RE5 is a weird one for me as I spent as much time enjoying it as I did getting very annoyed with it.

It's safe to say the game has not aged well. The gameplay is clunky as hell and quite frustrating at times. Sheeva is a decent new character but her AI also did my head in. I would place a few proximity bombs and she would just start picking them all up! When she wasn't doing that she was either in my way or shooting me. I also really hated the saving system in the game. You barely ever got checkpoints so I ended up redoing so many sections of the game which is part the reason it took me a bit to finish. That said, the combat was fun at times and I found myself becoming quite fond of the stun rod!

As for the story of the game, it feels like a missed oppurtunity. You spend most of the game looking for Jill which is cool but I feel like everything starts happening too late on in the game. Wesker shows up way too late and with him being such a cool villian it just feels like a waste that he is only in the last segment. The first 4 chapters just felt like they were just prolonged build up with not too much happening.

When it comes to the tone of RE5, it seems to fully embrace its silliness but I feel like it doesn't work the same way it does in RE4. RE4 has you laughing at how cheesy and over the top it could be where as this had me rolling my eyes the majority of the time. Everything was over the top but it no longer feels self aware and actually felt like it was supposed to be cool. A prime example of this would be the cutscenes. One instance that I did find quite funny though is Chris having to perform a combo on a boulder to create a path for Sheeva, that made me piss myself.

For quite a negative (and lengthy) review I have given quite a high score. Now don't get me wrong, I did like this game. I think it is overall ok and I had quite a bit of fun with it. My issue is that a lot about this game really frustrated me as I believe it could have been so much better so that is all I really have to talk about.

I enjoyed elements of this game but as a whole it overly medicore.

I was a bit bummed that I got the bad ending but in all honesty the choice that decides it is stupid. What I will praise this game for is that Barry is great, and the atmosphere and design of the enemies and environments are briilantly disturbing which is exactly what Resident Evil should be.

What I don't like about this game mainly is the gameplay. I found the partner mechanic to be tedious and dull. This wasn't helped by how much this game drags. It is way longer than it needs to be and the story isn't interesting enough for it to drag out like it does.

This is a fairly negative review and don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this game at times hence the decent rating. It is just the things I didn't like really frustrated me hence why I mainly talk about them. I see this as a very low 3 as I feel 2.5 would be too harsh. I have the DLC but have no real interest in playing it.

So I have played the og version of the game one time many years ago, and decided to give to give it another go.

I had always thought that the remaster of this game was lowkey ugly so wanted to fully experience the orignal experience, and I have to say it is so much better. The remaster manages to ruin a lot of what this game has in terms of atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, it has some improvements but just made everything too blocky and somehow made the flood missions less ominous. I would give the game higher but it can be fairly broken at times which is both funny but also rather frustrating.

Overall, the original version is a much better game from many aspects, and will probaly be how I replay the game from now on after having such a good experience with it.

This is the one Halo game that each time I replay it, I start to appreciate it more.

I may not be the biggest fan of the multiplayer, the brute design or armour lock but damn will I say this is a mastepiece nevertheless. This game encapsulates the tone of hopelessness perfectly and tells such a tragic tale in the best way possible. Every mission feels like a suicide mission or a lost cause which is exactly how the Fall of Reach should be depicted. This game makes the Covenant feel like more of a threat than any other Halo game.

The soundtrack is incredible and the characters are all so likeable. I also think Spartan IIIs may be my favourite spartans as their design is unmatched.

So it has taken me exactly 2 months to finish this game and I have quite a bit to say.

To start, I just want to say I cannot believe the state this game was released in. My game would constantly crash making it impossible to progress and ontop of that I wasn't able to do the bounty hunting missions till I was 3/4 through the game as they did not work for me until the patch was released.

Now a lot of the stuff I mentioned was really holding this game back for me but I am able to look past all that due to what an absolute near masterpiece this is. The game looks and plays incredibly. The combat is amazing and there is a lot of variation. I did find this easier than the last game so I had to put the difficulty up to Jedi Master to spice things up a bit. As for the story, it has a very weak start but holy shit the last act really saves the entire narrative. The final act of the game was just incredible and managed to push this up by 0.5 stars for me.

Overall, minus the state of the game at launch this game is a must play. It has a lot of moments that warmed my heart as well as a few moments that made me tear up. It's safe to say I am very excited to see how Respawn conclude this trilogy.
