Gears 5 is a good Gears game, but not a GREAT one, in my opinion. The semi-open-world/rpg elements added to the game felt a bit unnecessary and slow for me. The greatest moments in the game lies in the linear chaotic bloody masterpiece that Gears is well known for. Thankfully, the story is amazingly heartbreaking, the characters are still great and the action, despite its misteps, still feel top notch. One other bad thing, I experienced plenty of slowdowns and bugs in the performance. Nothing extremely gamebreaking, but painfully annoying.

This is one of the best first person shooters i've ever played.

It's fast-paced, brutal, beautiful, challenging and filled with character. It's a kick in the face of almost every other modern fps. I can't recommend it enough. Weapon variety is great, enemies are menacing as ever, levels are easy to traverse through and the feeling of finding a well-hidden secret or puling a nice kill, is just unmatched.

Sure, the level design ain't THAT great. There's a lot of repetition going on and the story, well... What story? But its mistakes are minimal.

If you do play it, play it on hard, but becareful! It's tough as hell and its checkpoints are, at times, pretty unforgiven.

Good luck.

I thought I would enjoy this game more than I did. The game is beautiful and the story is nice, but I can't shake the feeling that everything in it is very clunky and unpolished. The combat and exploration is sort of fun, but I've experienced too many bugs and poor performance issues to actually call it good. And while the story was entertaining and original, the final scene kinda killed the whole purpose of the game. Overrall it's an 'ok' game, with a fine set of characters and planets, but a very messy gameplay. BD-1 is my new favorite droid, though!

Control's very unique story, environments, battle system and atmosphere build an incredible game. This is a game that I can easily recommend to any action game fan. Even if you don't pay attention to it's ominous weird story and characters, you'll still get the most out of its gameplay and presentation. AND MY GOD, THE ART DIRECTION HERE IS JAW DROPPING! Control's only mistakes are found in its unforgiving checkpoints, poor performance issues, lack of variety towards the ending and the shallow story conclusion. Nothing game breaking, but I felt like its faults kept it from being epic or even more memorable than it is.

This is game is the definition of boring. But I'll start with the good things.
. Its design basically made walking fun (for the most part).
. The soundtrack is pretty. Not great, but it packs a nice punch.
. The story is deep and emotional, characters are memorable and everything just feels genuinely original.
. Despite its flaws, the story kept me going and curiosity got me hooked, but I couldn't wait to see the end of it.

As for the bad things... Well, all the rest.
. The gameplay loop starts decent and fun, but ultimately overstays its welcome and becomes overly dull and repetitive.
. The story is great and unique, but MY GOD it is convoluted and tiresome!
. Why does it need to repeat the same cutscenes and messages again and again? It should skip it automatically.
. TOO MANY TUTORIALS! TOO MANY THINGS ON SCREEN! TOO MANY USELESS NEW ITEMS! JUST LET ME FUCKING WALK!
. Unrewarding long and unnecessary sidequests.
. Bosses are a joke.
. From the UI to the information displayed throughout the game, everything just feels... Messy.

Kojima, I still think you're a genius, but you missed the mark with this one, buddy.

I wasn't expecting one of the best in the series, but DAMN! This game certainly carries the atmosphere that the first game has, but it fails on so many other things. No Item boxes, frustrating "carry or leave" item design, less space for items, bullet sponge enemies, nonsensical plot (timeline-wise) and unnecessary dull backtracking moments.

What's up with the story? Resident Evil always had a "b-movie" vibe going on, but this is Z-tier anime **** Also, Billy sucks as a character and Rebecca's development in this game is 100% ruined by her original appearance. And I won't even talk about the mansion. It's TOO MUCH alike Spencer's! It shouldn't exist and the game should just take place on the train/forest.

Overall, the only thing that "saves" this game is the classic feeling it packs. Bosses are good, pre-rendered graphics are nice, puzzles are solid and it gets you TENSE as hell! Very weak replay value, though. I can only recommend it for hardcore fans of the series. If you're not, stay away from it.

This is my 2nd favorite Final Fantasy and this was the 3rd time I've finished it. It's still a classic. Everything about this game is amazing. The story, the battle system, characters and the witty writing. Hard to point out nay flaws. The ost is one of the best in the series and the open world is just amazing. Even the side-quests are very good, albeit too long. I also like the fact that you can beat the game without grinding, as long as you're well equipped and with the right abilities. This game is just perfect and probably one of the best starting points, in case you want to get into the series. Also, the Switch version is alright. Not better than the PS1 version, but it's just fine. There are no bad ways to experiencing this incredible epic.

This is a fun and challenging game, but ultimately flawed. The combat system shines, but gets very repetitive. Also, the camera sucks and the game absolutely needed a dedicated defense or dodge button. The item system is also mess. If you run out of lives, you're basically screwed in some boss fights. Boss fights are good, but nothing really made me care about the characters. Actually, nothing really made me care about the story. I do like the use of the MG franchise here, but it's sad to see such a flawed game as something canon. And the soundtrack is just pure cringe. In the end this can be a fun and challenging game to pass your time, due to the combat being cool, but its flaws makes it hard for me to recommend it to anyone. Even to MGS fans.
