This was the peak for the HOMM series, 3 was pretty good but HOMM2 blows its art style out of the water. The SFX, MUSIC, GAMEPLAY, and ART STYLE are all equally amazing. HOMM3 is pretty good but the art style looks like uninspired bad claymation compared to this masterpiece.

The people that dislike Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 need to git gud. The Sonic franchise peaked at this era and took a nosedive afterwards. It's not perfect but it's a damn good game and has a well written(relatively for a sonic game) yet delightfully silly story and amazing soundtrack and art style at a level that has never been achieved in a Sonic game since.

If I could give this game a 0 and 10 at the same time I would. Why a zero? Because EA didn't give this game the love and care it needed to thrive into something so much bigger and better. Why a 10? Because this game is the pinnacle of Battlefield creativity and you need only look at the structure of the TITAN gamemode to see why. There was so much untapped potential in this game but EA left it to rot after birthing it.

FF7 and the entire series before 7 has always been one of greatness though this was the last masterpiece in the series and everything that came after slowly got watered down until we got to the current era of rehashing FF13&15 gameplay and ruining the remake by retconning the story for a generic time manipulation trope and only giving 1/10th of the game in one release. Every special detail in the original has been forgotten and lost in translation when remaking it. I could wax poetic on why it's such a great game but rather I will ask the person reading this right now one question: why haven't you played this yet?

Voice Acting: This game has one of the best written female leads that is voiced by an absolute legend in the voice acting community. David Hayter and the rest of the cast are all on point with their performances as well which adds up to an amazing overall experience that will sit with you for a long time. Story: An excellently written and even more brilliantly executed cold war era sci-fi/war opera mixed with a love letter to bond era films and a dash of supernatural elements sprinkled about. This story's conclusion will resonate and stay with you and have you questioning morality like a philosopher if you let yourself be immersed in the messages it has to say. Gameplay:Absolutely Solid, meaningful options in camouflage and tons of gadgets to work with, CQC has never been as satisfying to perform and listen to later in the series as it is in this game which is a damn shame. Boss design makes for really great fun as you piece together methods and tricks that work against them. SFX: Almost everything sounds the way you would expect it to and anything that doesn't sounds so satisfying that you would rather it not sound more realistic. (looking at you CQC sfx) Music: Legendary soundtrack that ranges from subtle music perfectly befitting jungle stealth, to a Jame's Bond inspired opening theme, to high octane battle music that will have you grinning and frantic.

TLDR: The story was retcon-ruined and turned into a very low quality fanfic about time travel and the power of friendship. Save your money and play the original. The combat mechanics are the worst parts of FF15 and FF13. There's needless padding and fetch quests to justify not finishing the whole game in one project so they can charge you $59.99 at least 9 more times. The critic scores are from paid shills and even many of the average youtubers were paid to give good reviews unlike TLOU2. The only good thing about the game is that it looks modern. The art direction is almost faithful to the original designs but not quite there. The voice actors are fine but the dubbed it like bad anime so fire whoever directed these fine actors to give anime grunts and gasps every 2 minutes. Eh, Guh, Wuh, Tch, Eugh, Heh, Hu! Seriously I'm not making it up. Also stop doing the modern JRPG trap of making too little dialogue and having it play WAY TOO OFTEN IN COMBAT causing the characters to yell over eachother with silly ass lines that overlap and repeat every minute. The JRPG formula used to be a goldmine but now there's a modern JRPG formula that forsakes the D&D inspirations and turns it into a **** low tier shonen anime.
