Aside from some issues with how the camera functions in this game, it's a genuinely fun experience with a ton of replay value. The training mode feature is also a super good inclusion and one I hope to see more games like this add.

With a game as polarizing as this I generally do not enjoy being on the "dislike" side of it but the amount of times the story struggled to connect and flesh out any of its themes results in an experience that ultimately does not hit me with that same level of catharsis as the first game did.

A nice calm time alone or with friends.

Genuinely do not spoil yourself on this game. Play through it before you search up anything.

Not quite the masterpiece its touted up to be, however an enjoyable time nonetheless.

For a first attempt at RPG gameplay I think this game did astoundingly well, however the mechanics can leave you baffled and the game is simply too easy to break open. Story remains along the quality that the Yakuza series is known for.

Shows its age more with each passing day but its level design and creativity still remain unmatched by most. A juggernaut of quality and truly the first of its kind, Dark Souls defined and inspired a generation of games moving forward.

Give me hard drive space please.

Gave it a couple of tries but ultimately it did not hook me as much as the Fallout series did.

The middle ground between P5s superior gameplay and P3s superior story. Gameplay can get a bit tedious and it has some quirks that make it downright unfun to play on repeat runs, however the story is the main draw here and it really shines.

The web-swinging is downright fantastic and the sense of speed unmatched. Combat is very tight and response with a ton of tools to play around with even way past a 1st playthrough. Story is serviceable, I enjoyed it a lot as a Spider-Man fan.

The mini-games tend to get a little boring but luckily they're not required.

Once the novelty wears off, all you're left with is a game that can't excel in any of the sections where gacha games generally tend to. Character moments are non-existent, important story beats are told to you by fuckin' NPCs, and the gameplay quickly runs out of interesting mechanics to keep you hooked.

Still suffering from the same problems that plagued the original but the multitude of changes and upgrades to the gameplay, as well as the better writing found in the Royal sections, make this game a better choice over its original counterpart.
