Expected a bit more from this one while still liking it a lot. The combat is almost there with my favorite parry based games but it quite doesn't reach those heights. I was a bit worried at the beginning because the combat felt pretty bad during the tutorial but it got way better.

The most surprising and refreshing feature were some of the combat encounters having visually stunning and striking set pieces (Club, Museum) that differentiate the title from just being a Kung Fu Movie best hits while also having some tough boss battles that make you employ all the tools you learned during the game.

I didn't think this game was going to be this good after both hearing that it was made in 6 months and after playing Ishin and being a bit cold on it but this game turned out to be so much fun. From the two fighting styles that feel fresh, to the substories being integrated with the Akame Network creating an addictive gameplay loop, this is a masterclass of creating a spin off title.

The story was surprisingly good and better than even some of the main games, leading to one of the most memorable moments in the franchise from another perspective and an ending that I didn't expect that made me tear up a bit. RGG doesn't miss.

I really tried to find ways to lower the score of this one and I just couldn't. Such a great remake that made some of the worst parts of Dead Space (like the Boss fights or the Asteroid Shooting section) actually worth playing while introducing more story beats such as the side missions that dig deeper into the lore of the title.

While it still is a pretty linear title, introducing a dash of Metroidvania and backtracking with the aforementioned Side Missions or the Security Clearance doors, it made the Ishimura even more of a character and a fantastic setting than ever before.

While i ended up finishing this one and one point was enjoying it fairly, it has a pretty bad story with bad writing.

Some of the set pieces are cool but it's impossible to not compare it to the Arkham Series, specially with the middle combat that is lacking a ton of the abilities that you get way too late into the campaign.

Only try if you have some friends to waste time with.

God game where you can still tell this was made off of the bones of a ps3 game. The combat is one of my least favorite in the series although it gets better as you put some time and upgrades in two of the trees, Swordman and the most fun one, Wild Dancer. Wasn't a fan of Gunman and Brawler.

While the story is really good, it is also quite predictable in most instances regarding the main twist. Alongside that, some characters feel wasted like Saigo that I wished were used more since their actors/3d models haven't been a part of the modern franchise for a while.

You could have fooled someone easily by telling them this is the latest From Software title as Lies of P is the closest that these soulslikes not made by From have gotten to their formula. The best part of this game are the weapons, the storyline (with a great book at the end) and how optimized it is. However, the level design pales when compared with anything made in Bloodborne/Sekiro/Dark Souls as most of the levels are quite easy to traverse and not visually striking. Alongside this flaw, the enemy design gets a bit repetitive and the game doesn't have as many bosses as your regular Souls game, which correlates with the shorter duration in comparison to the from titles. In any case, this Is an easy recommendation if you wish to play an alternative souls game.

This has to be one of the most nitpicked titles I have ever seen. The critiques launched at this game for every single minimum detail are crazy considering how some other games get easy passes for their flaws.

Finally Bethesda created a main quest that interlaces perfectly with their gameplay and it's a must complete. Compared to their other titles, you don't want to skip the main quest as it completes a perfect gameplay loop for it.

As always, the faction storylines are some of the best content and , thankfully, compared to Fallout these ones are stellar and have some incredible twists and creative moments. Great recommendation towards doing Ryujin Industries and Crimson Fleet Storylines.

Anyways, I can understand how this game is not clicking with some due to the slow start and the complete paradigm shift of how a Bethesda game is played, which is why i would recommend focusing on the main and Faction storylines which take you to as many planets and systems as possible and in turn, those will lead you to new unexpected experiences on a random passenger ship, a new cave on a settled planet or some innocent conversations heard throughout the cities.
