Subnautica: "Do you have thalassophobia"

Everyone: "No"

Subnautica: "Would you like to?"

I played this game so much back in the day. I luckily didn't pay any money for it. But this was one my favorite city building games. It sucks that the game was shut down. But I had a fun time with it when it was available. I loved the character design, getting to see your favorite Marvel heroes as teenagers was a neat twist. And leveling them up to slowly unlock their actual suits was a neat concept.

I could see that the devs really cared about the game. And it seemed like a passion project for a lot of people. I also loved the end event. Where you got so much gold and gems that you could practically do anything you want during the last two weeks. Which is something that made me respect the devs even more.

Am I the only one that despised this game? It was one of the most repetitive games I’ve ever played, without any of that LEGO creativity outside of the cutscenes (which were genuinely great). The combat solved everything, as a blaster hero. You didn’t need to take cover once. Since you can just tank the damage and kill all the enemies. And this is coming from someone who deliberately DIDN’T upgrade his health and damage. It’s just too easy that it’s braindead.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens did combat far better. Cover shooting is a vital mechanic, instead of practically useless, Which made the game more challenging and more fun. You could have dozens of stormtroopers shooting you at the same time.

Meanwhile in the Skywalker Saga. I struggle to even find ten enemies on the screen at the same time. The Geonisian arena looks desolated and empty. It looked far better ten years ago in LEGO Star Wars 3.

And like I said. I can barely find creativity in the game. Yeah, the cutscenes are AMAZING, I definitely agree with that. But the levels are extremely boring, when building something. It’s usually just an object you need. Gone are the days where you build massive things, that play a wacky animation and keep you invested. The game could have just had a chibi or minimalist artstyle. And barely anything would change to the gameplay. It doesn’t do anything unique with the LEGO IP.

Please don’t think of me as a hater. It was one of my most anticipated games since it was revealed, but I just can’t defend it. I’ve played all the movies except Rise of Skylander. Because I just couldn’t play anymore. It was genuinely so boring.

An amazing game. I'm a massive mythology nerd, so seeing a comedic adaptation. Narrated by the most mythologically accurate Zeus I have seen is just an amazing idea. He is funny, and for a 12+ game. It talks a lot about sex (which isn't a bad thing, since it is basically all the gods do), which I respect. The story had me laughing out loud a lot, and the character design is amazing.

The combat is also great, it is mostly about stamina management. Which makes it engaging, though a bit easy with the right builds. The enemy variety is pretty lacking, but it only becomes an issue if you are going for the platinum.

The biggest issue I have is the puzzles, they are the best part of the game. And the worst. There were some great ones, but at the end. They become really repetitive. During the last of the 4 main dungeons. I was so fatigued that I dropped the game for a few months.

I started disliking the game during the post game grind. I loved the game, so I thought I'd go for the platinum trophy. Which is a big mistake. The only fulfilling post game are the quests for the gods and the four mythical bosses. Which may or may not have already been beaten before the final boss. Since you can do them whenever. After these missions, all are the game becomes is unbelievably grindy and boring. You become strong enough that no enemy is a threat, puzzles use the same mechanics, so they don't pose a challenge as well. And I was so relieved to finally be done. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and will probably be my last Ubisoft platinum.

Long story short: I love this game. It's gorgeous, funny and fun. But just stop after beating the game, the post game is lacking after beating the four mythical bosses and it doesn't offer rewards that are worth the grind

A pretty good game. The graphics are impressive, especially for mobile. The gameplay is fun, and the character design is solid.
It's a little disappointing that it is a gatcha game. But at least you can get your first legendary weapon and an extra character fairly easily. And after getting those, you don't really NEED any other gear. They are a fun addition. But far from to play most of the content

Overall, this is definitely one of the better mobile games I've played in a while, though that doesn't say much, since the gatcha mechanics do bring it down massively.
