A jaw-dropping game with a nice story and some underwhelming gameplay and puzzles.
Let's start with the most obvious thing: this game looks insanely good! One of the most, if not the most realistic-looking game ever.
The combat is unfortunately extremely similar to the first game's and some puzzles too, I was disappointed by that. There's also less combat here than in the first game iirc, but it seemed like there was more walking and cutscenes here.
At first, it bothered me, I wanted more gameplay elements. But I realized that a combat focused game isn't what they're going for and then I started enjoying it more. I still would've liked an improved combat system but we got some incredible animations so I guess it was a fair trade.
Animation wise it's also really, really good, from the combat sequences to the more calm ones where you're just looking around, everything is incredibly well animated. The music is also amazing! Gives a lot of atmosphere and tension to the world.
The story is okay. I didn't get very attached to most characters aside from Senua, the game isn't very long and you spend quite a bit of it alone so yeah. There was also a very predictable plot point that I saw coming from a mile away. The ending is pretty good! I think it's a good ending for the franchise.
I'm very interested in what's next for Ninja Theory!

Banger soundtrack and gameplay, the story is a bit confusing due to the constant timeline changing.
There's some bs sections that are very frustrating, you can get shot by an enemy that's offscreen but overall the level design is pretty solid.
Would like to see a sequel or another game similar to this!

Tried this out for 1h30 and it's just not for me. I'm not a huge fan of games that revolve a lot around crafting so that turned me off a lot already.
The game looks good and you can have a varied build with several powers and the building system seems to be pretty good!
So yeah, the game's decent, just not for me.

I was expecting to enjoy this a bit more and I would have if the performance wasn't GARBAGE. Couldn't even hold stable 60fps at medium/low settings with FSR2 ON, absolutely insane.
The story is fine, some moments didn't really impact me as the gamw wants it to.
The graphics had a nice upgrade from what I could see when the game didn't ran like it was on a ps3.
The gameplay also has some cool upgrades, there's more combat moves, stances, powers, all very welcome, but the combat still feels very weird, it's not very responsive and sometimes you'll be fighting multiple enemies and it's a pain in the ass. There's a stance where you can cancel attack animations by blocking so it helps a bit in this regard but the other stances don't have this.
The game has bigger areas now, I didn't really explore a lot tbh, I'd have spent more time with the game if it was actually optimized, I just did the main story and a couple side things here and there.
Overall, it's a nice sequel although it runs terribly on pc and could've improved the combat's responsivity.

This game has some of the worst voice acting I've heard, it's super monotonous.
The visuals are pretty nice, the gameplay is what you expect from a walking sim and the story is okay.
If the voice acting was better the game would also be way better.

1998
I finally played Metal Gear Solid. D A M N.
What an amazing game, I only have a few criticisms. I'll start with that.
There's some backtracking that's sometimes boring and the gameplay is (obviously) quite clunky since it's a 26 year old game but it works fine most of the time.
Everything else I really liked, the visuals, the locations, the characters, the story, the music... All really, really good.
The boss fights are also very cool, some can be a bit annoying due to the gameplay being clunky tho.
I can't imagine how people must've felt playing this in 1998. Wish we got a game now that is as revolutionary as this was for its time but that's problably not gonna happen.
I'm excited to play MGS2!

IT'S PEAK!!! Gonna write a proper review after I have more playtime, but it is super fun from what I've played.
UPDATE 1: I have 9h of playtime right now and the game's overall really good, just needs some tweaks in the gameplay. Some enemies feel too spongy, the dodge feels weird and some weapons too imo. You can also stunlock enemies after destroying their armor lol, makes the game slightly easier. Dunno if these were intentional so it can be a bit different from Hades 1 but the gameplay feels a bit off. It's still in EA so this willl probably get adressed.

Helldivers 2 was one of 2024's biggest hits so far until people realised you had to link a psn to your steam account, which makes the game unplayable/unavailable in tons of countries, I hope this either gets worked around or removed for those people.
Now about the game itself, the gameplay is pretty fun, the gunplay feels really good, you can have tons of fun with friends and sometimes with randoms too. It gets a bit repetitive after a while like most GAAS but it's always pretty fun, I'm not a big fan of having guns locked behind "paid" passes. They can be unlocked freely if you grind them out but you'll probably not have one completed when another gets released. If the game was f2p this'd be understandable but the game is 39,99€.
Anyway, I hope Sony works with Arrowhead to work around this account stuff and keep working on the game.

6.5/10
A rpg that has some very interesting ideas but the execution wasn't very good imo. Not having how to transversal the map in any other way besides walking around becomes a hassle after a while, specially when going to distant locations.
The story was also very underwhelming, it started out pretty nicely but then it quickly got boring. I also didn't really care for any characters...
Now onto what I liked about it! The gameplay, music and visuals held up nicely, The gameplay can be frustrating at times when dealing with certain enemies but most of the time it works fine. Graphically it has a very pleasing aesthetic, it can be a very chill game during the day and spooky by night. The enemy designs (mostly bosses') are really, really good! The music was also nice, it made the game have even more of a nice atmosphere.
I really wanted to love this game... I was during the first couple hours but the fast travel also being limited to items also felt like an unnecessary choice to make you buy or actually having to go search specific items to do so...

I had already played this for a couple hours on PS4, so it was nice playing it again and paying more attention this time around.
The visuals, soundtrack, story/lore all very good and interesting, you're always curious to learn more about this universe. I think the gameplay gets a bit stale after a while, some parts can be very confusing and one thing that really bothered me was that you could only see the logs from stuff you've found in your ship.
That aside, this is a pretty unique game and if you like slow paced games this is amazing for you!! I didn't play the dlc, maybe in the future.

A Plague Tale: Requiem improves in most aspects from the previous game, the gameplay is pretty much the same with some QOL improvements, the areas are bigger and more detailed now, more enemy variety, new items to use, the graphics are also really, really good too.
The story is nice although I wasn't a huge fan of some parts and reveals, I wasn't very attached to other characters besides Amicia and Hugo so some moments weren't very impactful.
I also would've liked some more improvements to the gameplay, it still feels a bit clunky like in the first game.
Overall, it's a solid sequel and a nice ending to the franchise.

Although the gameplay didn't change in many ways, the story was more interesting than 2033's.
The gameplay is still okay, it gets the job done.
Graphically it still looks quite nice!
I'm interested to play Exodus.

Skaramazuzu is a beautiful looking game with simple gameplay and a nice story and fun dialogues.
The map can sometimes be a bit confusing and the puzzles are very boring imo but the rest of the games makes up for it!

Very generic and the english translation is ocasionally HORRIBLE.
The plot, characters, twists were all meh. The game isn't very long so you can have a decent time with it.

Although there is more puzzle variety and a new enemy type and weapon, the story took a very weird turn near the end, which should be in the base game.
The story also isn't that interesting anymore and the final boss battle is atrocious, it glitched for me like 3/4 times. The boss would get stuck inside a wall and I had to restart from the latest checkpoint.
The twist also felt like a "Got ya!" moment instead of an actually well done one.
