersive are the 'Shinto Shrines' where you have to traverse across mountain ledges to get to the shrine on top - a bit like those special view points in Assassin's Creed. You also have the hot baths and haiku positions which are very peaceful.

Final Fantasy VII Remake10
Aug 15, 2020
After 5 years of waiting, this game was certainly worth the wait and an amazing RPG altogether. After spending 138 hours to 100% this, it was worth every penny. There was a bit of grind to level up to take on hard mode, but I don't regret playing it a second time. I would highly recommend this game to people interested - it is a very fun game! Firstly the negatives. The graphics for NPCs can often look horrible. not every NPC needs to look amazing but at least make the ones you interact with for the story better looking. Also, there are several instances where Square Enix have just inserted JPEG backgrounds for levels and it is really obvious. It just ruins the feel of the game as there are a lot of backgrounds that look stunning. The voice acting and lip syncing for NPCs is also really bad. This kind of stuff is unforgivable given that Square had 5+ years to perfect this. Now for the positives. Firstly, the models for the main characters are stunning. Truly amazing and conform to the FF trend of characters looking amazing. The voice acting is also superb for the four main protagonists, as well as side characters like Jessie. At least Square didn't miss the mark in this department. The game builds on characters really well and you really feel for the characters. I did cry once or twice and I have to tell you I don't cry much these days for films, tv, video games etc. The battle system is really fun and quick to learn. I highly recommend using the 'Assess' materia ability to learn the weaknesses of opponents and how to beat them. The bosses are really well designed and aren't that easy on Normal mode. I can safely say that some were quite challenging. The overall story is very good. yes some parts are stretched out but it allows for greater character development. There are also not a lot of side quests so it doesn't feel like endless grinding. I can't wait for the next parts of this wonderful game and re-imagining of FF7.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered8
Jul 20, 2020
Great remaster of this classic game. some background assets don't look great but in general the character models and more important parts of levels look great. the story still remains as one of the best COD campaigns. My only criticisms are that this game does not have multiplayer (because if they did obviously their other MW game would die) and the AI is a bit bizarre as I kept being told friendly fire when no friendlies were close to me at all.

I've played the story 6 times and spent in total around 13 hourswith the game. First, let's start with the positives. The lighting, sound and quality of the actual filiming is quite good. Typically these FMV games have low quality visuals, but you can tell this got a decent budget from PlayStation and it stands out compared to other FMVs. The story on the first playthrough also seems quite interesting. But that's really where the positives end. Now the negatives, of which there are a lot. First of all, the controls are absolutely horrible. I'm not sure who's wonderful idea it was to create a phone app as one of the two ways to contol the game,but it was a silly idea. Why would I even consider downloading an app on my phone that wastes storage for a game that I'm only going to play a few times? The only other option is using the DS4 Touchpad. Even this is horrible and not very accurate. Next, there is absolutely no chapter select, or a list of all endings that you've currently unlocked (by example, such things are available in Late Shift). This makes it incredible tedious to replay the game and track the endings you have unlocked and how many there are in total. Also, if you feel you messed up, you can't just quit the game and restart the checkpoint - if you wanted to restart then you would need to start from scratch. The quality of acting across the board is pretty mixed. Some characters are ridiculously bad while others demonstrate some quality, however nobody is exactly amazing. Makes sense considering having A list stars wouild make this game more expensive. The game also used up 40GB of storage which is shocking. Finally, replaying the game provides no real incentive as most decisions and dialogue options are absolutely meaningless. TL;DR: I wouldn't recommend buying this game. Maybe on sale if it's about £3. I spent £5 and I regret it.

Persona 510
Mar 11, 2020
Firstly, I've never played a Persona or SMT game before so this doesn't come from any pre-existing bias to the series. This is genuinely the best PS4 game I've played to date and one of my favourite games of all time. The story is truly remarkable. The characters are well written and the way you develop your confidant relationships with them will really show by the end of the game. It feels so real as if you really got to know them. The music is 10/10 and has one of the best soundtracks for a game that I've ever heard. It has a wide range of different moods in the songs, all of which are great to listen to during your day. The plot is also outstanding. Although the game may be +120 hours, you will enjoy the story if you stick to it. Battle mechanics are also very easy to get used to and incredibly fun. I can't recommend this game **** sheer amount of content in this game is really what games should aim for. This is truly a game that is worth every penny because it was made with passion.

The story was surprisingly decent. Serves as a nice reboot of the MW series and the plot has some good teases/references to the trilogy. The main antagonist could've been developed further. They didn't feel like a proper villain as they weren't really explored into with much depth. They're evil but the game doesn't really elaborate further. It also has a very anti-Russian sort of feeling.

An amazing indie game that lived up to the hype. A simple concept that provides a very enjoyable experience. Never thought I'd have so much fun on a game where I annoy the neighborhood as a goose. The controls in the game are simple and the music is somewhat fitting. It's a really good effort from an indie developer. I recommend getting this on sale as 17.99 is a bit high. I purchased it for around £9 when it launched with a sale promotion.

L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition9
Oct 16, 2019
TLDR: 9/10. Overall great story. Great gameplay. Excellent post-war setting. Cons: Social Club sign in ****. Ending a bit underwhelming. Wouldn't buy full price but on sale it's great. A truly excellent game by Rockstar and a brilliant effort to create something original to divert from GTA. The facial expressions are amazing for a 2011 game. If you love a good crime story, this is for you. It has one of the best stories I've ever played in a game. It takes some time but after thr first third, the story really starts to pick up. This game is remarkable not only for its story but for how well it creates a post-war atmosphere. Excellent examples of this are the protag being a returning war hero, the 95 vehicles present in this era, the mention of homes being built for returning GIs and, best of all, the mention of the real life Black Dahlia case. This game really does a great job of putting you in this era. The people in the game just breathe 1940s. Finding clues (and sometimes easily missing vital ones that) are really well done in this game. You really can make mistakes because of them so the game encourages you to search. I loved being in Cole'd shoes as a detective and hearing Cole's analysis as you unravel the meaning behind some clues. Some say the 25 (I think) cases of the Complete Edition are too repetitive and boring but I disagree. Each one was fascinating to play through if you're a lover of crime novels/shows like myself. My only cons with this game are that: 1. The ending was quite underwhelming. 2. Sometimes the suspects are a little too obvious with their facial expressions when you need to find out if they're lying, telling the truth or making you doubtful. 3. One major plot point in the last third of the game. I won't spoil but I found it very stupid and felt like Rockstar put it in because they needed to rush this last act by quickly making this a driving factor for this third act. It just felt silly. Maybe you won't feel the same so don't let this stop you from buying the game. 4. My close to 100% progress suddenly got deleted due to Social Club being horrible. Luckily I found a way to get it back (it isn't easy). 5. Social Club. It's annoying to have to always sign in before I can load the menu screen despite ticking 'remember me'.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening8
Oct 11, 2019
Never played the original so I have no nostalgia with this game to make my opinion biased. I'm not eve a proper Zelda fan as this is my third game. Yet i find this to be such an enjoyable game to get through! The game is beautifully created with a smaller than usual map to explore, but packed with some really creative dungeons containing fun puzzle solving. The art style is really cute and the music (as usual with Zelda) is outstanding. I can't recommend this game enough for Zelda fans and people who aren't as familiar with the games (like myself - this is only the third Zelda game I've played and my first 2D Zelda game)> The only criticism I have for the game is the frame rate issues which can usually arise when you come out of a building. It only lasts for a second or two but a big budget AAA game like this shouldn't even have this to begin with.

Heavy Rain7
Sep 17, 2019
The things I dislike most about this are the voice acting and the huge plot holes. The children sound incredibly French and that's down to the developers being French and not hiring talent from other countries instead. It gets really annoying and just feels cheap. It ruins the world of the game and doesn't make it seem real for you to immerse in. These are meant to be children from Philadelphia that are American sounding. Their voice acting isn't even good, it feels as though they got one of the production staff's children to do it rather than actual voice actors. This had a good budget so why cut corners like that? The plot holes are so annoying. They expect you to just understand it and work it out yourself but some stuff just makes 0 sense. You would only know if you knew about the deleted scenes. So they just left stuff that was only significant with the deleted scenes and on its own it's just unclear. They should've really cleared those bits. The controls are a bit funny and they're not as good as with Detroit. Then again, this did come out years before Detroit on the PS3 so I can let that slide. Overall, the plot is okay. I enjoyed playing through it and this was quite fresh at the time it was released. Your inability to meet QTEs can actually result in the main characters dying so the stakes are high. But this is only during certain parts of the game, it's not like Until Dawn where there are several moments where characters can die. Of course, if you just don't do anything then it just looks very comedic and unrealistic as it can take a few failed QTEs until you finally die, but the idea of failing and consequently dying is still there regardless. So if you're in for a good crime thriller plot, I'd recommend this. After all, it's the plot you play for in these kind of games. But expect a lot of plot holes like characters suddenly knowing others despite never ever meeting them or knowing of their existence. I feel like there are some plot holes and inconsistencies without spoiling, so I do have to dock points there. This was a decent effort by the developers, however this has definitely not aged as well, especially compared to Detroit which is much better on all levels.

Marvel's Spider-Man9
Sep 1, 2019
This is by far the best Spider-Man game ever. The web-slinging is perfect - it actually feels like you're swinging from webs attaching to buildings and not webs hanging seemingly out of nowhere. The combat is awesome and very inspired by the Batman Arkham series. The voice cast is fantastic. The plot is very original and so damn good to follow. The amount of suits with history from the comics is such a nice touch. This is a must-have for the PS4. However, as much as I want to give this a 10/10, I just can't. I feel the story, although amazing, could've been longer. The run ins with the villains could've been more frequent. The Miles and MJ levels could've been distinguished some way. And finally, the actual open world could've been better. Sure, it's a beautiful recreation of NYC and there are some parts of the city that are great to swing through (like Times Square) but a lot of the buildings are just copy n paste and this annoyed me a bit. There's also not much to do in the open world other than swing through it and complete the missions and challenges. I would've liked some extra side things to do so you actually engage with the city.

First of all, the sound on this game can be horrible. I don't know who decided to make the soundtrack louder than the dialogue but it's often incredibly difficult to hear characters (even when adjusting the volume settings). The acting in this game is a bit mixed, sometimes I felt some cast members were very poor while at times some were more impressive. The plot for the game is your fairly average B-movie plot. It's interesting to get through, but it isn't compelling. Some cast have really fake accents, which just makes this ridiculous. I would recommend this only if it's on sale. This is NOT worth £9.99. I bought this for like £2 so I feel i got sufficient enjoyment for that price.

What Remains of Edith Finch8
Jul 22, 2019
This is an excellent achievement for indie games. The story of the Finch family is beautifully told by the creative ways of introducing each character's tale by exploring the family house. Exploring the house itself is very enjoyable - it's as if you have actually come to this mysterious house and are exploring it yourself, finding each hidden contraption by yourself. The plot is beautifully told and at a pacing that's appropriate to match your exploration speed. I highly recommend this for a good 2 hour ride.

Still such a brilliant game. I really enjoy picking it up in bursts. If you need an addictive game then get this! I love the different types of characters and really enjoy playing different game modes. Only criticism is that there are plenty of toxic players and it gets annoying. Also, the first 10 matches for competitive ranking have really poor matchmaking. Sort that out Blizzard

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - The Final Season9
Jul 9, 2019
This was such a brilliant end to the saga. I really recommend getting this. Telltale even added a few extra gameplay elements to make it more interesting.

This was a very interesting and challenging game to play. I really enjoyed solving the numerous puzzles and the very end has a series of puzzles that you cannot use a walkthrough for. You have to solve the very last puzzles all by yourself! Exploring the island was also very interesting.

Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series8
Jul 9, 2019
I found this to have a strong plot. One of the best for a non-TWD telltale game. This was far better than season 1. I recommend playing this.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered8

Great remaster **** game. The campaign is given a new coat of paint and looks even better than it did over 10 years ago. I only played this for the campaign as I'm not interested in online.

Detroit: Become Human8
Jul 8, 2019
Not quite sure why this game got some hate. I found the game very enjoyable. The plot was really nice to get into and the decision trees show how many different scenarios there are for the overall story. The graphics are also very good. I found it interesting how the game's world sort of mirrors the Civil Rights Movement during the 50s-60s. Interesting allegory there! I would certainly recommend this game especially as it's currently free on PS+ for July.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe10
Jul 8, 2019
This is the best MK game made. It's so fun to play and has so much to it. The online mode on this game is amazing to get into. I've had so much fun so far. The vehicles, the parts, the characters and best of all the retro/new tracks are all so well-designed. Must have for the Switch.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate10
Jul 8, 2019
This game is well and truly Smash Bros as its Ultimate level. Having every fighter means no past fan can't be pleased. The selection is so wide and it's really fun to grind to unlock each fighter (excluding the original 8 who are available by default). I hated how SB3DS had everyone unlocked - it just wasn't fun. The game is constantly being updated to balance which is nice. Online and Battle Arenas are a great mode. My only criticism is that there isn't a Co-Op mode that you and a friend can do online without having to be in the same place on one switch. The closest thing is to open a Battle Arena and fight as a team against others in a team battle.

Dreamfall Chapters7
Jul 7, 2019
The story is great to get through and the game has a nice length. Each Book is fairly long so you get your money's worth. Your choices also matter quite a bit (unlike with telltale games). My only criticisms are that there's some SJW influence here that seems very forced by the developers. The graphics are also mixed. Sometimes they're absolutely amazing, especially with Zoe. But there are some character models that look awful. One character with red hair has POORLY done hair. It' not even 3D! From the side it's just flat. When you see it you'll understand. I get that this was crowdfunded but poorly animated stuff like that makes some characters out of place in this game.

Super Mario Odyssey10
Jul 7, 2019
This is quite honestly one of the, if not THE best, Mario game I've played. For a long time SMB3 was my No.1 however I'm confident to say this has overtaken it. The game is just beautifully designed. Each kingdom is well made and the game pays nice homage to its past. Best of all, this game really rewards you for your curiosity. So many times have I found a power moon randomly by just exploring and talking to random characters. It's so creatively made. The story is quick to get through and the lovely thing is there's so much to return to afterwards. New Donk City is beautiful to explore. This is an absolute MUST BUY for the Switch.

SoulCalibur VI8
Jul 7, 2019
This is a great reboot to the franchise. The game looks great and plays well. This is a good game for beginners/casuals of the fighting game genre. The character selection is also nice with it generally mirroring the original SC game with a few differences (like Tira (introduced from SC3) and Zasalamel (also from SC3). Geralt from the Witcher is a great guest for the game as he really fits in to the setting. The plot of the main story, Libra of Souls, is quite interesting. I would criticise the following though: the individual stories for each character are quite cheaply done. There aren't many cutscenes, it's just artwork of them with dialogue. The main story where you make a character is also quite cheaply done. It's generally just fighting the same sorta fighters with a few differences. As for the biggest criticism - the online mode. Matchmaking is horrible. I kept facing so many people with higher points than me and kept getting destroyed. I very rarely faced someone at my level.

This game has a very beautiful art style. This is perhaps the best part of the game. It's really nice to explore the park and see the environment beautifully animated. The plot starts out really well and you get a sense that it'll develop further. You also build up an interesting relationship with your boss over your walkie-talkie radio. However, by the end you will find yourself disappointed. It seems as though the game was rushed towards the end of development. Also, the navigation system is really annoying. I must've looked at my map a million times throughout playing this. So don't be surprised if you're going in the wrong direction occasionally. Despite this, this does make it a bit more realistic - if you're staying in a national park over the summer and don't know your way around then constantly using a map would be a common thing right? While this game does have something to offer, I don't think I can recommend it. I found myself excited to finish it merely so I could get it off my backlog list and then delete it to increase my storage. Personally, I think it was overhyped by the industry.

God of War10
Jul 7, 2019
This is an amazing game. For veterans of the series, this is a breath of fresh air. For newcomers, this is a great entry to the series. This does a great job to inform newcomers of Kratos' past by giving you enough of his backstory. However, veterans will better understand Kratos' struggle to keep his son safe. The combat in the game is great, the visuals are stunning and the characters are interesting. This is a must play if you own a PS4.
