Although I recommend playing this game, I will have some serious criticals about it.

Despite doing everything in my power, trying my best at being good, saving this, forgiving that and such, I got the bad ending.

Just to be clear, Metro Exodus picks on the good ending of the Last Light.

Therefore I wont play the Exodus. It's that simple. Because my story ended with Last Light. If they included an alternative story in Exodus for this, it would be better.

If you're not going to provide an alternative, there's no meaning to the different outcomes, or as a player I will have to accept my outcome and refuse to play Exodus.

Last Light was a cool game. Had a cool story. Its mechanics were completely same with the Metro 2033. Ranger difficulty is not a difficulty but rather a gameplay style. I would suggest playing at that. You will feel very challenged, and if you want even more challange there are even harder dififuculties for you. It truly becames a survival challenge. In easier difficulties you wouldn't probably need to use your throwables, but in ranger mode, believe me, such events happened that my last and final resort was throwables. Only then you see the usefulness in them, and start to employ them even if you can manage with bullets. This teaches you how to be better at in game economy and such.

This is like the fifth Souls game I've played and they all boil down to the same uninteresting formula: leave Medbay (the equivalent of bonfires), poke at the edges of the map (or rather, find the breadcrumb trail of enemies you can actually beat) to find where you're supposed to go, get a little bit further, maybe upgrade once in a while, die, repeat. Branching off of that, the setting of this game is simultaneously its best part and its biggest downside. With the limb targeting, you can loot different parts of armor and weapons and upgrade in a more self-directed fashion. You have implants that give you different bonuses - additional healing potions, health upgrades based on your core power level, drone upgrades, health when you use finishers - but use the same pool of core energy that armor does, so you can't upgrade too quickly. It's a cool system that gives a lot of variety. And I just like the setting - on one hand it's a bit too Dead Space, on the other at least it's not yet another rehash of Dark Souls. But as quickly as the second area, you start facing enemy mobs that are less and less humanoid, and the limb thing goes out the window. You start facing trash mobs that can tank way too many hits. They're not difficult, they just take too fucking long. It's one thing when it's a big boss fight, it's another when you can't walk five feet without having to spar for another twenty minutes with a trash mob. Like the basic structure is still there, but it just reveals how repetitive and banal it is that much quicker. I don't have the patience to fight the same drawn out welder bot fights over and over just to plod along a Doom 3/Dead Space plot retread and I genuinely question anyone who does.

Like Lords of the Fallen, I at least appreciate that they seem to be trying a regular RPG formula with dialogue options and everything. That's a much needed improvement on the Souls franchise that's been sorely missing since the beginning.

For as long as I can remember, I have always wondered why there weren't many otome out there that don't have lewd CGs. I know otome are geared towards women and girls,  but having an adult otome shouldn't be this hard to come by, right? Well, even know in days the market for it is pretty bare, even with Western visual novels. This visual novel on the other hand checks my box for being an adult otome and one that happens to be translated in English. 

The translation is nice, it's not bad and there weren't really any mistakes that I noticed at least. There might be some, but as far as I know I didn't see anything. The main character you play as is really stunning and her personality is interesting and not really one I was expecting whenever getting into this. She can come off as harsh sometimes, and she complains a lot which could bother most people. She does get a bit better later on. With the guys there is one that is a masochist and the other one who is a sadist I believe. They don't play a lot into that but they do touch on it a bit. I like the multiple endings you can get even though there are only two romance options in this visual novel. A lot of the endings are funny gimmick endings.   

This visual novel is fully voiced. Even the sex scenes were voiced, so be aware if you do play the adult version. They can get pretty loud with the moaning and noises during those scenes. There's fair bit of them too. I was worried there were just going to be two and they would be short. That's not the case luckily but the scenes are a bit odd thinking about how would you even end up in that situation. 

The art is hit or miss. There were times where I liked the art and other times where I was like uhhhh not my favorite. I think the design for the MC was nice, however I didn't care for the guys as much as I did her. Just seeing the shorter sadistic guy is really weird, I did not think he was that cute myself and some of his angles were off putting. The CGs were okay for him though. 

Breath of the Wild is the definitive game you can truly get lost in. The world is beautifully crafted to fit the setting of a technologically advanced society that was devastated a century ago trying to rebuild. Every person you see has something to say and something to reveal about how they are dealing with the events that nearly destroyed the world. The story is simple on the surface being about a chosen hero who is tasked with finishing his mission and finally defeating the evil that has plagued the world for a century. The deeper story comes when you begin to explore and find out there is so much more to the story than just a simple premise. The war that took place had a lasting effect on everyone, including the 4 heroes who each played their own role in the war and aftermath while having unique motives and personality. Exploring seems virtually endless just due to how much there seems to be. 
The story would be able to stand on its own against many other games, but it also manages to place the story with amazing gameplay. The gameplay reflects the setting, free. One of the things that blew my mind is how many solutions every problem has in the game. Anything is a weapon and every weapon will be used eventually when fighting enemies. The combat still has me looking up videos on how to kill a small camp with twenty weapon switches and ten bombs. 
I know this game will not be for everyone, but I do highly recommend to give it a try especially if its your first Zelda title.
