This game is the perfect example of "Video Game Art" it feels like an experience as opposed to a game.
This game sounds and looks great, I was on edge the whole time, I was convinced that there was something following me in the game, chat said they could hear footsteps, and then I see a bloody hand! NAH I WAS LIVID! DEV LIED LOL
But I speedran this after can probs get like 50 mins to beat the game if you know where you are going, I will probs go back and see if you can ride all the waterslides!
But play this max volume, lights off and alone! Itll make you feel immersed, I was on the verge of a panic attack

This game is absolutely stunning visually!
Combat and movement is fluid and speedy!
Depiction of Gotham City is eerie and clearly crime ridden mainly due to the event of the story.
But I couldn't see myself enjoying this as much as the others in the series, noticeable crashes at random parts, feeling way too overpowered at times, to a point that I did not even play predator sections how they were intended because it was so easy to go guns blazing!
Best thing about this was the story tbh, I was shocked with it! The whole Arkham Knight reveal got me! and seeing Batman struggle to process Joker is dead is a sad one to see.
Although I have yet to do Knightfall protocol, Im kinda sick and tired of Riddler so I cba to do it, might just look it up.
But my god the whole setting and the way the story overlaps with the side quests was a welcome one, even if Deathstroke was underwhelming. Kinda makes the tease for him being part of the suicide squad irrelevant Fuck you Arkham Origins!

Ok This game has a lot of faults.
but lets get the good out of the way!
I really love how they portrayed Bruce/Batman, he's new to this still, he's still learning his techniques, meeting infamous villain's. You can tell by the way he interrogates, intimidates and shows a lack of self control when a Villain completes their task and kills or seriously injures a large amount of people.
Deadshot Side quest was super fun, Especially the predator room boss battle, although I did Thanos snap him out of existence by accident.
Anarky was a great addition to the roster of villians.
Electric Gloves were awesome! Why the hell did he get rid of them for Arkham Asylum lol
AND THE INVESTIGATIONS THEY WERE SO MUCH FUN!
Now for the bad!
While playing this game on stream, I experienced 28 crashes that lost me progress on riddler sidequests, main story sidequests and boss encounters, was very annoying.
This game has aged badly imo!
Combat feels very floaty for some reason, not quite sure how to explain it, but I would get hit by literally nothing in situations that would either kill me outright, or ruin an extremely high combo counter, ALSO NO CRIT ATTACKS WOT!?
Speed for gliding feels minimised compared to the previous two entries, and makes the game feel larger, but its evident that this Open World is smaller, and the bridge is too damn long.
Final Boss Battle was a joke against Bane, Didnt get hit once. and I was playing on the hardest difficulty.
This game is still worth a play for the Side quests and the main story seeing Bruce become acquainted with some of his most famous villains.

I put Marriage and smoke together and created a divorce.
Cant really complete this game, but I made Horus, which was a goal.

This review contains spoilers
Ok this I feel is going to be one of my best reviews for a game.
Disclaimer, I strongly dislike Turn based, JRPGs. Ok so seeing this rating must be shocking!
I played this as a bet for something ridiculous that my friend did which took an entire year, so I didn't back out of playing this.
I went into thinking it was going to be another predictable anime game, oh boy was I wrong!
So this was on gamepass, played for free, but I would happily buy this.
The Story really hooked me on the basis its mature, questions morality and forces the player to make decisions and choosing to embrace death, I saw them shoot themselves and gasped! Was not expecting all of this!
I struggle with story based games if there are no breaking points, emotion moments or fantastic spectacles. This had all of them, I can count four moments where I got teary, THANKS GAME! and plenty of moments where I was stunned. and the ending just made me happy and relieved they did what they set out to do despite your characters end which I named myself "CUNT CUNT" Because funny.
During this playthrough which yes I did all live one stream being over 14 hours, I found out that this game is merely a spin off, which is making me want to play even more! I felt empty after I watched the credits and now just want to play more!!!
Music was incredible, catchy, memorable, and I've even added some into my own personal playlist to listen to while gaming or going about my day.
The combat while simple and easy to understand was engaging, while I think the Persona attacks were tedious and having to watch our characters shoot themselves in the head 200 plus times, I was never bored.
Barely had to do any grinding for the end game, Id say about 2 hours total in my playthrough was grinding. I played on normal btw.
The Selection of Personas were great although unlike pokemon I probably wont remember them if you was to say their name, but a pic I would, I chose to end the game with Beezlebub and Satan, what a lovely duo!
The Remastered cutscenes and animations were brilliant after watching a side by side comparisons. The VAs who I found out the VA for Mitsubishi my nickname for Kiroji is a twitch streamer, bloody awesome! all did fantastic in their roles, especially Junpei and Revolver Jesus.
Tartarus Tower I enjoyed despite it apparently being disliked among the community, find that strange, loved exploring except for the DJ floors, that was really messing with my eyes.
Now after all this you are probably wondering why I've removed half a star, I found the pacing of the story to be a bit shallow, good story just after the whole shadow stuff and then Ryoji coming in, I found the quality in the hub world to be a bit bland, by then the school break was on, I had finished a lot of the social links, had my stats max, so I was found in a monotonous cycle of going arcade levelling my personas and doing the same thing every night. Will mention I was also at the border floors by the second visits and had been completing all the requests as they became available. Elizabeth is a fight I am gonna struggle with!
But yeah thats my thought on this. I genuinely went into this thinking I was gonna hate it, came out regretting that I have never played a Persona game, and now wanting more.
Next stop Persona 4 when I feel like I want to sink 80 plus hours into another JRPG
also Junpei is a fiend xD

Rating for the Steelbook, This is one of my fav Glossy Steelbooks, Chief looks great on it! Defo one of my nicest Gloss books!
Hats of to Nightdive for bringing back an absolute classic!
Playing this brought an immesnse wave of nostalgia as I played this as a kid.
Good things first, FPS is great, had no stutters, gameplay as per usual with games like this is fluid! Story easy to understand, remastered cutscenes look great! and hello STAR WARS!
This also being the first instance of the Dark Trooper / Shock Trooper is awesome as well, especially the different MKs.
The Difficulty of this game towards the end is in my opinion a big difficulty difference, one minute I was mowing through enemies, next minute I was getting destroyed.
Some bad things, the puzzles have aged terribly! I found myself getting stuck at nearly everyone minus the last puzzle.
Level 14 is a bitch btw ;) Especially on Medium and Hard <3 Have fun!
Nightdive please remaster the sequels and Turok Evolution Thank you <3 ;)

This is specifically about the "remaster"
Shocking quality, crash after crash and bad textures constantly, Loads after a death are quick but that cannot be said for loading basic floor textures, took a solid 5 minutes to load in the texture for the church exterior after the first predator room sequence.
I one hundred percented this game, yes this includes the challenges, but I found myself coming across riddler trophies that were straight invisible, broken, or just not accessible until I hard restarted the console SERIES X BTW or just randomly use the scan at the right angle.
Ok Rant over.
The story is still great, combat is fluid, albeit it can be a bit overwhelming with the removal of some gadgets from the previous title, so I kept getting confused.
I love the side quests in this, ok maybe not the Dead-Shot "Fight" if it can be considered that one.
But the rest of them seemed good!
Voice actors are stellar as per usual so props there.
DLC was ehh hit or miss, found some of the gadgets for Robin to be crap, and the fighting stages were all meh. Nightwing is cool though.
Shame I cannot give this a higher rating as the OG is incredible.
Origins next ;)

This games graphics blew me away!
I love the whole setting, story and characters.
Missions got better and better the more I played. I enjoyed the shooting after getting used to it, it defo felt floaty.
Things I didnt like was the amount of driving, this would be fine if the driving wasnt god awful (Bearing in mind its better than the og driving)
and the melee combat is awful, pair this with the need to collect health pickups instead of health regenerating and you have got a really crap system.
and lastly the FPS, Im playing this on a Series X and im getting 30fps, my mate on ps5 said the same thing, such a shame as its such a nice game to look at!
THANK GOD THEY MADE THE RACE MISSION BETTER THAN THE OG

I love the original game! So glad they remastered this!
Still looks dated, but its a must play!
100 Percent is easier to attain thanks to the removal of the multiplayer stuff.
If you are a ghostbusters fan youll love this game!
Been meeting so many awesome people in the speedrunning scene of this game! Got some fun stuff in it, but lots of waiting, Some things that casual players wont need to worry about but there are some softlocks if you go super fast!

I will always say this is the best GTA to release thus far.
Believable environment, Story that has its serious moments, shockers and jokes at times.
A Prick of a villain, bizarre side characters, and absolute Gs Big Up Lil Jacob.
Seeing a completely new realised Liberty City all the way from GTA 3 was incredible especially for 2008!
Better protagonist from 3 Niko Bellic is a badass, has morals and uses quotes that I even still quote today.
88 Missions looks like a small amount when you look at it, but some missions are actually quite long, tricky because of the health not regenerating and the driving.
The driving is the biggest complaint in this game, which I can understand BUT the cars on the 1st island are crap, when you unlock more high end cars the handling is easier, I found myself being able to turn corners like they were nothing!
This would be 5 stars btw BUT, There is a very common bug that stopped me from finishing the final story mission so the fact I couldnt complete it without having to look up a fix is ridiculous.
Also Swing Glitch is hilarious ;)

I can defo see the appeal with this, pokemon and guns, ok cool.
Character creator is cursed - love it, but the rest im meh with.
These survival based games are not my thing to clarify, but I found the world boring, the lack of any sort of ambient soundtrack was offputting, a bit overwhelming with just throwing you into it with no direction, and constant menuing for basic tutorials that I am never gonna read.
Ok this is still in game preview/ early stages, but it feels like another generic Ark Survival type game that will get lost in about 3 months once the hype ends.
Ragdoll Physics of the dead pals is the reason I like watching streams of this lol

This game while Still amazing can get a bit forgettable in my opinion, all the side stuff and characters are brilliant, psychopathic and hilarious.
Still think GTA4 is better though ;)
Online I will choose to leave out of this as I will rate this 2 and a half

I did enjoy this game! The Whole dismembering mechanic is fun and unique! But left me feeling overwhelmed with what I have gathered of an enemy!
Bosses were lacklustre and boring.
I found the whole level design shocking. Was lost all the time, some "Shortcuts" didn't even act as one.
Not to mention my trophy's were bugged because the game crashed at the very end and the same goes for the DLC Boss with the cat costume, I was fuming, instantly deleted it, despite only needing 5 more trophies, but who knows maybe in the future.
