In Silent Hill: The Short Message you play as a young Mia Khalifa who has some serious mental issues and is on the brink of committing suicide. However when she gets a text from her bestie "Hey, wanna go shopping tomorrow?" her life turns around and all those negative thoughts go away(including the child abuse). The end.

Ok but on a real note: I thought it was ok, I didn't hate my time with it. It has the foundation of being something better and has some suspense but not a lot. The overall theme is good on paper but fails to deliver any kind of impact due to it's poor execution. That last part in the maze where you collect pictures is really bad designed but luckily I got through it quickly. The ending is just laughably ridiculous too. I mean look it's free and there's some quality there, just don't expect too much.

Waw, this DLC is way better than the base game imo. It's by far the most beautiful and detailed area in the game, the atmosphere here is as thick as the snow you will encounter. And don't get me started on the snow mechanics. Love it.

The other highlights are the sidequests, they're really interesting, fun and have a decent length to them. You also have some new machines which are cool like the Frostclaw/Fireclaw(which is a bear and I love bears, yes I'm biased fy) and the Scorchers.

The main story is also just smaller in scale because it's a DLC but it compliments it really well, it adds to the exisiting story/universe and I had a good time with it. I can almost guarantee you that if you didn't like Zero Dawn by itself you most definitely will like or even love the Frozen Wilds DLC. Just a great DLC all around.

Now fingers crossed that Guerilla Games keeps up this level of quality through Forbidden West and it's DLC Burning Shores.

"I had to defend my Max Payne rating in a backloggd review, it was the worst thing I could think of."

Disclaimer: I have no nostalgia for this game, it's my first time playing it.

It's a good game but it sometimes got annoying how quick you would die(sure you can quick load but still), especially the last level was horrible in this aspect. It really dragged the whole experience down a bit for me. Otherwise it's just a plain old fun little video game with time bending mechanics. Gameplay felt good for the most part and most of the levels are neatly designed. New games just don't have this feel anymore you feel me? (reminds me a bit of Half-Life or FEAR in a way.) Loved the graphic novel take on the story and Max's comments on everything. One of my favorite quotes has got to be "Punchinello was burning to get me, the feeling was mutual. He was trying to put out my flames with gasoline."

I'm definitely excited to see what they will do with the remake.

This one is really hard to rate because it has certain parts that are very good and other parts that are just boring or keeping the game back. I wasn't a big fan of the story or most of the characters(Aloy is just so safe and bland at times that it's a shame) but I liked exploring the world and going for the collectibles. There were some fun missions like the Ridge defense and fun sidequests. Not to mention the cool animal/dino robots, by far the biggest strength of the game next to the combat. I would say this is a mixed bag and it feels like a generic rpg but it has its moments. However the potential is there and i'm excited to see what the Frozen Wilds DLC and Forbidden West sequel bring to the table.

I'm honestly surprised how fun this game was with a friend. Don't get me wrong, I've always been a big fan of the first one, replayed it a few times too. My concern was more because of the development hell and long development time this game had.

After getting the platinum trophy on it however I can tell you this is a certified good zombie game and a fun co-op experience. Loved the areas and the attention to detail they had, game had some good humor too. Combat feels good and I have to praise the maiming system in this, it's fucking incredible. Probably the most detailed gore I have seen to date. I also really liked exploring the worlds and doing the sidequests but my god there are many locked containers(maybe a little too much). Oh yeah the co-op works flawlessly, no issues, all players carry over their progression and stuff after a co-op session and so on. It's great!

Now for some things I didn't like: I wasn't the biggest fan of the new skillcard system, some cards had a bad trade-off(i'm looking at you autophage cards) and you just have too few cardslots I feel like. A normal skilltree would have been better imo. I also HATE and I mean HATE how few ammo and medkits your character can carry, it feels like im running out every two minutes or so, so yeah some inventory upgrades would have been nice, they could have implented this in the skillcard system. Also zombies keep spawning everywhere ALL the time, sometimes this is a good thing but most times this just annoyed me. Lastly they just kinda ripped of the "Fury" thing from Dying Light 2 where u become an unstoppable cracked out zombie(There's always a bigger fish right).
