On the one hand, some of the gameplay isn't as solid as it could be and the way it portrays trans identities isn't very good. Anti-capitalist themes are present, but lack much depth. Besides a couple of standout moments, it lacks any real punch in that regard
On the other, those stand out moments are really good and the central story between V and Johnny is absolutely spectacular. The writing shines whenever Keanu is on screen.
Also completing (Don't Fear) The Reaper was one of my favourite video game experiences ever

Spent like the first 5 hours thinking "It can't be as good as people make it out to be".
Oh boy, it definitely is. This is now the third (fourth technically, but I haven't finished that one yet) Persona game to leave me emotionally broken. What a series

So I did a NG+ run up to 1/20 to get all the trophies, cuz I fucked up my time management in the first playthrough and didn't finish two of the social links. Finally did it, also fused the ultimate persona so I'm not complaining anymore. Now that I've gotten my thoughts in order, this is what I have to say:
Life is precious, life is worth living. No matter how little time we have on this world, we should use it to the fullest. The connections we make are important and every single second we spend with those closest with us is invaluable. We don't have to be special to find meaning. All we need to do is live and care about those around us.
Is that an original theme? No. Did it break me, a person who has at many points in his life considered killing himself? Yeah, it did

No the start date isn't wrong, that's how fucking long it took me to finish it.
I've already talked about my many problems with this game's writing, but to put it shortly, while the majority of choice scenes could be called 'poorly aged moments from 2008', I would argue many of them where outdated before the game even came out.
Otherwise, it's a Persona game. Yeah it's my least favourite so far, but it's still incredible, so I can't really fault it that much

So um, I don't really know how to gather my thoughts on this one. Still sort of broken after finishing it. All I can say is after the credits started rolling, I spent the next 10 mins loudly sobbing. I can't remember the last time that happened to me with any piece of art, let alone a video game. Yeah, that's it for now
While many problems from Renegade remain present, I can overlook them because of the improved starfighter combat, ground to space maps and the ambitious attempt to restore the campaign of BF3. It may not always work, but it brings back some of the charm that was missing from the last one
I preordered my copy in February, a week after it was available in my country.
This was perhaps my most hyped video game ever. So it would only be fitting that it ended up being my favourite. It was a sequel to my previous favourite after all.
Nothing short of a masterpiece

Yes I got all the achievements. Fuck the food one.
I started this game because I was bored and wanted to play an FPS. Honey I got sucked in bad. I went from someone who was ambivalent towards this franchise to someone who had incredibly strong opinions on it.
The Mojave is like a home to me

If we were to look at this objectively, maybe the game is better than I think it is. But of all the games I've played, I fail to think of one I've forgotten about as fast and cared for as little as Fallout 4. I genuinely cannot remember a single one that has left me this empty and emotionless. I love this series and as someone who adores shitty and poorly aged games, I was prepared to cut it some slack. It just didn't give me anything to hang on to.
Played with the PSX ost patch, worth it.
I get that some people will just always be turned off by how old school it is, but man this is just a perfect distillation of everything that makes Persona special. Every game has it's strong suits and and weaker parts that others do better, but P1 (at least to me) is the most well rounded in the series. It's not the best gameplay-, music- and story-wise, it's themes aren't as interesting as P3 imo. I wouldn't say it does anything better than other games in the series, but it does everything really well.
It really does feel like the first one in the series. And I mean that in a good way.

The fact that you can punch Philemon at the end of the game was something spoiled to me like a year ago and originally, I didn't get why someone would do that.
I do now

I really, really enjoyed my time with this game. I got annoyed at the occasional boss sure, but the combat itself was fun, the atmosphere was incredible and the soundtrack still holds up. It's also just cool to look back and see how this series started

Having spent way too much time on DICE's Battlefront 2, I was expecting a lot. What I got was... enough. Could have been way better, but I had my fun
I'm logging this as PS4, because that's where the majority of my time was, but I played this game on two different PS4s, my Xbox and my PC with mods. Playtime is very much an approximate
What can I even say about the only game I've spent 300 hours in other than possibly Minecraft. Abilities, map chokepoints, weird little quirks that were never really patched, hell I played this before the progression rework, still remember what a hellhole the game was back then. This is probably the only multiplayer game I've ever fallen in love with. And it brought me happiness in very dark times in my life. So it'll always be special to me

You know those games that just rewire your brain chemistry? Yeah this was one of them
