I’m more than sure that half the people that have reviewed this game either haven’t played it or didn’t even give themselves a chance to like it due to allowing the negative reviews to impact their judgement...
The story was awesome, the Suicide Squad themselves were hilarious and likable, the combat was nothing special but it was fine, the traversal system was incredibly well done for all 4 members and worked perfectly around Metropolis no matter who you were using, the side content was a bit repetitive but overall fun and filled with Easter Eggs and seeing the Justice League (especially Green Lantern) finally make their appearances in this world was so dope! Watching almost all of them go rogue was pretty intense, especially Batman and Superman!
With that said, there are some things here that bothered me and the biggest being the Flash and Superman fights. They were incredibly underwhelming, especially the Superman fight. They built that fight to be THE FIGHT (as it should’ve been) and yet, it was such a disappointment but NOTHING comes close to how god awful the Brainiac fight was. That will 100% go down as the most forgettable boss fight in gaming for me.
Luckily not all the boss fights were bad though. Green Lantern and Batman's fight were literal perfection and I wouldn’t change a thing about those.
This game isn’t perfect at all or even close to it. While it may not deliver a great live service experience, It definitely delivers a dope story and if you’re a fan of the Rocksteady universe or DC in general, give it a go and make your own opinion here!

I think this is definitely one of those games where a majority of the players that played, allowed the negative reviews to impact their judgement...
This game was honestly fine. Redfall delivered quite a bit of really good stuff. The level designs were great, along with sick boss fights, a really fun combat system and a fairly decent story.
It definitely had some flaws but none were bad enough to the point it made the game feel "completely broken" like the general public put it out to be?
I definitely say give this game a go, especially in co-op if you can... I played this with my man @ConnerW and we had a blast from start to finish, and made some funny and great memories here!

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor delivers a gripping narrative from beginning to end, however, It does let off the gas a bit around the half way point but picks up BIG time in the final stretch!
This game did unfortunately have performance issues that constantly remained an issue during my entire play through. It wasn’t anything too game breaking but it was definitely annoying.
Outside of that, I loved everything about Jedi: Survivor. I’m super invested in Cal’s journey along with these characters and I cannot wait to continue this story.

Team Ninja definitely knows what they're doing when it comes to creating a souls-like game but, the lack of originality still remains a huge issue for some of their titles and this is one of them... While Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty delivered with its incredibly addicting combat system, challenging bosses and variety of weapons it struggled a lot with it's unsatisfying looting system, (most of its)level designs, performance, unoriginal combat patterns with its bosses/enemies and it relied on it's inspiration to carry it through most of the game which was a huge let down considering how great this story idea was...
I was extremely excited for this game and while it definitely had potential, the execution just wasn't there for me...

Oxenfree was a delight -- if you can call a game with occasionally unsettling moments a "delight." It managed to pack so much into an adventure with such a short run time. While I did find some of the gameplay elements a little cumbersome -- successfully maneuvering Alex around curvy pathways felt like a Herculean accomplishment -- the story, soundtrack (and sound design), characters and eerie vibes make it a must-play for anyone itching to play a fantastic indie.
