This game is one of the most fascinating games I’ve ever seen. A game with no personality, a game with a lot of ideas that was taken from other games, and a game that got a LOT of exposure for being presented as the “new breed of shooter” at The Game Awards, when clearly it was a game with “interesting” ideas, good gunplay, and a nothing experience that I don’t get what the executives were thinking to shadow-drop this game like Apex Legends. Highguard is a fascinating tale of what not to do when making a video game. Certainly didn’t die as fast as Concord, but definitely another game where it’s like “did anyone ask for this?” This game is easily a 6 out of 10. A mid game with the game thankfully being free-to-play for that substantial chunk of players at launch. Certainly not fantastic. Certainly not horrible. It’s just fine. That’s all I can say regarding Highguard.

Wow. Just absolute insanity, in all of the absolute funnest, most impactful, and graphically stunning in all of the best ways possible, and this is one hell **** of the Year for 2026, with absolutely fantastic gameplay, unbelievably gorgeous visuals, a emotionally compelling story that absolutely touches your heart, and a highly anticipated game that absolutely deserves all of the attention that it deserves, this is a truly remarkable accomplishment from one of Japan’s all-time greatest developers of all time, and it is certainly a game that is a technological milestone for both the PlayStation 5 and Capcom’s RE Engine. Resident Evil Requiem is truly one of a kind. It is easily the third best game in the entire series behind RE2 and RE4, and absolutely worth as one of 2026’s best as the first AAA release of the year. This game is easily a 10 out of 10. A accomplishment that Capcom should absolutely be proud of for years to come.
It is fascinating to talk about Battlefield 6, because yes the campaign is mindless fun and boring as hell at times, this game is a absolutely blast to play through, especially when the multiplayer is the main talking point for this particular game. Not much else to say about BF6. 9 out of 10. Damn good stuff.
Straight off the bat, it’s more of RoboCop: Rogue City. The same awesome gameplay is still here with expanded levels and can play as not just RoboCop himself without making the game overstaying its welcome, and continues to be one of the better AA games of the past 5 years and one of the best licensed games of the entire decade for a reason. Teyon still has my trust for making an awesome base game with Rogue City and this awesome expansion with Unfinished Business.I’m giving Unfinished Business the same rating as Rogue City itself as a 9 out of 10. It’s more of Rogue City, and it’s still hella great!
Okay.. I am very shocked to say that for a Nintendo 64 game from 1997 still holds up really damn well, from the fantastically fun gameplay, to the cheesy and sweet story, and how it respects your time, it is a classic that I think is it still worth playing by today’s standards. I’m giving SF64 a 9.5 out of 10. Sure, it is a bit dated in some ways, but what still lies ahead of a really awesome game that Nintendo would never overlook.
Wow. Just wow…. This game, while definitely having a multiplayer experience that is more reminiscent of Black Ops III, I am literally not ashamed to say this, but this game has got to be the most underrated and most underappreciated Call of Duty game I’ve ever played out of the entire series, between the awesome and emotional campaign, moment-to-moment gameplay, and the absolutely fantastic and underrated greatness that is Zombies in Spaceland, Infinite Warfare is just a fantastic ride from start to finish and is widely known as a game that unfortunately suffered from bad timing at the time due to the fatigue of jetpacks in COD, and the incredibly talented Infinity Ward tried their damn hardest to give us a game that should not be lost in the past. Because of the multiplayer and the fact that casuals was over the jetpacks at the time, I am giving IW a 8.5 out of 10. Just an absolute fantastic game that its initial reception is not nice to at all.
Out of all of my years playing a ton a platformers, this is easily one of the funnest and most destructible games I’ve ever played and a game that is 100% worth playing for the Switch 2, with Donkey Kong’s incredible and destructible movement, to the incredible amount of detail, the awe-inspiring soundtrack, and the amount of fun that you can have, it is no doubt that Bananza is easily one of the greatest platforming games ever made and a game that defines what makes Nintendo a household name in the industry. I’m giving Bananza a well deserved score of a 10 out of 10. Just an all around great game that will give the Switch 2 something worth playing for. Super fantastic.
This is such a awesome VR game and I highly recommend it. Hard. From the addictive gameplay, to the visuals, how quick it is to go through, and to the replayability, this is easily the best PS VR2 game on the market right now and it is such a shame that the VR2 is a complete afterthought because if you are a VR aficionado, this is a hard recommend for fans of both VR shooters and roguelikes in general. I am giving Synapse a 10 out of 10. Such a great game to play all the way through.
For a launch title for the new and improved Nintendo Switch 2, this is a perfect game to launch with the system, with excellent graphics, gameplay while isn’t as epic as Mario Kart 8, was still a blast to play through, a open world that is great but isn’t much to really do, the incredible online, and the execution of the Knockout Tour is fantastic. Overall, if you want to save a extra 30 bucks and to get this game with the console, then this is the game for you, as it is one of the most quality and fun Nintendo games in a while. Because of that price, I’m bumping it down a bit, with a 8.5 out of 10. Genuinely an excellent game allaround.
In my opinion, while being a better game to play in comparison to GTA 5, Red Dead 2 manages to live up to the expectations of the original game and Rockstar made it better as an all time great. Gameplay is great, a underappreciated but not great online, great horseriding, fantastic graphics, runs beautifully well, and overall, this game is one of the greatest and most technologically impressive video games ever made, because there is not much you can complain about this game. I give it a 10 out of 10.
For a game to end the peak of the Call of Duty franchise so perfectly, Black Ops II was everything Treyarch had built up to at this point with a awesome Campaign with the characterization of Raul Menendez and the fantastic multiple choices that was innovative, the excellent Zombies with maps like Buried and Mob of the Dead, and the iconic multiplayer with weapons like the MSMC and the Barrett M107 and even Ranked Play, Black Ops II is the complete Call of Duty package that still holds up phenomenally well as my favorite game of 2012, my favorite game from Treyarch, and one of my favorite of the seventh generation of consoles. Can’t believe that this year is 2025 and that is where the game’s future level takes place in. I am giving Call of Duty: Black Ops II a 10 out of 10. A game that deserves its reputation as the last great Call of Duty game, as this is the complete package for its own sake. Excellent game.
Oh my God…… I can’t even put into words about how much this game…. means a lot to me. This game is one of the greatest gaming experiences I’ve ever had in my 10 years of playing video games. Everything about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 scores Perfection. From the fantastic turn-based battle system, to the epic storytelling, to the generational soundtrack by Lorien ****, to the incredible visuals, to the amazing cast of characters, everything about Expedition 33 is exactly what I needed after the last few years of lackluster AAA games that is filled with corporate culture, and literally one of the most impressive and remarkable accomplishments in a industry that is consumer driven and for a game made by literally 33 people, I can’t even imagine how other developers would make such a game like this. Sandfall Interactive, you deserve this honor, because I can’t imagine to say that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an instant 10 out of 10! Genuinely a masterpiece that you would not be disappointed with. Just perfect, and for a game made by 33 people…. This is Perfection.
Okay, I have to give this out of my chest. While I absolutely hated the way that the game was OVERLY monetized at launch with these stupid Star Cards through loot boxes, now after EA has removed the money in a rare move, in one of the most tragic stories in gaming, this is a very good game when it is not over monetized, with a ton of content, between the campaign that is developed by Motive, known for the fantastic Dead Space remake, and a ton of multiplayer modes, it looks absolutely fantastic for a PlayStation 4 game, the gameplay is very fun and engaging, being reminiscent of the classics from Pandemic Studios, but when you over monetize it when you fill it with trash at launch, it is impossible to get out of that negative energy. Overall, despite being a tragic example of EA being EA, Battlefront II, in its current state is a solid game that is filled with a lot of content, a great looking game visually, and a decent story (which I heard wasn’t that good, but what can you do). I am going to give the current state of DICE’s Star Wars: Battlefront II a 8.5 out of 10.
What do I need to say about the 2016 entry in the Doom franchise? This game is legendary at this point. This game is a blast from start to finish, with the best gameplay in the entire series, great graphics, a godlike soundtrack, incredible improvements from the classic games, and it is the ultimate game in the Doom franchise. Overall, if you want a game that is a blast from the past and a game that no doubt deserves to test your FPS skills, Doom is the ultimate shooter for you. Doom 2016 is not only the best shooter on PlayStation 4, but also the greatest first-person shooter of all time. This game is everything that the classic Doom games have and cranks it up to the next generation in a legendary way. It is not a surprise that Doom is a masterpiece, and is id Software’s greatest achievement in the industry in one of the best games of the 2010s. I am giving Doom a 10 out of 10. Simply what a fun shooter should be. Fantastic.
When it comes to the complete package, Call of Duty: Black Ops is the ultimate Call of Duty experience with a masterpiece of a campaign, a fantastically gorgeous multiplayer, and the perfection of the zombies, Black Ops is Treyarch‘s version of COD 4. Black Ops is proper Call of Duty. Simply at its core. And that is why I am giving Call of Duty: Black Ops a 9.5 out of 10. A game that is a bit overshadowed by both Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops II. But it should not have because it is simply fantastic.
To be completely honest, it is really impressive on how Treyarch and Raven Software delivered a fun Call of Duty title after Sledgehammer was supposed to develop with Raven, later becoming a Black Ops game and it was a good one. With a entertaining short and sweet campaign, solid zombies, and despite the downgraded multiplayer, the game has enough variety to make Cold War a fun launch title for PlayStation 5 and a underappreciated game because of the Warzone intergration. I am giving Cold War a 8.5 out of 10. A better COD that a lot of people didn’t give it credit for.
Wow! I was expecting Split Fiction to be a great game, but my God, this game excels at my expectations and was turned into a complete classic, as this game is simply fantastic. This game has everything that I want for a co-op game, with a fantastic story, smooth controls, awesome puzzles, great visuals, and overall, if you want a superb co-op experience that you can play with either a friend or a parent, Split Fiction has got everything that you needed for a co-op experience. I am giving Split Fiction a 9 out of 10. Super fantastic.
Teyon, you guys really blew me away with RoboCop Rogue City. This is a excellent game, with fantastic gunplay, great visuals for a smaller development team, and overall, if you want a incredibly fateful adaptation for the RoboCop franchise and if you want the real RoboCop 3, then this game is for you. I am giving it a 9 out of 10. Just simply fantastic.
Sniper Elite: Resistance is more Sniper Elite which is a good thing because this franchise is underrated and under appreciated, and from what I’ve heard, is more of the scope of Sniper Elite 5, and Resistance is a improvement on 5 and slightly on 4 in several ways, with a smarter AI, improved visuals, better gameplay, the inclusion of player invasion, and overall, if you want more Sniper Elite, the awesome Rebellion has definitely got you with a great time with Resistance, which is simply another Sniper Elite game. I am giving Sniper Elite: Resistance a 8 out of 10.
So far, Gaiden 2 Black is good old NG2, but with better visuals, improved gameplay, and an overall great experience that makes me appreciate more of Ninja Gaiden 2 in comparison to the Ninja Gaiden that on the original Xbox, especially the Black version of the game. I am going to give NG2B a 9 out of 10.
Holy s**t, MachineGames really got me good with this amazing game, I almost didn’t want to play for the reason why the excellent Cyberpunk 2077 got a terrible launch, but I was wrong, very wrong, with amazing visuals, fun gameplay, a incredible story, awesome soundtrack, and overall, a great time that don’t feel like a unnecessary cash grab and a game that is finally worth a damn on the Xbox Series X. I’m definitely giving the Great Circle a 9 out of 10. Absolutely awesome stuff. Bethesda somehow continues to amaze me with games not developed by Bethesda Game Studios. Just excellent.
Wow. Atlus’s P Studio really spoiled me with this incredible remake, with a emotional and life changing story, a awesome soundtrack, great visuals, redefined combat, and overall, if you want a remake that is better than the original in every way possible, Persona 3 Reload is a excellent package and is one of 2024’s best of gaming by a landmark. I am giving Reload a 9.5 out of 10. A absolutely incredible game that definitely needs to be studied in the history books. Fantastic.
I am not going to lie, I felt that the hero shooter genre was always oversaturated by the same three games, and even the commercial failure that was Concord, and always thought the genre was a afterthought for multiplayer games, but Marvel Rivals comes in out of nowhere and holy Christ, I was not expecting the amount of hype and the fun that the developers at NetEase had been succeed in amount of variety that the game has to offer and how they listened to the community, even implementing a game changing Battle Pass system by completing the pass while the later seasons is available. While the game doesn’t succeed in a perfect execution, Marvel Games finally got something special outside of Sony’s Spider-Man series and something I would never forget when I think about online games on next generation. Marvel Rivals is simply fantastic and a game I instantly want to succeed at its best. I’m definitely going to give Marvel Rivals a 9 out of 10! Of course its not perfect, but those minor flaws don’t matter, as this is an experience if you enjoy the hero shooter genre and Marvel as a whole. Hey Disney, you came in clutch with a W for a game again.
Black Ops is just fantastic. Everything that Treyarch was succeeding in in their second game in the Call of Duty series, and it was just simply excellent in terms of the awesome writing, storytelling, gameplay and the graphics for the time, and the crazy thing is, THATS JUST THE MAIN CAMPAIGN!!! The multiplayer is just addictive, of course, as a COD tradition, and the zombies is just iconic, especially if you have friends to play the mode with you. Overall, Black Ops is nearly a perfect game in the much maligned Call of Duty series and a title that is definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already played it yet. I’m giving Black Ops a 9.5 out of 10. Just fantastic.
Aside from save data issues while going for the Platinum on this game, words cannot even describe how much a masterpiece Astro Bot really is. Between the gameplay, the beautiful visuals, the soundtrack, the simple, but somehow emotional storytelling, the nostalgia for how much PlayStation representation there are in the game, pretty much everything about this game just screams “Game of the Year worthy” across all fronts. If you want to experience a true non-Nintendo platformer, and wanted to experience an emotional storytelling platforming experience, Astro Bot is a ride that you will never ever forget. I give the game a well deserved 10 out of 10!! Thank you Team Asobi for all of the hard work, dedication and support to help release this legendary experience.
Okay, after 2 weeks of this story, I can safely say that Concord was a concept that was an economic disaster for Sony Interactive Entertainment. With no innovation, bland character models, a fine enough gameplay, a attempted story, and on top of all that, a $40 price tag, the game is nothing short of a decent multiplayer experience that should not have cost money at all when contemporaries like Blizzard’s Overwatch, Respawn’s Apex Legends, Riot’s Valorant, and later NetEase’s Marvel Rivals are all free to play and are actually enjoyable games. Ultimate Verdict: Fun concept, fumbled by modern gaming tropes, a lack of actual content on release and a bust of a price tag: 5.5/10
Wow…This game was my first true Hitman game I have ever played, and this game is why IO Interactive has my respect for becoming one of the best and most underrated game developers ever. This game is the ultimate Hitman package for old and new fans and IO had used all of their great knowledge that they had created 16 years prior to creating a true masterpiece. This game has some of best gameplay for a stealth game that I have ever played, truly becoming the pinnacle of sandbox assassination. When I found out about the previous games and the story of their games are directly linked, it is a true sequel and surprisingly, it is a really intriguing and captivating storyline, with the cinematics are insanely gorgeous and directed very well, providing a intriguing break from trail that keeps you invested in what happens. Gameplay wise, this is a dream, perfectly executed the right balance between the snappiest of the previous game, Absolution, and the looseness of the older games, always are in control, ensuring that exploring each of the maps a breath of fresh air and the disguise has been implemented greatly as only a few will become sus if they see you, thus making this feature useful, and the awesome instinct is now implemented as a intel tool that highlights all of your surroundings- oh yeah, even throwing is hilariously fantastic, chucking that ****, thus making it entertaining and insanely useful as well. Well the game is mostly expertly designed and well polished, it has its fair share of flaws. One of the biggest flaws is that this is a single player game that incentives an always online connection, where all of your progression hinges on you to play on a server. The second issue that most people had when the game launched was IO’s understandable decision to go episodic. Sure this criticism just doesn’t matter anymore since all of the maps are released and you are getting the full experience, but for someone who was there in the beginning, it would always stick out for those people who played it at the beginning. Release structure and online requirements aside, Hitman is one of best stealth games of all time, becoming a excellent return to form for the franchise, becoming the best playing entry with a strong level of polish and care, which shines through greatly. It amazed me that it won a Game of the Year and it would never be topped as the pinnacle of the franchise. I give the game a 10 out of 10!
I have to simply say this. This game was one of the greatest gaming presentations I have ever seen for a sports game, from the audio, the bat cracking sounds, the crowd booing you in their state, and even the commentary team as they react heavily towards your play, making villain decisions that can piss them off hard. I could go about the many other features that are in the game such as in game highlights, stat overlays and replays, and visually, could see players react realistically. For my final verdict: MLB 10: The Show was and still is a fantastic video game that successfully replicated everything that you and I love about baseball. If I could pick a PS3 sports game to play for the rest of my life, I’d be more than satisfied with this game. Best gameplay, best franchise depth, and best presentation, help deliver us one of the greatest sports video games of all time. This game transports you to a era where Sony was aiming to surpass Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and destroy 2K by releasing the best possible exclusive MLB year after year, and it was not just a great baseball game for PS3, not just the best sports game for the console, but one of the BEST PlayStation 3 games of all time in general. That statement is why I give MLB 10 a fitting rating of a 10 out of 10! Just a masterpiece that Sony can’t top ever again.
One of the best examples of a franchise that is better than the new, Battlefield 3 still holds up to this day with great graphics, a incredible story, a relative multiplayer, and overall, a great FPS over Modern Warfare 3 and a fantastic experience that EA has yet to unfortunately have yet to deliver a Battlefield game in the same level as 3, outside of 4 and 1. I’m giving it a 9.5 out of 10.
“The beauty of Helldivers 2 is in its simplicity” If that doesn’t get more Sony than this, I don’t know what does. So far it is great, with great gameplay, beautiful visuals, crazy creative mechanics, and overall, a great attempt at a live service looter shooter despite having technical issues.
Just finished it, and my oh my God, the fact that I’m completed with it after two years of release is how much I don’t want to miss out, and it was a $60 pre-order purchase that is worth it. A masterpiece of a story, the graphics are BEAUTIFUL and is GORGEOUS on the Pro, the soundtrack is hella underrated, and overall, if you want a sequel that took 13 years after the original game, Remedy took everything from their previous games and made it as a legit Game of the Year contender for 2023. It deserves a full blown 10 out of 10. Sam Lake, you outdid yourself perfectly.
Even if I played it for 10 minutes, you can’t deny that Hades is just fantastic. This is the PERFECT rouge-like experience that you should play for an addicting gameplay, an interesting premise, and overall, if there is any rouge-like experience you might enjoy, then this is for you. Definitely want to see people play the sequel when it releases.
After finishing the game and getting the Platinum, I can confidently say that it’s one of my Game of the Year contenders and one of the best PlayStation 5 only experiences I’ve ever played. Fantastic graphics, great collectibles, a PEAK story, a beautiful soundtrack, and overall, it is easily one of best games of 2023, and a TRUE system seller for PlayStation 5 that people will talk about for years to come. I give it a flat out 10 out of 10!
Currently right now, the PlayStation 5 is easily my personal favorite console that came from the insane year of 2020, and what a console it is right now. The already fantastic lineup of games, the 8K compatibility, the DualSense controller, the backwards compatibility from PS4, and overall, even if the price is $500, the PlayStation 5 is definitely worth it, and coming off a high from the legendary PlayStation 4 is still incredible to witness. I give it a 10 out of 10.
Microsoft is trying to redeem themselves from the wild ride of the Xbox One and Windows, and they are so far doing a great job at making it different compared to the One, with it playingall of the games from the One (except Kinect) and some OG and 360 games, gamesbeing played in 4K 120 FPS is beautiful, and overall, Microsoft is trying their hardest to go back to the days of the Xbox 360 from 2005-2011, and it’s definitely one of the better Xbox consolesyou should buy, despite the $500 price.
So far, Eternights has so much potential to remind me of Persona, and it has the ability to be something interesting. A unique story, a nice combat, a interesting and intriguing dating system and overall, a PS5 experience that has the potential to be something unique for the future of JRPGs.I’m giving it a 9 out of 10. -My Review from IGN
Hell, you can make an argument that the PC version of Starfield is arguably even a bit worse than the Xbox Series version. Hey! You can’t even barely play it on the Steam Deck or the ROG Ally. Overall, either PC or Xbox, it is not one of the better games of 2023, but it is definitely 10 times better than whatever the hell Redfall was. Final Score: 6 out of 10 (PC), 7 out of 10 (Xbox)
With my hopes not that high on Starfield, the game itself lived up to my decent enough expectations, with a lackluster story, great combat when it works, a game that overpromised and failed sadly, and overall, it is certainly one of the games of all time, and it is definitely a game that is looked back as a game with a TON of flaws.
Dead Space 2 is a sequel while it is not as good as the first one, the fact that Visceral Games has understand that they can make some fantastic games, even if the sequel isn’t as good as DS1. Great gameplay, Isaac now has a voice, an intriguing story, fun mechanics, and overall, it’s a nice game that improves upon the original in a lot of ways. I’m giving it a 9.5 out of 10.
Just started playing FF16 and it is great. I’m not kidding, it’s REALLY great. Great gameplay, fantastic graphics, a intriguing story, great mechanics, and overall, if there is any Final Fantasy game that you should start playing other than FF7 Remake and FF15, this is your best bet. I give it a 8.5 out of 10.
A remake of the PlayStation 3 classic from 2009, the full remake of Demon’s Souls lived up to the expectations of the console and what a launch title it was. Difficulty matters again, the BEAUTIFUL graphics, well designed bosses, the controller features are heavily apparent, and overall, a fantastic launch title for the PlayStation 5 that is worth the rage and a great example **** that lived up to the expectations. Fun Fact: Demon’s Souls PS5 is one of very few games that have a Metacritic Must Play on the console’s launch day. I’m going to give it a 9 out of 10.
In my opinion, while it’s not nearly as good as GTA 5, Red Dead 2 manages to live up to the expectations of the original game and Rockstar made it better. Gameplay is great, a underappreciated online, great horseriding, fantastic graphics, runs beautifully well, and overall, one of the best games of 2018, because there is not much you can complain about this game. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.
RR3 is a interesting racing game to say the least. On one hand, it is one of the most gorgeous games on the iPhone that EA has ever released, but on the other hand, the game was rigged with microtransactions and at times, infuriating controls, and before 2023, EA was being EA. So in the end, EA and developer, Firemonkeys provided a racing game that has so much going on.
Even on PC, Rift Apart is still fantastic after 2 years to its release. Gameplay is great, visuals are fantastic, graphics are fantastic depending on your PC, being Steam Deck verified is awesome, and overall, either PS5 or PC, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart still knows how to make it fantastic even after 2 years from the release on PlayStation 5. Give it a 9 out of 10.
If it wasn’t for the delisting and server shutdown, it would be a contender for one of the best racing games on PlayStation 4. Atmosphere was beautiful, car list was great, the handling was amazing, and overall, if you want a Gran Turismo on PlayStation 4 before Sport, then this is the game for you. I give it a 9 out of 10 without the DLCs.
With the game now on the console that is my favorite, I can confidently say that High on Life is the best comedy game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Gameplay is addictive, the jokes were too much to be hilarious, the story was fascinating, the dialogue was great, it did everything that games that shoved in comedy was totally forgotten how funny it was and this was perfect for bad jokes to actually be hilarious and many fourth wall breaks that was too good to be true. Overall, if you want a comedy game to cheer you up and you like Rick and Morty as well as Solar Opposites, then this is the game for you. I give it a 9 out of 10!
