lol it’s wild how much I remembered this having a proper story, it’s genuinely just “kill Ares” and then a big (good) infodump at the end
Found this really annoying to play in 2022, I don’t think I understood the combat and just spammed the L1+Square spin move the whole time. The checkpoints are really bad at times and some of the puzzles are very annoying.
Still worth playing imo but I just remember it being so much better! Might be due to playing most of it on a Steam Deck while watching movies etc but I felt like at times I had no clue what the actual goal of each little area was. Really eager to try out 2 and 3 again to see what improvements they made.

Fun game to play over Christmas but imo its just a worse version of Overcooked/Moving Out etc. Has some really bad input lag on the buttons too which makes it very non newbie friendly sadly
Truly the definition of an Ok game
That final boss really is something huh!
2009
Very similar to the first game with the very minimal plot and some bad checkpoints but overall still quite fun!
I feel like they improved the combat a lot here between games.

Can really tell the budget increased between the 2 games. Looks really good most of the time and imo it improved on it in every way. Sadly didn't get into the story as much as everyone who raves about it did but I really enjoyed my time with this.

Thought playing with a controller would be annoying but this game is bafflingly good. It's now my most played game on Backloggd (by 40 hours) and I'm genuinely excited to go back for the FF7 DLC.
This is just a really standard picross game that advertises itself as innovative but it's just fine. Good podcast game but was expecting much more.

Only just played this now but this is basically just Resident Evil 2 Remake if the gameplay was actually thoughtful. Other than some specific beats I didn't really care for the story but this looks and feels amazing to play.
Also I dunno if it was like this in the original but the sound design is next level.

I haven't actually rated/review anything in ages so I have a huge backlog of finished games so apologies for spam buuuuut
I finally got the platinum in this! After playing it like 3 or 4 times I finally just committed and the games very good! I've never played the original so can't speak to how they messed up the hitboxes but it's a good length and has a really good trophy list too.
The bosses are a bit naff though.

Yeah I dunno, the traversal is alright once you've fully unlocked everything and the combat opens up quite a lot too. Ticking off the magic upgrades is quite satisfying if you have a broken brain like me.
But other than that it's... not great. After having fun with the bad (but also funny) dialogue at the start I just started skipping cutscenes. Don't even know why I got the Platinum in it tbf.
Also as I'm writing this I just saw there's DLC out today... good luck to them I suppose.

I mean honestly it's just another WWE game... it's good like last year! Really enjoyed the male MyRise and thought the female one was a bit of a miss. WarGames is a nice addition but honestly pretty messy
The trophy list is a lot less grindy than 2k22!

Still massively prefer this to the original, basically just a cut down streamlined version with improved combat.
There's a pretty similar parallel here between the movies and games. Spider-Man 2018 (MCU) has all the stuff you're expecting. With Doc Ock, Scorpion, Vulture, a Green Goblin/Venom Tease for the future etc. And the game feels larger than life.
Whereas in this game (ITSV) is a smaller more contained story (I know ITSV literally has the multiverse but c'mon, one of them is a Pig) but it's just done so perfectly. Genuinely don't have a bad thing to say about it!
I just started my Youtube channel and wanted to make a video getting the Platinum in this but I already have the Platinum for the PS4 and PS5 versions on my main account. So I [made a new PSN account and speedran the platinum. I ended up doing pretty well!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfGXHyPImM8

I think I'll just always come back to this, a lil 1 hour long game where you harvest wheat. Perfect podcast game. The story is a bit much for me when I'm just wanting to click things but I appreciate that it's there.
Somehow playing BOTW for the first time so I've leave my real thoughts of the whole experience in that review. But after defeating all the Divine Beasts I did this instantly.
Used a guide to find the locations and I honestly don't remember any of the new shrines (I did some Main Game shrines along the way) but this DLC makes Revali's Gale charge faster so it's automatically goated
