A good FPS shooter game.
Graphics was alright. Atmosphere is pretty spot-on, but I feel like most people won't like it because of the settings that requires a bleak atmosphere. Sound design did its job.
A very good level design with enough variety to keep players engaged. The enemy types also have somewhat of a variety.
Gameplay itself was alright but nothing special. That includes gunplay. The gas mask mechanics is a pretty good addition but that's about it.
Pacing is good and the game's not that difficult.
Story is okay, a very standard video game story in my opinion.
Overall, an okay game. Standard paced with good variety of level design and enemies. Good atmosphere that might deter player because of the intended bleak atmosphere of the settings. Overall gameplay was pretty alright with no specialties.

Amazing game. Graphics are absolutely gorgeous. The sound design is amazing and the atmosphere is stunning.
Gameplay is also amazing. Very fluid and very amazing control scheme (using controller). Pacing is also well done. No sense of the game dragging out. Enemy AI is very forgiving. Character progression is also very good, introducing new weapons in suitable manner. It almost like this game could have a little bit more content.
Display presentation is also very good visually. It didn't detract from the gameplay experience itself.
Story is decent. In terms of story presentation, though, the voice acting (English) could get some work.
Overall, this game is phenomenal with minor improvement can be done to the story presentation.

A very average game. The graphics was okay, it did what it did. They did nailed the atmosphere of the game. The sound design also did what it did, it didn't detract from the experience.
In my personal opinion, the gameplay itself is alright. Lack of HUD is very appreciated for immersion but sometimes it's very hard to keep track of what we have to do next. The pacing is kinda slow and some parts are a little bit dragged out. The ending is something else though (not slow).
The controls also not really intuitive in my personal opinion and sometimes it takes me out from the game.
The story is alright. I didn't really follow that much but I remember that I hated the main character.
Overall, the atmosphere of the game was done well. But it feels like there's a lot can be improved in certain aspects such as the controls, the pacing and the presentation.

First and foremost, the graphics are phenomenal. They did a really great job of nailing the modern Japan aesthetic in terms of atmosphere including sound design and music choice. They did what Yakuza did best.
Combat was alright. It was exciting but at times it'll feel repetitive. In terms of difficulty, some parts may felt difficult but should be alright with enough practice and preparation.
Story was alright. It didn't really connect with me because it was pretty isolated from the usual Yakuza lore. New characters also didn't really stick for me. But the introduction of new story angle away from the big names in the previous Yakuza games is appreciated.
Overall, graphics a beast but the story and combat isn't groundbreaking enough to call this a must play game.

One of the best horror game that I played. Perfectly nailed aesthetic. The graphics are decent enough to accommodate the game's overall aesthetic.
The level design is varied somewhat with different types of enemies and different strategies that are implemented on every single different level. These makes the game feels more exciting and makes it more of the on your toes experience.
Gameplay is quite engaging regardless of any type of approach. Gameplay progression is done amazingly, it always felt like there's no stagnant moment. The enemy AI is actually quite smart, I feel like there's no strategy to bypass a possible "dumb" AI because they behave unpredictably yet very realistic. The sound design to accompany the feel of the game is handled beautifully.
Although not the forefront of the game's intended focus, the animation of some of the game's small cutscene is quite awkward. Also the UI I think can be improved just a tad bit.
Overall, amazing game all the way, with some really really minor inconveniences in terms of UI and the animation.

It's a pretty solid Yakuza game. Gameplay elements are diversified and unlike anything that we have seen before in previous Yakuza games. Innovation is always a plus in all games of the Yakuza series.
The story is actually quite decent and the mystery that connects between each part are handled quite well. There's nothing really memorable regarding the substories that I can remember of, which is the essence of any Yakuza game.
Although the overall charm and aesthetic of the game feels a little bit lackluster despite the whole slew of new areas and maps available. The remastered graphics is quite okay, not much difference to 4 Remastered.
Overall, besides the new gameplay elements introduced in this game, the existing gameplay of Yakuza does not have anything to write home about.

Decent game if you just want to relax and game. A pure exploration game with no combat, this game excels in creating a beautiful oceanic themed world.
The gameplay itself is pretty repetitive. The level design very forgiving. Story is understandable but not that immersive. Unfortunately, the lack of polish, in terms of graphics and animations was felt throughout the game that may detract players from a more enjoyable experience.
Overall, this game does its job of being relaxing, but I feel like there could be tad more to make the gameplay more engaging.

Pretty much the same as Season One gameplay-wise. Although, the story elements and characters have some noticeable awkwardness in terms of plot execution in some sections. Overall, the game did a pretty good job in maintaining their themes and overarching story. The characters are still pretty entertaining here same as before, with an actual character arcs and development.
PS I want to see Julie Season 3 😂

A good story adventure game. Control are pretty decent during some sections. A couple of sections are lacking in controls. The gameplay as a whole is alright, some parts can be improved. The mixed 2d-3d graphics are surprisingly well implemented. Sound elements are very well put in certain sections. The story is actually surprisingly good and funny, seeing this is a comedy-centric story. The characters are pretty endearing, at least in this one season. Honestly, very surprised on how entertaining this game is as an adventure game. Lack of polish overall might be obvious in this game for some observant players.
A very good side-scrolling platformer game. Each levels are varied and able to keep players engaged. The visuals and fantasy world aesthetic are very good and in-tuned with the gameplay. Movement animation is nice. Character progression is nice throughout the game.

A very good stealth game. The story is pretty straight forward. The presentation of the UI is very in-tuned with the aesthetic of the game. Graphics might put some people off, it was alright for me. Probably aesthetic choice.
Gameplay is actually really really good fun, regardless of playstyle. The level design is quite alright, designed perfectly for any playstyle, encouraging playstyle experimentation. Level design is varied and unique between levels also.

What a game this is in terms of story. Players who love stories in games will appreciate this game much more. Gameplay-wise, the detailed movement might put some people off but it adds to the realism and connection between the players and player character. Each mission are heavily varied and able to keep the players engaged. All the characters in this game are very memorable. The graphics are godly. The world feels very alive. Super game.

Very very good game in terms of gameplay fluidity. Story is very intriguing and mysterious. Story objectives and mission structure are different enough from each other to make it not a slog to get through. In terms of combat though there maybe some elements of repetitiveness, but it's very slight. Graphics are godly and gel super well with the animation. Lot of thought put into the facial expressions animation during talking scenes, which is pretty cool.
2016
Very good game. Levels are well-designed. Although to be nitpicky, I'm not a fan that some of the compulsory items for the completion of the game to be too well-hidden and hard to find. Enemies are very good and fair. Aesthetic is on-point. Graphics and animation are fluid. Story a bit hard to follow but that's not the main juice of the game.
2019
A solid chill game. The 2d graphics and animation is very good in what it does. The controls sometimes can get a little iffy. Although pacing is noticeably slow, especially with the super dull gameplay loop. At least the rewards are very pleasing and makes the game slightly worth it. Very good game to wind down and chill.
