Bio
Sanostol keeps me alive.

Only logging games or marking them as played from February 2024 and onwards. I played a lot of games before that!

When I mark retro games as "mastered" it means that I got all the achievements on the Retroachievements website.

I really enjoyed playing it and it got me hooked pretty quickly. Being a fan of horror movies myself, I had a very good time with it. The acting is great and they do a very good job of introducing the characters and actually give them a lot of depth. However, all of that never really plays out. They build up a lot of relationships between the characters only for them to lead nowhere. The further you get into the game, the more it feels rushed. I also hated how characters sometimes died for the stupidest reasons, you'll almost certainly lose some characters for dumb reasons if you go in blind. It still does a great job of keeping you hooked and engaged but the disappointment will hit you at the end. The ending is terrible and makes the whole experience feel a lot worse. The game just...ends. There is no real conclusion for the characters, no pay off, just a summary of who survived and a very annoying podcast that summarizes what happened during the credits. The plot was actually not that bad but without a real epilogue and such a rushed ending I actually lost all desire to do another playthrough. Initially I planned to play through it multiple times and get all achievements, I guess I won't do that now.

I just finished it with every DLC played and 100% completion and absolutely loved it. I'm a huge Dragon Ball fan and this is definitely the best way to play through the whole story, told with much detail and love.

Combat is insanely fun and I couldn't get enough of it and it also looks really good (except the environment). The enjoyment I got out of this game was huge and I hope we'll get something similiar in the future.

I still can't rate it higher than 4 stars since it does have some annoying issues that I can't overlook. Everything connected to the main story is awesome but the side quests are badly designed with uninspired, boring little stories and tasks that just repeat themselves over and over, like collecting materials, going fishing and fighting the same stupid skull robots over and over. The open world is also rather dull and doesn't have anything great to explore and enemies that you encounter while exploring are always the same with little variety.

The DLCs also aren't worth it. Most of them have little content considering how expensive they are and the two Power Awakens DLCs actually kinda break the game if you play them before you finished everything in the main game since you will be waaay overleveled. However, the DLCs are still fun. The main quests are well done and they have some really epic moments. Especially the Bardock DLC was great. They do have the same issue as the main game though, all the side quest are horrible.

And still with all that criticism I had a great time and spent as much time as I could in this game. Would definitely recommend it for every Dragon Ball fan.

Loved this when I was a child and still enjoyed it a lot now but it has some issues that I can't ignore.

I'm a big fan of Gex as a character and I actually enjoy all the references and his silly one liners. Level design is good and I really like the themes. However, there could be more variety since a lot of the themes repeat themselves too often. My biggest problem is the camera though. They didn't manage to get that right at all, it's always in the wrong place and some passages get unnecessarily hard just because you can't see anything although this is a fairly easy game in general. It actually gets so annoying that it really reduces the fun a lot and the worst thing is the stupid sound everytime you try to move the camera in a place where it is stuck. Ugh.

I still think the average rating on Backloggd is too low, Gex deserves some love and these issues could easily be fixed with a well done remake.
