I finished this game a couple of weeks ago and have been struggling to find the right words to say about it.
I enjoyed my time with Breath of the Wild, but wasn’t blown away, so going into Tears of the Kingdom I didn’t have expectations of any kind. Well, TotK absolutely blew me away!
This game has become one of my all time favourites, whether it’s because of the exploration being deeper and wider than before, the combat allowing for so many unique varieties of attack and defence, the level of creativity just using the abilities or even the secrets to find within Hyrule, Tears of the Kingdom was an amazing experience and not one I’ll forget any time soon.
The level of freedom I felt in this game is unmatched so far, the shrines giving you the tools to use and letting you figure out how to get through the puzzles with them was always rewarding. The different contraptions you can make and build, whether it’s a simple hoverbike or machines bordering on combat mechs, I never felt like I was running out of ideas to get through the game.
As for the visuals and storytelling, while the story wasn’t the strongest part of the game, both of these factors still felt great in the game. Especially the ending, which was just amazing to play and amazes me as to how Nintendo managed to make it work on a Switch!
What an amazing game, truly it is an experience I will treasure forever!

Wow, what a game.
After starting FF7 Remake about 4 years ago, I have fallen in love with the characters and world of this story. This game feels like an odyssey, this grand journey with a group of friends, where through the trials faced they all come out stronger by the end.
Exploring the different regions, meeting the different types of people and seeing everything there is to do was an incredible experience.
This whole journey, culminating in that incredible climax, is a game that every JRPG fan should play at least once.
The post game depression set in before I’d even finished and I know this one will stick with me for a while to come!

Spider-Man has been a huge part of my life, for as long as I can remember. Peter Parker has frequently been someone I’ve looked to for guidance, someone I’ve always aspired to be like.
These new games have all lived up to the ideals of Spider-Man. Responsibility being the key theme of Spider-Man (2018), Identity being the theme of Spider-Man Miles Morales and now with Spider-Man 2 the theme is Balance.
Returning to these versions of the beloved characters has been a joy for me, both as a Spidey fan and a game enjoyer. Seeing Peter struggle with the Symbiote, seek to right any wrongs that he might’ve caused while under its influence and dealing with the repercussions of his actions, all while trying to find that right balance in his life between Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
The gameplay, whilst similar to the first, has been tweaked and perfected in the last few years into what has now become, possibly, the best superhero game on the market.
With my only complaints being a couple of suit designs at the end of the game, the story coming close to (but never fully) jumping the shark and a few minor technical issues. This is easily one of the best games I’ve had the pleasure to experience this year.
Spider-Man 2 might not be Game of the Year at the awards for 2023, but for me (as a huge Spidey fan) this is easily the best game I’ve played this year so far.
With its themes, it’s story, music and gameplay all perfected to an ‘amazing’ (pun intended) shine, I cannot wait to see where these characters are taken in the future!
