A very clunky masterpiece that I bought for 50p today.

2016

Can’t believe I thought this was a mindless shooter, great game.

The game started off very strong. I really enjoyed the combat, especially combining abilities in many different ways. I really liked the art style too. The story gets extremely messy just after the halfway point and I found myself tuning out sadly. It’s okay.

Definitely my favourite TellTale story. I love the world and characters. The game is paced brilliantly and has really shocking twists while having an outstanding, grounded story. It also has a fantastic, ambiguous ending.

Whilst the immersive simulator genre isn’t for me personally, Hitman 3 is definitely my favourite of its kind. You can tell the levels are crafted with a lot of care and there’s lots of ways to achieve your objectives which is a little overwhelming for me but that in no way makes it a bad game. I think it’s great.

Overall I enjoyed this game but I have a lot of issues with it. Whilst I think the gameplay early on was amazing and the things you can do in the game are brilliant but by the end of the game I felt bored due to a lack of mission variety. More indoor sequences would’ve been great too as opposed to always being open world. Most maps feel unfinished, and boss battles become glorified damage sponges. While I love the stealth gameplay the actual combat leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. All those issues aside, listening to the tapes makes the game a lot better narratively for me and gives Venom Snake a lot more personality I wish you saw more in game.

Really enjoyed revisiting a game that I adored as a child. Lots of quality of life improvements and is really a great remake. The game is still absolutely hilarious and I can’t wait for the sequels remake as I preferred that one.

A surprisingly fun gem that shocked me with how much I enjoyed it. I’m not a fan of roguelikes but I found this to be very forgiving compared to others I’ve played.
