Having now beat it twice, I feel pretty conflicted on this game. The combat and bosses can be really awesome when they get a chance to shine. The music has clear inspirations but is beautiful all the same. However, most of the story has no heart, the writing is terrible, the side missions are almost exclusively mid, and the art direction has no cohesion.
The only thing more stale than most of this game is the conversation surrounding it. But when the game has as hype as a final few hours as it does, its hard to not be excited for a possible sequel

Some of the best character writing, animation, voice acting & gameplay in any game I've ever experienced with some very awful pacing, especially in the late game. Still trying to decide how I feel about the story but I am willing to wait for the finale before fully giving my judgement.

The gameplay is a mess but can be fun. The story is also a mess but I enjoyed it. The live service stuff is way more of a mess and I don't have a 'but' for that.

As a "remaster' it doesn't really add that much but the bonus content is well worth the ten dollar upgrade. No Return is a fantastic add-on that lets the gameplay really shine.

Perhaps too faithful of a remake, but just proves the game was just about perfect to begin with

Easily the best 3/5 game of the year!

This is as Spider-Man as it gets. Swinging never felt so good.

Immortals of Aveum is probably a game a lot of people will skip this year. Considering what it's going up against it's hard to blame anyone for doing so. But between crazy ambitious games like Zelda and Baldurs Gate, it is pretty nice to have a simple but competent shooter that doesn't overstay its welcome. I would easily recommend Immortals to someone needing a downtime game or looking for something quick once it goes on sale.

Leaving this review as a formal apology to whoever comes over to our house to visit for the rest of the year, as I will be forcing you to experience this. You will know true pain.

Activision is milking Crash as much as it can while dancing on the corpse of Spyro, and this is what we get.

It's times like these where I wish I did half star ratings.

Lego 2K Drive is such a fun take on the genre, but for a full priced game it has worse microtransactions than you'd expect from a free to play one, making the experience far more grindy than It should be.

As a nearly 40 year old franchise, It brings me so much joy to know that The Legend of Zelda has never really lost its magic. This is the apex of that. I don't know how they can really make it better than this but, I'm gonna enjoy being surprised all over again when they do.

I was lucky to get this a little early and I've finished my first playthrough but I'm far from done. Resident Evil sets a new standard for remakes again
