I won't sugarcoat this: the combat in this game is atrocious, which on it's own wouldn't be much of a problem if the game didn't focus so much on it.
The atmosphere can be great at times, but it is instantly ruined by enemies appearing in droves.
Shame, because to get the full story you need to replay the game multiple time, which means you are suffering from the terrible combat system 4 times in total...
Flawed game, with censorship added as of the 1.5 update.
Completed the game 100% before the infamous 1.5 Patch. If I reviewed the game before the 1.5 update I would have given it a 4 stars out of 5. It's a flawed game with hilariously broken boss fights, like they belong in a different game but overall it was an enjoyable soulslike. As of the 1.5 Patch however developers made very questionable changes to the story, essentially invalidating many plot elements and making the story just fall apart.
SOS: Grand Bazaar is one of those cozy games that you expect to sit down to play for 30 minute sessions but before you realise it you have spent hours attending to your animals and crops.
Great game, but buyers beware if you are buying Deluxe
Konami made a baffling decision to only include 10 songs in the Soundtrack, and on top of that many of the most iconic songs such as Laura's Theme, Promise are not part of this mini soundtrack..
That aside, the game itself is great.....just don't try to run it on a Steam Deck.
Elden Ring is the next evolution of Fromsoftware's Soulslike game. The combat is fluid, the addition of the open world works well as there's plenty of areas to explore with a decent variety of enemies.
However when it comes to the technical aspects the game falters. The LOD could be better as there are very noticeable object pop-ins whe you traverse on horseback.
As for the PC port it certainly has its issues even on a new configuration (Ryzen 5800X, RTX 3070, 32GB ram, Win 10, installed on Nvme), the game has occasional stutters and during bigger fights there are some very noticeable framerate drops even on 1080p.
If you are on the fence I would recommend waiting a few days/weeks for Bandai Namco to sort things out, because this game deserve a better port...and so do you!
Tales of Arise is an excellent game for both newcomers and series veterans alike. The combat has improved a lot since Tales of Berseria and it's both very fluid and enjoyable. The cast of characters are very likeable and they quickly became one of my favorite jrpg parties.
The story while kind of formulatic it still contains a handful of interesting twists and turns.
Excellent soundtrack, most of the time relaxing vibe, great story and an interesting online component that allows players to help each other by providing materials and structures.
The missions get a bit repetitive after a while, but helping others to accomplish their goals is super fun and satisfying.
Enemy Within is nowhere as good as its predecessor. The story lacks a solid direction with so many characters to juggle none of them get the screen time they deserve.
The QTE segments are still obnoxious and the animations are wonky.
Worth picking up a sale but it's not worth the full price.
Days Gone is an excellent PC port, which runs well and plays well.
Gameplay wise it borrows a lot of elements from similar games: shooting mechanics from Tomb Raider reboot and scavenging, stealth from State of Decay.
While the core gameplay loop is solid, there are many flaws that hold Days Gone from being a great game. The inventory is very limited, which makes the exploration unrewarding as most of the items you pick up are weapon crafting materials and you are full most of the time anyway.
The side objectives while fun at the beginning they get repetitive really fast as there's not enough variety in them: - assassination missions: kill the target - capture mission - horde elimination - camp extermination
The story is enjoyable overall, but personally I think it drags on way too long and it would have been a better plot if it ended sooner, the last act of the game feels like a last-minute addition with a cartoonish villain and the repetitiveness of the missions hit an all time low in the form of fetch quests.
Overall I think 3.5 out 5 is a fair score for Days Gone.
The season pass comes with 2 characters and a slaughter dome and a story expansion
The new characters, Doppelganger Jack and Lady Hammerlock are great additions to the roster, each coming with their own unique playstyle and skill trees.
The story expansion, Claptastic Voyage is one of the best DLC's in the Borderlands franchise. It hits just the right notes, the humor is on point and level design is wacky (in a good way) as you would expect since you are inside Claptrap's head.
Last but not least the Holodome Slaughter is the last piece of content you get with the Season Pass. Unfortuantely it's a letdown, it's not only lazily done, but feels like it should have been part of the main game.
This is a great story with Telltale's own spin on the Batman mythos. The dialogues are well crafted and the story is one Telltale's best. The 5 episodes are well paced and the plot twist is completely unexpected especially if you are familiar with the Batman lore.
Unfortunately as usual the technical aspects of the game hold it back from being great. Telltale's engine is very rough, the animations are wonky and unpolished and the signature Telltale Quick Time Events are still not fun.
Last Divinity not only adds a new clan with their two heroes but a series of random events and a new final boss are also incorporated into the game, The new cards allow a vast number of new combinations and strategy offering you dozen hours of extra content.
