The best Tech Demo ever made. Shows off the PS5 and Duelsense's capabilites in a fun , charming and nostalgic game package.
This should be the first thing you play on your brand new PS5 and all future consoles should have something akin to this at launch.
Loved every second of it!

Neat concept and I liked some of the artistic touches but I wasn't too interested in the "story" on offer.
With a slightly better execution and mystery this could have been something more memorable.
Fairly easy and fast Platinum Trophy for those who care.
Not worth a full price, get it dirt cheap if you are curious or give it a try if it's free.

I Loved Journey and Flower, so I was quite excited to try out Thatgamecompany's new game.
Sadly the online service based nature of the title really sucks away all the wonder and magic.
There is still a beautiful game underneath all that nonsense but it lacks the elegance of their previous games.
I really hope they return to making non service based stuff in the future.

The art direction and setting are what really make this game pretty special (though a bit problematic in today's climate), everything else is various degrees of OK or Janky.
It's a solid debut project for the studion considering how ambitious it is and how high quality it looks. Playing it you start to notice the shortcomings of the team and some of the development woes.
Still, it's the closest thing we got to a new Bioshock and really made me miss that series.
Worth checking out for sure, even if only for the art direction alone.

The single word that comes to mind when thinking about this game is simply: Masterpiece.
The visuals and sound design are up to par, but everything else is just a miss.
If this was supposed to be a new P.T. it definitely failed.

I played this as sort of an open world Splinter Cell and had a surprisingly good ol' time with it.
I enjoyed exploring this new setting and infiltrating all the modern installations built on this once untamed island. Really felt like I was behind enemy lines being hunted by a more advanced enemy.
Two things that did annoy me however: ran into a bug that basically made it impossible for me to finish the campaign, I didn't enjoy Ghost War PvP at all this time around compared to Wildlands

I remember seeing this game in the magazines and how different it looked from the first two.
Sam 2 is more comedic, colorful, zany and imaginative then the first ones. But also somehow feels a bit more artificial and less original.
I ultimately was there for the ride and enjoyed myself , I'm glad a version of Sam in this style exists. But it definitely lost some of the elements I enjoyed so much in the originals.

This feels like a Marvel game from the old days, before the MCU became a thing.
It's such a wacky premise, cast of characters and gameplay. But somehow, it works in the end.
You can easily show a random moment from this game and completely ruin it as often it doesn't look that great. But stick with it and it starts getting It's claws into you, in a good way.
This has (O)cult hit written all over it.

My first Thief game and one of the games that made me fall in love with the stealth genre.
Also features one of the best horror levels in a non horror game.

I didn't understand like any of it, but man does it have a killer style and vibe.

THE game of my early teens and the first franchise I even considered myself a fan of.
UT99 for me wasn't just a Multiplayer game, in fact I barely played with other people, mostly played against Bots.
What I saw and felt was the atmosphere, the cool characters, interesting locations, the awesome guns and snappy gameplay.
Just simply existing in this world, sometimes choosing to defend the base from Ai instead of rushing into battle, hearing the bots communicate over the coms. Analysed their tactics and movements to learn the game.
I played this game my way, and in doing so got immersed in the world created (however unreal it was)

An artist's worst nightmare is to create something that nobody will care for and that will be quickly forgotten.
TLOU2 is a game people still have strong feelings about and is remembered 4 years on, and will continue to be so for years to come just like the first game.
It's become one of my favourite experiences, putting it even higher then the first, precisely because it challenged me in ways few games have before.
I was angry , I grieved and now I am healed. Ready to return to this world, and to do it all over again.

What a weird and charming game this is.
I both understand how it could be someone's favorite final fantasy and another's worst.
It's really all over the place, but odly enough it worked for me. I appreciate the imagination, style and just vibe of the whole thing.
The soundtrack is instantly nostalgic, the visuals were surely a treat back on the old ps1 and the cast of characters endearing.
A memorable entry in the franchise for sure.

One of those games that consistently blew my mind as a young gamer. Some of the best boss fights, Easter Eggs, Secrets, Atmosphere and Story in a game.
