A masterpiece in style, design and gameplay. Incredible attention to cute little details. This is truly a next gen game, not because of texture resolution or whatever, but because of the gameplay.

An incredible masterpiece that came out of nowhere and the best JRPG I have played in decades. On par with FFVII.

An incredible masterpiece. It is mind blowing how much high quality content there is in the game throughout. Almost all aspects of the game are clear 10/10s: Story 10/10 Lore 10/10 Writing 10/10 Characters 10/10 Combat 10/10 Main quests 10/10 Side quests 10/10 Hunting quests 10/10 Music 10/10 Sound effects 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Voice acting in german 10/10 World design 10/10 Graphical fidelity 10/10 Progression and pacing 10/10

The game is well designed graphically. The world is large and stunning to look at. The massive scope really comes across nicely. Effects are well done and the monsters are really well designed, especially the bosses. The visuals are the main positive aspect of the game, although it is a little blurry and not crystal clear, especially in the distance. The music is beautiful, maybe a bit repetitive if you stay in one spot for some time. The characters you meet are quite interesting, but you never really learn that much about them. The banter between the group members and the dialogue is pretty well done and funny. Sadly the game has some weaknesses, many little things especially that seem not to be very well fleshed out. The story is not great and progresses painfully slowly. It seems to be unintelligent and just fantasy elements randomly put together. And for even the slightest story progression you have to do a dungeon, or are somehow diverted to do chores first. The pacing is very odd. The story seems more like a short story that was put together very quickly, not like some epic journey like the older final fantasy titles. Story and quest direction are fairly poor. The sidequests seem to be the worst type of fetch quests without backstory. These type of quests would be unaceptable in mmos today, and even more unaceptable in a single player RPG. The car system is really weird, you cannot even drive properly and navigating through the menu to move your car around is just annoying. A simple quicktravel system would have been better. The professions are super weird and dont seem to be intriguing or useful for me. The magic system is boring, uninspiring and just again weird. There really does not seem to be an obvious reason to explore the huge and beautiful world. Overall it is a bizarre exotic game with a stunningly huge and beautiful world but many design weaknesses in the detail. If you like the older final fantasy games you will not necessarily like this one.

A very promising start to season 3 of the walking dead. Graphic detail has improved quite a lot and the game looks beautiful, although there are quite some performance issues and glitches. The characters seem quite interesting and believable. Maybe not as strong as in season one or the 400days characters, but good nevertheless. The first two episodes are well put together with nice pacing of the story. There are never any boring moments.

A rich and detailed open world RPG, that doesnt quite capture me with the same strenght as Skyrim did. I love the amount of detail that went into objects and the environments. there are a lot of items that are clearly identifiable just by looking at them, since they are so detailed. Crafting and item hunting is fairly well done, although it would have been much more enjoyable without such a hash item weight limitation. At the beginning there are really not many interesting questchains. None of the factions seemed that interesting or intriguing to me at first. It does get better the more you progress. The new graphics patch has improved the visuals significantly, the environments look very good. Voice acting is sometimes not that good in german, but good in english. Many animations and coversation cutscenes are fairly wooden and not really believable. The writing sometimes doesnt seem to be very smart. The pip boy interface is a bloody nightmare. Locating a specific item is fairly hard and often not the entire name of an item is displayed. Navigating is not intuitive. The music is quite good, some City tunes are really beautiful. Overall the game felt a bit like a drag in the beginning, mainly due to the fairly lackluster, generic quests. However, this seems to be a game that gets better the longer you play. After a while the bizzarre world really captivates you quite nicely and the story picks up pace after a while

Bravo, this has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere if the game is so incredibly well done and peaceful, thanks to the soft, colorful graphics, amazing characters and fantastic music. The characters and the environment are done very realistic with a lot of attention to detail. Especially the animations are outstanding and believable. You feel like you are really there. The school setting was so well done that I had nostalgia from my school days a while back. All the characters are unique and in their own way likeable. Just slowly playing the game while exploring the world is very relaxing end enjoyable. The game never really felt like work or bothersome. I went through all episodes in a few days without playing anything else. I love that the environment and situations you know from real life, but rarely experience in a game. After playing the game through it is very enjoyable to watch other playthroughs on youtube and see their reactions. I am really looking forward to a sequel.

The game seems to have very good writing, voice acting. Story progression is interesting. However, there seems to be a lot of repetition in the world design, many buildings and structures are obviously reused with very little difference. This makes wandering around and exploring far less interesting than it sould be for an rpg. Everything looks a bit the same, which makes the game get boring too quickly, especially since the areas are massive. Item collection is tedious and you always run out of bag space which is annoying. Combat is ok.

I really disliked destiny at the beginning, mostly due to the lackluster campaign and missions, but it seems the game has come a long way and I really enjoy it now. The graphics are stunning as always and the gameplay is superb. The game has become fairly beefy and there is a lot to do, which is exactly what destiny needed. Even the destiny app is really well done. The gear design was always very good, but now there is a rich variety of very high quality weapon and armor design, which makes the loot hunt much more exiting. It is geat that you can now collect items and store them in an "album". The events are pretty engaging and the new campaign is decent. While I did not like the lack of story and lore explanations at the beginning, I have started to like the mysterious feeling of the game and its world. The lore texts are mostly poor, but there are some great lines. I am excited to see how the game develops into the future.

I am still fairly at the beginning of the game, but it is truly fantastic. It feels like it is perfect made for console. Interface and item/party management is a bliss, super fast and intuitive. The writing is superb and the characters are really interesting and have unique personalities. Graphics are beautiful and combat is challenging and diverese, with a lot of strategic possibilities. It has very beautiful music tunes. I am looking forward to play the game through. The only bad aspect for me is the voice acting of the texts. It find the voiceover quite bad and I prefer playing the game without voice. Which is a shame because the environmental voice pieces are really good. But overall it is a fantastic, rich and masterfully crafted RPG

Sadly, this game has a bit of a mediocre vibe to it. I did not finish the game as it was not that intriguing anymore after a point. The story is a bit odd with its religious theme and characters. Most of the characters just did not feel interesting to me so that I would have wanted to know more about them. Only Cassandra and Varic felt unique and interesting to me, the rest quite forgettable. Of the german voice acting, only the main characters were well done, the rest of it was not so good. The graphics are very pretty, however, the desert areas did not feel authentic to me. Some pieces of lore you find are quite good. Others were quite bland and trivial and did not add much to the lore. I thought Dragon age 1 had overall better richer writing in its codex pieces as I remember. Exploration is very enjoyable, the areas feel rich and it was a joy to wander through them and explore sites, although the questing was a bit dull. Overall would have wished for a game with tighter, more dramatic story with nice cutscenes and better characters

Phenomenal graphics, music, gameplay and content. This game takes you on an adventure for the senses, that you will not forget, every aspect of this game is sublime. A truly fantastic jump and run.

After the brilliant Ground Zeroes mission, this game feels a bit lame and disappointing in comparison. The story is fairly boring. After Ground Zeroes mission I hoped this game would be a dramatic political thriller with history and fiction coming together nicely. However it played like a lazy and simple C-Class action movie with no substance. This game appears like a mess. The cutscenes are very randomly put together and dont progress the story or characters well. Some are silly or outright stupid that didnt make any sense. The main missions were quite lackluster, you could not distinguish main missions from side missions(which were enjoyable), they were both equally generic and random jobs. They even begin with the same line: Boss we have a new job coming in... Quite boring progression. I always wondered if these are warmup missions and if the real story would begin later. The fighting missions are frustratingly difficult and not well balanced at all with a lot of dying. Motherbase feels a bit like a chore, I didnt even visit many parts of it as there was nothing particular going on, just one big maze. There is barely any memorable music and soundtracks in this game, unlike Ground Zeroes. And the worst aspect is that the game forces me to play through older missions again in a higher difficulty, what ultimately led me to stop playing. There are some nice aspects too however. The graphics are fantastic and the locations beautiful and believable, albrit a bit static. The stealth gameplay is very good and thrilling. The voice acting is superb and the casette tapes well done, even if they didnt manage to make the thin story better. The characters feel real, I wish we got to know them better. Sadly we only experience the surface of them with little meaningfull interaction. The atmosphere in the game is good, the open world aspect works very well and gives you a sense of freedom, but definitely at the expense of interesting content. The technical quality of the game is phenomenal. But without an interesting story, cinematic cutscenes, character developement, dialogue and memorable soundtrack apart from the title song, the soul is just missing for me in this game. Much of the joy I got from anticipation to more interesting content later in the game, which sadly never came.

Although this game is basically just one mission, it is so incredibly well done that it raised my expectations of The Phantom Pain to absurd levels. The mission, the setting, the cutscenes and the music are so mind blowingly amazing and epic that I played though it 4 times. Even the writing of the background info and its music is so superb I would just let the music run in the background. I hope that someday a company can make such a game in full lenght in this quality. Sadly The Phantom Pain is not that game.

Of course this game is absolutely impressive in terms of production value and setting. The city is incredibly well done and rich in detail. The game feels massive. I did not like the way the story was made, it feels like it is unspoilable, wih nothig significant happening, no twists, dramatic turn of events of any surprises or suspension. Its more like 3 friends doing random jobs and adventures in a city, with no visible direction. Not my kind of thing. I will probaby not remember the game for long. In its soul the game is a 8, but its impressive production gives it a 9.

One of the most immersive and captivating experiences in any story focused medium. Fantastic story, characters, setting and music. As captivating as the game of thrones books.

This is how you do a campaign in a shooter game. It was a thrilling and dramatic experience of battle, companionship and loss. Also I was never sure how the story would unfold, if they would succeed in battle or not, which kept me very engaged. This was, apart from Half-Life 2 the best shooter campaign I every played. Also the music and graphics were stellar. Giving this game a 10 would not be wrong, but a 9 is fine also.

Of course this is one of "those games", but this one is quite well made. Springfield seems very authentic, I like the graphics stlye, detailed and with clear lines. Your city feels pretty to look at, the animation of caracters is well made and funny. Progression is interesting with good and humourous writing. There is quite some content with a lot of buildings to choose (buy) from. I have spent more money on this game than is socially accepable, but it really is a nice companion at your daily working life in the office on your smartphone.

A very charmig and well designed little game with pretty graphics and fantastic music. Gameplay and combat feels smooth. I never felt bored, I enjoyed every second.

A masterpiece in every regard. The most engrossing game I have ever played up until now. Years have passed and Skyrim is still the pinnacle of a video game world.

This game is the biggest disappointment that I can remember, I cannot believe spending 89.- on something like this, enough that I will never buy a game from Activision or Bungie on day 1 without checking review scores first. The campaign was a forgettable, boring experience. There is no story, no caracters and no lore. You just shoot random aliens, protect your ghost for a few minutes while shooting aliens, then the next mission begins with the same thing. The fighting itself was enjoyable, but it felt pointless, like a very polished browser game with no meat to the bone. There is no charm to this game and it felt like not even the developers gave love to this game, judged on how this game feels. I like the idea of a mmo shooter with loot to collect and progression, and this part of the game works quite well, but the abysmal campaign really destroys it for me. If the campaign was something completely different, it could have been a very good game. Now its just one forgettable shooter more.

Up until now I have liked every Bioware game and some of them are my all time favorites. This game however, is a gigantic disappointment. I played a Jedi sage to level 30 when I stopped as every second spent felt like a waste of time. I expected a game with a good story and rich lore in a vivid star wars world. Sadly, I found nothing of it. In my opinion, Jedi sage until level 30 has no story. The quests consist of: disable an array there, hack a terminal there, loot quest items from dead bodies etc. The quests do not feel connected to each other or embedded in a story, everything feels very random and pointless. There are no memorable characters throughout the journey and the companions are annoyingly flat placeholders with no story. I expected living, breathing city worlds full of life. They are nothing more than tunnels filled with lifeless mobs. I expected varied crafting professions that let you explore the world. They are nothing more than a "click and wait" game. I would have liked to see flashpoints connected to the planets you travel through, but they are just random missions on the fleet. A starwars game should be filled with passion, but this game is passionless. The dialogue and codex writing is very mediocre and not anywhere near the quality of Mass Effect or Dragon Age. Its possible that things look different with other classes, but from a jedi sage perspective, this is a poor game. The only things I liked are the music and the voice-actors, which are both brilliant. The rest is forgettable.

I have mixed feelings for this game. The best thing about HR is the atmosphere. The world feels vivd and I was fully immersed very quickly. Graphical design is very good and the music is fantastic. The german voice acting is phenomenal. The game feels very polished and the production values are really impressive. The characters feel very intreresting from the moment you see them, but unfortunately many dont really develop thoughout the game. You get to know them only on the surface. Some immediately seem very interesting but are only statists after all. This feels unsatisfying and I would have liked to know more about them. Also, I didnt like the story so much. Although the setting is fascinating, the embedded story feels thin and the pacing is awkward. It doesnt do justice to the great atmotphere of the game. I would have liked more different quests to connect more to the world. And while the cities are incredibly well done and rich in detail. The other areas feel a bit bland and monotonous in comparison. I would rate this game between 8 and 9.
