I must thank this game for convincing me to finally delve deeper into the Star Wars franchise so much that after finishing the game, I immediately went to watch the films and TV shows because I fell in love with the lore and the world of Star Wars.
The game in itself, was brilliant and tackled a personal story of our protagonist, Cal Kastis. That is what I liked about it the most that it wasn't some grandiose 'save the universe' type of story but a personal one for Cal. We witness him accepting defeat, and all of what he did against the empire was meaningless, as the empire kept growing and growing, and Cal kept losing friends, it began to take a toll on him. We saw what Cal could be if he continued his hopeless fight against the empire. It felt toshing, and the surprise at the end of the game was very well done. The side characters were excellent and supported what the game wanted to deliver.
The gameplay and the exploring were so much fun. The gameplay has tons of abilities from the first game already unlocked. The lightsabre stances were pretty diverse and unique. We have five stances, and all of them offer a different gameplay style. The exploration was spot on. Everywhere I go, I want to discover it, and thankfully, there is always some reward. Every time I unlocked a new ability, I backtracked to open a chest I was not able to open before, etc.
I loved this game, and I hope for many more from the Star Wars franchise. I recommend it, especially after playing the first game.
Just one note, the game runs horribly.

What a journey it has been, truly one of the best stories I have ever seen. It is so simple yet so well done. It is full of human emotions and tests your humanity numerous times. not only the Decisions you make but also what the other characters make and think. The journey to Survival is what tests your humanity when you’re not privileged to judge people because it is either us or them. That is when you see who the true human is when people are not bound by rules and regulations and will choose themselves, their group, or bind themselves to their moral compass and hope that it is the right decision. There are so many scenes that express what I’m talking about. This story is one that I wish to forget about it and play it again for the first time again. That last scene, man. It made me cry so hard.
I just can't express it enough. I love this story so much from the very first season, the first episode to the final session, final episode.

Even if I didn't like the gameplay that much, it is ultimately a story with a gameplay element attached to it. I can say with no doubt that I enjoyed going through the story. you essentially play the game after twenty years of a plague that killed and only left a fraction of a percent alive. you play as John and you meet a witch and that witch is called Fai, the witch is responsible for carrying the dead spirit to space via a rocket so they may find peace. Also, you can hear the spirits calling, bagging to be at peace, and sometimes John recognises these souls as one of his friends or the police officer of the town, etc.
I find it to be an interesting premise and frankly, it was. I had fun playing this game and I recommend it to anyone who wants a game with an excellent story, minimal gameplay and wonderful music. Also, It is a short game between 5-8 hours only. I think it deserves a go.

It is very short, but hey, it is free, and It does offer something. To give you Fei's perspective on the first thing she does when she wakes up, and how she is full of despair and fear that everyone is gone. I see nothing wrong with the game.

It was truly a wonderful experience, even if I didn't like card games. I mean, it keeps changing and introducing new cards to experience with. The art style was beautiful, and depending on where you are in the story, it changes along with the cards. I will definitely play it again to try the different runs it offers.
it best to try it not knowing a thing about the game

It is a great game with fantastic music and art style. Also, a plot that is so interesting that it got me hooked for a sequel to flush out the story more. I just wish that it was longer because the gameplay was unique and fun for me.
It didn't resonate with me as much as the majority here, but I think it is worth giving it a shot and trying it out.

Before I begin, I want to say that I HATE Melanie. Hate is a weak word to describe my feelings toward her. SHE Killed me 200 times before I killed her. I really hate her. her story is alright tho.
After I played Bloodborne and got captive by its lore and story, and enjoyed its gameplay with its parry and rallying systems, the music was unforgettable. I still listen to it to this day. It was truly, a masterpiece of a game. I immediately bought Elden Ring to play my second Fromsoftware game and try it out, and it did not disappoint.
It wasn't a second Bloodborne by any means, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Exploring, fighting bosses, and discovering new characters with interesting stories to tell, it was good, all of it. I very much enjoyed discovering the lore of the land, what happened to the bosses I'm fighting, and how they reached the place they are in now. Such as Morgott the omens king, who even when he was shand by the society he protects, he still does it anyway, or Starscourge Radahn, whose soldiers still follow and respect him even after he turned into a mere beast that they choose to have a festival of worriers just so there leader die a warrior's death. Or Rykard Lord of Blasphemy, who rebelled against the rule of the erdtree after he was a champion of it, but chose a road of blasphemy as he was lost to the god-devouring serpent delving into gluttony, it then began eating its soldiers and champions to gain more power. Mohg lord of blood, Godrick the grafted, and as much as I hate her Melanie. They all have some interesting lore to be discovered, and those bosses are what stack with me. they were very well done in one aspect or another. The problem with Eldin ring bosses is how many they are and how much they clone them. this is the biggest negative I can give. Like for example I see something cool and I want to discover it but I end up having to fight a boss I fought before. It is frustrating, to say the least.
The gameplay was good with a lot of different Weapons, and with every weapon you choose the play style changes. For example, you choose to play with the colossal sword. you will first have to build a strength-only character so that you can lift the sword, so your play style will be slow and calculated as every hit will take some time to connect. Or if you choose to play with the double daggers you will have to build your character around dexterity so you will have to be fast and always moving. It is these things that make Elden Ring so enjoyable it offers a ton of playstyles to pick and choose from.
The open world, I believe, is a mess or hit for me. Yes, there is a lot of cool moment when you are wandering around the world of Eldin Ring but what I hate the most about it, is that it is unbalanced -for me of course- sometimes you end up in a place full of weak enemies that you stomping through them. Other times, it is the complete opposite. the dungeons, for me, were not great at all, they all felt repetitive and bland with a recycled boss at the end.
All in all, Eldin Ring is a fantastic game that is 100% worth the money. It comes with great lore to discover, excellent gameplay with a lot of options and playstyles, and well-made bosses, but there were a lot of recycled bosses that hindered the game a bit. Also, an open world that lacked balance - in my opinion -. It was a nice second game from the studio Fromsoftware
If I had to give it a number, I would give it 8/10.

A fun and new experience with great music. The co-op was enjoyable. the Missions were good, especially with good level design.
I recommend it if you want something light and unique.

My first Souls experience, and what a game it was. The more time I spent on it, the more I loved it. It is the first game ever that I bought merchandise for.
To be honest, the first playthrough didn't live up to my expectations. When I reached the end, I said, "Really, that's it?" especially because I didn't fight Gehrmen (I know that was stupid). I then started NG+ with a bit of guidance from YouTube and my friends to find all the bosses I didn't fight and to follow on quests, But even then, the game was still a bit lacking. That was until I bought the DLC. GOD, does it complete the game. Ludwig, Lady Maria, and Laurence, Three of my favourite bosses in Bloodborne, came from the DLC. It got me to dive deeper into the lore, the bosses' stories, the healing church, and the great ones. I loved Bloodborne's story.
It's not just the story that captivated me, the gameplay was pretty good, and it felt nice and fluid. The parry system was excellent because it made the player choose a high-risk high-reward play. All the weapons have a great design, and all have different move sets with different abilities. All were good, some better than others, but all felt useable. Of course, if you have the right build for the weapon. My favourite one was the moonlit sword because of my fight with Ludwig. That reveal of the second phase with the orchestra playing in the back was truly amazing, an unforgettable moment in the game.
Lastly, The music. I will give my favourite ones some details. First, Laurence Ost, when translated, gives us the story of how the scourge of the beast started, Laurence saw the significant value the holy blood offered for the people, and he thought it was a gift to be used to heal the people. Then the orchestra started to play without words indicating the passing of time. Then Laurence learned the truth, though it was too late to do anything about it, as he fell to the scourge. I will also share this one line that I thought was chilling "Peer into the mystery, and the beast will peer into you". Second,
Ludwig Ost did him justice as the first hunter of the healing church. The lyrics tell you his story, from once a hero and a proud hunter to something forgotten and cursed. The first phase is so ominous, sad, and filled with despair. Then the second phase starts like a hero's final fight, where Ludwig returns to his senses and fights you with his precious weapon. Lady Maria Ost just slaps, I don't know what to say more, then Living Failures, Gehrman, and lastly the Clerk Beast/Amelia.
This was a blast to write and a testament to how much I enjoyed Bloodborne. If this is my first Souls experience, I can't wait to play the other games.
a 9/10 experience it lacked without the DLC.

I have always heard about how excellent the mass effect trilogy was. When I started playing, I dropped it about halfway through the first game because I didn't fully engage with the story, and the combat didn't feel satisfying, but after a few months, I gave it another shot, and I'm very glad I did! The story, the characters, the themes, the world-building, and everything in between was so good. No wonder I spent around 180 hours on the whole trilogy!
Mass Effect 1: for me, the first mass effect game was the weakest, and I don't think it survived the test of time very well. The cinematic felt clanky, the combat was great, and the story was good when I completed it.
Mass Effect 2: The problem with 2 was that it felt pointless in the grand scheme. It introduces many characters with different backgrounds, which was the best part of this game, and the combat improved a bit. It is here, that some of my choices in the first game started to appear. That blow my mind, it was so good.
Mass Effect 3: It is, in my opinion, the best out of the three, whether it is combat or the interactions between the squad mates, or even the story as a whole. When you see your actions in this game it's like that meme ( Well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions lol) I really regretted some of my choices after I saw the consequences and I was like "How didnt I think about that when I made the choice". The end was satisfying for me, and I didn't get the hate toward it until I saw the original ending.
In the end, this trilogy was very good, I loved it so much, and it gets progressively better with each game. It has minor negatives that I think don't matter much.
you have to play it is in the game pass after all

This game was a welcomed change to my games. It is a tale about an old man's journey down memory lane to see his happiest moment, regrets, and dreams. To be open, there is little gameplay to be talked about. It is there just to move the story forward and introduce its beautiful art. The art in this game is phenomenal and sometimes made me stop playing to enjoy the scenery while a piece of calming and lovely music plays in the background. I honestly believe it is worth your time especially because it doesn't take much time to finish, around 1-2 hours.
I like it. It is a really short story that I think deserves to be given a try. It is only a 90 to 120-minute game
the music is wonderful, and I quite enjoyed it. I even study with it playing.
Don't expect great gameplay.

Cloudpunk is my second introduction to games with cyberpunk themes, and I have to say it didn't disappoint. The cyberpunk genre is new to me, and I am slowly beginning to fall in love with it. I quite enjoyed playing this game. I especially enjoyed roaming the city while playing my favorite music and looking around the stunning Nivalis. It really was just a wonderful vibe. When I'm not doing that, I will do the missions to hear the dialog between the Renia, Camus, and Control. especially Camus. I liked the characters you meet during the side quest, some are wacky and funny, some are annoying, and some are serious. The voice actors weren't perfect by any means, but they were good for me.
Some negatives I want to share. The character Design is not good at all, but to be fair, their portrait design looks great. The music could batter, and I honestly just wished for a radio function in the game.
I recommend it, it's a great game.

I have to say that I enjoyed playing this game more than the first two entries. Of course, BioShock infinite is not anywhere near a perfect game. It has a better combat loop overall, but it lacks something that made that first two entries. The lack of freedom you have when trying to discover the beautiful and dark city of Colombia.
it really was a good game with an interesting story, one that does suffer in the end, especially with the DLC content.
all and all, it was a great game I recommend it.
