Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an RPG masterpiece where I’ve spent over 100 hours. Gifted to me in February, this game completely changed my perspective on what makes a truly great game. Every element: mechanics, story, quests, and world design, is crafted to **** world feels alive, especially during the early game when you’re learning its systems. For example, something as simple as robbing a house at night turns into a multi-layered experience with countless approaches: drink potions to enhance your skills, pick locks, steal keys, or take a more violent path – all with consequences that ripple through the game world. This depth of choice extends to both gameplay and story, offering unparalleled freedom.From its music and animations to combat and storytelling, every aspect is a breath of fresh air. It immerses you in 1400s Bohemia, presenting a beautifully crafted world that is both stunning and historically rich. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a true gem of the RPG genre that evokes awe, joy, and endless surprises.

Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece re-release of the iconic game from Rockstar Games. Despite the lack of significant graphical improvements, the game is gripping with its deep story, elaborate world and attention to detail. A great soundtrack, especially in the Mexican part of the game, complements the atmospheric narrative of John Marston's fate. The mechanics, many of which formed the basis for RDR2, remain relevant today. Although the game is built on old assets, it is still able to fully immerse the player in the world of the Wild West.

The final part of Nathan Drake's adventure, which is now available on Playstation 5 in the form of a Bandle, which is being given away with a Playstation Plus subscription. To make a long story short, I highly recommend you to try this project to everyone who hasn't had a chance to try a Naughty Dog game yet: you'll enjoy the graphics (especially on Playstation 5 - it's just WOW), the world content, the music, the physics, the animations and much more. But most importantly, you will get the most interesting story, which will take you for 20-30 hours of play, which in today's realities - a great opportunity.Another plus for this bundle is the presence of an add-on, which also goes straight to the story of Nathan Drake! In short, if you have a Playstation Plus subscription and the opportunity to play this project for free - then welcome!However, if you do not have the opportunity to use Playstation subscription, then Sony's pricing policy for many projects - you will be surprised and disappointed, to put it mildly. It is clear that Naughty Dog itself is not guilty here, as the platformer Sony is responsible for this, but because of this approach, many players still have an extremely negative reaction.

Ember Lab’s 2021 release, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, is impressive for a studio new to large-scale games. The visuals are gorgeous and have a charming, cartoonish vibe that instantly drew me in. The soundtrack also shines, adding to a calm, immersive atmosphere. Plus, the adorable Rot creatures were a constant source of **** the downside, the story didn’t really hook me, and the combat felt basic—ranged attacks worked best, while melee was clunky. The world looks open but is mostly linear, and I noticed some animation quirks and bugs. Still, with a short playtime (around 10 hours), Kena is an enjoyable experience overall. Despite its flaws, it’s definitely worth checking out for its art style and laid-back exploration.

Free game. Completely free! And in total it took me about 3-4 hours, which is a fairly digestible result for such a game, but after completing a full-fledged game about Astro, I still noticed some disadvantages and shortcomings of this project:Physics (and this applies to everything);Clumpness of the impact mechanics (by clamping the square)In general, these are my main complaints about this project. At the same time, I got incredible joy from levels, meetings with Sony fan attributes, levels, interaction with the gamepad, and just from music and staying in the game. I recommend everyone to get acquainted with the Asobi Studio project, if you haven't had time to do it yet!

The game Cyberpunk 2077 seemed like an interesting project to me on one hand (I vividly remember moments when I logged into the game every day, wandering the streets of Night City, immersing myself in the life of the city, doing side quests, and following the main story). However, on the other hand, it felt dull, lacking the depth needed to keep me engaged for a long time. Therefore, the extra time I had to spend in the game felt more like wasted time—though, to be fair, this is a subjective impression of the expansion. I clearly recognize that it just didn’t captivate me: at times, I missed parts of the plot or skipped dialogues, and by the end, after the credits, nothing came together as a cohesive story for me.After 80 hours in the main game and 15 hours (or so) in the expansion, I still don’t understand who Reed really is as a person (especially his deeper thoughts), nor why characters like Songbird, Morales, and so on are essential. The expansion seemed bland and unengaging—it didn’t help me relax; instead, each extra minute in Dogtown felt more like **** only thing I’d like to highlight is my appreciation for the visual updates the developers managed to add with the latest patch. However, despite this latest patch, the game still frequently crashed on me—not just crashing, but freezing and crashing without saving, which meant I had to replay certain scenes multiple times.Overall, I don’t want to say the game is bad—far from it! It’s actually quite good. But for me, after playing other games where the developers put more effort into optimization and development from the start, Cyberpunk, with its vast world and interesting plot but rather blurry background, simply can’t compete for a spot on my list (despite the fact that I’ve spent over 75 hours in it).However, I still recommend checking it out, even if just on a surface level!

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

A truly unique project that was an utter failure at launch but has managed to transform into something more substantial and meticulous over almost two years, thanks to the studio's tremendous effort in patching and updating the **** present, I can say that right after starting the game, it immediately draws you in with its vast, I would even say, intimidating world, full of all sorts of things. Players can find various forms of entertainment everywhere. However, this seems to be just a first impression. After playing for a bit longer, I realized that while there are plenty of possible scenarios, truly engaging spontaneous events are not as abundant as one might **** city's style definitely deserves mention—Cyberpunk aesthetics with neon lights in various colors and shades, numerous advertising posters with provocative content, violence, and of course, biobots causing chaos and lawlessness. Despite this, Night City doesn't feel like a place of anarchy; on the contrary, it appears huge and dangerous but also incredibly intriguing and **** this stage, I also want to highlight the numerous dialogue windows that aren't just randomly inserted but are instead captivating. Every dialogue, even the simplest ones, is intriguing to explore and listen to. Each conversation pulls you in, making you feel each moment in the game—this is a huge plus. The game's storyline is very engaging, making you want to dive into the game more **** musical component adds special emotions. Shootouts to rock music are thrilling! Moreover, driving to a hard-hitting track also brings joy and excitement—although, of course, I'd like to see even more of this.After the version 2.0 update, the game transformed so much that I can't tear myself away from it! Main story missions and side quests play wonderfully, and finally, game modes and mechanics are fully revealed. I especially want to highlight a side quest with Pepe, which brought me great satisfaction and joy (in fact, the mission seemed more interesting and fun than some of the main story missions).I also want to point out the new skill system! Imagine me as a player who previously couldn't figure out how to level up and practically didn't spend anything from my inventory. However, thanks to the amazing new skill system, the game has opened up to me like a full-scale battlefield where you choose who you want to be: a netrunner or a machete-wielding killer?Johnny Silverhand has also undergone significant improvements. Everything about him has been enhanced—his expressions, graphics, behavior—making him your constant companion rather than just an annoying **** story, especially its ending, didn't evoke much emotion in me, but I'm sure it will resonate with other players. I'll definitely try to replay it to explore different endings, hoping for a more emotionally engaging experience. Despite my comments, the game's plot is very mature and realistically portrays life, unlike the colorful and cheerful worlds often depicted by other studios.### Cons:At this stage, I want to highlight a personal dislike—the third-person view, which I find quite challenging as a player.Despite the 2.0 patch transforming the game, occasional bugs still pop up. However, unlike before, these bugs don't ruin the gaming experience; they are minor visual glitches that don't interfere with enjoying the game to its fullest.Unfortunately, while the game looks great overall, it isn't perfect visually—it still feels somewhat artificial. Nonetheless, the 2.0 patch brought many solid changes that improved this aspect in some areas.That's all I can think of for now. Cyberpunk 2077 is definitely worth playing, if only to immerse yourself in a truly interesting and, most importantly, mature story, and to enjoy the presence of Johnny Silverhand, brilliantly portrayed by the amazing Keanu Reeves.

A lot of Sony games are cool, great or even masterpieces of the gaming industry. But The Last Of Us: Part II is not just a great game or a masterpiece - it's more than that, it's a masterpiece among masterpieces! Everyone should try the game: the best gameplay, the best mechanics, flawless graphics, the best stealth, game intelligence, music and so on (I apologise to all the developers who are not mentioned here - every area of the game is a masterpiece). The game, complementing the first part of the series raises the most complex life issues, asks its player-viewer to assess the situation objectively, does not give an unambiguous assessment of this or that moment. The motivation of a particular action is always much deeper than the than it might seem at first glance. Thank you Naughty Dog - that I was lucky enough to touch your brainchild - after 2 years and having played the game more than 5 times - I am still experiencing emotions of different spectrums from the passage and reasoning over the plot twists! Thank you for creating an ideal that set the bar in the gaming industry for years to come! If we evaluate the direct Remaster of the game - then certainly the changes themselves are not so much - the new mode that was added has no storyline and can be completed in a couple of evenings, but it is at the same time ready to give me the joy of returning to the gameplay of this historical game! Thank you

The second game of the company, which I managed to play and to put it mildly it broke me! A relentlessly awesome project, grandiosely recreated for the Playstation 5 architecture, capable of giving each player a completely different spectrum of emotions - from hate (and quite strong - I would rate it 9 out of 10 points) to love the game. Unfortunately, my strength was enough for only 1 full-fledged playthrough, which took me about 40 hours - and I clearly realize that true fans of the series have replayed this project several dozens of times, but for me it was a pristine exploration and journey - I say a huge thank you to the developers for the opportunity to touch it and move on.However, of course like any project in principle Demon's Souls has a number of advantages and disadvantages, I'll consider a few of the main ones and I'll probably start with the negative aspects of the series:- After playing Elden Ring how acute the inventory issue was! It's just something with something, such an inconvenient mechanic that definitely made not just talking about it in this section, but in general - pissed me off and made me really angry enough times during the course of the game- Next, I would highlight the basically outdated mechanics of the game in general - I wouldn't divide them into some or specific ones, I would emphasize the totality, and they didn't just hinder the walkthrough - they killed it by introducing unwavering difficulty where you simply don't expect it and where, literally, it shouldn't be.- Passing for knights and other mellish classes is one big minus! And Elden Ring was passed on platinum, so also for a knight without any questions, but this game did not just make me sweat and pump hastily into a magical character - the game just sizzled my nerves because of point 2! Magic didn't just make life easier - it saved it and gave new joyful emotions from the game - that's why I heartily recommend all newcomers to the series to start with this class!Probably, after 40 hours of play, these are all the main drawbacks that this game gave me - and I want to emphasize that I liked the game and carried me so much that I reached the final credits and ended my journey on a positive note for myself as a player!I will briefly talk about the main positive aspects:- The story - yes, for some it may not seem like a plus at all, but for me it's a big plus - because thanks to this methodology you start to learn more about the ENT of the game, watch various reviews and so on - thus getting involved in the game even more- Game mechanics in general - yes, despite the fact that it is indicated in the minuses of the game - the mechanics of Demon's Souls is the strongest side of the game, which along with the trials in the form of a plot gives a lot of positive emotions (but here you need to make an accent on the fact that as soon as you (as a player) pumped up to the level of at least some pleasure from the game - everything changes. The game starts to become a real work of art for you as a player- Music, graphics, content - all these aspects I will mercilessly combine into one point, but each of them individually brings a piece of something cool, complementing the world of the game and making it the work of art that it **** in all, these are the main thoughts that have come to my mind so far after 40 hours of playing the game - however, I'm sure they are enough to rate the game.

"It Takes Two" is a corporate project for two that not only promises to gift you several (or rather, a sufficient number of) evenings filled with interesting situations but offers a real adventure that introduces you to the touching story between Cody and **** simply won't have a chance to get bored in this game. Every few minutes, the game offers you all sorts of different techniques (and each location has its unique features); many of them are familiar from various other familiar places - there are chess, races on radio-controlled cars, ping-pong, volleyball, fights in the style of Mortal Kombat, and much more. There are so many that you literally want to smile every time you encounter something new and interesting! I liked it so much that I immediately want to give the game the highest score just for my nostalgic **** plot is engaging, andthe characters you meet along the way are interesting; Hakim alone is just fantastic! For this character, I'm ready to say - he's the best positive character in the history of games! Thanks to the developers for him! But even the secondary characters are charming enough to make you fall in love with them, despite the little time the game allows you to spend **** music - my respects - it includes a variety of tracks that are pleasant to listen to even outside of the **** for the graphics - it's evident that the game didn't have a very large budget - if we talk about human mimicry and animations. However, if you consider the toy world - it's top-notch! You just dissolve into the world of the game.Also, a key advantage for me was that this game is built on interacting with another player - so I highly recommend grabbing the game and going through it with your friends or your significant other!

This game has effortlessly ascended to the top of my all-time favorite list, offering a depth of emotion and immersive experience unlike anything I've encountered in gaming thus far. The sheer impact it had on me, emotionally engaging me to the core and compelling me to fall in love with every aspect of the game, speaks volumes about its quality and the profound effect it can have on its players.Despite initial reservations about the game's pricing, a workaround using a Turkish account alleviated this concern, allowing me to dive into the game without any financial hindrances. This setup enabled a pure, unadulterated connection between me and the game, fostering a one-on-one engagement that highlighted the game's **** gameplay stands out as a pinnacle of excellence, offering an unparalleled experience that encapsulates the essence of living through the game's universe. Whether it's a slow-paced scene requiring detailed exploration or an adrenaline-pumping combat sequence, the game consistently surprises and delights, introducing new layers of engagement. The addition of new facial animations brings characters to life in unprecedented ways, especially on the PlayStation 5, enhancing the emotional depth and connection to both primary and secondary characters. This feature alone significantly elevates the game's immersive quality, making every interaction and every moment feel more real and **** narrative of the game is another aspect where it truly shines, maintaining a spot at the very top of my personal gaming experiences. Its storytelling prowess, characterized by a perfect blend of simplicity and depth, invites players to delve into the protagonist's mindset, understand their motivations, and feel the weight of the inevitable outcomes of their actions. This rich narrative is complemented by a masterful musical score and voice acting that not only pays homage to the classic elements of the series but also enhances the overall atmosphere and emotional engagement of the game. The soundtrack, in particular, manages to transport players back in time while simultaneously evoking a fresh wave of emotions, adding a significant layer of depth to the gaming **** the graphical front, the game is a visual masterpiece. The meticulously designed environments, rich with color and detail, invite players to explore every inch of the game world. The PlayStation 5's capabilities are fully leveraged to present a breathtakingly beautiful game that encourages players to pause and appreciate the artistry at every turn.However, the game is not without its flaws. The AI's intelligence sometimes falls short, creating moments of frustration. Additionally, the mechanics for interacting with objects in the game can be cumbersome, occasionally requiring multiple attempts to pick up items. Moreover, the repetitive nature of dialogue and animations can become tiresome as the game **** conclusion, despite its minor drawbacks, the game stands as a monumental achievement in storytelling, gameplay, and visual artistry. It is a project that not only tells a compelling story but also evokes a wide range of emotions, teaching valuable life lessons and presenting real-world challenges. It's a testament to the game's exceptional quality that it should be experienced by everyone, cementing its status as a timeless masterpiece in the gaming world.

"Mafia 2: Definitive Edition" serves as an inseparable continuation of the first game, enriching the established harsh mafia world. This sequel was not just a revelation to me but provided an emotional depth I hadn't anticipated, particularly highlighted by memorable scenes like Angelo's assassination and Joe's fate, placing it at the pinnacle of my personal gaming experiences.**Highlights**:- The story captivates with its simplicity and emotional engagement, offering a narrative richness that prompts introspection and a spectrum of emotions.- Exceptional graphics and animations bring the game world to life, encouraging detailed exploration of every location.- The portrayal of the main character, a cat, offers a unique gameplay perspective, fostering an immediate connection and love for the protagonist and his journey.- The game's ambiance is meticulously crafted, from changing locations to the portrayal of different seasons, enhancing the immersive experience.- The car designs and handling are notably well-executed, offering a pleasurable driving experience that complements the game's atmosphere.**Music**:- The soundtrack is a masterpiece, significantly contributing to the game's atmosphere and immersion, effectively transporting players to the era's streets and enhancing various game scenarios.**Cons**:- Despite its strengths, the game has its downsides, such as outdated combat mechanics and animations, which can detract from the gameplay **** summary, "Mafia 2: Definitive Edition" is a comprehensive work that enriches the mafia saga, blending an engaging story, stunning visuals, and an unmatched musical backdrop into a captivating experience that resonates deeply with the player.

The strangest game in recent times, which in addition was passed literally in 80-90 minutes. Not only that it seemed to me an absolutely incomprehensible project - and I seriously could not understand the main idea (only guesses and no more than that), also did not understand the main "muva" of the plot; also the strangeness is caused by the presentation of the game through the PC and video, which you constantly have to watch, just in order to understand the situation.There's very little to say about the game at all - there's just nothing that comes to mind. The only thing that is probably worth saying is that the project is given out for free by subscription, so absolutely everyone can try to "stick" in it and try to find something for themselves. For me personally - this project is purely for a quick platinum and no more than thatPlus I can note the game in solitaire, which made me sweat, but in addition caused good emotions).

"Stray" emerged as an unexpected gem, a delightful surprise that captivated me from the moment I started playing, especially through its cityscapes, making me forget the world around me. It's a game that demands attention for its engaging narrative full of twists, stunning animation and graphics despite its indie budget, and the novel experience of navigating the game world as a cat.**Pros**:- The story is engaging, filled with emotional depth and surprising turns.- Exceptional animation and graphics bring the beautifully detailed world to life, encouraging exploration.- Playing as a cat offers a unique perspective, with gameplay mechanics that allow for typical feline behaviors, enhancing immersion and fun.- Level design impresses with its simplicity and effectiveness, making the game a standout despite expectations.- The soundtrack enhances every aspect of the game, from tension to relaxation, with some tracks becoming personal favorites.- The game's availability on subscription services adds value, making it accessible to a wider audience.**Cons**:- High-quality graphics reveal minor flaws, likely due to the project's limited budget.- Repetitive use of the "X" button for actions can become frustrating.- A personal disinterest in robots as characters, though understandable given budget constraints and the ease of animation.- Any detected flaws feel minor and somewhat forced, highlighting the game's overall quality and appeal."Stray" is not just a game but an experience that redefines expectations, blending its narrative, visuals, and unique gameplay into a cohesive and memorable adventure. It earns a strong recommendation, especially for those looking for something refreshingly different in the gaming landscape.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge" quickly overturned my initial disappointment with its portrayal of the turtles, distinct from the 2003 versions I grew up with. Despite initial skepticism towards the 80s-90s iteration of the characters, the game's charm, engaging gameplay, and nostalgic pixel art won me over, offering a fresh appreciation for this classic rendition of the turtles. **Gameplay** is thrilling, featuring a wide array of character-specific moves set to an exciting soundtrack and unique, engaging bosses. The diversity of over five characters each with unique abilities adds depth to the game. However, replay value diminishes after multiple playthroughs as the novelty of different moves wears off, and the grind to level up all characters becomes tedious in solo play. The game truly shines in multiplayer mode, transforming repetitive solo sessions into exhilarating cooperative experiences for up to six players, highlighting the game's replayability in this context. **Music and Visuals**: The soundtrack captivates with familiar tunes that evoke childhood gaming memories, while the pixel art visuals celebrate the beauty of retro gaming. The absence of a photo mode is a missed opportunity for capturing gameplay moments. **Achieving Platinum** is relatively straightforward but can be grueling due to certain trophies demanding high skill and patience, especially in arcade mode on "GNARLY" difficulty. Online guides are invaluable for saving time and effort towards these **** summary, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge" transforms initial skepticism into a delightful surprise, leveraging nostalgia and cooperative gameplay to deliver a compelling experience, despite some challenges in achieving platinum.

"Resident Evil Village" marked my first foray into the horror genre, and it was a surprisingly successful introduction. Without prior experience in the Resident Evil series, this installment felt like a fresh dive into both the franchise and Japanese game **** game's narrative is captivating, offering a linear storyline that felt refreshing compared to the open-world games I'm accustomed to. Its ability to genuinely scare me, forcing me to turn on the lights at times, attests to its effectiveness as a horror game. Despite missing out on key references and Easter eggs due to my unfamiliarity with the series, the game intrigued me enough to explore the Resident Evil backstory further.Boss fights, especially in the Demetrescu Castle and Beneviento House, were highlights, though some bosses like Momo and Heisenberg felt underdeveloped or too briefly featured. Regular enemies and certain levels, like Heisenberg's Factory, excellently heightened the game's atmosphere of fear, panic, and excitement.Game design offered pleasant surprises with puzzles and levels that charmed me, notably Heisenberg's Factory and Beneviento House. The game's graphics are stunning, with a photomode that enhances enjoyment of the detailed environments and interiors, made even better by the smoothness of 60 frames per **** soundtrack complements the game's atmosphere perfectly, enhancing the horror, panic, and other emotions experienced throughout the game."Resident Evil Village" not only motivated me to delve into the series but also reignited emotions I hadn't felt in a long time or ever experienced before.Earning the platinum trophy, especially through the "Mercenaries" mode, was incredibly challenging, inducing both frustration and a sense of pride upon completion. It provided a mixed feeling of gratitude for the achievement and annoyance at its difficulty.

Having favorite teams and championships in a game significantly enhances the experience. For me, the presence of the Russian Premier League (RPL) was a major draw to this FIFA installment, despite its significant flaws. The soundtrack, featuring tracks from the World Cup in Russia, was a pleasant surprise, adding nostalgia and enjoyment. However, the commentary often disrupts the immersion with inaccurate and awkward phrases, and the attempt to localize teams sometimes falls flat due to outdated or incorrect **** gameplay feels notably outdated, lacking the smoothness and realism of later FIFA editions, yet there's an inexplicable charm that makes even this dated experience engaging. Playing in Career mode is surprisingly relaxing, drawing you back repeatedly despite the game's simplicity and lack of innovation. Essentially, this edition of FIFA, evaluated mainly through its Career mode, feels much like its predecessors but manages to rekindle interest through the inclusion of domestic competitions, appealing to those nostalgic for the Russian football scene.

This racing game offers a surprisingly delightful experience, especially for someone who typically doesn't gravitate towards racing simulators. Its arcade elements, enjoyable game modes, and realistic car physics made the game thoroughly enjoyable, earning a complete playthrough and platinum **** game immerses players in a world of hill racing adventures with "bucket" cars, providing a mix of vibrant races, challenging tracks, and spectacular crashes. Despite a limited number of unique tracks—with some repeated in reverse to simulate newness—the variety of racing scenarios ensures the gameplay remains fresh and engaging. From straightforward races to demolition derbies against an array of opponents, including the thrill of dodging a "killer bus," the game keeps boredom at bay with a diverse range of events and challenges.Online mode adds even more excitement, offering custom track creation and the opportunity to compete on other players' courses, enhancing the multiplayer experience. The ability to customize cars in the garage adds a layer of strategy, allowing players to balance speed against power for their preferred racing style.However, the game's appeal diminishes over time as the novelty of short races wears off, and the number of laps per race increases, making the gameplay feel repetitive and time-consuming towards the **** soundtrack complements the gameplay well, adding energy to the races, but can become monotonous after extended play sessions, leading to some players turning it off.Overall, this game stands out for its engaging mechanics and nostalgic appeal, particularly recommended for racing fans and those seeking a fun, arcade-style driving experience.

This game delivers a unique experience tailored for SpongeBob enthusiasts, brimming with countless references to the beloved cartoon series. However, as someone who isn't a dedicated fan, the game didn't manage to impress me significantly. Its gameplay proved more exhausting than enjoyable, indicating that it might cater more to younger audiences or newcomers to gaming, offering them a joyous experience through the presence of the iconic SpongeBob **** narrative aspect felt almost absent, with the game acting more as a hub for collecting items, defeating bosses, and exploring. Despite the potential for fun through unique mechanics like bowling and guided missiles, the gameplay quickly becomes monotonous. The challenge of collecting Patrick's socks or golden spatulas becomes a grind, made frustrating by their meticulous placement across the map, which seems impossible to navigate without a guide.Character representation stands out, featuring all the notable characters from the series, potentially offering a nostalgic experience for fans. The music, initially capturing the SpongeBob essence, quickly wears thin due to its repetitiveness, leading me to turn it off to enhance my gaming experience.Overall, the game might appeal to children and adults looking for nostalgia but falls short in terms of engaging gameplay for more experienced gamers. Available for free on PlayStation Plus, its high retail price makes it a questionable purchase. I would recommend it primarily to SpongeBob fans eager to explore his adventures in a gaming format.

EA's latest offering emerges as a step backward, underwhelmingly inferior to its predecessor and underscoring a broader decline within both the company and its flagship football series. This disappointment is particularly poignant in light of the forthcoming name change from "FIFA," a move necessitated by the lapse of EA's licensing agreement with the Football Federation. The rebranding not only signifies a low point in EA's game development saga but also epitomizes the company's trend of exploiting its fanbase with a monotonous stream of football simulators and a heavily monetized game structure that locks significant enjoyment behind a paywall. Following FIFA 2020, my enthusiasm for the series has nearly vanished, relegating my engagement to the "Manager Career" mode, through which I'll critique the game in its entirety.Manager Career mode was anticipated to be a beacon of innovation, especially with the transition to next-gen consoles in FIFA 21, which promised new animations, situational moments, and an overall fresh gaming experience—expectations that were only partially met. FIFA 22, rather than presenting a breakthrough, continued the trend of incremental updates, prompting me to delay my purchase in anticipation of a seasonal sale. A notable moment came when the game was included in the PlayStation+ subscription, rekindling my interest albeit **** introduction of customizable clubs, including stadium and kit personalization each season, initially seemed like a refreshing change. Yet, the reality was less impressive, with existing clubs limited to minor cosmetic tweaks and no option for kit modifications, a missed opportunity for deeper customization.Performance issues mar the experience with noticeable lags and freezes within menus, contrasting sharply with the smoother gameplay of FIFA 21, highlighting an inexplicable downgrade despite both versions being developed for the PS5. Furthermore, the game suffers from a stark lack of innovation, particularly in the Manager Career mode, which remains stale and neglected. Small club adjustments make up a mere fraction of the game's content, with the bulk feeling as outdated and uninspired as ever.Gameplay has deteriorated into a tedious affair, losing the dynamic and enjoyable elements that characterized the transition from FIFA 20 to FIFA 21. The lack of new animations and gameplay mechanics in FIFA 22 contributes to a sense of stagnation, making matches either unengaging or outright **** Ultimate mode's PRO version exacerbates these issues, featuring an AI that anticipates player moves with frustrating precision, leading to a gameplay experience that feels rigged and unrewarding. Additionally, the game's soundtrack quickly becomes repetitive and grating, pushing players to seek solace in the musical selections from earlier FIFA **** trajectory of the FIFA series paints a grim picture of a franchise in decline, trapped in a cycle of minimal innovation due to EA's monopolistic hold on the sports sim market. With the impending rebrand to "EA FOOTBALL SOCCER," there's little optimism for significant improvement, suggesting a future of continued mediocrity marked by cosmetic updates rather than substantive gameplay enhancements. This cycle seems destined to persist as long as profits remain steady, leaving little hope for a revival of the series' former glory.

Absolutely! Here's a seamless and concise summary of your review:Elden Ring shines as 2022's gaming masterpiece, captivating with its revival of deep, exploratory joy and offering over 80 magical hours of gameplay that every PS5 and XBOX X owner should experience. As my introduction to the Souls-like genre, the game presented a fresh challenge with its unique gameplay mechanics and priority settings, deeply immersing me into Miyazaki's intricately crafted world. The plot, shrouded in mystery and complexity, demanded external resources for a fuller understanding, reflecting the game's depth and aligning with genre expectations. The steep learning curve, especially in mastering controls, not only heightened the sense of achievement but also solidified my engagement with the game. Elden Ring's open world, a new feature for the series, offered an unparalleled sense of freedom and exploration, sparking curiosity and discovery at every turn, much like the exploratory joy found in Minecraft. The graphics, with options for native 4K at 30fps or 2K at 60fps, were breathtaking, allowing me to tailor my experience between visual fidelity and performance without sacrificing the game's stunning visuals. The musical score seamlessly enhanced the gameplay, with the memorable main theme evoking a deep emotional connection and driving my progression. Despite spending over 85 hours in the game, the lore remained enigmatic, revealing its true depth only through dedicated research and adding to the game's mystique and replayability. While the intricate controls and dense lore posed challenges, they contributed to the game's charm, making any perceived flaws negligible. As my first foray into this genre, Elden Ring set a high bar, leaving me with little to criticize and much to admire, embodying a true gaming masterpiece that challenges and delights in equal measure.

Spider-Man 2: «The Good, the Bad and the Ugly». The Spider-Man that could, however there are nuances. Flying is a must in this game, thanks to the thrilling wing flight. It is executed to perfection, providing long-lasting **** game has greatly improved the city and introduced new locations, making exploration more fun. The combat is varied and new techniques are introduced to enhance the **** for the story, the game doesn't do a good job. It tries to cram too much into the story, leaving many elements underdeveloped. Only one mission in particular, the side mission with Howard, managed to evoke emotion. The stealth sections with Mary Jane are a "nice addition," but the gameplay with Venom is disappointingly brief. Some characters, such as Miles and Harry, are not properly grounded in the **** game suffers from visual bugs, crashes, and frame rate drops in some scenes even on low graphics **** game does not show any noticeable improvement in the visual **** feels like Spider-Man 2 was released in a hurry and the game disappoints with its lack of polish and overall lack of execution in the story. Despite the flaws, the game is amazing with fantastic gameplay, especially the flying and the new Newton New York. The story lacks depth and is intended for a wide audience, but ends up falling flat. Hopes that the third installment of the game will be better are uncertain.

If you are looking for addictive gameplay, unparalleled stunning graphics, numerous fun mechanics and an interesting setting that can keep you engrossed for 30-60 hours - then Horizon Forbidden West will definitely suit your taste. The game gives a chic gaming experience: 2 game modes give a choice - either the priority is given to the picture (4k 30 fps), or the frame rate (60 fps) I was more comfortable playing in 60 frames, although 4k mode also gives awesome emotions. Elaboration of side quests - reached a new level, they are interesting (although not all) Open world - I want to explore, settlements have become alive, cars have become more interesting, although globally this is still the first part with its own nuances The main plot did not give any emotions “Wow”, but the last scene made it possible to feel like a Superhero in the movie “Avengers Infinity War Finale”, which caused a smile. However, there are also disadvantages - the main one is close combat, the lack of a system of difficulties and cropped damage (moments - when you fall and just take damage without being able to get up) The biggest disadvantage is close combat - it is simply useless, since you do not get any advantages, rather, you even lose time and health, as well as nerves. 10 times out of 10 I will use a bow rather than melee. Moreover, the combinations raise enormous questions - since they often pass as if without the participation of the player - you press one, and you get something completely different. Summing up, I would like to note that Horizon Forbidden West is definitely a step forward in the field of Next Gene, I recommend everyone to get acquainted with the game - here you will definitely find something of your own (which is worth flying on robotic birds)

If you're looking for a single player game with well-written dialogues and an amazing atmosphere in a superhero setting, then this game definitely deserves your attention. Dialogues are so mesmerizing and evoke emotions that it is simply impossible to break away from the whole game, for such work with text and voice acting, I want to give the developers a standing ovation. We also have to give credit to the graphics part of the game - the games look great, and 60 frames on the PS5 are played perfectly. But there are also problematic moments - like a boring combat system, which is completely annoying at the very beginning of the game, as well as opponents that look ridiculous. Also, many plot points - like dragons in space, raise some questions ... But, this game definitely deserves attention - you definitely won't regret playing it.
