deeeeeeeeeee
this really is the most game to be ever made
it's got a super detailed and gorgeous world, the music is pretty good, the ui design, visuals, etc are all well made and it's technically pretty sound so it's super confusing as to why everything about the game itself is just bad
the "loop" and grind is all horribly designed and borderline nonsensical, the gunplay is awful because all the bad guys have a billion health and the loot and the systems around it suck
ubisoft moment

im extremely pleasantly surprised that this game is so good, it’s honestly an absolutely staggering leap in quality from the first game, that sony money is fuckin crazy
it’s incredibly fun, chaotic and hilarious, and it’s another great recent entry into the “4 player coop game where you play as a bunch of shmucks doing stupid shit” genre
i especially love that they leaned even more into the starship troopers since the first game, it’s such a good tone and it fits this kind of game really really well
there’s some issues with servers/matchmaking and progression that kind of sour the experience so far and i hope to see a lot of the missing stuff from the first game come back at some point (vehicles and mechs soon pls) but otherwise this game has absolutely consumed my time over the past half week and im already eager to hop back in

fun indie game that flew under the radar big time unfortunately
has some solid ideas and a fun tone, albeit one that is very subdued ingame and is mostly only in trailers, probably due to either budget reasons or limitations from it being a twin stick shooter (which might be a bit of a hard sell to some)

2017
(referring to the campaign not the ongoing mp)
for honor’s story mode is a weird little relic in the middle of this live service game
it’s stuck in the days of 2017 with all the long gone mechanics and old balancing, so it makes for a pretty neat time capsule, though playing through it again for the first time in like 8 years, it’s also pretty evident as to why it was never really liked
aside from some pretty solid setpieces and some boss fights that are almost good, the whole campaign is a tedious slog through repetitive objectives and enemies, hilariously bad voice acting and writing that is unremarkable at best and painful at worst
some attempts are made to remedy the tediousness but most of them kinda just fall flat? like a weird horse riding section and a… turret section? what?
not to mention it’s also like. incredibly easy? i beat the whole thing in the highest difficulty and died less than 10 times total
it’s weird because there definitely could have been a pretty decent game here but it feels like the campaign didn’t have the greatest budget

lol this update blows
microsoft pulled the plug on funding so what was clearly meant to be a full season got butchered and sold in the store to cash out
the new map and other stuff is fun and all but yeah this game’s done for
shame that this had to happen right as they were making it good. oh well

1997
played it through the nightdive port on steam, was pretty good!
weapons felt surprisingly satisfying to use and had better variety i feel than the ones in Q1 and the levels felt for the most part pretty solid for a 1997 game
the change in tone/setting from Q1 is extremely jarring though, it still did start dragging its feet by the end and the boss was.. better by default (it felt like a bossfight) but still not great
also this game might actually have the worst weapon wheel in history, so much so it taught me to use hotkeys for once

some absolutely gorgeous and incredibly designed quake levels
i think unlike dimension of the past this feels like its own thing, it's like if quake was made a few years later
it's still quake though which means it couldn't make a decent boss to save its life, kinda deflating to end off such a good streak of cool ass levels with a wimpy boss for the finale but whatever lol

pretty solid set of levels though it kind of feels like "more quake" rather than its own thing
it's likely due to the lack of new weapons/enemies, but even then it's some good quake-ing

the feel of this game has aged so gracefully that i can forgive some of the annoying enemies and the fact that half the weapons are just another weapon but again
still confused about that final boss though lmao

it's solid but after eternal this game feels completely redundant lol
there's some things i miss from here (why does melee deal 0 damage in eternal what) but overall i see no reason to ever play it again aside from maybe the multiplayer since it's pretty fun

starts off super strong, the hammer is really fun to use and the levels are still great
the grapple movement puzzles are a bit easy but overall more fun than previous movement puzzles
unfortunately the enemies are even worse than in tag1, they're all just reskins of existing enemies with lame/annoying mechanics, the final boss fight is astoundingly terrible and unfun and the story just kind of ends
the optional levels in the escalation encounters are a cool idea but they kind of peak with the first one? the 2nd and 3rd are for some reason way easier and dont feel anywhere near as rewarding to beat
idk, wasnt the biggest fan even if i wish i could take the hammer to the main game/tag1 because it's everything i wish the crucible was lol

pretty solid expansion, the new levels are great, they look fantastic and have some really fun encounters
bit light on new mechanics, really its just the support rune and a few new enemies
speaking of enemies, oh my god these new ones suck
their weaknesses are just kind of not fun to deal with

originally played it in 2020 on gamepass but replayed it now on steam since i have the dlcs
great gameplay, great music and cool visuals
though its funny that for the game that they tried hyping up a "doom universe" for, this story kinda fuckin blows lmao
overall game's still really fuckin good

it’s so fuckin good
banger music, banger art, fun story/characters and super satisfying combat
it’s oozing with style and has enough accessibility features so that even people bad at rhythm games can enjoy it
please play it

i think it’s a solid game i’m just sick of people hyping it up as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ Himself™️ that was deliberately sabotaged by the Illuminati, when it’s really just a decent shooter that had a terrible launch
it’s like people feel bad for ignoring it so they’re trying to make it up to the game by hyping it up at every waking moment
