If you were able to finish this game without a guide telling you where to go, props to you. Too bad I needed it
The game is also pretty meh overall, has a couple good moments, but basically wanted it to be over as soon as I got to the good MGS games

“A man chooses, a slave obeys”
One of the first games I ever played, and still to this day one of the best. Yeah it may be a nostalgia pick, but there are some things this game does better than anything else ever made
Firstly, the worldbuilding and overall setting and atmosphere is the most creative I’ve ever played, and the intro into Rapture still gives me chills every time I see it. Not to mention it has one of the best twists with Andrew Ryan. It’s subtle but ingenious political commentary and interactions with other characters create this extremely ethereal narrative experience that hasn’t been replicated
The enemies can be tanky and the final boss is kinda meh considering the buildup, but it isn’t a detriment to this game at all when you consider the positives outweighing the negatives
Please play it if you are into anything FPS related

The only reason I got into this game was because I wanted to kill people as Pyramid Head, but when I realized that it was a 4v1 and I was getting cooked every game, it became really irritating
Seriously if this game had an option to play with friends where we are both killers this game would be much more enjoyable. This game also kinda has the exact same issue that Destiny has where every non DBD game that comes out is labeled as the game’s killer when in reality nothing can actually touch it

This is another pure nostalgia pick, but I love this game a lot. It’s a definitive upgrade to the first in more ways than one, mainly characters and exploration of the main hub. The maps in this game are really fun and creative, and game modes like Garden Ops and Turf Takeover are addicting at times, even if they can be one sided

Enjoyed the sessions I had but the game overall had a hard time keeping my attention. Gameplay is pretty fun, with well designed parkour and puzzles that make you feel like a badass ninja, However, it has one of the most generic Cyberpunk story and dialogue ever conceived.
The golden rule of storytelling IMO is to never be able to anticipate what comes next, while having it still be compelling, and Ghostrunner didn’t succeed in that aspect. Maybe the second game will give me a better reason to replay instead of pure curiosity

The best RPG I have ever played. Packed with loads of content, and has a story and cast of characters that can go toe to toe with 99% of games out today. The entire 3rd semester is a highlight, and Maruki is the most compelling and interesting antagonists I’ve ever seen.
If I had a couple nitpicks I’ve picked up over the years knowing this game, the dialogue can be pretty unintentionally bad and not subtle, but it doesn’t happen very often. Also the lack of utilization of Kasumi, who is secretly one of my favorites despite her very limited screen time
It is the RPG to play if you haven’t touched the genre before, I hope it can stay that way over time

Let me state now the 5 star rating is my personal score, I UNDERSTAND THIS GAME IS PRETTY MEDIOCRE AT IT’S CURRENT STATE AND IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
With that said I do really love this game still. It is the closest thing to an abusive relationship a video game can have since Overwatch, but just like that game I have a lot of core memories with that I can’t simply just ignore. I’ve spent countless hours in LFG and clan servers churining out raid nights with friends. Raids and PvE in general is still extremely fun altogether. This game also has incredible art directions and music very few genres have been able to top. Calus and Rhulk are a few characters that wouldn’t be as popular for me without their credit from the art team
However I can understand why so many people turned on this game. Bungie has not been the most thorough with how they approached balancing this game towards playerbases. It was kinda always like this but it really started to show during the beginning era (Vanilla - Warmind) before Forsaken. The game has also had possobly the worst microtransaction evolution I’ve ever seen, to the point of pure lunacy. Also sunsetting whole entire plantets and activities like Leviathan was also a pretty poor decision on Bungie’s part
However, when it’s all said and done after TFS comes out and Bungie puts their resources into Marathon, I will look back on this game and say that I did have a blast with it. Deatiny 2 has gotten me through some really hard times and I appreciate it for being there, so it’s hard not to knack against it when I can for being dogshit. The game’s a mess but it’s a mess I can’t help but love
Don’t play PvP though that still sucks lol

My personal game of the 2020’s so far, I love this game with all my heart
Tartarus is way better and more interactive, the story still works emotionally even though I know what happens years after playing Portable, and the new VA cast does a fantastic job with what they we’re given
They took what was considered my favorite Persona narrative and gave it a visual overhaul to look like P5, it works in a lot of ways but fails in some in terms of charm, but that charm is almost impossible to replicate. Obviously there are some things that could be better but all my complaints are extremely nitpicks and not really worth digesting more paragraphs about.
I’d still say play P5R first but when you do eventually finish that, go immediately play this game, it’s well worth $70

I will forever be salty this and Doom Eternal had to go against TLOU2 at the Game Awards, this would’ve won every award IMO. The combat and cosmetic customization truly make you feel like the most badass samurai ever. The game also has a strong narrative and characters to boot. It feels like a movie in all the best ways
Overall solid story and some fun cases. Characters are suspects are also all interesting, but my main gripe is with the evidence hunting. It can be a little tediois depending on what exactly you’re looking for, and the formula for the game’s stories are pretty repetitive. However the last case makes up for a lot of the shortcomings, with von Karma and the entire DL-6 storyline. A good game from front to back

Please if you love your family or your wallet, don’t play this game. Quite possibly the most toxic environments I’ve ever played, the learning curve is abhorrently high, and every person that only plays this game is a demented masochist
2013
This game is amazing alone but 🐐’d with friends. The regular story mode is pretty good, and has one of my favorite performances in Steven Ogg as Trevor.
However where this game shines is the online. This game was my go to during the COVID lockouts. I have an ungodly amount of time doing Diamond Heist prep with friends at 4am where we all become retards.
Hopefully GTA 6 will live up to the hype

Fuck literally everything this game stands for. With the recent news of PVE being cancelled, there is legitimately no reason to come play this game again. Blizzard just keeps gutting this game every chance it gets and it’s horrifying to watch
2008
This is a pure nostalgia pick, but it was the first game I ever truly sat down and played. A lot of the games I played around this time were demos or really short story games, but I’ve put an unhealthy amount of time into this series as a whole partly due to this game. It’s just really addicting.
