5 stars for the campaign
1 star for the multiplayer

Only real thing the NBA Live franchise had going for it in these later years was the ESPN/ABC presentation. The gameplay was what you would expect from the mid to late 2000s.

Quite possibly the most disappointing game of the PS4/Xbox One generation. Oh what could have been...

Great graphics but really poor arcade style gameplay that got stale after a couple weeks with only a dozen or so courses to play.

Still the best trailer for any video game, ever. Game ended up not quite living up to the hype, but it was still fun in spots.

Great graphics and fun, improved gameplay, but issues with servers and game crashes really ruin the experience at times.

Fun little walking simulator with a great post apocalyptic atmosphere. Can get frustrating at times if you don't know which way you're going during some sequences.

Solid poker game. Just wish there was a bit more customization on the character side other than about 4-5 faces and a handful of shirts and hairstyles. Kinda nit-picky, but would add a bit more to the fun factor imo.

Another fun entry from Playdead with some tricky puzzles and problem solving sequences. The last 10-15 minutes are wild.

Games take a long time to get through since you can't skip through any scenes or dialog. Kind of annoying tbh.

Game looks great and plays pretty well but the career mode really lacks. There is no character customization at all. You have to use a real life bowler in the career mode. Big missed opportunity there.

Is the price a bit steep for essentially graphical upgrades and some small quality of life improvements with no multiplayer? Sure. But if you don't want to pay that price, wait until it goes on sale. The game itself isn't somehow worse because of the price. It's still an all time great and has been improved in basically every way with some new trophies sprinkled in.

Incredibly faithful remaster of the originals. I'm just not into this arcade style as much as I was when I was a kid. Still a fun time though.

Campaign: 3.5
Multiplayer: 2.5

The campaign is well made but the story is a bit shoddy in spots. Not nearly as fun as the 2019 campaign, but multiplayer is slightly better. Had a rough first few months with numerous things missing though.
