Never played a Hitman game before but I have enjoyed this one to the max. Brilliant level design with a lot of room for creativity and experimentation.
The new Freelance mode is also terrific fun, really challenges you in different ways and forces you to think on your feet. Highly recommended.

Loved it. Combat is so much fun and the customization of how you want to play is excellent and gives you freedom to explore and experiment at will. Really enjoyed the story as well. Fun to see Kratos given an even deeper character arc.
Nostalgia overload. Playing these games for the first time in 20+ years with my niece and nephew and had a very good time, this is honestly such a great way for kids to get into gaming if they are interested. Doesn't require you to be exceedingly good at the game, just have to think logically and you'll progress.
They don't make them like they used to.

How do you spend 11 years developing a "quadruple A" pirate game with no melee combat?
Great combat, fun movement and a convoluted story. This is Kingdom Hearts to a tee.
Seen a few dicussions about this being the worst KH game but that is impossible when Chain of Memories exists.

This game pales in comparison to Sands of Time in almost every way. It's praised for better combat which in fairness, has more variety and you can't just spam the same move over and over to beat every enemy like SOT.
But the story is just lacking. You can understand the Prince is desperate to solve his dilemma but the tonal shift in his character and aesthetic make it hard to get behind him. Kaileena is given barely any screen time to actually develop her character or her relationship with the Prince, that for some reason turns romantic during the good ending.
The constant going back through the same areas again and again feels very tedious in the last hour or two. And the lack of any proper puzzles is just such an odd choice when it made some of the finest areas in SOT.
This certainly isn't a timeless classic but a solid action game that has good first half but lackluster second half.

Sea of Stars is a charming and fun RPG that is a solid tribute to the games that clearly inspired it like Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG.
It has a solid but simple combat system, some great music and exploring the world created was a pleasing experience.
The game is let down by a lackluster story that never really got me engaged in the way I was expecting. It has some classic RPG story tropes but some don't feel earned.
If you're a fan of classic turn-based RPGs I'd definitely give this a try.

A classic of the PS1 era. If you want an easy platinum on PS4 then play it there, don't even need to 100% complete the game it's that easy.

This game is a masterpiece in storytelling, to this day it's still one of the most engaging stories told in not just video games but in just fictional media in general.
The gunplay is still solid fun, albeit slightly frustrating at times. The PC version is so much better in almost every way, so if you want to play this game, play the PC version. Or wait for the touted remake.

Wow! Truly an outstanding action game, everything is upped another level in terms of the combat, especially the boss fights and the pure scale and scope of pretty much everything.
Puzzles take a bit of a back seat, personally feel there could have been more of an emphasis on them but it's not a huge deal.

Solid game. Focuses more on the pure chaos of the series and less on the puzzle solving and platforming. If you love this series for the chaos and gunplay then try this out.
This game is perfect playing through it the one time. I tried doing a new game plus but the desire just wasn't there to do it.
This game is fantastic in almost every way, save a few glitches while climbing the colossi. Especially the final one as it was very janky.
It looks great, plays better then the original release and is just a really well told story.

I was worried this game would get old fast but it was anything but that. This game is just non-stop fun and every time you die or even finish a run, you feel like you've made progress. Combat is so much fun and every weapon forces you to adjust slightly with the way you play.
The music kicks ass, voice acting is solid and the art style is just delightful. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to try a rougelike, it doesn't get much better than this.

Every AAA developer take note, this is how you make a game. Released without any major issues and gives you 40-50 hours of fun. Loved this one just as much as GOW from 2018, almost went by too quick.

It's great fun and although it plays a lot more "modern" an not as chaotic as the first two, it offers some really fun set pieces. I like the change of setting but the story is weaker and not as gripping.
Overall a solid and entertaining action game.
