The later chapters of this game were so boring jt felt like cruel and unusual punishment . Banger soundtrack though the spider mastermind map theme is awesome

Super fun game with amazing music and combat but everything else feels half baked. There’s such an alarming amount of janky platforming in a game obviously not built for it. My biggest praise for this game is the difficulty I played through my first time on ultra violence and it was an amazing adrenaline rush. All in all I would say it’s solid not groundbreaking but nowhere near terrible

It just feels like a fan fiction with unneeded padding. I don’t want to sound like a nostalgia hungry millennial and I’m not. I’m 20 and I played the original when I was 19 and I vastly prefer the original. The extremely sluggish side quests and lingering bits in the story completely suck all the enjoyment I have out of this combined with the press square to win combat carried by pretty visuals make this feel like I’m playing a dynasty warriors game except the fun part is gone. My least favorite aspect of all is the changes to the story and the seemingly fourth wall breaking behavior sephiroth and the cloaked ghosts literally beating you over the head with what they’re an allegory for. The Zack revival stuff is hilarious it’s like something out of a shounen anime. One of my few praises for the remake is the soundtrack though but it’s final fantasy so I’m not saying anything new with that

My friends have been telling me to play this game for literal years and I feel bad for not listening. This is most likely the best prequel game I’ve ever played and it’s encouraged me to continue on to the rest of the series. Never have I played a game that felt so grounded and real . I don’t have much else to say other than regret over not playing this masterpiece sooner
The more mature story (by recent Pokémon standards) , lore ramifications for sinnoh , and the amazing real time catch mechanics make this game one of the best Pokémon games ever easily ;though a good Pokémon is still far from being a good video game generally speaking . The textures are muddy , the levels especially alabaster Icelands and cobalt coastlands feel janky and overly linear despite the game encouraging more mobile movement and freedom , and of course the lack of meaningful presentation through stiff character animations and lack of voice acting hurt this game alot. I still feel like Pokémon gameplay has peaked here but they just don’t let these games cook long enough and only get away with it because Pokémon fans only play Pokémon and don’t branch out to know what’s actually good

I love the setting , lore , visuals , and the god tier soundtrack but what I played of the story was just ok and the side content is very dull. I’m gonna be honest edgerunners baited me into buying this game and it’s my fault
Every night I pray for a good one piece game but the prayers go unanswered to this day
2019
Banger game banger soundtrack. I reminisce about the nightclub level and motorcycle level all the time
It’s a warriors game so don’t expect anything groundbreaking if you’ve already played one before. I do love how this is a big celebration of the series though. Another Thing is that I’m pretty sure you will never run out of content here there’s so much to do in this game
2017
This game peaked during the first choose your legends event. The fact they added a monthly subscription to a game that still uses sprite based cutscenes is so funny
I forget about this game until I randomly remember the characters are really named “kino and nene” and I start laughing. It was ok I’m not a fan of xeno 1 gameplay in general but the music is great in fc

This is my favorite game ever and the only game I cared enough about to get the platinum trophy in. I might be biased here but the game has a lot of things I loved going in like the post apocalyptic setting. The game isn’t perfect and while things like the 9s hacking and route b pushed a lot of people away I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Getting ending s and the final shut em up section in the credits ending with me giving up my save file to protect a fellow player is one of the most beautiful moments I’ve seen in fiction as a whole
Everything about this game feels so soulless and uninspired it’s really cool
On my worst days I remember how awesome the delta episode was and everything is suddenly fine again
2011
I used to be mad about losing on Pokémon x wifi battles as a kid I’d get on this to cope
