I'm not saying this is the most disappointing sequel of anything ever. But it's definitely up there!

The writing and mood sure took a beating in this one.

I suffered my way through to appreciate how good the art is. The game was a bit sadistic.

I think it's my favorite Uncharted game to play? It does miss a little something, though.

Near the last stages it became too hard for my ear for rythm and/or ear-to-thumb bandwidth. Gee, thanks for showing me my physical limitations, Thumper.

2017

Uninspired visual design prevented me from being able to truly invest my patience into it like I'm always able to with FromSoftware worlds. And it's not the only thing that sets Nioh and something like Sekiro apart.

Still a bit shook about how good this played. Near Max Payne 3 levels of aggressive tonal shift coupled with a gargantuan shooting/violence upgrade.

The story is big and meaty and all over the place, in a good way. I dunno, i really fucking enjoyed this monstrous freak of a third installment.

Was quite a bit underwhelmed by it at the time. Human Revolution is among my all time faves, and while this has very similar vibes, it just felt undercooked.

There is a pretty cool time travel story in here... somewhere. You just have to read like 8 000 pages of text to experience it, because the stuff in the cutscenes and, god forbid, live action episodes, is whack.

The inability to shoot without aiming in a Remedy game felt like being castrated.

Too much goddamn climbing, too little goddamn shooting. Otherwise, could be a 5 stars game right there.

I love both first Black Ops games. "Dissapointing" does not even begin to describe what i felt about Black Ops III. A level design devoid of direction, a story devoid of emotion, a game devoid of fun.

Even in unfinished state (which is the only thing keeping me from awarding it with 5 stars) Phantom Pain beats 2015 ass like a crazy horse.
