Overhated. I'm willing to look past its flaws as it has the same flaws as any open world game, lots of markers on map, stupid collectibles, etc. This game got me into gaming, loved the story (except Desmonds ending) and just everything about it. Connor is my favourite protagonist, loved the connection between him and Haythem and the setting. Combat peaked here, Connor was an absolute killing machine, great set pieces and moral fighting between the Templars and Assassins. The DLC was super fun and creative as well, and the multiplayer was a hidden gem part of the game. The parkour was fun and stealth aspects but they could've been done better, but for the time it was good.

Was a great game, great mystery, puzzles, keeps you hooked and the story was pretty good until that twist😭.

What were they thinking??!! The whole game just kinda falls after that.

James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe!!! Amazing voice actors and I hope we see more actors in games.

Wow. This one is a doosy. Detroit and Heavy Rain are on a different level compared to this one.

This game is forgettable, and just boring. Hans Zimmer scored this and I couldn’t even tell.

Graphics are nice, atmosphere and tone of the game isn’t bad, and the gameplay is fine not really Quantics string suit.

I don’t drop many games, rarely I do so this says a lot lol.

Great game.

Amazing mechanics, super rewarding and punishing, great levels and overall design.

Soundtrack was awesome! The cyberpunk futuristic style is great, although I wish the universe and story was explored more like it’s so interesting I wish they went more into it.

It’s too hard for me, and I just don’t have the time to play right now. Definitely will go back to it eventually.

Alright.
I don't understand how anyone could give this game a 10/10 like the story is HILARIOUSLY bad. Like I honestly can't believe they had 11 years and this is what they came up with. It felt like a knockoff of DMC 5 and Spider-Man No Way Home but on like extreme drugs and doing those drugs makes you illiterate so what you end up writing is just all over the place, which is the point kinda but it's not done in a good way.

Bayonetta 1&2 are not known for their masterful storytelling but they were interesting, coherent enough, and got the job done. The first one had demons, second one had angels. And the enemies were cool and interesting and even the main villain was a little compelling.

Here, oh my goodness. Quite possibly one of the worst villains ever I still don't know his name, singularity? Don't even know his motivations, what he wanted, he's just a terrible villian.

The enemy designs aren't generic and they are fun to fight against but they just feel hollow and lifeless compared to the ones fought in 1 and 2, the designs are bad and names aswell and just bad it feels like the enemies you would see in a generic sci-fi movie.

The new character Viola, is surprisingly not as bad as I thought she was gonna be but still bad. She is a Nero clone. But at least Nero has redeeming qualities such as gameplay and he has a pretty good personality and arsenal and motivations. Can't say the same for Viola. Not fun to play, boring, generic, underused.

The gameplay is great very very good although it does feel like a little something is missing at times but it's awesome close to perfection.

Soundtrack. Oh man. Phenomenal. Violas theme is a really good and just very well done as it should be.

The new arsenal of weapons were awesome too very creative and different.

The Jeanne sections were really fun and a nice change of pace and great references to metal gear and persona haha.

Great graphics, and the action is amazing you can really feel the scope of all the fights and it goes crazy.

And the ending is quite possibly one of the worst I have seen in my life. Absolutely terrible and does ruin the franchise, I am so so much more grateful for how DMC 5 came to be because that's how you do a sendoff for your main characters and pass the torch not whatever this was.

Overall, a pretty great game. Unfortunately the weakest aspect was the story which kind of breaks it for me. Phenomenal gameplay, soundtrack, and loads and loads of creativity and experimentation I loved it and lots of replay valu. The 11 year wait was kinda worth it but kinda not honestly playing this game just made me wanna play DMC V due to how bad the story is in this game. Replaying it for me will be hard because of the story. You feel no emotion or anything it's just all over the place. Could've been a lot better, but what we got excluding story was pretty great.

8/10

Oh my days. They outdid themselves, everything is better than the first game. What an amazing story and game.

The set pieces.

This is the Uncharted 2 of transformers.

The grimlock missions were so dope, the final mission and boss, combat, playing as different autobots and Decepticons. The weapons, upgrade system.

Masterpiece. Really wish we got one on earth but this is one of the best duologys of all time.

Only single complaint is only one Bumblebee mission and he loses his voice off screen :(

10/10 must play

This game. What a banger.
Even if this was like a $50 game my days it would be worth it and I've played it for an hour only.

It's devil may cry meets sunset overdrive meets jet set radio meets anime meets comic.

Based on that alone you should play it.

Gave it a 10, everything is sick the soundtrack, gameplay, animations, characters, story.

If It changes I'll update this but looks like it won't.

This game is simply a masterpiece, what gaming should be about.

EDIT: Beat the game and it's a masterpiece, I wasn't wrong. So fun.

Okay, I came back to review this game since unbound came out and I've been playing it.

This game, was finally the first good modern NFS in what felt like eternity. I think that's part of the reason I love it so much.

This is legitimately. Just. A. Great. Game.

EA finally learnt, no bs mtx, and just a full game. Also this went on sale fairly quick so it was easily worth 50$. I would kind of struggle to pick this up at full price tho icl and here's why. AND ENGINE SWAPING WOOOO! Cars look, sound, and look amazing oh man. So good.

The story is meh. Gets the job done. Part of the reason why I dropped the rating too. So cringe and just mid.

The gameplay is great, super solid, smooth, and pure arcade fun. The night and day system is awesome, and multiplayer is seamless. Night is especially fun with friends. Switching is also seamless. I wish the city felt more full of life but the map is big and there's a lot to do, does feel tedious at times.

The UI design, and design elements are awesome too. Feels like NFS. Super well done.

Finally. A Banging soundtrack too. Very solid. And the city is pretty good too. Could use people tho.

It never feels like a grind to unlock anything or do anything, go at ur own pace, and the game opens up fairly quickly. I had awesome cars like 2 hours in.

Car customization is back, and you don't have to spend money! Rocket bunny, whatever u want make ur dream car. It's so dope.

Ton of customization and variety here, I never got bored. Races are well thought out and designed well.
Sounds great right?

Here's where we have a problem.

AI. The racing in the day the ai is fine, could be better, but night. Man. It's really fun, but it's so bs. The cops rubber and, just catch up to u in 5 seconds. It feels cheap and rage inducing most of the time. It's just frustrating when u get above 3.

Then, there was the lack of content on ps5 patch. EA just decided to abandon this game. I was so excited for the ps5 patch but they never made it. Huge missed opportunity, and huge miss not supporting the game further.

But a great game nonetheless, finally a solid foundation for NFS, and hopefully EA keeps it up, which looks like they are as Unbound improves on almost everything. I'll definitely be happy to play this in the future, when it becomes nostalgic. Already kind of is. So many vibes in 2019 before COVID.

8/10
