Gameplay - 7.5/10 | Story - 7.5/10 | Visuals - 6/10 | Sound design/OST - 9/10 | Fun - 5.5/10 | Optimization/bugs - 9/10 => 7.4 The game would be almost a masterpiece if it didn't have so much **** in it. Finished Act III at a bit over 100 hrs and honestly, I wouldn't dare recommend it even to my worst enemy.

It could have been a masterpiece if they had had a bigger budget. What I didn't like is that they used some actors for way too many roles in the game.

Bethesda shouldn't even exist as a company after Fallout 76, the biggest scam in gaming history, only for that I will rate any game that comes out through the gates of this sh** hole of a company with a 0. As for Starfield itself, is the most generic open-world i've played in recent memory, and honestly I do believe that boring is an understatement if I define this game like this.
Gameplay - 7.5/10 Story - 7/10 Visuals - 7/10 Sound design/OST - 8.5/10 Acting/cinematics - 7/10 Fun - 8/10 Optimization - 8/10 ---------------------------------------- 7.6 I never played the original, this reviews just the game as it is and not from the perspective of a remake so I'm not comparing it in any way with the original piece. Okay so in most aspects (story, visuals, acting/cinematics) the game was not great not terrible, was just ok. The only big problems I had with this game were things like movement (tf is that wobbly movement tho) and some combat sequences, I literally don't understand why they made the combat areas so damn small and then spawned something like 55 enemies from which 4 had chainsaws or some **** like that, that is just frustrating, but when the combat worked it worked fine and was very fun. Still, overall the game's good.
I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys games in this genre, such as Inside, for example. Is it better than Inside? No, it is not. However, I still believe that the game is good overall. I loved the beautiful art style, and the puzzles were quite enjoyable. The game had a good atmosphere and a cute story. However, I gave it a 7/10 rating because, despite liking the first half of the game (visuals especially), the second half felt a bit unfinished and lacked impressive new mechanics. Additionally, the story felt rushed towards the end, with an abrupt conclusion.
Gameplay - 8/10 Story - 6/10 Visuals - 7.5/10 Sound design/OST - 8/10 Acting/cinematics - 5.5/10 Fun - 8.5/10 -------------------------------------- 7.3 As far as open-world games go, this one is pretty unique, it has very innovative gameplay and fun exploration, what I think they didn't really do well is combat, with that awkward dodges and parries, unbalanced hit damage, and some boss fights that were pretty lackluster. The story is for kids, that's everything that I'm going to say, I gave it a 6.5/10 just because of the world-building, but without that is a 5/10 story if you have over 12 years old, and think that this is a good story you are a very odd individual, plus every side quest I did in the game was super lame. Cinematics and acting in general is very cringe, lip sync is absent btw. Loved the art style, animations, and everything sound related. Good game overall.
Gameplay - 6/10 Story - 7.5/10 Visuals - 8/10 Sound design/OST - 7.5/10 Acting/cinematics/mocap - 8.5/10 Fun - 7.5/10 Optimization - 7.5/10 -------------------------------------------------- 7.5 I'm definitely not a Marvel fan but this game was way better than I first anticipated. So the good parts are acting, story and visuals. I would say that the story is even better than the movies, was pretty good. On the other hand, the gameplay pretty much ****. The combat becomes very boring very quickly because is very repetitive and the enemies are literally hit sponges. Overall the game is good and for a Marvel fan this game is definitely a must-play.
Gameplay - 5/10 Story - 6/10 Visuals - 8.5/10 Sound design/OST - 7/10 Acting/cinematics/mocap - 5/10 Fun - 5/10 Optimization - 8.5/10 -------------------------------------- 6.4 / 10 This game might have the worst FPS combat I encountered in a long time, is very unclean, chaotic, unfun, with waves and waves of endless enemies and there are even robots that can repair other robots and undo all your combat progress in that specific combat sequence. It's just unbalanced, and the enemies themselves are so fing frustrating to fight is like they really tried very hard to make this game as unfun as possible. You get a silly dodge which often gets you stuck in some textures after performing it, weapons doesn't feel that great and also the bosses design is pretty bad. Don't even make me start on the story and character development in this game, and the dumb, cringe and unlikable main character. It's like the story was written in the bathroom break of GoW Ragnarok or somethis is really really awful. Cinematics look funny and not in a good way. I don't understand the choice of making this game open world, it's very bad in that aspect with a lot of recycled content. The only good part about the gameplay was looting, which was satisfying, other than that is pretty shallow. Oh, and it was a pretty buggy experience too. So overall I definitely cannot recommend this game.
Gameplay - 8.5/10 Story - 8.5/10 Visuals - 8/10 Sound design/OST - 9.5/10 Acting - 8.5/10 Fun - 8/10 Optimization - 3/10 ----------------------------------------- 7.7 Great game, but it is one of the worst optimized games I have ever played. By the end of the game, I had over 50 crashes on a RTX 3070ti, ryzen 9, 16gb ram DDR5 it's laughable how bad it is literally destroyed my experience with the game.
Story - 8/10 Gameplay - 8.5/10 Visuals - 9/10 Sound design/OST - 9/10 Acting - 9.5/10 Fun - 8/10 -------------------------------------- 8.6/10 God of war Ragnarok is a superb game. Although I must say the first was a bit better. I didn't understand why they made some story decisions like pokeball giant stuff, Surtur and Sinmara, and Odin's mask that was useless in the end. The story in the first game was so perfectly crafted, the story in the second was just a good story but was hard to exceed the first. Enemy variety even if it was increased compared to the first didn't really feel a lot better you know, I hoped at least to make the enemies specific in some areas but after they would introduce a new native enemy in a realm they would just casually add it later in another realm. The acting and OST are so well done holy hell, really an amazing performance from the cast. Great game, for me this was the Game of the Year of 2022.
gameplay - 8.5/10 story - 6/10 sound design - 6.5/10 visuals - 9/10 acting - 7/10 fun - 8/10 optimization - 4/10 ----------------------------------- 7/10 (effortlessly an 8/10 if it was well optimized) So the good parts are the gameplay and the visuals, the game is gorgeous and the gameplay is fun and it feels good. Maybe the combat felt a bit repetitive close to the end but overall it felt good. Now the worst parts of this game are the story, sound design, and optimization. The story might just be the most boring thing I've seen in recent times I know is for kids but is just awfully boring. You can sense where the story will go way before actually getting there. Is so very superficial and the characters are so flat written. By the end of the game I did not care not even a bit for any of the characters. And there is the optimization, from 90-100 fps it drops randomly to 20-30 in the same area doing literally nothing (on an rtx 3070ti btw). Unfortunately, this became the norm in gaming and is sad. The sound design is disappointing, on a home theater the voices so echoish even outside of Hogwarts, some sounds are very quiet and others are extremely loud. So, overall the game was a pretty good game if you close an eye on the optimization part. For the right fan of the Harry Potter universe, this might be one of the best games they've played. But again this should not be the norm in gaming and is sad to see developers becoming lazier and lazier in optimizing their games.
Gameplay - 8.5 Visuals - 7.5 Story - 5 Sound - 8.5 Fun - 7.5 ------------------- 7.4 The concept is spot on for a roguelike game, shame it has a cryptic story full of symbolism and the ending really disappointed me. The sound in this game is really good, and the visuals are good overall. Gameplay, as the sound, is the strong point of this game, animations are amazing, is fun and the shooting feels pretty good. Another bad thing about this game is optimization, is full of stutters at launch.
Visuals - 8/10 Sound design - 8.5/10 Gameplay - 5/10 Story - 5/10 Fun - 6/10 -------------------------------- 6.5 The game was ok, with great visuals and sound design but the gameplay was really weak, definitely not as good as Inside but still a decent experience.
Visuals - 9 Sound - 9 Gameplay - 7 Story - 5 (idk) Fun - 7 ------------------- 7.4 Overall I was impressed by it, visually stunning, liked the puzzles, but they shouldn't add any combat to the game in my opinion, it wasn't necessarily bad, the animations were very well made and I didn't encounter any bugs in my playthrough so the combat worked fine but was too simple and tedious. The shooting felt good tho.
Gameplay - 5/10 , controls are sh**, repetitive tasks you get bored after the 4th colossus, i mean they are a bit different, each of them but god damn it gets boring fast even at 6 hours long gameplay it felt long. Story - 5/10 , very generic, your lady is dead, and in order to revive her you need to beat this colossi, that's it. I resumed it with 10 words. Visuals - 7/10, the art of the game is good, and the animations are very well made but even for 2018 game the textures are not that great Sound/music - 8/10 Fun - 5/10, because of bad controls and repetitiveness the game overall feels longer than it is and you'll get frustrated at some point because of those things Still better than The Last Guardian, which was almost unplayable.
Cool concept and story, great animations, and visually very artistic and impactful but the most clunky gameplay I have ever seen in gaming history. This game should have been 4-5 hours, but it took 10-11 because of the bad mechanics. This game is an insult to your time. It's so damn frustrating to point Trico in a direction and he just doesn't want to go or do the thing some tasks you gave him could be done in like 30 secs and then you stay for him 15+ minutes to turn around and sad thing is that I'm not even exaggerating. It often feels like a tester ****, not a finished product. This game is not for you if you do not have a lot of patience it sure has some good things in it like animations which are incredibly made but the gameplay literally **** up the entire game.
The story is meh, but the game is pretty fun, has a few good jokes, and the gameplay is fine too I had fun platforming and shooting in the game is not too long nor too short just fine, overall it's an ok and chill game.
This might be the worst game of the year. Absolutely broken, with so many bugs, the controls are the worst, and the gameplay is so damn boring and uninspired. And the story is as bad or maybe worst than the last games in the series. Are more plot holes in this game than in any strainer, oh and the dialogue most of the time is braindead...
The game looks very beautiful, the story is ok, sound design and acting are good but the gameplay is very rigid and boring at times, it's a shame if this game had good gameplay would have been amazing. But it still is an excellent game and I strongly recommend it for players that like a game with a good story and some really impressive visuals.
+Combat +Traversing +Visuals +Cinematics are really well made __________________________ -Story, if you are like 15 years old or you don't think too much about it it's fine, otherwise might be hard to follow because it has a serious amount of plot holes -Superficial world design -Mission design might be the worst I've seen in recent years in an open world game, insane amounts of repetitive actions in every mission, and around 75% of them feel boring as hell -Acting, besides the main characters the performances fall flat
The game is fun in the first 5 hours but after that it gets boring. The story is super generic, the gameplay has a lot of bugs, the AI is dumb af, and anything besides shooting feels cheap.
I'm aware that most people that gave this game a 10/10 are fanboys all the way. It's just not reasonable, even more, if you played the games that came this month alone (Sifu, Horizon) u just can't nail a 10/10 on this game, is unfair for the rest of the developers that put a lot of effort into their products. Sifu had way smoother gameplay and animations and Horizon feels like it is 5 years in advance in terms of visuals, the difference is gigantic. So what I think the game did good and bad: Good: + World design + Exploration + Art design + Variety of enemies in the world + And let's say the level design Bad: - Graphics (textures, lighting, shadows, etc, feels like a 2014 title, not 2022 one) - Mocap, lip-sync (insanely bad for a AAA developer) - Story (super generic, vague, diluted, the dialogs and characters are super cringe) - Clunky controls - Animations - Sound effects (again super generic) - 60Hz cap?? in 2022? - Optimization, stuttering (for pc at least and for now, maybe it will be fixed with a patch)
I finally played this game 8 years after its release, right after Elden Ring, a masterpiece maybe in 2014, but for 2022 it's just a decent game. gameplay: 8 visuals: 6.5 story: 6 sound design: 5 acting: 8.5 music: 9.5 fun factor: 6 ------------------
