One of the GOATs
2018
Great game, although some builds feel like easy mode and others feel impossible.
2021
Perhaps the most frustrating controls of any game I've ever played. Additionally the story is doodoo but there's still quite a bit of it!!
2020
The VR GOAT
It's an alright game
2011
Video games peaked in 2011
A masterpiece in character writing, especially for video games. But the mission design is rockstar's standard "follow guy to location, do shoot out". There thankfully enough exceptions like the hot air balloon, the le moyne bank robbery, the jail breaks, or the train robberies etc. that make the story worthwhile. Also the world feels more fully realized and alive than any other game I've played.
2018
I don't love the combat, and there's so much. Which is fucked up to say about a God of War game
2007
The best puzzle game until Portal 2
2004
Insane how Valve put out the best game of the decade 4 times in 20 years.
2017
Who knew jumping could be so fun! Taking off 0.5 for the cutscenes which are insultingly stupid pig slop
2022
Charming and it doesn't out stay it's welcome, but ultimately very simple gameplay-wise. A walking simulator where you're a cat... not enough games let you play as non-human creatures.
2018
This game is so strange. It does so much so poorly - the stealth missions are straight out of the early 00s, the combat is just batman but worse, the boss battles are often just quick time events, the cookie cutter side missions etc. etc. But they nail the web slinging SO HARD, and the recreation of New York was so impressive, that it ended up being maybe the only open world game where I approached 100% completion (I think I didn't finish all the gang hideouts or whatever, because those are just too much of a slog). So I dunno what to give it.
2021
An incredible opening but gets worse as it goes on, until you finally reach the nonsensical ending. But still really happy I played, what an experience. Just play it!
2007
A game that's aged pretty poorly, it' still a master class in world design and environmental story telling.
