So little improvements from UFC 4. This feels like a very expensive DLC that you could almost argue should be a free add on to the former game. Punches still feel slow and lacks impact, career is boring and lacks more simulation to immerse you as a player (press conferences, more unknown promotions to start your career in, retirement system so you dont fight 50 year olds in the main events). They dont even have Bruce say your record, he just rushes through your intro like "fighting out of the blue corner....THIS GUY". Its not a horrible game, you can have some fun with it, but its frustrating to see a triple AAA company put in such a low effort every time. MMA deserves much more.

Great game that takes Amnesia back to what made it great: horror with hide and seek mechanics and puzzles. I think they could have made the puzzles a bit more challenging and perhaps had the enemies outside the main monster be more interesting. Other than that it was the perfect game for me and the best thing to come out since Alien Isolation. The setting of a bunker is so cool too, something that is usually seen as as a safe haven is turned into pure horror.

Gameplay: If you have played any other souls type gameplay, you know what the main purpose is, roll, dodge, hit enemy ones or twice, repeat. It remains fun because of the large enemy variation, but I feel it could have been innovated more. I played the game as a Samurai type guy and for my second playthrough a Mage type. Difference is not huge, but I use ranged attacks much more with the mage and its fun to see all the different spells in the game. Immersion: The game has amazing graphics and the world contains a wide range of areas and exploring them is one of the best parts of the game. Honestly one of the best open worlds I think I have played and I rarely wanted to use quick travel. Story: I expected more considering they have George RR Martin on the cover. I get that the game doesnt needs a cutscene every 5 minutes. I get thats not what they want to be. But just give me something..I feel like the game has all this crazy lore and backstory, but I couldnt feel help but feel like that when I started the game, all the story had already happened, and I was just too late to experience it. I wished that, when I defeated a boss, like at Stormhill Castle, then the enemies there became friendly and I sort of took over that area. Instead they just respawn and mindlessly try to kill you over and over, even though I have defeated their leader. Lenght: The game took me about 100 hours to fully complete and that was just my first playthrough. There is so much to fight and loot to find. The game also has multiple endings and the amount of characters to play as made me easily want to replay it. Some of the bosses are heavily reused though and just named something different and I often found myself thinking, "didnt I kill you like 4 times already".
