The greatest compliment I can give this game is that I still play it in the background when talking to friends on Discord or just to relax. The swinging is the zenith of Spider-Man gameplay and it’s been honed to perfection by Insomniac. The story, characters, voice acting and gameplay are also amazing. My only problem with the game is the side quests - they feel very ‘gamey’ or boring with the player just collecting stuff.

The game kept me constantly engaged with the different Spider-Man gameplay styles. Noir is stealth, Ultimate is a dynasty type horde game mode, 2099 and Amazing are pretty similar though although 2099 has cool web wing sections. Also, bringing in a fan favourite/pre-existing voiced like Josh Keaton for the character was a great idea.

Fate is ruined my life. It will ruin yours too. If you want to learn anything more than what the game presents you with be prepared to die in the void that is the fate wiki. It has been almost 4 years since I got into this series and the Nasuverse lore is constantly expanding. From stuff with ORT to the Tsukihime remake my journey started here with this visual novel.
All that being said i love this series deeply.
Also, Saber is best girl and Deen Stay night is peak.

Great visuals and story - the world stands distinctly in between the Tsukihime and Fate Universe while utilising elements from both to create one of my favourite visual novels with a focus on magic. Aoko and Soujiro are great protagonists and never let the pacing feel stale.
The music is also amazing - if you don’t know any of the tracks listen to “Five” on YouTube and you’ll be blown away.
My only critique with the game is that I think parts of the middle section can feel a bit drawn out and I find the side characters outside of Alice (although I guess she is a main character) largely one note and uninteresting - making the school and menial elements of the narrative very boring as I wait for the detailed magic system and descriptions to take prescience which I find infinitely more interesting.
Overall, if you like visual novels you’ll love it, if you like theme you’ll like it, if you’re indifferent it will probably have a strong start and hook but then teeter off, and if you don’t like them this game won’t change your opinion on them. It isn’t a groudnbraking title that revolutionises the genre like Fate or danganronpa arguably did but it is a refinement of the formula which is a credit to the visual novel medium.

Nostalgia helps this game a lot for me. I remember enjoying the Kevin sections a lot but again in a series called Ben 10 I expect to play as 10 aliens even if it’s a limited form like a super/special move or for a specific boss fight only. But honestly I don’t really have much to say about this game - it has a story and the mechanics aren’t bad but if you didn’t play this when you were young it has nothing really memorable about it even as a Ben 10 fan.

Another Ben 10 video game. The Vilgax final boss was shit, my ass kept dying to him when I was younger in that narrow arena… that’s about it.

I remember nothing other than the fact that I am pretty sure this game has 10 aliens to play as which previous games did not. That alone makes this game peak!

Lego Batman but worse. It has a lot more to do but a lot less heart in level design and settings.

The gameplay, voice acting and level of power are everything I wanted in a Star Wars game. I played the game on the Wii and it was probably the first time I interacted with ‘Quick Time Events’ and shaking the remote which was really engaging the time - i heard that the Xbox version was better but I can only attest to my own experience. The characterisation is also one of the game’s strongest points with Sam Witwer doing an amazing job as convincing you - the player - at his conflicting internal state between the Light and Dark. This is supported by Ram Kota, the goat, bringing together an unforgettable Star Wars experience.

A short but really fun sequel. Also, for it’s time I remember the graphics being amazing - I can’t say that I don’t understand the criticism but I still found the story, gameplay and voice acting amazing: I just wanted more of it.

Man………. This game is such a complicated one; it gets a hard time due to no one’s fault but its own. That being said, what the game became; what it turned into was nothing short of amazing: I wish we could have seen more. The multiplayer was massive, with various heroes, units and vehicles and the game looked beautiful it was truly magical. To tell a story, I had been playing the game since launch but understand my my friends stopped playing the game after a while bedside of the initial lack of content and lot boxes but I stuck with it hoping for a change. Change this scale rarely happens in gaming: but it did. After waiting for a year I too was almost ready to give up but then I saw the announcement of Grievous and new context planned and slowly, one by one, my friends started coming back and when conquest came out we played for about a month straight: it’s a memory I will never forget. The campaign loses points for being predictable and rushed though.

Worse Spider-Man shattered dimensions. This game isn’t bad but it truly is Spider-Man’s potential guy with great concepts and Anti-Venom and that’s about the best I can say.

I don’t remember much about this game but me and my Dad loved playing it together and that is good enough for me.
