Man, I loved this game so much. I'm a huge Evil Dead fan, and the build up to this game was more exciting than any other to me personally, the reveals of different characters from the franchise's history, the involvement of original cast, it all shaped up to be such a love letter to Evil Dead fans. Then when DLC came with content from the 2013 reboot, I thought it was fair to assume there would be new maps coming, content for Evil Dead Rise, etc. And then Saber just abandoned the game. They didn't even finish the full year of DLC that was promised. Honestly it sucks, the gameplay I feel was a great mix between your typical asymetrical horror game and resourceful shooters/horde survival. An extremely biased score from me but I played it so much, 100%'d etc. Groovy while it lasted.

This game has a lot of flaws (although credit because I remember when it had far, far worse balance issues) but, so long as you can let go of the idea that it is is competitive, it is so, so fun and I haven't really gotten bored of it in 6 years of playing. Of course I've taken breaks from it when less interested, but the constant content always brings me back. The gameplay loop is fun despite its frustrations, the art design is my favourite of any game in history, the lore behind everything is fascinating and developed, the licensed content is (mostly) adapted far better and with more love than any other game I've seen. I love this game and will be stuck on it for many more years I fear. I also think the future really looks bright for the game with the introduction of limited-time game-modes, and expansion into spin-off games. Not every chapter is perfect, and the game will never be perfect, but it's an amazing celebration of horror and deserves more credit for bringing so many aspects of the genre into one project for people to enjoy. Now make it free-to-play goddamn there is so much DLC.

I can't really explain what it is about these that I don't love. I remember enjoying when I played it, and I completed the dex and everything, but for some reason it just didn't stick with me. The new Pokémon are cool, the region is fine, and terrestrialization is a much better mechanic than I expected. But it's just forgettable to me, I didn't retain much about the story or content outside of certain cool mons. Maybe replaying I will enjoy them more, but nothing is really given to motivate a replay. I'm sure I'll revisit them at some point, I'm still excited for what's to come with Legends Z-A. Gen V remakes for Switch please.
