SilentBandicoot
An ugly game for the Xbox 360 with some performance issues here and there. It was okay but very forgettable and made worse by the fact that the previous 2 games in the series are really fun and memorable.

This was my first time finishing a Lego game and maybe the formula just isn't for me. I found the gameplay loop very boring.
The game boils down to the same repetitive puzzles over and over, then every other mission you unlock a new costume which unlocks a new puzzle to add to the repetitive mix. I imagine this formula may be slightly more interesting when it's with a fun license containing characters that you know like the other Lego games. I can't say I was overly excited when I unlocked the "fireman" or the "miner". Every time I unlocked a new character I unfortunately thought "Great, another boring puzzle to add to the mix."
I will say, the humour was really stupid but got a chuckle out of me at times. Also the end... I really did not expect such a wild final sequence with a great music score.

A decent game with good feeling gunplay. It allows you to just switch off and shoot some bad guys. Gibbing enemies feels good and there are some fun, interesting weapons thrown into the mix.
My biggest issues were with the quick time events and the blinding lens flares. I can appreciate that this is a product of it's time though and reminded me of playing Xbox 360 games back in the day.
The game is quite forgettable with a cliche story but I enjoyed my short time with it.

It had some interesting concepts with the Carnal Rage vs. Heroic stance, however both options were under-utilized and had their fair share of annoyances.
It definitely shows its age and comes with that classic licensed game funk. I believe I only got as much enjoyment out of as I did (ignoring multiple parts that brought on some minor rage) because my brother and I both challenged each other to play it through to the end.
Go in openminded with low expectations and high patience and you may get some fun out of it.

Decent little addition to the main game with an interesting enough story. It only takes a couple of hours to complete and is a good way to get some legendary gear as well.
This Assassin's Creed honestly surprised me. It probably helped that I played it so many years since its broken release, but I really enjoyed the time period, city, protagonist, and the climbing was my favourite of the series up until this point. I really appreciate that there are dedicated buttons while running for going up while parkouring or going down.
I had a lot of fun with it but I will admit I also avoided a lot of the content they throw in that feels like filler just to bloat the time spent with the game. The map is also insane with how full of collectibles it is. Sometimes I literally could not find the next main objective due to how full the map is with collectibles. It felt crazy even by Ubisoft standards.
