With the potential this had it's absolutely amazing how badly they missed the mark with this game in almost every way. Be smarter than me and save your money from this horrendous experience.
Had a blast as I did with the original Spider-Man game from Insomniac, a strong continuation of the story and gameplay elements. The combat is still excellent and honestly gets more fun the more powerful you get.
Game flies by, feels like there is so much to do but took me 19 or so hours to beat 100%

This game was in that era of games from late 2000s to early 2010s where it plays great but is has a ugly greyish, brownish colour palette. It get's old after awhile.
But still I liked a lot about this game. The power progression from minimal to this ultra powered eletric god is, no pun inteded, an absolute blast.
Story is pretty standard but does have some nice twists but doesn't change all that much if you go the good or evil route. Very enjoyable, looking forward to getting to the sequel eventually.

Greatest RPG ever made. Nothing else comes close.
As I've gotten older my investment in the story has diminished quite a lot. However what makes this game so good is simply the combat, exploring levels, and collecting everything in sight.
The camera is at it's worst in this one but thankfully it's improved massively in future titles.

Critical mode is the bomb, it's made a brilliant game even better and less of a mindless hack and slash.
Excellent party game with a buddy or a group of friends. Challenges you in fun ways and requires constant communication and proper planning, but it stays fun even when things go wrong!
Never played the original release so can't compare them but overall I had a solid time. I love a good collect-a-thon platformer and this was pretty standard. Didn't blow me away but I can understand why this game had such a strong following.

It's fine. If you could block in some way that would add a lot to the combat but honestly it's decent a time, not really invested to finish it though.
This has been my go to game if I just want to relax after a long day. A real somber experience with the way it challenges death and reflecting on your life choices. I took great pleasure in all of the exploration, collecting, cooking, character interactions and keeping everyone happy. Although I will say some characters were a lot more interesting then others.
Felt a bit short but overall a good game. Takes elements from Dark Souls & God of War and puts a good spin on it. Best single player SW game since Force Unleashed.

I love P5 and this was a very solid follow-up/spin-off. Story doesn't go as hard as the original but just hanging with gang again was a blast.
Combat was pretty simple to get hang of but got veeeeeeery tedious while grinding for certain trophies. Just as a warning for anyone going for the platinum, it is a massive grind. Possibly 80+ hours like it was for me.

This game still slaps, had a real good time with it. Story was actually better then I remembered and kept me interested throughout.
This is as close you're going to get to a proper pirate adventure game, it has a lot of great elements that make it stand out. The loop of completing tasks, gaining more money, stronger weapons and upgrading your ship is excellent. Slowly taking over the map and getting rid of all enemy factions is another satisfying process which will take awhile. Something as simple as sailing the open seas, listening to your crew belt out various songs gives this game such character and atmosphere,
It still has some of the failings of the AC franchise however, melee combat is very simplistic and doesn't ever really challenge you. It's fun to take down endless amount of enemies with various moves but it does get tedious after a while, especially when you get stronger weapons. Still find the tailing missions not that fun, and they haven't changed that much since the first AC from 2007. Also did not enjoy the diving sections, found the swimming controls very off putting and it just made them very annoying to play through.
Ship combat is a blast (no pun intended), as it is chaotic and tense at times, especially if you risk taking on ships that are much more powerful than you for higher rewards. Swinging your way onto enemy ships, killing and looting is just such a thrill.
Highly recommend this game even if it has some of that AC jank that has stuck around for so many games. It's still a great package that offers a lot of exhilarating gameplay.

A solid RPG all around. The Tales of series is always quite solid in terms of gameplay and world building. Story was decent, nothing mindblowing. But I certainly had a great time doing almost everything the game had to offer.
I LOVE this game. Shame it's not been re-released in any way since it's initial release. A fun game which most LOTR fans would have a good time with.
