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.

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 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.
