A pretty interesting game with a lot of untapped potential. You can feel Obsidian's fingerprints all over it, and it reminds you of New Vegas at every turn, but in all respects – gameplay, story, mechanics, world building – The Outer Worlds doesn't quite live up to its creators' previous works. The game is a little too empty for such great potential in terms of building the story and environment of each location. A big plus is the multitude of dialogue options and interactions between the player and companions, as well as the environment and NPCs. Unfortunately, a big minus is the combat system, which is not satisfying at all.
A terrible remake. Sherlock has been completely stripped of his most characteristic elements, simplified and reduced to a short performance for idiots. The story has been changed in many key moments compared to the original in a way that simplifies it in a manner offensive to the viewer. There is no examination of clues, the deduction is ridiculously easy, and the animations were much better in the Sherlock games from 10 years ago. A waste of money and time.Translated with **** (free version)
Unfortunately, it's worse than the previous instalment. First of all, there are optimisation issues – maintaining a consistent frame rate is quite problematic, and AA works very poorly. The gameplay is slightly worse than in the first part, especially in terms of the swarms of enemies that immediately attack you, often leaving you with no choice but to fight hand-to-hand – in the previous parts, the variety of enemies and ways to approach them was much greater. The story was very interesting, but it would have benefited greatly from more discoverables with information about the plot, characters, locations, factions, etc. Unfortunately, these details are locked behind a stupid point grinding system in co-op mode, which I think is a moronic move because you are forced to senselessly murder waves of enemies just to be able to buy a piece of information about the world. Overall, nothing innovative or new, the ending is completely unsatisfying, as if they cut it off halfway through in anticipation of the next game. The first Space Marine was better.
I don't understand the hype surrounding this game or its high ratings and critical acclaim at all. This game is just a typical indie production, unpolished, technically quite simple, with a boring world that is rather straightforward and completely ill-conceived. The entire gameplay boils down to running along a single path and fighting the same opponents – a maximum of three at a time – for 15 minutes each fight. There are zero decisions to make except for literally one at the end of the entire game, zero actual dialogue, poorly synchronised lip-syncing, frame rate drops, a very sloppy character development system, lots of inventory filler in the form of pictos, no collectibles, and no side narrative to develop the plot or describe the world. They didn't even bother to do the voice acting for outside of cutscenes NPCs. This is a very mediocre game that becomes boring after a few hours of play and is more of a chore than fun. I had to force myself to finish it. The only good thing about it is Monoco and music.
Terrible mess in terms of controls, combat mechanics, stealth and interaction with the environment. The plot is rather shallow and uninteresting, and the number of collectibles is annoying. The only positives are very good parkour and beautifully portrayed Paris and its monuments.
Brilliant little DLC. Way better than the main game. The overhauled parkour really does the work. Story telling and history notes are also superb and better. I hope to see more main strory ACs like this.
Significantly worse than the first installment. Most of the exploration elements have been cut back or simplified – notes about historical sites and interesting places in NYC have been completely removed, even though buidlings are very nicely reproduced in the city. I also didn't like the division between the two characters – I felt like I wasn't really playing as either of them and was just a guest in their story, which was a weak effect. The story is not very engaging, rather shallow – it requires a very detailed memory of the events from the first part and from the Miles Morales part (which I haven't played), which makes it harder to absorb the story. The biggest downside is the incredible amount of woke elements – it's downright staggering. The narrative of the story is also conducted in this tone, where everyone is nice to each other and politically correct to the extreme. A huge downgrade from the first game.
A brilliant game that provides a lot of fun exploring and admiring the views. The first-person view is ultimately very immersive, and the design and craftsmanship of the locations benefit from the fact that we can admire them up close – the Vatican in particular is beautifully executed. I recommend it wholeheartedly – I haven't played the previous games in the Indiana Jones series.
A great continuation of the series, which expands on the elements from the previous instalment. The action is more fast-paced and seems more elaborate. The collectibles are much more interesting but are still hidden in a rather frustrating way. One of the weaker elements is the whole motive of breaking codes and returning to already completed locations - it was tedious and unnecessary. The ending also left much to be desired - as a foundation for the sequel, it was completely anticlimactic.
A very successful remake. I finally had the chance to play this highly acclaimed game, and I must admit that now I understand why everyone was so enthusiastic about the first Mafia game. It is now clear that the second and third titles deviated significantly from the quality and complexity of the story in the first game. The only downside is the 15 minutes of end credits, which cannot be skipped.
I played Oblivion as a kid, but I don't remember much about it. I didn't finish it back then because my PC couldn't handle the game well enough to run it smoothly. At the time, I was very impressed: the mechanics, graphics, story, etc. Playing the remaster today, I see that it was the delight of a naive child - Oblivion is a very average game with boring repetitive quests, a huge but empty world, no character building whatsoever, and virtually non-existent dialogue and choices. Playing Skyrim, you can see how much progress Bethesda has made in subsequent games. Unfortunately, the enthusiasm for Oblivion seems to stem solely from sentimentality.
London is designed beautifully, you feel like you are actually in a great, vibrant city from the Victorian era. And that's it, the plot is practically non-existent, the characters are boring and flat, the combat frustrating - massively wasted potential. You can play the game just to run around the city and that's it.
An absolutely brilliant game, it refines and expands on all aspects from the prequel. Beautiful visuals with breathtaking scenery and location designs, while trying to maintain medieval realism. Atmosphere, story, turning points and length just perfect - a must-have title for fans **** story and a light thrill.
The game is filled with atmosphere and a very well-built climate. The visuals are equally beautiful, making you want to explore more of this world. A beautiful, if a little too short adventure. Unfortunately, the great experience of almost the entire game is drastically spoiled by the last chapter of the game and the absurdly bizarrely frustrating mechanics of the “wagon-pushing part” and the final battle with the main antagonist - throughout the entire game I had no problem passing any part and never once died, not even in boss fights, until these two parts, which are completely ill-conceived in terms of gameplay optimization. For spoiling such a nice experience the very end of the game: 7/10.
It's a huge game with tons of content, deciosns to make and dialogue to isten to. However, as a newcomer to the DnD genre and the Baldur's Gete universe I've found it diffficult to ajust to all the mechanics and the story itself. It felt kind of empty - like there's a ton of content but most of it is meanigless and shallow - the only arcs I enjoyed were Astarion and Karlach. The main story, the rest of the sidequests and other companions are shallow and boring. I don't recommend playing thisgame unless you have some DnD or BG experiance you won't get hooked otherwise.
Overall superb graphics and smooth and innovative mechanics wiht interesting characters brought down by a chaotic and annoying gameplay and story. Hideo Kojima makes sure that his name is everywhere in this game and it tries to be as "ground breaking" as possible but in the end it's just a walking simulator with occasional stealth/combat when avoiding monsters/human enemies. It drags near the end and is more annoying than fun. Also, forcing players to sit through the the entire endcredits TWICE in a 1h span near the end missions is such a **** move.
I'd recommend to play it once and doing only main missions, as sidequests bring absolutely nothing new to the table.
A really good and fun experience. Well constructed story, funny dialogues, a lot of action and absolutely beatiful locations and art style. Overall a really good game - I had tons of fun with it.
The only little downside is the abundace of sideline dialogue - I'd really like to listen to all of it but sometimes there's too much and it gets cut or bugged.
Pretty good game with immersive story and location design. I enjoyed a sort of Portal-like feeling of a huge complex that you explore and uncover it's hidden secrets. The whole premise is spiced up by the 1960s motive and real-life videos of dr Darling. This game is a complete experience and does not pretend to be something else I had plenty of fun. Plus the environment destruction mechanics are superb!
The DLCs did drag out a bit though and I couldn't bring myself to finish them after such an engaging main story.
It's a peculiar game for people with certain taste it's not for everyone - not in a snobby way but more esthetic and gameplay wise - it's a dialoge narrative based game with little more than reading and listening to npcs. You get an illusion of being able to make a change in the world but in the end it's just the same result with differt paths to it - it has a low replayability ratio since you won't see anything new trying a new approach or different dialogue options. Overall a good story with a boring gameplay.
The music and Baghdad are amazing, absolutely superb done. You can feel thec city and the atmosphere, it's esthetic is pleasing and it feels a little like a comeback to AC1.
But that's about it. The story is boring, characters are bland (except for Basim), there is no mystery and you don't care for it. It gets repetable quickly. I wish there was more to do in Baghdad it's a really interesting setting. Play it only for the esthetics and music of the arab world.
They've butchered Captain Price as a chcaracter, the story is boring as ****, it feels washed and recooked, absolutely disguting thing they did to the campaign.
It's pretty good for a CoD game, immersive story telling, actual choices to make, captivating characters and a great feeling of the 80s. There are some silly story curves (like slaughtering the entire Lubianka in the center of Moscow) but it also brings back old friends from previous installments.
The DLC is suprisingly long and delivers an interesting story set in the Banuk regions. New weapons and armour, new collectibles, interesting side quests.
The combat is stil boring and repetetive like in the main game, they added towers that you can bring down but they provide absolutely no reward for doing so.
The ending, just like in the main game, feels empty and underdelivers. I wouldn't have bought it as a standalone DLC.
Pros:
The graphics are superb, the esthetics are beatiful, especially the landscapes. The only downside for me is no option to forward time since the game is much better looking in daytime. The story is interesting and engaging, great dialog and cutscene animations.
Character design and voice acting is also great, I belived in the presented world and it's lore.
Stripping machines of thier armour and bringing huge enemies down is quite satysfying.
Collectibles are quite interesting and I felt motivated to look for them (you can buy a map that marks thier general location on your map which I find neat).
Doing side quests is acknowledged in the main story line, which adds to the realism of the world. Cons:
The game itself basically revolves around farming ingredients to create more ammo and add stat boosts to your weapons and armour, which in my opinion gets boring really quickly. Your inventory gets filled with these boosts and ingredients fast and you have to frequently sell them off to vendors. After a time you get to know all types of machines and fighting them feels like a chore and an uwatned obstacle to progress the story. The machines turn from an interesting concept of enemies into an irritating and boring filler pretty quickly.
There are basically no other quests than killing machines and humans, there are no other mechanics than shooting 4 types of weapons and killing enemies that annoy you rather than beeing an interesting challenge.
There is only one type of puzzle to open locked doors and it's really simple.
There is an illusion of decision making - you can select 3 different responses sometimes in dialogue but it makes no difference to the story or the quests.
The ending feels empty and underdelivers - it cuts quickly and leaves you in the world like after any other side quest.
Overall it's a little boring and in time it gets to be more a chore rather than a fun time. Graphics are amazing and some of the views are really breathtaking, especially with good lighting. The gameplay however is repeatable and the story is not so engaging. After a time it gets boring and predictable. A huge minus is a complete lack of logic when it comes to in-game morality - you can choose to learn unforgivable curses but if you choose not to your character will be much weaker. You can cast Avada Kedavra as much as you like and it is really powerful, but the game does not punish you in any way for using those curses, there's no morality system of any kind. The NPCs also do not response to you being esentially a dark wizard. This translates to a fact that you are a teenage student and yet you slaughter your enemies by the hundreds - literally killing them, not stunning or putting to sleep - you murder them, a teenage studnet at Hogwarts... and the game does not acknowledge it in any way - it is a huge immersion breaker. Another big downside is how NPCs approach you as a player - everyone is so nice to you and polite, it feels more like a children's fairy tale rather than a beliveble world. Paired togather with the whole curses system and killing mentioned above, it makes for a chaotic mixture of an unbelievable world. A big plus is satisfying animation when it comes to collectables and beasts. But it gets repeatable after w while. The ending is incredibly boring and predictable as it leaves you wiht a complete lack of satistaftion. In the end I would not return to this game as it is to big and gets boring after a while. Plus there are no real choices to be made so you would not see anything new with a second playthrough.
Absolutely smasging game, great attention to detail on every step. The story is superb and it does keep you on your toes. It would have been a 10/10 if not for a little to much of LGBT+ agenda beeing pushed that really didn't fit the story at certain points.
Great game, it really makes you feel like you're in early medevial England, a feeling a hadn't had for a while in AC. Gets a little repetetive futher in the game but it dosn't ruin it. One thing it misses is a definite ending, like a cutscene or a good ending delivery but in all a very interesting story and captivating characters, the lack of a proper ending does make you feel like you are in a living world and your story continous, which I guess was the intent, but still it felt a little hollow.
Good game with a lot of content, huge world and many quests to do. One thing that was missing and took out a lot of fun was a complete lack of satisfaction after completing main quests and a feeling o complete lack of impact on the world.
