For the longest time, I thought the reason I didn't enjoy video games was because I was getting older. Astro Bot showed me that it was the games that had been terrible in the past few years. I haven't been this excited about playing and going back to a game since the PS2 era. Astro Bot is currently my game of the decade. It is as good as everyone says, if not better.

Mesmerizing graphics (like the best ever, yet!), Witcher 3 like side quests, amazingly original story and perfect gameplay! I love this game so much and I was afraid Sony might drop the ball similar to TLOU2 but nope, it's perfect! Sorry, can't write more, need to play the game! Maybe I can update this in 100 hours or so!

Most overhyped & overrated game of all time! Have you played any Souls games? It's the exact same thing. The game cheats & unnecessarily frustrates you; there's no story, as usual, so not sure what George R R Martin has done in this collaboration. It all depends on repeating the same sequences and building muscle memory, but you know what I would do instead if I had so much time? I would learn to play an instrument and leverage muscle memory for something useful, not this nonsense! Graphics are dated, the gameplay is the same nonsense from 15 years ago and it's buggy as hell! If Cyberpunk had to be punished, how on earth this game is getting away with it?

Took me a while to play, get used to, like and then love RDR2. Hands down, it might be the game of the decade for me. I was not expecting such an amazing story by R*, I absolutely loved the characters and Arthur Morgan easily has become one of my all time characters. Everything about the game ended up feeling right. The first 5 hours are slow, but bear with it, it's an absolute masterpiece.

20 years later, still the best real-time strategy game ever made. From mission & gameplay design to characters & amazing music, Commandos 2 has aged like fine wine.

A game about patience, coming together despite the isolation and healing of a fractured world, it feels prophetic and poetic, especially during this pandemic. I took my time finishing the game, starting it in November 2019 and wrapped it up in August 2020. In a way, I went & played when I needed to feel better about our broken world. The game will test your patience and the first two episodes are the longest and hardest but then it rewards you as you build the world, it shows others like you and let you share the work via the connections you build. A story about anger, revenge, hope, love and life, portrayed beautifully through amazing voice acting, outstanding visuals and stellar music. If you feel the world of us is broken and you feel alone, play Death Stranding, you will love it so much.

I really wanted to love this game but the story has so many holes and unnecessary excessive violence. This is what happens when the VP of Studio also writes and directs with zero supervision. The gameplay needed more polishing as enemy AI is so bad for 2020. It's an alright game, not greatest not the worst but too much hype and too much violence trying to jump on GoT train, ended up like Season 8 of it. Honestly, I would have preferred to have not played this one and treated Part 1 as standalone.

The original RE3 has been one of my all time favorite games, I loved the game and was looking forward to the Remake. Reading the reviews, I was worried maybe I should wait for the bargains and cancel my preorder. So happy I didn't! Do yourself a favor, play the game on Hardcore on the first run and you will truly enjoy the run. I remember original RE3 was also under fire when first released, this one is good, don't let nonsense reviews make you think otherwise. Some parts are cut but in a sense, they wanted the story to make more sense and it does.

The king is back! I cannot believe how amazing the gameplay is on PES 2020, I am no fanboy, I didn't get the 2019 and opted for Fifa based on the demos but boy, PES 2020 sealed the deal for me! The degree of realism and exciting gameplay is the best since the age of football games began in 90s. If you are a football fan, do yourself a favor and buy this game. The option files are already out so the license issues won't cause you harm either.

I have finished all Quantic Dream's (not David Cage, he is not QD, people should give the studio the credit!) games since Fahrenheit and while I enjoyed them, there was always something lacking or too much but that trend ended with Detroit for me, it checked all the boxes and got the perfect score from me! It might change in the next-gen but Sony really did an amazing job this generation! (I own all three major consoles and love the games without factoring which console it's on) I can't believe how much negative reception the game got, I assume it's because David Cage is probably not much of a decent human himself but maybe those reviews should have factored the team behind it and judge the game, not the studio head. Let's get to the game: First of all, the decisions really mattered and the game really changes based on them; it's also so smooth that you don't realize that you might be off the path. But the amazing point is, it's not just for the sake of having different paths, they actually are all well-crafted! The three separate characters really feel like three different games with Kara being my favourite one and Connor and Markus tied at second (ok, I like Connor a bit more, to be honest!), yet somehow the stories come together so well that you can feel the butterfly effect! Unlike Heavy Rain which had very poor voice acting, the acting in Detroit is amazing, I really liked the level of attention and the love the actors had put in! (I recommend watching the behind the scenes clips of the show) The music was top notch, great idea to have three different artists for each character, really well-done! The graphics are so great and beat games released this year! It's amazing how well it performs on PS4. Granted, you should like the genre: it's not everybody's cup of tea but if you do like Interactive Narratives, this game is hands down the best one ever made. I was going through the news and saw that QD recently formed a new partnership with NetEase so I am not sure if the next QD game would be a loot box riddled mobile game or else, but if this is the last AAA game they made, it ended on a high note!

One of the most unique games in past few years, it really plays with your mind and heart. The first 30 minutes are slow and you have to be patient but then it grows on you and make you fall in love with the game.

Nothing short of masterpiece, amazing story, spectacular quality gameplay and new awesome lead character! I'm having trouble picking between this and U4 as my favorie game in series.

The king is back, and it is glorious! The gameplay is smoother than ever, football is real and feels genuine! In recent years, the only missing part of PES package was the lack of licenses, and with super easy Option files, that is just a part of history! If you like football, do yourself a favor, grab a copy of PES 2017 for PC or PS4, download the latest Option file and enjoy for a long time (until PES 2018 gets released)!

It was the only PS4 game that I had to sell in a week's time. I tried my best to love it, then just to like it but I ended up hating it. It's a game without story, with repetitive enemies which are always at the same spot, doing the same thing and you will be killed again and again and have to encounter those boring enemies again and again. The game is not hard as you should learn and then play, it is cheap and repetitive and boring. If you are not a Souls' fan, you should stay away...

I am not a fanboy of FIFA or PES, I used to play FIFA 12 and 14 on my PS3 and I was really happy with them at the time but I gave PES 2015 a try and then PES 2016 demo this year and I was really hooked. After playing the demo for a while I couldn't resist anymore and bought the full game, I also played the FIFA 16 demo, comparing two demos buying PES was a no-brainer, FIFA has all the licences and blah-blah but inside the pitch, PES is king! PES 2016 has the ability to import custom Kit files so in a couple of weeks you can enjoy all teams like it is fully licensed! I must tell, I have never enjoyed a sports game this much, even playing with CPU is great and full of surprises and two matches never play and feel the same. I keep playing different teams just to discover how different players do magic and I am not a bit disappointed! I am gonna play PES for a long time to come, either with friends or with AI, if you haven't tried it yet, just do yourself a favor and grab the demo, you won't regret it! See you soon in online games!
