The best Watch Dogs ever was, far from perfect but still great, a shame Ubislop is too incompetent to build on this.

SCORE: 8/10.

You know what the best thing about the Batman Arkham series was? It never wasted your time with Bruce Wayne, the devs knew you were just there for Batman.

This series is almost the opposite, it's called "Spider-man" but it could easily be called "Peter Parker and friends", almost half of the game is throwaway content, added just to pad out the length of the game and spread "the message".

I enjoy these games for the 51% of Spider-man content in it, but I despise them for the 49% of time-wasting garbage in it, the game is also incredibly unstable, I had dozens of crashes in my time with the game.

With the exception of the wings, this game is not improved over the previous ones, it's just more of the same but bloated to the max.

SCORE: 7/10.

If you're a completionist like me, I recommend muting the game and watching some videos on your second monitor so you can distract yourself while you get through the massive amount of woke garbage in this game.

Great twist on the familiar JRPG genre, make sure to abdicate always.

SCORE: 7/10.

A Massive downgrade from the first game in every way.

The graphics/art style is significantly worse than the original, this game looks like a cheap knockoff of the first one, like it was made by a different studio, it reminds me of what it felt like to try to play Batman Arkham origins after playing the real Rocksteady trilogy.

The world just feels wrong, the exploration was so good in the first one but in this one it feels disjointed, the original felt curated and well though out like eating a five course meal at a Michelin star restaurant, everything made sense and was well paced whereas this one feels like it was thrown together without much thought, like raiding the fridge at 3 AM.

Combat is also worse, spells have been massively downgraded and there are 3 weapons to choose from but they all feel kinda sluggish whereas the Mea Culpa just felt perfectly tight and precise.

The story, characters and overall tone feel childish compared to the first game, I really don't understand what the point of trying to broaden the appeal of the game is when the genre of the game itself is deeply unpopular nowadays anyway, the devs should've gone all the way and changed it to a 3rd person souls-like if they wanted more sales so badly, this halfway measure just sucks for everyone.

I love metroidvanias and there just aren't a whole lot of them out there unfortunately, so I'll just force myself to finish this one even though I think it's a really terrible sequel.

I saw that the first one got a massive graphical upgrade at some point, so I'm hoping against hope that the same will eventually happen to this one.

SCORE: 4/10.

A Good metroidvania but frankly way too difficult for my taste, had to give myself infinite flasks to be able to play through it, it's a good game but there's a LOT of room for improvement here, hopefully the 2nd one fixed everything.

SCORE: 7/10.

This was the last NBA 2K game with an offline mycareer, but you don't get a story or access to the neighborhood which means you don't get almost any kind of customization except from hair and beard, it's basically just a worse version of mygm, again.

SCORE: 7/10.

You must be online to access mycareer... ♥♥♥♥ 2K!

Can't play mycareer offline.

Yet another open-world western RPG, if you played one you played 'em all, but hey, there's a reason we keep playing them, they're good, solid, albeit repetitive fun.

Most typical open-world western RPG tropes apply here minus the "click here to reveal the map" towers thankfully, crafting ends way too soon, you'll probably end up playing 80% of the game with the traveler armor if you're a completionist kinda guy and that sucks, NG+ is also present which is always awesome to see.

The combat is genuinely great, filled with tension and rewarding moments as long as you play in lethal mode, otherwise it's a boring slog filled with way too many bullet sponges (or katana sponges in this case lol).

The story and characters are good enough, the setting by itself ensures the story is interesting (feudal Japan is the GOAT story setting let's be honest).

The game suffers from constant severe stuttering which will never be fixed since the devs refuse to admit it's happening in the first place despite the overwhelming amount of evidence online, it also has the longest load times I can remember in a game released in recent years, after most deaths I was having to wait nearly a full minute for the game to load, and that's on a 7GB read/write NVMe SSD.

SCORE: 7/10.

Not a souls-like but rather the greatest hack-and-slash game ever made, filled to the brim with character, soul, emotion and incredibly competent (albeit still flawed) gameplay.

Horrendous hitboxes and a lack of combos bring this game down quite a bit, however perfect beginning and ending sequences that I genuinely believe may be the greatest in gaming history bring this game into masterpiece territory.

SCORE: 10/10.
