I've always wanted to write something for this duology, and now that it's fresh in my mind, let's not waste time: it's a godamn masterpiece.

Eternal Punishment is the sequel of Innocent Sin, and WHAT OF A SEQUEL. Still in the same vein of the first one, i'm just amazed how great the story is. This is, like i said before, a direct sequel of Innocent Sin, involving most of the same characters and story elements, but in a different way. I won't spoil anything, but it is just too great.

The crew members are this time (and only this time, sadly) adults, and i'm pretty sure that's one of the reason this game is so good. The themes and reflections are those of the transition to adulthood and the beginning of life in society, which will resonate much more in the minds of adults than the eternal problems of high school students life.

In this one, Tatsuya (the protagonist of the first one) becomes a recurring character who speaks while Maya, who spoke in the first one, becomes the silent protagonist of this one. I was amazed how great Tatsuya quickly become one of my favorite persona protagonist, juste by giving him his personnality and own reactions. Silent protagonists are something i don't particularly like, so it was a bless for this game to giving me 2 real mc, even if it's turn by turn.

Well, whatever, like already said before, this game is a godamn masterpiece, everything is way too good, from the characters to the OST. Undeniably one of atlus finnest piece of art. We will be there if a remake ever comes out.

For a first nasu experience, it was really something

This game is really good in a lot of points ; its dark atmosphere, the characters that will make you doubt and question everything. and also ARCUEID.
The CG are mostly wonderful, reinforced with a masterpiece soundtrack, which give atmosphere to many scenes, dialogues and combat.

still this game and it's characters absolutely terrified me
and some awful scenes still haven't managed to get out of my mind.

so go on and play it arcueid's waiting

PEAK VN SO FAR

The story is captivating, very pleasant and beautifuly well written. You won't get bored reading for hours.
The fact that there's less action is surprisingly pleasant, given the quality of the slice-of-life. We lose ourselves in the daily lives of the characters, much to our delight.

As I said above, the writing of both the story and the characters is a real pleasure; we feel all kinds of emotions throughout the chapters and, above all, become very attached to them.
The CG are magnificent, detailed and breathtaking, for the slice of life side as for the fights. You'll want to download all of them.
The action scenes of course are powerful, stunning and are all more incredible than the others, enhanced by a soundtrack that enchant every scenes, from the battles to everyone's daily life.

A game that I didn't expect much from and which amazed me at every point.
deserves all the attention in the world

P3 being one of my favorite games of all time, my expectations were extremely high.. and.. well.. i'm speechless.

Persona 3 is unique. The story is fantastic, going through several phases, leading the characters to ups and downs, but above all very human reactions, leading to arguments and disagreements.
They're not all powerful, and they're not fearless; just teenagers facing a destiny they never asked for.
Reload is really good for readapting such a beautiful story.

The game is wonderfully beautiful, the graphics are mind-blowing and the UI design never failed us, as atlus never disappoints.
The new additions are really cool, like the boy's social events, the study sessions for the exam or the nighttime activities at the dorm.
Some notable scenes are more inspired by the film versions than the original game, which i find really great (cause a lot of them are way better) and that will make you really emotional.

For the battle, the gameplay is... STUNNING
I didn't even know it was possible for a turn based RPG to have fights so enjoyable and satisfying. It will make you want to do 72hours of tartartus straight, which is also amazing : the redesign of tartarus is gorgeous, and the exploration side which could seem a little repetitive has disappeared.
The additions of theurgy and redesign of all-out-attack are also fantastic, making the fights way more lively.

The soundtrack which was already a classic is still kicking. I was skeptical with the leave of Yumi Kawamura, but Azumi Takahashi did a great job anyway (even if some soundtracks lack a little punch compared to the old ones). Lotus Juice are still just as good after all this time.

Basically, my expectations were high, but Reload met them.
Despite everything, Reload changes a few elements, whether it's the way certain dialogues turn out, or its atmosphere can be too colorful, and I think that it is nevertheless impossible to reproduce the very essence of the original.
But anyway i think it's a great way today to discover the magnificence of Persona 3 and its SEES, which for me is one of the best protagonist groups in a video game.

really cool game. liked the building cult system and also soundtrack is good. artstyle's super cool too.
the roguelike gameplay sadly is a bit limited and quickly become repetitive.
would recommend if you love indie and building game tho'

The world of CP2077 is fantastic. The design, the immersion, the atmosphere, everything is breathtaking.
The world's living, and its characters too. I loved almost everything about this game, and that's why i decided to start it again with the 2.0 update.

AND I'M STILL LOVING EVERYTHING (even a little more now)
Uptade 2.0 is the game everyone was expecting. Skill-tree, driving, weapons, gameplay, basically every aspects of the game have improved.
It took a lot of time, but now everyone can fully enjoy the game. Don't hesitate to try the Phantom Liberty expansion, which is fantastic too.

Can't wait to dive in Night City again for whatever CDPR has in store for us !

i liked this one way more than the first one who was already really good. so fun and cool gameplay and the story is really way better. love all the references, tease for the next and everything. love letter to all spidey's fans

i was expecting something good, like really good, but certainly not THAT GOOD. Cyberpunk 2077 was and will always be a jewel for me despite the hard launch time. Really glad to see CD Projekt overcome this by giving us updates and contents.
Phantom Liberty itself is a fantastic expansion with a wonderful story and some of the hardest choices i had to make during my gaming career.
can't wait for what comes next!

This game is one-of-a-kind.

The game is old; the graphics, gameplay, everything looks and feels quite dated, even for its time. It's unique and certainly not the high-quality JRPG you're looking for. But... it is also the best game I've ever played.

The way this game tells its story is unique, and I thought it was fantastically well done. You may not be able to follow everything, have difficulty understanding everything that's going on, and that's okay; Nier is not just a game.

It's a universe told through books, novels, and many other things. Replicant is only a small part of this universe that is told to us in this game.
I loved absolutely everything about the game, its story, its universe of course, and more than anything its characters.
Yoko Taro knows very well how to make you feel uncomfortable, sad, irritated, pretty much every negative emotion.

The soundtrack is quite simply the best I've ever heard, and will reinforce all the big scenes, fights in the game and give a lively and heartbreaking atmosphere to many areas.

It's a game where good and evil don't really exist. It's just a matter of perspective. I found something there, in its atmosphere, in its story and its characters that I haven't found anywhere else.

If you liked this one, or if you come by after Automata, don't hesitate for a second to fully immerse yourself in the universe. It's something you won't regret.

really great game, i remember my glorious warrior Demon King the Unkillable, he was a thief-warrior capable of stealing ennemie's weapons.
i miss you my boy rest in peace
