A great sekiro-esque hack & slash, a little bit of RPG elements, etc. I have not played anything else since release. Some things kind of bug me a bit, the soundtrack is great but the majority of vocal songs don't work on a loop, and maybe the dialogue is a little bit emotionless. I am inclined to switch to Korean voiceover instead, lastly the censorship in which shift up lied about is unacceptable. Neoliberal fascists ruin everything.
steal mods, don't credit mod developers, say they removed them but left them in the final build, bugs from the original versions present, has a larger size even if there is not much new, and no servers to play on. Utter disgrace.
I honestly wish it was a whole complete game, but I do like the modernized gameplay and visuals. I still don't think I would choose this over FFVII (original), but it is an accompaniment.
Good FPS horror game, bad DOOM game. You basically play as a random space marine and not even the infamous "BJB/doomguy".
Those things alone would probably make it a bad game overall, BUT DOOM 3 does horror better than the modern revival of horror games out now. It has some really awful character lighting/models, but the demons (not the human mutants) look ok. Sign of the times I guess.
Imperial colonizer game where you invade alien planets and claim you're the good guys. You aren't. At least they got it correct that you're American/British.
Good gameplay, awful plot/storyline. Shop consists of paid items only, in which you gamble on the basis of HOPING the game as a service will be around longer than The Day Before.
Watching gameplay of this game does not do it justice, and it is a lot more fun to play. With that said, there are some rather annoying things due to "dated" shooter mechanics, and the fact that you're a robot that weighs a ton. Enemies that throw grenades and machine gun nests seem to be annoying when you're starting out too.
Bad propaganda probably made by AI, seriously... the entirety of this new trilogy storyline makes all the Western nations the bad guys and does nothing to make you care about the [legal under international law] retaliation from the Russians. What really takes the cake is this game is blatant false advertising. It is a scam, it is a rushed expansion pack with no platinum trophy, Multiplayer is... ruined by AI bots/EOMM/SBMM (with some design choices I dislike, Ghost should be the non-movement version because there is insane UAV spam, and COLD BLOODED DOESN'T WORK! Zombies is honestly the best thing in this package. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, and a whole lot of filler content to level up weapons in peace. There are a lot of bugs, that were not there in the beta... yet the game feels as if it was glued together at a children's arts and crafts event... and certainly for an AI that is only a few years old... that is probably what you should expect. The developers hate all Russians like the previous two games and have a track record of only showcasing flags of oppressive regimes, purely fascist and NOT bastions of "democracy", and with a history of human rights abuses (i.e: Israel, Ukraine, USA, Canada, United Kingdom (England), Australia, New Zealand) NATO ARE NOT THE GOOD GUYS. I cannot justify this game being $70/$120 for bad storytelling, repeating "missiles and gas" over and over again, and warzone training. There is a mission you can spawn an APC with a turret which obviously you cannot even use to the full extent of it's potential. Lastly, they have AI speech police which is incapable of understanding logic, context, and racial language cues - so what you essentially have is a fascist robot that will ban you for any little thing. Don't use game chat. Period. This is unforgivable and I would ask for a refund if I could.
Pretty low for Konami to release an incomplete compilation of Kojima's work, let alone an incomplete compilation of the franchise. Secondly, much of the games included are lower quality versions from emulators. A remaster of the HD collection would have been a better choice. People who buy this probably were struggling with demons of being mad at Konami for doing Kojima wrong, or wanting to play the games again IF you don't have a PS3 anymore, and well if that's you... I guess it's a justifiable purchase. I can't give this compilation anything higher than a 5.
Yikes. Payday 3 has no soul, and got Call of Duty-ified with pointless attachments/skills+buffs+cons, etc. which seems to be the staple of every modern videogame to date. My real gripe with the game is more or less the coop/random matchmaking stuff. The game is only fun if you have people to play with, and other times it's full of glue-eaters that ruin your experience.
Eh, propaganda story full of western war crimes, xenophobic characters being celebrated, multiplayer map scaling was good. If you knew history and have friends in the Donbass this will be offensive and enraging. The US, UK, and NATO are NOT the good guys. Period.
First and foremost, I'm not a CRPG fan and a majority of D&D lore goes over my head, but I can base my review on the content provided... and they provided lots. Additionally, I really like the cameos/easter eggs.
Todd Howard says that the characters giving you "HOLY S!" eyes is because you're poor and you need to buy a PC. Fallout 76+Mass Effect: Andromeda syndrome.
Although everyone is all about culture war, I will say this is a corporatism game first and foremost. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR THE LGBT PEOPLE THEY PREY ON!
0 at launch a year ago, 3 at relaunch now. Some of the same problems kind of still exist, story is a snoozefest, the world is mostly silent and lifeless, visual bugs where tips stay on the screen, bugs where you cant get out of the car during missions and the "new" map/activity finder is a shadow of it's former self. The 'nudity' is misogynistic because the female breasts are modeled after male pectorals on a slider. It is off-putting.
Broken, not fun to play and originality has been sacrificed to created a million Evolve/Dead by Daylight coop-multiplayer clone games. Why developers loophole the system and make the consumer beta test games, instead of indicating it is an Early Access build, I don't know but it needs to stop.
A pretty cool cyberpunk OG fps / movement shooter, a little bit conservative on when levels give you additional weapons (a la Quake I: E2M1). Enemies have weak spots, health bars, and flash when they enter a mode you can use finishers on and drop ammo/hp/armour/adrenaline (DOOM remake mechanic) which you use to enter slow motion mode. Soundtrack has songs reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell as well.
(updated 2023 review) It's not playable for me. Matchmaking is upwards of 5 minutes, multiplayer disconnects from the server and you really can't do anything of substance. Campaign was okay... I suppose. Clearly their cash cow is Apex.
Fun game, awful servers. I had two good connection matches on a new account, and the rest have lagged or dropped people. This is unacceptable for epic's server architecture.
Updated review: Multiplayer is hit and miss and entirely dependent on good connection, some latency just ruins the online experience. Additionally, the seasonal updates haven't started, and there's nothing to grind the in-game currency for... it has potential to be fun, still. But lack of updates has really hindered this game. I'm inclined to say this is in a state like Cyberpunk 2077 in 2020. Yikes. It's AEW's first major console game & YUKE's expertise comes from the N64 arcade style wrestling games, which is forgiveable that it isn't a simulator game. Controls are easy to pick up but hard to master, I had to change the running controls to L2 and do training to figure out how to play. The default controls are not the best, and I would recommend changing them. This base game is NOT perfect, and there are glaring features missing upon launch. Difficulty is not scaled correctly IMHO, a 1v1 can be beaten on elite relatively easy, but a 4v4 on easy or normal will kick your butt. There is very limited voice acting for the story, and if you're wanting depth it's not there. Road to Elite basically exists to level up your Create a Wrestler, unlock the photo postcards, and convert your rewards to the grindable currency. It's a relatively short experience, and worthy of your time atleast once a week. Most of the minigames are cool, PENTA says is probably the hardest one to master. The weapon list and the overall craziness from all the matches with no disqualification is fantastic. There are 4-5 moves in the move list that just don't work, and need to be fixed ASAP. The Create a Wrestler & Arena modes are lacking in features and NEED an online ecosystem to keep the game alive. The in-game store is lacking in content currently, but will be updated in the future. Additionally, most clothing options and hair need an overhaul in colour selection. (It probably won't happen so it's unfortunate) In closing, the real draw to this over the WWE2K series is the gameplay.
Has the worst battle pass seasonal content, UI, easily accidental currency wasting things ON PURPOSE to force retention, and filler items that take up space in your inventory. This is diablo immortal 2.0.
A classic FPS game, updated resolution, actually works on modern hardware, and comes with all the expansions, however it may be hit or miss for some people because some of the weapons are poorly designed and almost worthless. Hardest difficulty also turns enemies into bullet sponges. Be warned.
Initially I thought it would be a dry story because I don't like medieval setting games, but it deserves a 7 for a medieval anti-imperialist plot, it's pretty cool for the modern action RPG style combat system, maybe lacks in summons but that's just me. Additionally, the final boss is freaking annoying and I take away 2 points for that. (Previously a 9) I still prefer cyberpunk/futuristic Final Fantasy slightly more (ie: 7 / 13)
I am torn, they have very deep post-2012 military reform Russian factions, but leaves more to be desired, other factions are known only to use women for propaganda, but are included. French GIGN is almost a direct ripoff of Rainbow Six Siege's characters. Rook - check, Doc - check. Currency farm is sluggish because it's an F2P game.
The game is so stupid it's great, and the care to recreating pop culture scenes, such as The Matrix & storming the beach of Normandy in videogame format is pretty cool.
A unique racing game that has never really been emulated or ripped off, had girl characters to play as even at a time when male protagonists dominated all gaming (if you care about that stuff) I don't NOW, but I did then when I was a young girl with my first console.
When I was younger, I hated the 24hr end of the world time travel gimmick of the game, it was frustrating and put me off of the game. It was NOTHING like Ocarina of Time. Therefore I cannot give a good review to something that actually deterred me from playing. Secondly, I still hate the timegating to this day and feel it was too complex for an E rating.
(Back when WWF/WWE was actually good, not Vince only cares about Roman Reigns, the Roman Show, and Romanmania) Anyway, this is by far one of the best arcade wrestling games, had a pretty deep story mode, and loads of fun to be had at every corner.
It's Zelda, and maybe has some repetitiveness because of sharing things from BotW. I wouldn't exactly call it "new" - just a continuation. Truthfully, the only negative for me is that Nintendo should just make a console without gimmicks that is incredible in power. That's all everyone demands from Nintendo at this point.
World tour is a bit odd... Essentially you are a bully who can pick fights with random civilians throughout the game on your road to leveling up, it's logic is weird and I guess you're just supposed to pay no attention to the random grannies you decide to beat up. I am not a huge fan of the day one roster, but maybe after "super deluxe edition EX" it would be in a state that is acceptable for purchase. The controls are obscene in my honest opinion, I am not at all a good fighter game player anymore but removing the skillgap on purpose so people could hold a button down and do all their moves is the worst idea I have ever seen. Online is online, if you can't emulate a stable connection, or have ranked protection for DDOS/adversary rage quits, etc. - if you cannot create a fair playing field, then you deserve a fail. I hate all games with online latency for fighters. so I prefer the arcade/LAN/splitscreen competitions only. Skins locked behind annoying gatekeeper mechanics or spend money lol.
So I wasted $20 on this game (and returned it) a few months ago, but when it was available for PS+ I decided to give it another try. This latest update has put it in a passable state and it is much better now. With that said, I don't think it does enough to make you WANT to play it because I haven't played it in two months..., the plot is nonsensical and was clearly abandoned while they tried to save the game from it's demise. Nopats (non patriated forces) were supposed to make this game essentially a PMC warzone, with the inclusion of "hero-shooter mechanics" a la Overwatch, but was pigeonholed into factions of US v RU which is the antithesis of the entire game. This design choice was done deliberately to sell battlepasses and cosmetics, and it did not work. Lastly, Battlefield 2042 should have launched in a finished state, not early access. And that is a trend that will continue if you support EA and DICE in the future. This franchise is irreparably damaged and should be avoided.
A faithful recreation with some minor tweaks to make weapons actually look like they're supposed to. Some quality of life features, and others (& omissions) that were clearly design choices to keep the game tough as nails. Like it's predecessors it contains complexities that will make you confused if you are not paying attention. Night Dive did not dumb down the gameplay to appease people who expect the game to play itself, and with that said... System Shock might NOT be for you. You will need to be the judge of that.
Short standalone DLC game, very very broken and crashes a lot. I would not recommend a purchase unless it is on a very generous sale. Now if you do like Serious Sam 4, this is additional content that fleshes out the story.
A great game, there actually is an online ecosystem and I have played a bunch with other people (unlike similar beat em up games), the inclusion of leveling up your characters, challenges, and collectibles is a great idea, and if you're incredibly bad at these games then easy mode is doable. It includes an arcade version and multiple visual filters if you want a more retro feel.
Good remake of a bad game plotwise, I have always hated the plot of 4, and it's no different here. The later chapters (tbh Chapter two onwards) play like Resident Evil 6 and that game was widely panned because it was not what anyone wanted... therefore if the game has regressed in gameplay to one of the worst games in the franchise... is it really "new" or "good"? The inclusion of Mercenaries gives more replayability than the other two remakes before it.
A modernized take on Bioshock that descends into madness and has wacky weapons like the majority of arena shooters, Bioshock & Borderlands. Don't expect Mundfish+Focus to reinvent the wheel when it comes to gameplay, this is artistic vision only.
A fantastic remaster, although it was directly ported from the PC release. The menus are incredibly clunky as a result, and unfortunately the multiplayer is dead on PS5. Luckily, there are no trophies tied to multiplayer.
Good classic game for the fans of the N64 version, but unfortunately a subpar remaster. There are graphical seams and missing textures throughout, and the differences between the N64 and the resmastered versions might not be worthy of repurchasing the game unless you like easy platinum trophies, or are a diehard fan of the franchise.
Perfection and incredible care taken to realize J.K. Rowling's vision. With that said, people will nitpick the game's "lack of combat diversity" because it's mostly ranged attacks because you are a witch/wizard. Additionally, the character customization is fantastic but the voice options really only consist of male/female and the pitch shifting is not necessary because then you sound like a robot. They should have hired additional voice actors to act the script so you would have options to choose a voice that suits you.
