I was surprised how much I actually enjoyed this. Despite being a technical nightmare, it is a lot of fun. I also think it has a much more engaging and interesting story than Breath of the Wild. I think they should let Link talk already.

This is the game that everyone sold Breath of the Wild as. This is actually that immaculate super game that people said it was. It has a real story, it has a much vaster and more interesting world which makes the exploration feel more rewarding, it has better enemy variety, and most importantly, Link is the most breedable he's ever been. I have complaints, but none of them are big enough to bring the game down. There is still so much I haven't done that I want to, but my opinion is not going to change.

I have some problems with the gameplay, and I feel like the game drags in the middle a bit, but overall I think it's really great. The level design is mostly stellar and the story is really fun. Having your choices actually matter goes a long way. I really don't feel much towards the endings though, they all feel kinda abrupt and unsatisfying.

Despite thinking that it wasn't as good as the first, I was still having fun with this game up until you revisit Cairo. At that point the game falls apart. All of the story after this point just left me feeling hollow, and not in the fun way. None of the factions felt right siding with, and the option to just kill everybody felt even worse. That feeling led to all of the endings being incredibly unsatisfying. In the end, the world felt like it was in a worse place no matter what option was chosen. That can work, but feeling like the team was pushing you towards the Helios ending because that's where JC is, made me feel gross. You can say that they weren't doing that since everyone in the other factions is telling you that that is a bad idea, but it then proceeds to make those same factions all undoubtedly even more evil. I hated it and it left a really sour taste in my mouth.
Max Payne was incredibly well written, but the gameplay, while fun, tripped over itself in the final acts by attempting to be hard in unfun ways. Max Payne 2 fixes almost every gameplay problem I had with the first, while also telling a hauntingly beautiful tale of a man falling farther and farther down into the pit of self loathing, still blaming himself for the murder of his family. His relationship with Mona is as toxic as toxic gets, both of them using each other for their own gains, but underneath that you can feel that there is some sick form of love between them that leads to both of their downfalls. At the end, Max finally forgiving himself for what happened brought me to tears. This man has been through so much, and that final line just hit me in the gut. Sam Lake is one of the best writers in the industry.

I haven't had something emotionally affect me this much since I first watched Your Name when it came out in 2016. As I type this, it's been a couple hours and I'm still shaking.

After beating World Tour and putting a bunch of hours into online, I might as well just say that this is the best fighting game I've ever played. Not only is World Tour compelling and well put together, but the fighting itself just feels so fucking good, and I'm not even very good at it. I only have one character in silver and it's just because people don't know how to handle a Gief that only knows how to do an ex spd and nothing else. Hitting the buttons just feels so incredible.

A fun mix of classic and new Doom. More fun than the former, nowhere nearly as good as the latter, not that much could hope to be. All of the guns feel satisfying and the maps are fun to explore. The blood is a little much, sometimes it obscures the action.
Man, this game is just so much fun. Even if I don't think all the humor lands, and some missions are a bore, overall this is just such a fun game to play.
This game has a lot of problems that are obvious and hard to ignore, but it's so ambitious and it has heart and that is more important than just about anything else. Sonic is just fuckin cool, man.

I was looking forward to this game a lot and it actually managed to live up to my expectations. Incredibly tense and a lot of fun. Does a good job mixing the horrors of war and the actual fucked up monster trying to kill you. For how little you use them the guns actually feel really good.

The most 7th gen ass game I've ever played. The more I played this game, the angrier I got. The final boss is just a boss from fucking Fuse. There's potential for like a 6 or maybe a 7 in here, but fuckin whatever man. You can tell no one wanted to make it.

An incredible improvement over SA1. The music and story are both much better, and the gameplay feels a lot more polished. The space levels are the reason this isn't a 10.
I really loved this game. Its one of those games that felt like it was made for me. I have a couple small problems with the gameplay and I don't have much to say about the story, but overall its great. The soundtrack is incredible.
