I don’t know why, but I decided to replay this game. Maybe it was to see if I should sell my copy of this game for Fire Emblem Three Houses. This game doesn’t know whether it wants to be lighthearted or have a dark tone. For example, the scene where Sonic “dies” is dark, but even after, he continues to make jokes. Which reminds me, if you’re going to spend the first few minutes trying to make me believe that Sonic is dead, don’t tell me right after that he’s actually alive. The level design is a straight line throughout all 30 levels. Each level can be beaten in 2 minutes. I was so disinterested with the story that I kept skipping cutscenes. If you’re going to shove 2D sections into Sonic and the OC’s stages, may as well not include Classic Sonic.

But I do have some positives, like the soundtrack actually being pretty decent, or how the graphics are actually pretty good. But that does not save this piece of crap game.

Still excited to play Mania.

First Impressions (didn’t pay for it my brother is a fan of this series so him buying it was an inevitablity)




Meh.


Literally nothing special. Nothing to it. Story’s meh, gameplay is nothing special, but reload animations are solid.



Also wtf the sound design on PS5 is so bad, there was literally no audio from characters for the first few cutscenes and the slide audio sounds compressed

I bought Violet but just wanted to share a funny story.



Back in around 2015-2017 my dad had this idea of a Pokemon game called Pokemon Scarlet with hyper realistic gore and pokemon getting decapitated and dying, etc etc and it was really funny.



Fast forward to buying the game on the 22nd, I had completely forgotten about it, then when I arrived home my dad reminded me about it.



As for the game itself, framerate aside it’s actually really good so far. Best mainline series game since Gen 5 quite possibly. I honestly haven’t encountered too many bugs so far, maybe I’m just really lucky though

Holy. Fucking. Shit.



I’m speechless.


Fucking speechless






(Full review coming up)

You get to fight a steak.








And because of that, this game is automatically flawless.

Campaign: 9/10. One of the best COD campaigns yet, though it can’t live up to the quality of MW trilogy’s campaigns, it’s still a really great campaign that is really good at showing the horrors of war. The characters are great, and the level design is just as good. Fuck how they tried to swap the countries involved in the Highway of Death though.


Multiplayer: 7.7/10 Pretty good multiplayer, but fuck the skill based matchmaking. The map design is a mix of really good and pretty bad elements. The gunfight game mode is also a great new addition.


Co-Op only played survival so can’t really say



OVERALL:
COD Modern Warfare 2019 is the revival the series needed and Warzone helped pull people back into the franchise, so there’s that, and overall I can see myself coming back to it from time to time.



Also Activision, fuck you for making Warzone the focus to the point of the start of the credits being Warzone’s logo. Also that one time an update happened so I had to reinstall some stupid packs.
