Indies have been churning out half-assed metroidvanias on a production line for a decade and it only took one Metroid to remind people what a good one looks like

50% chill and comfy vibes, 50% digging up where the world's most esoteric feng shui practitioner would place a roll of gift paper because the game doesn't let you proceed otherwise. $20 for 4 hours of this is also kinda lame

People bring up Joss Whedon's quipping these days as a catch-all complaint against a lot of stuff that doesn't really deserve it but the Weapon AI's entire script is actually the most insufferable MCU parody-tier shit I've heard in my life. "I'm calling them flying octopus monkeys!" Oh do they also narwhal bacon at midnight? Give me a fucking break

I love how genuinely nasty this is for a AAA release in 2017; in one game you get your hand chopped by a chainsaw in first person, fist a dead guy's neckhole, watch a crackhead rip his nails off and shoot a half-naked grandma's bulging beehive crotch inbetween moments of listening to her give birth to a swarm of locusts. There's something beautiful in the fact that under all the Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw inspiration, Biohazard makes room for its own irreverence as one of the filthiest games you'll ever play from a high-budget studio production.
I don't have much to add to the gameplay discussion that hasn't been said yet. I guess the last third was not nearly as bad as people build it up to be, it's decently short and functions well enough as a climax. Hope nothing bad happens to the Winters family after this kooky quest!

Guy who thinks his 2006 Battleguard beatdown deck is an adequate representation of "good old Yugioh" and pretends new mechanics don't exist: "the turns are long and I'm losing, rip my childhood 0/5"

This used to be a good game I couldn't recommend due to being the most unoptimized thing I've played in my life but they seem to have fixed the microstuttering so now it's probably in the top 3 Sam games (which I'm sure doesn't mean much to a lot of people but there you go). It's short but replayable, really well-paced, and has the best final boss since The Second Encounter even though it's just Senator Armstrong and Minos Prime crammed into one guy. I don't know why it took them so long to just make a final boss that's a guy you shoot until he dies but thanks! I will say the writing got worse since 4 because 90% of the """humor""" in this one is just puns straight off Page 1 of Google but thankfully you can just turn the dialogue off if you feel you're starting to go insane.

Anyway good job new team! This series is now officially a bit less embarrassing to recommend to people

Good game but it would be better if it was about two happily married gay dudes and some asshole magic book that just decided to fuck with them for no reason

one of the fucking games ever

Shoutouts to Kraz Muehler the worst character design of all time

I don't remember if this was good or not and I can't be assed to replay it to check but holy shit remember the club shootout scene that had a Miku ripoff blasting in the OST? Maybe video games can be art

I will never forgive Nintentubers for convincing my stupid kid self into thinking this game was a masterpiece

Turning GG into a stripped-down Street Fighter clone is bad enough but the real tragedy is that thousands of goobers who never listened to anything but video game music got gaslit into believing this is a good soundtrack

I can't rate this. It's a magical initial 20 hours, followed by a slow petering out with insane zigzags in quality near the end. It's a gorgeous world and you can find adventure in any direction you go, but the rewards start feeling less and less substantial the further you are, especially when you realize how unbalanced and contrived some of the underlying stat systems are. For everything enjoyable here, there's something annoying or detrimental to the experience. I really want to love it, but there's too many forks in the road for me to remember it as the studio's masterwork (the way most people seem to be treating it).

But enough about Breath of the Wild,
