Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is without a doubt the best soulsborne type game i have played so far (played Elden Ring and a little bit of DS1). The combat system was fairly simple, but very difficult to master as this is a high paced action game that requires good reaction speed so be ready to die a few times before mastering the combat system because the enemies have different sets of patterns and moves you will need to adapt to. The only notable downside that has been haunting my mind since the start of the game would be the confusing navigation, as i had to hold my phone in my right hand reading IGN guides on where to go next, so i don’t get lost (i can’t play video games for too long or my mama will lecture me) (also not a pleasant experience for my neck). If you don’t have anything else to do for the day and you enjoy investing a lot of your time running around the map searching for clues as a badass hard-boiled shinobi of the Sengoku Era Japan, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the game for you.

aside from the progamming acrobatics nothing else in this game really stood out. I was spamming left click through 90% of the game because of all the bland dialogues and it wasn’t until that the game started performing magic tricks, that i stopped up and gave it a good read to try to comprehend what was going on. The experience as i would describe it, is that it was comparable to that of going to an amusement park with my friends to ride carousels but ending up doing haunted house too, not the worst thing to do but i would want to go home and watch the soap opera airing tonight instead because im not the biggest fan of amusement parks.
aside from the visually stunning graphics the other aspects of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered remain to be mediocre at best. The map is big but empty, it felt like the developers just created a big sandbox and just dumped html rng generated sidequests in it which made the open world feel very dead. The story mode is cliche you just run around the empty city beating up edgy villains, the boss fights are horrible and the tedious MJ/Miles stealth missions don’t make the experience any better. The only notable good thing i can point out is the excellent voice acting, the characters felt real and some cutscenes really vivid because of it. To conclude i don’t reccomend this game to non spiderman fans because you’ll be bored of it pretty quick way before the story ends though die hard spiderman fans feel free to try it.
