Is it just me or does David Hayter's voice sound kinda different in this game compared to the sequels?

I've come to grips with the fact that the story is kind of garbage. The real elements of worth here are the characters and the gameplay, excluding the combat and boss fights miraculously being worse than ever. If it had stuck to its tone in the first half, I could've considered it an easy 5 stars.

I've never felt more like a real detective in my entire life

On this playthrough, I let Barry and Chris die, and it was the most hilarious anticlimax I have ever seen.

Alan Wake is one of the greatest comedies in all of gaming!


Wait, it's a horror game?

This is the most fun I've had with a game in a year! Beautiful art direction, kick-ass combat and relentlessness gore and violence that you don't see anymore.

It's not a game that I necessarily recommend to anyone because it is hard as steel! Dying so much and constantly repeating boss fights is definitely a big flaw in the game's difficulty scaling but it's just a case of learning through trial and error. Now that the hard part is out of the way, I feel that I'm only going to enjoy this game more on my second playthrough.

Happy 10th anniversary, Spec Ops!

It should be considered a crime for a hack 'n slash to be this boring.

Did S.S. Rajamouli make these cutscenes?!

As much as this entry proudly stands above the mediocrity of later Lego games, it doesn't reach anywhere near the levels of The Complete Saga or even Lego Batman 1. There are occasional great moments that pay tribute to the films, like the catharsis of instantly drinking from the right cup in the knight's chamber, but the level design is really lacking at times and doesn't warrant a lot of replay value. In fact, it often feels like the game is coming up with great ideas for levels during cutscenes but then forgets to put them in. I mean, why are there no vehicle levels?

The Raiders of the Lost Ark levels are fine
The Temple of Doom segments are a ton of fun
The Last Crusade segments are an absolute chore to get through.

I find it weird to rank this higher than the original BioShock, because that game was far more interesting in the setting and the story. I just had a better time with Infinite because I was actually able to finish it without problems. The gunplay is much better and the story is easier to follow within gameplay.

That aside, it's great to see a sequel that can do something unique rather than just doing more of the same thing. It's still easily one of the best games of the last 15 years.

The brilliance of how it builds its own world and story out of what is nothing more than a tech demo. It's the kind of thing that video games were made for.

This has got to be one of the worst in the series. Maybe these graphics and controls were mind-blowing on the 3DS, but they look abhorrent when directly ported to consoles. My reliance on the dodge mechanic that refuses to work half the time got so bad at one point that I just had to give up.
