When it comes to Final Fantasy the common favourite is always 7. I did play that one first and it was enjoyable yes. But 8 is the one that resonated with me more. I was hyped seeing the trailer for it on my Playstation magazine demo disc then when I finally got to play it I was blown away.
Unlike the previous FF games with the 'chibi' style character sprites, these looked like proper people. The world was fascinating, the characters were funny and relatable (I was an early teen myself) it was brilliant!
I dived headfirst into the world and probably still know it like the back of my hand now. It will always be my favourite of the lot.

Dragon Age: Origins set the scene for a fantastic world and followed your player character through an intense time over a short period as they helped stop the blight. You travelled to different cities and recruited people as you ultimately worked together to best it.
DA2 took a different route. You stayed in one city but watched it (and the characters) change over a time period of around 10 years.
This meant for a vastly different focus and tighter storylines/dialogue which I thoroughly enjoyed. Like the first game, and Mass Effect you could choose the gender of your character and how they responded to others. But here, the more you chose one 'tone' of response (helpful/sarcastic/dickish for example) the more that character would also act that way when you weren't in control too. Nice touch!
The characters you met along the way were great as well. And depending on the combination you chose to take with you on missions they would say some fantastic ambient party 'banter' to each other. Had me howling at times. Isabela and Aveline are insta picks whenever I'm playing this game.
All in all, I never understood the hate this game got, to me it was a great journey and gave a punchier Dragon Age experience.

Quite possibly one of the greatest games ever. It was like being in a movie.
An incredible journey as you, a grizzled broken man some 20 years after an outbreak, suddenly find yourself having to protect a 14 year old girl in a fractured world full of bandits and zombie-like creatures.
The story moments had such intense weight as each season progressed and the little conversation moments between them made it so real.
Never have I been drawn so much into a world that I felt like I had a daughter. I was so over protective of Ellie. She would run off round corners and I'd be like DAMMIT girl, wait!
Stellar experience not to be missed

This game is absolutely STUNNING. The environments are lush and plentiful. The music, the voice acting, the story! Just wow. It brought genuine emotion from me especially at the end.
I don't want to accidentally spoil anything as the way the story and past unfolds is just incredible. Needless you say you live in a world dominated by machines who are animal-like whilst the people are more tribal.
Aloy is a great protagonist and a pleasure to journey with. The combat is brutal at times and so satisfying. I'm glad I waited until I had upgraded my PS4 to a Pro to play it.

Great game which made good use of its mechanics and the limitations of the characters.
A harrowing, oppressive setting lifted up by the bonds made during a tough journey.
I really enjoyed playing this and the final chapters were so intense I couldn't put it down! The final fight was frustrating though and the culmination a bit... Odd. But that doesn't take away from the enjoyable journey getting there.

Super short but really enjoyable. I like kicking back with a narrative adventure every so often and experiencing a story in a different way.
This game reminded me of Prey (minus the combat and intensity). Mostly because of the space station setting and the fact that one of the things I loved most about that game was reading all the emails and notes. Getting to know the crew and figuring out how events unfolded before you got there. That is Tacoma 100% but with added 'AR' reconstructions too.
For such a short game it managed to cram in a lot in terms of the character's personalities and motivations.
Its like 3 hours long and you'll be glad you played it :)

Absolute masterpiece of a game. A high bar was set by the first game for sure and this cleared it with ease.
The upgrades to the combat system really brought that extra level of flexibility to the character movement and I loved the fact that most of the situations you get into can be approached in different ways and play styles.
The storyline was always gonna hit hard, we knew the world going in. It was raw and realistic. Really challenges a person to consider more than what they see in front of them too: giving us the opportunity to see a situation from a different perspective. It definitely left me with a lot to think about in between play sessions and has cemented this game as a firm favourite for me.
I laughed, I cried, I swooned, I yelled outloud, and I cried some more. Truly an incredible experience to play.

First off, what is the jumping mechanics in this game, second off, what could possibly be loading that makes the game freeze every 5 seconds
I hate slowly moving characters to and fro in games and it makes me lose interest and this game deals with it well. The voice acting is good. The casual mode was good enough for me ,I don’t want to redo everything in the other mode. This game deserves a play through .
Edit :- I played it through the hard mode and had to rely on hints a little more . The game is good but I feel Exhausted from searching for things too much and the game loses the fun factor when the actual things found are not so easy at without clue at all. Anyways, won't be playing any clicking adventures again I guess.
7/10 - The dialogue gets very cheesy sometimes but it was a very enjoyable and unique experience.

Definitely potential here, but it's just not ready yet
Tbh, there's a lot going for this surprisingly. The gameplay is actually solid, lots of surprising little things to keep you somewhat interested. Just not really my cup of tea
Surprisingly spooky, something about the "thwap" coming behind you constantly letting you know how close he is makes it extremely ominous, plus yannow super loud distorted audio
