The original Silent Hill 2 is a timeless masterpiece, this remake is a soulless cashgrab made by incompetent morons. The tension and scare factors have been completely **** out of the game and replaced by **** jump scares and never-ending fight sequences (with an half-assed Souls-like system, against an incredible variety of THREE enemies). Even if it was its own thing I'd give it a 5 at best, it's a very repetitive, mediocre over-the-shoulder action-horror game, that has 0 reason to exist, even for today's standards the original is a far superior game.

Could have been a great game, I was hyped by the fist trailer with Grace and having Alyssa from Outbreak, unfortunately Capcom chose the lazy route and went full nostalgia bait with very few substance. The nostalgia part isn't even that well executed and the story is some nonsense straight out of RE6. It's like they didn't trust their original vision and decided midway through development to shoehorn some bs to have Leon and Raccoon City back. Grace's section are undercooked, Leon's sections feels like lethargic RE4r (there's even a **** version of Krauser's first knife fight). The game is somehow less than the sum of its part, over it doesn't even felt like a triple A to me, there was more content and better quality in Revelations 2 which was only 40 bucks. Between the lack of innovation and awful story, Requiem leaves the franchises in a pitiful state.

Even though it's weird to have a Silent Hill game that has nothing to do with Silent Hill (the town), I wasn't against a change in scenery, I just wanted a decent Silent Hill inspired game. Problem is, this is not what this game is, there's no tension, boring environments, a weird upgrade system and one of the worst souls-like combat I've ever experienced, it's so clunky and tedious, even when mastered it's not fun to play. The story is stupid af, characters are... Idk, they exist I guess. But the worst is, to get the real ending you need to finish the game 3 or 4 times, which is quite a daunting task considering how bad the gameplay is and the fact that every playthrough is exactly the same except for one boss or two. If it was a first game from an indie dev and not named Silent Hill, I would probably give it a 3 or a 4. But fk Konami and Neobard and whoever wrote that story, this is a disgrace, easily the worst Silent Hill game released. I don't know how it even got nominated to any awards, just shows that they're just popularity contest/Paid advertising.

The game was awful at launch and I gave it a well deserved 0 for the insane amount of game breaking bugs and awful pricing. Hopefully it wasn't abandoned and after patch 1.04 everything in the main game seems stable, no issues with citizens, trains are working great. Kinda my bad for preordering it, I played the original game for 150 hours without ever realising it was a Paradox game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Must be an out of season April's fool joke and the real game is going to be released soon. I don't know what they were doing the last few years because this is absolute amateur work. First, the UI is just woeful, straight out of a (poorly designed) mobile app, tedious navigation, bad presentation, lot of empty space, bugs everywhere. Really it's one of the most sloppy UI I've ever seen (and I'm a developer, I've seen some **** lol). Then the new match engine that Sports Interactive advertised so much, but, we just went from PS1 graphics to PS2... was it really worth a 2 years dev cycle and the loss of so many content and QOL options ? (of course not). Out of possession formation are nice but, like most other additions of this FM I don't see how the engine switch was needed. My biggest criticisms of FM24 were the absurd player interactions and garbage AI team building, and guess what ? It's even worse in FM26, this is just FM24 with way worse immersion, and I'm not going to waste more time, fk this game. Barely any improvement from FM18 to FM24 and now we go back 20 years with this bag of **** that somehow still costs 60 bucks. It's a scam and I hope Sports Interactive goes bankrupt, I'll pay for a fking FIFA game before I buy another one from them.

While the survival building aspect is fun (but grindy as fk), the other half of the game, the combat is absolute ****, you have 2 weapon skills, 2 spells that you get to chose, one dodge, one ultimate and that's it... was this design to be played on a fking snes controller ? The dodge is on an 8 seconds cooldown, and you can equip a barrier spells that's also on an 8 seconds cooldown, while enemies, especially bosses, spam their skills like they're playing with all cheats on, and are bullet sponges. The result is that every fking fight is basically just a stat check and extremely repetitive. I loved the concept and really tried my best to like the game but there's just too many terrible game design decisions, I don't get how it got so popular while you have games like Riftbreaker and literally a dozen of Arpg released each year that are better than this.

It should be way better, there's been no significant improvement for the last 5 years, at least. Players interactions (managing morale, touchline shoots, promise system,...) are absolute rubbish and there's no excuse for that after so many years, it should have been completely overhauled, just like international management (which player interaction is a big part of in real life, well in Fm there is none ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ). They also said they improved AI, but the game is even easier than it was last year, to the point it's almost pointless delving into team tactics. And by what I've seen of its development it seems like FM25 won't be a slight update of FM24 but will send us 2 decades backwards, time to look for alternatives to FM.

It feels like the devs don't understand what makes CK2 a great sandbox roleplay game. The events are repetitive, most civs play the same, the balance is absolutely broken (in particular, the way the activities' costs scale is one of the dumbest idea I've seen in a video game and makes any attempt at roleplaying a doom to your whole economy), no strategy in war: enemy ai armies are just lost and confused, just like Paradox' devs. So, RPG elements are repetitive and overall way inferiors to CK2, most game mechanics are either broken or just unfun, 5 years and 150€ of dlc for this result...

While the core gameplay is extremely fun, the game is plagued by sever (and ever growing with each new patch) performances issues. While I can still play with 60 fps (half of what I had a year ago) my friends can't and gave up on the game. Unfortunately the devs seems more eager to release new content and adding to the never ending list of bugs and broken mechanics (like the stun weapons that don't work as intended because of bugs that have been present since the game's release), than fixing their game and making it enjoyable for everyone, which is not very democratic. No matter how fun the gameplay loop is, undemocratic behaviour deserve a 0.

To make it short and simple, if i could only play one game for the rest of my life it would be this one (with a few mods).

Goddamn this game has one of the most addictive gameplay loop i've ever seen ! i came for the insane tower defense action and i stayed for the immersive campaign, this is some of the most fun i've had playing videogame in a while. I've seen the comparisons to Factorio or they are billions, but to an old gamer like me, this feels like the Starcraft map i dreamed of over 20 years ago :D Though there's a lack of endgame content and the game needs some balancing and qol update, but it's still a good 30-40 hours and if the devs stick to their roadmap i have no doubt that i'll come back to this review in a few months to give it a 10.

Exactly the same as FM2020 except for some changes that are either useless (the new interview ui but always with the same 20 fking questions that already were in fm20, or the xgoal that's completely inacurrate) or plain stupid (like representing physical condition with a pointless heart that has 4 conditions instead of a percentage that's precise and actually helpful to decide player rotation). The game also seem to be even easier than last year, on my second season i somehow was fighting for first place with my **** club that just got promoted, without using any broken gegenpress tactic). Fix your goddamn game before implementing cosmetic changes that no one asked for !!! FM is now as much a scam as fifa, madden, etc... well done sports interactive.

I was actually skeptical when i saw the first pictures and i was so damn wrong, this game is just amazing. Sure it has all the flaws inherent to this type of game, but for a sequel to streets of rage it's just amazing... The graphics, animation, musics are perfect, i want to give it a 10 honestly but i'm trying to restrain my nostalgia.

The world feels so small, all sense of exploration and awe is gone, replaced by boring land exploration and a story so bland even netflix wouldn't want to make a movie of it (and let's not talk about the dialogues, how i miss having a silent protagonist), also lot of bugs and no official vr support for some reason. So that leave us with prettier graphics and alien penguins, two years of feedback for this... yeah I'll never buy a game in early access again, even if it's a sequel to one of my favorite games.

I never thought i'd spend over a hundred hours playing a water level and that i'd ask for more.

Plain and simple it's advertised as a football simulation game but it doesn't look like football and doesn't play like football. It's been 4 years with the frostbite engine and it's still the same garbage, animations are a mess, ball physics is still awful, playing vs cpu is like taking a candy from a baby, there's 0 attention to detail, players ai is as bad as it's been for the last 15 years; blockers don't know how to block, defenders don't know how to play zone, can't press, etc... well it's the same stuff every year so w/e. Franchise is absolutely insulting, then again it's been this way for 10 years or something close. Players look like **** not only do they not look like their real life counterparts but it looks like they are using only one body type, so you can barely distinguish a Db from a lineman. The worst is that they're trying to pretend it's a game as service that will improve according to users feedback.... this is just infuriating, **** OFF !!! the players have been telling what they want for over a decade and it's the same garbage every year. 10+ years and i still have to turn on my fking ps2 and play espn 2k5 if i want actual simulation football. Fk EA and fk the Nfl for giving them exclusive rights.

Decent game, unfortunately quite amateurish/limited budget and has a lot of technical issues (none of the ones i encountered were gamebreaking though), it's also not particularly hard, the gameplay is very basic (in the style of silent hill 1-3, not really a con for me) but the story is good enough, the ambiance and sound design are great and there are a lot ot interesting ideas, so for its price any silent hill or project zero fan would be foolish not to try it.

First of all i'm not a big fan of tlou, i think the first game was decent but i don't consider it a gem and i didn't care if the whole cast gets genocided or w/e in tlou part 2. Now this sequel is just one of the most boring game i ever played, the pacing is horrible, the gameplay loop consists of; looting > horde/boss fight > 1 hours of walking/talking/cutscenes, for 30 hour. It doesn't sound so bad if well executed but first both characters play exactly the same and second the writing is on par with the worse netflix production, the dialogues belong in an episode of 13 reasons why and the plot is so stupid i wonder if any mentally abled adult took part in the writing. To this add that you'll fight the same enemies over and over again in setpieces that you've already seen in better games. On the graphic side the game looks really good but doesn't run smoothly and often suffers from framerate drop (even though the game only runs at 20-30 fps and even though i played it on a ps4 pro ). Oh i forgot, almost all the environnments are grey and green and look copy/pasted except for the last part of the game (which was actually enjoyable, too bad it took 25 hours of watching paint dry to get there). Overall there could be a decent game in all this mess but it's destroyed by the pacing and bad writing, for every good idea there are 10 bad ones. Really to think that this took 5 years to make and had close to unlimited budget is embarassing, kinda reminds me of the rise of skywalker :D

This isn't a 60€ triple A game, it's a lazy, uninspired remake with reused assets everywhere, almost no replayability (it took me 70 hours to get bored of re2r, after just 10 hours i'm done with this one). The cinematic and the music are very good but that's all, it's a lazy cash grab that tastes like a budget RE 6, just shameful.
