At its core, Marvel's Spider-Man is a very captivating and, above all, extremely fun game: from the navigation using the webs, which is undoubtedly the most fun part of the game, making you feel as if you really in Spider-Man's shooes. I have yet to meet one person who would rather use fast travel than swing through the polluted skies of New York.
However, while the navigation is innovative and extremely fun, the combat leaves something to be desired. Although it is fun and satisfying, it is quite repetitive. The mechanics of hitting, dodging, shootting webs and repeat until all enemies are defeated gets repetitive very quickly. Despite the inclusion of different enemy types to add some variety, the basics remain the same, dodge more things, shoot webs at bigger enemies, hit harder at whoever is blocking, notthing new, nottthing creative. On the other hand, the available powers can add a little to the dynamics of combat. They are quite varied, including increasing damage, throwing enemies away, or trapping them in the wall. However, these powers are very situational, and are not well balanced. This, together with the long waiting times, leaves the powers more like something interesting to use at the beginning of the battle and go back to the repetitive web shooting and punching.
Boss battles are a highlight of the game. The battle against Electro, with you swinging and dodging Vulture, or the Battle of the Rhino and the Scorpion, with the two roasting each other, and the Final Fight against Octopus were all extremmely fun. The only battles that I found quite booring were the two against Li: the first was a Glorified quick time event, and the second was just a drag.
The only missions that I absolutely hated were the stealth missions with Merry Jane (the ones with Miles were actually good, especially the one against Rhino). I personally don't like it when games implement stealth missions when it's not their focus. thouse Missions are generally not verry balanced being just extremely simple, or extremely hard, which is what I felt in MJ's missions.
Overall, another problem I have with the game is its difficulty. Even playing on the hardest dificulty, the game didn't cause me any difficulties. If you get the right powers and bonuses, you no longer have any problems with combat in the game.
The story is interesting. I don't care enough about comics to know everything about spidermand and his merry man, so I knew the characters more through Cultural Osmosis. I really enjoyed adding some not-so-knowledgeable villains, like Mr Negative, or even Scorpio. But beyond that, there's nothing special, it's another Super Hero Game. I didn't start playing thinking it would be the next [[Life is Strange]] in terms of Plot, and there's nothing wrong with that. But leaving the simplicity of the Plot aside, it is well written and engaging, the emotional bits with Mj and Octavius Really hit, and despite everyting, the end got me tearing up a little

South Park: The Stick of Truth is a Good game if you are a Fan of the series, I Personally was 13 years old just one year so the south park humor just doesn't hit anymore. But the gameplay is Kinda Nice, its preatty easy in my opinion, I Finnished the game in the Hardcore dificulty and the only fight i had anny sort of Problem was the Bird Prince (i Made it in the thirt Time), but all the other fights were a breeze. SO, in the end i can Only recomend this game for Southpark Fans, But for everyone else, Wait for a Good promotion

Its pretty good, really, Just a short Puzzle game with a lot of personality and impressive gameplay.
It was difficult to finish this game, you know, not because it's difficult, far from it, but because I'm a huge wuss.
The game isn't bad, the atmosphere it puts you inits wonderful, the mysteries, the phone guy, etc, are all very well crafted. HOWEVER, only on the first night, because then it becomes much more of the same, and loses a lot of the charm, Especially if you already know the technique, then it just gets tedious, on my last night I wasn't even scared anymore with the animatronics appearing in the door, I just closed the doors and life goes on. But it was cool that my energy ran out and it was 6 in the morning before Freddy attacked me.
4.8/8

A very average game in my opinion, the story is well... there, it's clearly not the focus of the Game, and that's ok, it's a pewdiepie game in 2015, what did you expect?
my biggest problem with this game is the gameplay, during most of the game I found the jumps a bit strange, it seemed like I was always missing the jumps by very little, and then I realized why, this game was made for mobile, and The aspect ratio doesn't translate well to a computer screen, or worse, on a television, this led to many leaps of faith where I couldn't see where I was going to land, and this led to frustration at times.
the music and graphics are ...well... indie games from the mid 2010s, pixelated, it's not bad, but after years of the same thing it gets tiring
In conclusion, the game isn't bad, it's just a product of its time, and that's why it hasn't aged well, especially for a Brazilian who has no idea about 90% of the references that this game throws in your face.
4.5/8 - why was everyone obsessed with ducks at that time?

I just can't like this game, I really do, and I tried. I've played this game on and off since its release in 2016... I think. It's kind of fun at first, the story is crazy and the references are cute at best. but in the second half of the game it just stopped being fun and started being a repetition of training, eating and working, and you can't even feel the accumulation of skills because the skill point currency (???) has become very very to level up, then you're stuck with the same skill set for a long time, and it becomes very repetitive.
I really tried to hold on to this to at least finish the story, but hours and hours of the same thing with no way to try different things and listening to the same music THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE GAME, but I digress.
so... yeah, I really don't know how to end this review... this is it, the end
3/8 - The first rule of the Punch club, Dont Buy it at full price

Opening Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, is a title that carries immense expectations, given its lineage and the franchise's reputation, and in my far from humble opinion, it meets all of those expectations and even does more. Larian Studios not only met these expectations, but also raised the bar for modern RPGs. This is a game that demonstrates a true Dungeons & Dragons experience in the digital world.
Baldur's Gate 3 is more than just a game; is a revival of the classic CRPG genre. In an era of frantic shooters and generic open-world games, Larian Studios takes players back to the RPG roots of the 90s and early 2000s. your breath away, From the peculiar Beauty of the Underdark to the Shops of Baldur's Gate, You find yourself admiring these environments For Hours and Hours, I know well, because I did... several times.
The gameplay in Baldur's Gate 3 is simply exceptional. It's an example of how to combine the depth of classic CRPGs with the accessibility of modern titles and the freedom of tabletop RPGS. The turn-based combat system allows for strategic planning and tactical thinking, and dropping enemies from high places always works (and is a lot of fun, by the way). Additionally, the game embraces the spirit of the D&D rules, adapting them to offer a new, more accommodating experience for those unfamiliar with it.
Character creation and progression are incredibly complete, offering thousands of opportunities for races and classes, from burly Monks to Charismatic Bards. With several possibilities for Weapons, Bows, and mainly Spells, there are necromancy spells, area control spells, damage spells and Mainly Polymorphy (my favorite)
Visually, Baldur's Gate 3 is stunning, so much so that I don't even know how my 1070 can run it smoothly. The detailed environments and characters are extremely detailed, with textures, facial expressions and even your Mocap are a testament to Larian Studios' dedication to immersion. The lighting effects, world design, and living NPCs all contribute to creating a visually captivating world that feels alive.
In terms of audio, the game also shines. The voice acting is top notch, with each character brought to life by talented voice actors, bringing the characters to life, the horror in the voices of the prisoners in the Goblin camp, the pure juice of disrespect in Lae'zel's voice, and the sass of Astarion when he says, “don’t touch me” it makes you aggressively immerse yourself in the Game world.
The soundtrack, in my opinion, is the weakest part of the game, not that it's bad but it's nothing special, there are bangers like; “Rosymorn Monastery” or “Down By The River”, but beyond that nothing much, they help a lot with the ambiance but it’s not something I would listen to on the outside like the OST of Undertale, Pokémon or Chroma Squad.
The plot of Baldur's Gate 3 is complex and full of choices that affect the course of the story. It's an epic, gradually unfolding mystery tale that could only come from the mouth of Volothamp Geddarm himself, full of intrigue and revelations that will leave you speechless. Now that I've stopped kissing Larian's ass The story is typical of a CRPG, full of ramifications, deep and above all, VERY GOOD, there were moments when I jumped out of the animation chair and was shocked by the revelations
The characters you meet are memorable and well written, each with their own motivations and quirks, ALL the characters, from the NPCs to the Playable Characters, all have their Motivations and personalities so deep that you could make an Essey video just by analyzing it.
Those of you who follow me know how much the Replay Factor Affects My Rating, and I can say with authority that one of the game's strengths is its replayability. With the infinity of choices available and the different paths that the story can take, it is easy to have at least 4 Campaigns choosing different things, not counting the Campaigns with the Base Characters from BG3, which then easily exceeds 700 hours of gameplay . And along with Multiplayer it increases the Replay value even further, allowing friends to embark on this epic adventure together.
In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is a triumph of modern RPGs. He managed to successfully adapt a niche genre from the late 90s while pushing boundaries and setting new standards for the genre, creating an effect like Hollow Knight or Stardew Valley. With its deep gameplay, impressive visuals, captivating narrative and immense replayability, it is a must-have game for gamers on duty and new to the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Larian Studios hasn't just resurrected a classic; they redefined it for a new generation of gamers. Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece and a testament to the enduring power of storytelling in video games.
