Bio
PSN: Yobyoni

My name’s Matt and I’m into pretty much every kind of game you can think of, but my favourites are probably survival horror and souls games.

I only started getting into retro games in the past year or 2, so I have a lot to catch up on!

Gross. Even if you excuse the massive problems with this games story, the gameplay (if you can even call it that) is so banal and lazy it’s insane. It struggles to even be a walking simulator. About 50% of the gameplay is walking, with the other 50% being standing doing nothing while overly long dialogue plays out. Sure, you do sometimes get a dialogue option, but it basically always falls into the category of “option a” and “option a, but slightly different”. It makes no impact on anything.

There’s plenty of good videos that can critique this games story better than I ever could, so I’m not going to bother with that. All I’ll say is that the writer had absolutely no idea about the subjects they were attempting to tackle, and also has zero clue how to write an interesting female character.

Solid return to form for COD. Actually does something different in terms of its mechanics, offering a super refined and clean new system that makes it feel pretty fresh.

Campaign was very strong as well, great setpieces, good writing and surprisingly atmospheric, also doesn't overstay its welcome. Very consistent in terms of its quality and has some high highs, like the 'Piccadilly' and 'Clean House' missions.

I can't really rate the multiplayer experience though, as it's pretty dead nowadays and I just don't really care about COD MPs anymore, but given how nice the mechanics feel, I can imagine it being decent when it first came out.

As someone who doesn’t like roguelikes all that much, I’m so surprised by how much fun this is. People weren’t lying in the slightest when they said it was addictive. I’ve pretty much been using all my free time over the past week just playing this.

The amount of rng might seem a bit annoying, but it makes it so every single run is completely different, keeping the game fresh constantly. Easily my favourite roguelike I’ve ever played, and will probably end up being my game of the year.
