A game I don't think will hit the same for everyone but one that hits some people's spot HARD, the world of animal well is one of small discoveries and slow exploration in which the youre given the freedom to just tinker and just play with the items and abilities you have and the game just sometimes rewards you for that its so satisfying and cool man

the items have progressing depth that slowly reveal the layers of heaven senses that await through the level design, play this game if you think you will like it cause you will

A pleasant but challenging game. I refuse to believe that kids defeated this back in the day without some sort of guide. I was more lost on this at times than on soulslikes, but I had a good time, and the milkman sequence caught me off guard It was quite entertaining, and it told a more truthful story about mental health than you usually see in games. The drawbacks for me were that some of the bosses were underwhelming to fight, particularly the last boss. Definitely worth playing if you have patience, One of the best 3D platformers on the PS2 that is often overlooked in favour of Crash bandicoot, Spyro, Jak and Daxter

I'm not the biggest metroidvania fan, I normally get burned out playing them, but this maintained my attention the whole way through, the last section is really damn intense! I'm not going to give any spoilers since I believe it's best if people walk in blind! The puzzles are largely straightforward if you stand still and think about them, but they can have some severe difficulty spikes in certain portions. The only negative aspects I can think of are that the ladder can be awkward to climb at times, and the spikes are difficult to see when doing platform jumping with the bubble! The jumping felt fluid and smooth and the world's colours and animal designs were fantastic. the game rewards discoverability with cool items to progress the map, The boss battles were enjoyable and some were even creepy! This is my favourite game of the year so far, which I was not expecting to say when I started playing it. It makes me want to play other greats of the genre, which is the highest compliment I can give it.

4.3/5

Overall better than its predecessors. I really enjoyed the game and story. Its pretty epic though at times i couldn't follow why certain things were happening. It may be that i dont know the venom lore as much as other comic book fans. Venom was doing some things i didn't even think were possible. Overall venom was a great Villan and he delivered. The hunter was a dumb villan, i think his powers are explaiend maybe in 1 line in the whole game. I had to look it up to know why he was so powerful.

I feel like some villians show up especially at the beginning of the game and i HONESTLY completely forgot what happened to them because they never appear after or are tied to venmon story line. Once the venom story kicks into gear everything takes a back seat including previous enemies you fought.

definitely worth playing! Not sure if i will 100% it though. Too many other games to play and too little time.

My GOTY of 2023 so far. Truly what an amazing ride this game has taken me on through the Talos 1 station, and I would gladly wipe my memory of this game if I could. The story, being pieced together by audio recordings and encounters with surviving crewmates, is pretty by-the-numbers, but still satisfying to see through to the end. I do feel like the ending took some agency away from the player, with the end result being pre-determined in terms of plotline and what ends up happening. Gameplay was crazy good, the weapons were all fun to use and the Typhon Neuromods added a slew of methods to fix any given problem. Exploration was key mainly for the ability to "pack rat" everything and break it all down into raw materials to make things you actually need, but I did feel like the lobby was invaded too many times for it's own good. The OST is mainly ambient and nothing to write home about, with the exception of ONE song that you will know when you hear it. As for the graphics, I suppose that they were average for their generation, nothing looked particularly great nor did anything stick out like a sore thumb. Lastly, the game does still possess quite a few bugs and glitches, with one major instance locking me out of completing a side quest just because a specific item wasn't dropped. I had so much fun and wonder with the gameplay and some of the characters I heard about, but in the name of objectivity, I must deduct two stars for a variety of reasons I've already outlined. TL;DR, If you want to play something by Arkane that isn't their latest disaster or their best game, Dishonored, I would suggest this game to you for sure.

As my first time playing a Fallout game, this was a fun experience that sucked me into playing hours at a time, though the experience wasn't flawless. The story did a good job of getting me to care about the main character and his/her quest to find their missing son after witnessing his kidnapping. The gameplay had satisfying gunplay, and I abused the heck out of the VATS system. Open world and perks reminded me of a slightly more modern Skyrim, but the crumbling buildings and ruined highways don't really give the same environmental atmosphere that Skyrim did. After a while, it frankly started to feel very samey as you cleared out more areas of enemies. Some quests were better written than others, and I did have a few bugs jump into my game, though nothing major. I enjoyed this game a lot, and probably would replay it in the future with mods to make things more interesting.
