An absolute monster of a videogame.
The main story is very well made with an exceptional cast of characters, and the writing is fantastic, everything in the game has depth to it.

The amount of content is absolutely ridiculous, at first you might get overwhelmed by all the activities the game throws at you, but exploring the map and doing side quests is definitely worth it, this game has perhaps the best side quests I've ever experienced, and the quest design is phenomenal.

The dialogue options are groundbreaking, almost every quest has different outcomes and interactions, it's insane. Your actions have consequences and if you're not careful, you can miss entire questlines that can alter your entire experience with the game.

Also I think it's worth mentioning how beautiful the soundtrack is, it's pretty much one of the highlights of the game and really sets the tone perfectly.

It's an all-around solid game, it does almost everything very well, except from the gameplay which is a little bit clunky so you'll have to get used to it.
The biggest problem I have with the game personally is the amount of filler and padding in the first half of the story, it's a slow burn and takes too long for the pacing to get good, however, even when it's slow, it's still great and has so many things to offer.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt achieved the impossible, it's unbelievable how a small Polish studio managed to create a remarkable videogame like this one.

Final Rating: "Masterpiece" ~ 10/10.

A real cinnamon roll of a video game. Tearaway: Unfolded welcomes you into their home and makes you a cup of tea. Great hospitality and pleasant experience.

I was let down by this game when I first played it on XBOX 360. I can remember it running really poorly on the hardware and it soured my first impression. Now, I fully completed it on PS4. Its not much better in performance but it was bearable.

My expectations got the best of me because I believed The Evil Within would have been on the same prestige as Resident Evil 4 or Dead Space, and it just wasn't.

The platinum trophy is very difficult because you have to complete the game on the One Hit, You Die mode called AKUMU.

A rough start, but maybe the sequel is better?

Dodgeball Academia shows you what school would be like if it was cool and valued the game of dodgeball a bit too much.

Played this through PS Plus Extra and it was a real treat! Very simple, easy game with endearing characters. Nice game that would probably be your best friend.

Downwell thinks you can't beat the game. With enough perseverance, you can prove it wrong. Very arcade'y. The game expects you to complete the game on HARD mode after completing it, but I got a bit tired of playing it.

After many years, I returned Down the Well and got the platinum trophy. It was honestly just alright. Very challenging and impressive platinum to achieve.

Not sure what I was getting myself into with The Gardens Between, and it turned out that its nothing to write home about. Simple puzzle game, interesting mechanics, laid on with a hammy story about characters you don't care for.

My teenage co-op game of choice, until Borderlands 2 released lol. Very nice to revisit this game on PS4 and playing co-op with my girlfriend. The game did show rough points that clearly needed ironing out and it made me better appreciate Borderlands 2.

Very interesting anime fighting game. Played through PS Plus Extra and enjoyed learning all the different characters. The majority of the time I was playing single player to mess around and achieve the platinum trophy. Only played a bit of online. Maybe I would have a different opinion if I played more online and competed at offline events? Still, a solid game worth checking out.
