Originally I wasn't exactly sure what to expect as this was my first Uncharted game I've ever played. But I've only heard great tings about it, has everything I want in a game. Adventure, story and fun gameplay!

I was a big fan of all the puzzles and lore about the treasure and I really enjoyed all the exploring with Sam or Elena or even when we're alone. My only take that I didn't like at the game was how at some parts it was painfully slow when it didn't need to be, especially some parts of the first half of the game. I also didn't like how Nadine was just impossible to beat even when it's literally a 2v1, but oh well she was irrelevant anyways and then dipped at the end.

Not to mention the ending was probably one of the better endings I've ever played.

Overall the game is a complete shitshow of braindead take after braindead take. I skipped majority of dialogue, but from when I would be forced to listen, the main character is bitching and complaining that he doesn't want his future self to kill a few innocent people in order to save thousands+ of innocent people in the future, and eventually it comes to some stupid ass "oh but it's okay we found this super convenient way of saving everyone from inevitable doom with some bullshit we had no clue about prior." Not only is the story bad, but the overuse of the rewind mechanic in combat is absurd and completely mind numbing. The gameplay loop in itself is boring, repetitive, and at times confusing due to the horrible controls (on controller) and poor movement. I really expected the movement in this game to be fun as the trailers made it look awesome, but overall it was just not a fun experience.

I am still playing through Palworld as we speak, but I figured I'd write in my review, to document the time I got into the game. I have logged 40 hours, and don't plan on slowing down. The automation is a little clunky, but fun nonetheless. The selection of Pals is great, and I find each of them quite unique. I do wish evolution was a thing, but I guess not.

I'm not really going to argue over the AI argument. None of it is proven, yet, to have been used in Palworld. So until then, I won't let it affect my review.

I find it a bit tedious moving around the map. The sprinting is quite slow, and I WANT to explore this vast world, but feel discouraged in doing so.

The bosses are pretty fun. They kicked my ass.

The crafting is pretty good, and I found levelling up my base to be pretty fun.

I wish the level cap was higher than 50, but if this game continues to get updates, I could see them extending the cap.

The game is quite addicting, such as a lot of these survival games are. But I do like it more than some others such as LEGO Fortnite. I kind of respect that Palworld just throws a bunch of big games together into this cluster of a wacky stew. The guns, the butchering, all of it is so crazy in the most fun way possible. Does that make it a great game? No. Does that make is an absolute blast? Yes.

I will stay tuned on future updates such as PvP. I hope they add more Pals in the future, and keep updating this game with great new content and features. The numbers this game is hitting financially is just insane, and will be looked back on as a phenomenon in a few years.

Overall, i rank Palworld a strong 7.
Game #8 of 2024

God of War Ragnarok proved me wrong, in every way imaginable. I was very sceptical going into this game, as the first game never really appealed to me. But BOY was I wrong.

This game is nothing but a SERIOUS masterpiece. Never did I imagine finding myself emotional at a game where Kratos is in it. The combat is super enjoyable, I love how every mission has you go through almost different Realms every time so you're not doing the same thing over and over at times like in the first game. And of course, the story. The characters, the passion behind Kratos's character arc in becoming a better father for Atreus and of course finding out more about Atreus's story, in which I found at times to be some of the best moments in the game. It was very peaceful exploring different realms, and the odd fight in between just to remind you you're never truly safe. The environments were magical at times and really made it worth exploring and finding more loot as you go.

They really did use the foundations of what was an incredible first game, and turned it into one of the greatest games of all time. It is definitely one of my favourite games I've ever played not just because it was super enjoyable to play, but also super enjoyable to immerse myself in this really perfectly crafted world. Some of the best 20 hours I've spent in a video game and I recommend it to everyone as it sets the tone very quickly and gets your immersed from the first couple of minutes of gameplay.

10/10 EASILY.

This Game is wild. But the Pokemon fan meltdown is better than the game.

Kingpaca or bust

This game is great and while it does need work it is super fun with friends. While being a big Pokemon fan I was hyped when I first saw this game and it did deliver.
But I keep seeing so many stupid reviews and comments about Pokemon and this game.
On the nintendo fan side you have people coping about the designs saying that they are plagiarized and A.I generated. Which they aren't A.I generated that's stupid and they are not plagiarized just simply inspired, like some of the creatures in this game do look similar to pokemon but not all of them. This is a genuinely good game and I hope that they pump out their updates.
On the other hand you have people hating on pokemon just to jump on to hate on it, saying stuff like "All the pokemon games have been terrible" in which that isn't true Scarlet/Violet were great, granted the fps issue is bad but if it weren't for that it would be an ideal pokemon game. Like man haters are going to hate.
Overall I haven't seen many reviews made people who both like Pokemon and this game. But yeah giving it a 5 stars so it could get a higher avg. rating.
