Probably my favorite game ever, love the atmosphere, the graphics, the way things flow. The singleplayer is engaging, but the gameplay is mostly plain there.
A masterclass in immersion, storytelling, worldbuilding, and atmosphere. The gameplay takes a backseat to those things, and you have to like that to fully enjoy this game, but the gameplay is still good.
I understand the issues that people had with this game, but the game made a complete 180 after launch, and became, in my opinion, the most complete Star Wars experience ever.
2021
A really relaxing game with a nice set of characters. It got repetitive at times, but the progression of the relationships felt very rewarding. Definitely a nice step back from the more stressful and demanding video games.

A very peaceful game that feels very relaxing and satisfying. Played through it in a single evening, a very adorable game.

The gameplay is really fun and engaging, if a tad clunky, but by the end it feels extremely fun to be Jesse Faden. Quite thrilling, not any real horror elements but there's a creepy vibe throughout. It's charmingly imperfect, sometimes it can get frustrating, but it's usually really good. I had a few technical issues, with a few crashes, and dialogue cutting out during important cutscenes. Really enjoyed it, despite its rougher edges. Very innovative gameplay, they really went for it and I would love to see more games like this one.

Loved this game. The story is great, the writing is amazing and made me love going to various planets and doing sidequests. The combat is pretty fun on easier difficulties, though I know it was much improved in the Legendary Edition. The voice acting is surprisingly great. It all contributes to a really good RPG experience with epic moments and characters that I love. (Played on Xbox Series X - Legendary Edition)

I loved this game as a sequel to the first. The world is more fleshed out, there are more interesting characters to interact with, and the combat is improved and deepened. The story feels a bit less epic than the first one, and occasionally the firefights can be a bit annoying, but it is a really good game overall.

A really awesome Star Wars story and experience. A bit clunky and dated in parts, but offers an interesting combat system and really makes you feel invested in the characters and their abilities. Just wish I would have played it sooner, honestly.
A really fun game. The highs aren't quite as high as the 2018 Spider-Man, but its a worthy successor, if only as more of an expansion than a sequel. It feels closer to a DLC than a full game, but it's probably a terrific experience for someone who hasn't played the first. There are changes made to the world, but at its core its the same, and the same can be said mechanically. The story is interesting, but as with the rest of the game, nothing is groundbreaking. Just a very seamless experience that can be 100% completed in 12 hours or less.
Takes a good foundation from the first game and improves upon it in every significant way, except maybe the final boss, which is still mediocre. The pacing is fantastic, with excellent variety in gameplay. The characters are much better, with a colorful cast of characters. The story is much more engaging, and the score is even better. A benchmark experience for linear action-adventures.
A good Uncharted game, but falls shy of Among Thieves. Easily my favorite part of this game is the deepened and further explored bond between Drake and Sully. Not particularly buggy unlike the first two in the Nathan Drake collection. Wish it had more of the two ladies, who had much bigger roles in Uncharted 2. The third act slows down and seems to just want to be a typical shooter, missing a lot of the history and adventure. The final boss is hilariously bad, but that's common in these games it seems. The puzzles are the best in the series, but there's not a ton of them. All in all, quite fun.
A fun addition to the franchise that I have a real soft spot for, as it was really my introduction to the franchise, having played it when it came out. Playing through the series today, it certainly doesn't stand out from a tremendous franchise, but I think it condenses it down nicely. Marisa Chase is one of my favorite characters in the franchise, with a surprising amount of depth. The Vita's touch features hold the game back at times, but also give it a bit of charm. For me, in 2022, it actually comes out as a more fun experience than the original, Drake's Fortune, or its remaster.
A really nice remaster and collection of a good trilogy. The first game, even with the improvements, shows its age badly, but isn't bad. The second game is amazing, and probably the best the genre has ever been. The third game is good, but drifted a little from the Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider influences seen in the first two. Still, one of the great video game trilogies, without a doubt.
A truly great collection of a legendary franchise, with even additional content coming years after the original releases. The definitive way to play each game in the franchise, and a way to support multiplayer for console games released decades ago. The games contained within are all great, and it is awesome that you can play them in one place.
