A product of its time is easily one way of describing it. Of the era of being in a sea of other licensed garbage that overwhelmed the 6th generation. I've never watched any of the Sopranos, this game was released in between the fifth & sixth season of the show according to those famillar with the show itself.

You're Joey LaRocca in the mob, in this beat-em-up game (which is too familiar to yakuza). The game is quite shallow on its dialogue with it just boils down to "HEY JOEY, GRABBA TONY FOR ME WHY DONTCHA!!" And just going back and forth with the two or three characters you speak to, ready up for the mission and then you start. The combat and enemies are always janky, and you better hope that you know how to get yourself off the ground as soon as you fall down, because if you can't do that. consider yourself screwed over, especially if you're getting kicked around by 3 guys at once. After you fight that group of guys you run to the next point with you character freezing halfway through what you're doing to play a cutscene. Yeah, it's pretty cheesy and it got a good chuckle out of me from a few points in the game, but I wouldn't suggest it unless you're a fan of this show or are just looking for something that you and you're friends could just have something mindlessly stupid/fun on for this short 3 hour game.

This was my first picross game. I still don't get it. I honestly feel like a damn idiot!

Sad to see an old friend like you go. Playing this from the time I went from 2nd grade as 7 year old up to the date of its death of my senior year in high school. It's like an old lifelong friend of yours you've known for the better part of more than a decade, you now are at the final stretch of it all and everything from that time in school just comes tumbling down, starting a new leaf if you will.

Least to say, I miss those friends I made in school and seeing this game die off so close to how my life radically changed, it makes me sad.

This is one example of a game where it can be fun in the first couple of minutes but then just start to get boring. Its own attempt on emulating the controls of THPS and fell flat on its own face. The story of this game, which was shoe-horned in last minute is the most boring thing about this game and can be easily finished in less than 2 hours. Only 'reason' why I see people getting into this is for the meme of haha funny bird skating.

nothing like causing chaos and a painful time for my friends >:)

Finally a game for the hispanic people like myself.

love to always come to play this while chilling with frens in a call. Just having this game on while talking w/ people just makes time goes fast making three hours more like one hour.

A while back I bought a Bundle of some games for the Epic launcher, this was one of the many games that came along with it. With most of its influence coming directly off of games like Burnout and being developed by some of the original developers who worked on it too, it feels much of the same in that regards. Not much expanded upon, controls a bit stiff at times especially with drifting feeling weird.

The amount of cars in selection for each separate ranking from Sedans or SUVs to Formula1 cars is laughably barebones. Only leaving one for each at the start and slowly turning it to four leaving little on the customization or any to spot differences on.

The music in this non-existent, that is unless you have Spotify Premium. Cause of course shoehorn a button like that, it gets super annoying whenever starting this game if you want to have music after starting it up everytime is to go to the settings, go and press spotify and go through the process of authorizing it every time, over and over again. It is incredibly annoying!

The physics in this is incredibly awful! If you even dare give the lightest tap to a car ahead of you, you'll just crashout. Hope you're not gonna start flying mid-air cause once you're soaring you might as well have your hands up, cause I've tried to at least make some maneuver and it just won't budge at all. The way these cars interact with the walls are just weird where you could be speeding by at 150mph or higher it'll just bring it down immediately to a 0.

The tracks are some of the more lame and basic things I've seen being only 4 lane roads, 2 lane, or a corridor and slapping a new environment and calling it a day from there, no variety to it of any kind. If I was told it was a tech-demo or an AI made these tracks. I would've believed you.

It annoys me so much with how clearly unoptimpized it is when my game crashes on multiple occasions as I start getting ready to race.

This game also has a Multiplayer mode but literally no one is on it, and frankly I'm not that evil enough to torture a friend to get them on board with me on this.

I genuinely hope that the so fabled Dangerous Driving 2 after going so radio-silenced actually improves a lot more on where this game completely flat on its face. Rather than playing this game, I'd just tell you just get Burnout 3 or the remastered whether it be on an Emulator, Steam, or Gamepass. It is not even worth having for its 30USD asking price.

The only time I really have playing this game is with my friends. They're heavily into it.

This game is fucking boring and I have only put an hour into this.

My life dramatically changed when I first found out about Hatena.

it's about as one-noted as the guitar you strum in this game.
Walk mindlessly to the left/right, play simon says, and repeat.
The story itself is incredibly forgetful, but the actual visuals for itself is undeniably beautiful,

Babylon's Fall is probably the most embarrasing game Platinum has ever made. It literally cannot get worse than this.

This had me on a real rollercoaster of emotions ending with a crash and burn. Before I even mention all of my issues with this, I just want to get into saying some things that I enjoyed from this. Most of it being the art-style, the atmosphere, and it's ambience. The body horror of just getting ripped apart from a parasite that sinks its teeth into your body as you desperately try to make it through, it all sends down a creepy weird feeling that I've never felt before coming in fresh into the horror medium. Within all of it's style and it's body horror candy to the eyes, it all lacks completely within its spine holding the 'gameplay'. The weapons you obtain throughout your playthrough are as follows. a short-ranged melee jab thing, a flintlock looking pistol, a shotgun, and a grenade launcher that doesn't show up 'till the last 20 minutes of the game. Most of these weapons are all janky and are tedious to deal with in their own way. With how each of these weapons it made confused about what people were expecting out of it with the worst gunplay I've seen this year. When you're not in a fight with an uncircumcised cock that's spitting on you, you'll run into the plenty of puzzles that come in as a bit of a downtime. Generally when I had these moments come up I couldn't help but compare this to Stray. Were they enjoyable? Some of them were, it felt like most times it wasn't even that like in Act V where you had to just had to wait for a perfect time to shoot your grenades at a perfect time or something borderline stupidly impossible without understanding it like the 2nd light puzzle on the third act. Speaking of the third act and light puzzles. I had ran into a issue with this game I genuinely wouldn't have thought would be an issue with a game period. There was no manual saves to be made to save my ass. All I had to go off on was auto-saves, you might be thinking to yourself it'd be all fine and easy. Just don't think about it, it'll just go ahead and do all the work for you. But no, you'd be incredibly wrong. After getting stumped on said puzzle on said act, I had loaded up a save that sporadically actually does it's job and had to re-do an hour's worth of progress.

This game asks way too little of you to even be demanding of it's 40$ value. Don't pick it up unless you plan on playing it on Game Pass or buying at the steepest discount possible. If you're genuinely expecting something like Doom Eternal or the plentiful of other Boomer Shooters like i've seen others hype it up to be prior to launch, it's not like that at all.

We really got spoiled with the last season. This time all that is here is "totally not splatoon" chrome as the main gimmick and a middling battle pass with more marvel capeshit, funny meowskulls, Ash Williams (Halloween Event), and a pickle rick backpack (obtainable from an event).

Next season should just let me have two of those backpacks on simultaneously so i can show off how much of a corny dork i am with pickle rick and among us on the back of my galaxy skin.
