decent, not really a fan of the new added mechanics and rebalancing, story is aight
had more fun with the remakes of older missions and expanded lore on AC1 personally, but that might just be bias since I really love the first gen

perhaps once I was harsh towards you, but in hindsight you were aight, just maybe not what I wanted out of an AC sequel
on it's own terms it's a decent pvp game with a Fine campaign

not half bad pvp wise and the campaign was decent as well, definetly a step up from V
this game fucking rules despite it's shortcomings and flaws from being straight up unfinished, and the ending is up there for me in terms of being impactful and meaningful, absolutely not for everyone but I love it regardless
fantasic rpg with questionable story choices the closer to the finale you get
cast of supporting characters is too big to give everyone a satisfying end and falls short of Yakuza 5's ability to wrap up a large complex story, IW feels like it manages to wrap up it's core ideas but doesn't know what to do with loose plot threads or just straight up forgot until last minute
having liked Gaiden's story especially was disappointing with how comnected characters were handled, you can tell Gaiden was made After this
overall I still loved my time with it and enjoyed the story for the most part, it just feels more like a middle entry of a trilogy than it's own thing with a satisfying end imo

crap remaster of two peak games that fucks up the physics and feels sauceless asf
the designers for this need a death penalty
sauceless P1 with worse soundtrack and exclusive bugs not present in original
2024
until the performance gets fixed up, this is a potential 10/10 and surpasses the original in almost every single way
excellent bossfights and an entertaining story held back by frankly mediocre level design and generic grunts that barely fight back, other Platinum games have done a better job at balancing good combat with good level design before and after this one, it's also far from even the best Metal Gear entry, it's not even close
2023
unironically one of the best 3D collectathon platformers i've ever played and it only cost me like 5 bucks
