Matthematics

An absolute must-have for any PS4 user. You NEED to add this to your collection. Basically a walking simulator, the inventory management system is amazing. The story is well-thought out and executed to, arguably, perfection. Graphics are amazing. I sometimes forget I'm playing a game, the story feels real. It's hard to put this into a specific category, because Death Stranding kind of feels like its own category. If you don't know what I mean, you'll just have to get the game.

I am writing this review after first purchasing it today and playing roughly 3 hours of it. I am glad I did. I wanted the nostalgia feeling back from childhood, so I decided to go through the entire LEGO Star War series, but I do not have a PS2 or PS3 right now. I do have a PS4, so this was the first that I could grab. Overall, fantastic game. I love the new multi-building system and the new and engaging puzzles they have added. Reimaging my childhood in FHD is amazing, and honestly, there isn't anything bad about the game. There is one thing I'm taking off from and that's the fact that the controls can feel a bit clunky. When you're grappling or trying to aim with a blaster, it can feel slow and inaccurate. If you get past that, it's a thriller and definitely something for the LEGO fans to have for their collection.

This was my first introduction into the LEGO video games era, and a big part of my childhood. I played this game for HOURS. The replayability is amazing, the puzzles are challenging and fun, the story is well thought out and executed to near perfection.

Indeed, one of Gran Turismo's best games, I enjoy the old graphics of racing, making it stand out from the rest. This was one of the childhood PS2 games that I played on my family's PS2. There are many different modes to choose from, along with all of the featured licensed cars from brands like Ford and Chevrolet. The racing experience is something unforgettable. I cannot compare it to previous GT titles, nor newer ones as this was the only one I played. It definitely deserves all the credit it has received.

Mario Kart Wii brings out the competitive side in me. This is one of the first games in my childhood, where I took pride in beating my friends and family. The game is executed to almost near perfection, and is an excellent way to play with others. It was one of the best online Nintendo experiences ever. The cute animations, the character design, world design, everything is what it should have been. It is definitely another Nintendo classic and a must-have.

Boy, do I miss this game. I don't know why Valve had to completely erase CS:GO and overwrite it for Counter Strike 2. It should have been an entirely different project. However, it has huge potential and it is a great FPS game, a classic if you will. As a player with prime status, it is more fun as you can see your progress and improve your skill rating. Without Prime, it can get a little unrewarding and boring. I'm glad it's a game that you don't have to pay to win. You actually do have to be good at the game to be good at the game.

Rocket League is a game that's worth playing hours and hours and hours and hours and hours (I think you get the point now). I play it from Steam (switched to Epic Games for a bit until I realized how bad it is) and have around a total of 1,900 hours. It has a wonderful comedic spin on soccer and car-flipping action. There are many modes that you can play with, but it isn't anything you haven't already seen. The game concept is original and it is executed very well. While I am rating this a 9/10 because of overall gameplay and execution, there is one thing that you need to be aware of, which is the reason I am not rating it a 10: the matchmaking system for competitive (ranked) matches. In my honest opinion, it is not something to brag about. I've been playing for 6 years, and it has only slightly improved. Some would say it has gotten worse. There have been some weird occurrences, with oddly timed lag spikes that prevent me from scoring or assisting (no, my wifi was fine) as well as being paired with teammates that feel like they are two full ranks below me. I have streaks where I will win 10 games no matter how badly I actually play, regardless of my teammate's performance, and there will be times where I will lose 10 games no matter how good I actually play, regardless of my teammate's performance. This is extremely inconsistent and an issue for me if I want to try and actually become good. No matter how much time I put, I am consistently at battle with the matchmaking system, not my actual opponents. So, while the matchmaking system needs to be revamped, everything else about the game is fire.
