This game taught me patience and persistence. The difficulty is frustrating enough to cause you to want to quit, but the mechanics, world, music, characters, and more combine to keep drawing you back in.
Pretty much the pinnacle of immersive sims thus far. Prey provides interesting enemy design, a dazzling array of abilities and weapons, and a beautiful, immaculately planned environment to use them all in.
Pros:
- Amazing level design
- Amazing level design
- Interesting enemy design (visual and gameplay)
- A general feeling of cohesiveness you rarely get
- Innovative mechanics
- Interesting story (including minor subplots to be unraveled)
Cons:
- Facial animation of npcs can be quite a distraction
Incredible music, lighting, voice acting, writing, and a near game ruining ending that is just so incredibly bad from both a gameplay and story perspective. But really, it's just a sour 45 minutes at the end that doesn't undo the incredible work done throughout the game before that.
Can’t say enough good things about this game. From character work that you’d expect from BioWare to a rewarding combat system once you get half way through the game. Had a blast playing it and continuing the Dragon Age story.
It’s not quite Dragon Age Origins but I enjoyed it a lot more that Dragon Age 2. My main criticisms are the combat not fully clicking till mid game and the glitches/bugs that occur. The is way more room to grow on Frostbite which includes how the characters walk. Overall though I put in 100 hours including then Trespasser DLC and I miss my companions.

Detroit Become Human is set in a near future where androids is a fully-realized dream. The androids does everything the humans ask them to do, until suddenly, some of them begin to stand up for themselves. In the game, you play as 3 of these androids. During the game you'll constantly make choices for each of them, which will heavily influence the course of the story. The game continues no matter what, even if a main character dies. The main characters are all really likeable, and so is the story. A lot of the performances given by the voice actors are simply incredible!
The game's main story is very reminiscent of history events like the black rights movement, which might feel a little cliche for some people, but I personally didn't have a problem with it.
Now, one of the biggest flaws of the game is that it's gameplay consists only of quick-time events and choice-making. It's pretty much an interactable movie. This is the reason why a lot of people doesn't like the game. I personally really liked it though, as I thought the main story was very compelling, but I felt it was a little woke that main characters could die as a result of you failing a quick-time event.
The graphics are also incredible, and the soundtrack is great as well.
Pros:
• Compelling main story
• Great performances
• Soundtrack and graphics
Cons:
• A lot of quick-time events
• Not a lot of gameplay
Overall score:
7/10: Great

Resident Evil 2 is a remake of the classic horror game from 1998. I never played the original, so I can't compare this one to it. To start, the game is a horror game, so it's very scary. I'm not much into horror games, but I enjoyed the game. I felt like it didn't throw too many jumpscares at you. There are especially many jumpscares in the beginning of the game, which suits the vibe of you being new in town. In some parts of the game, you'll be constantly followed by the terrifying Tyrant, an unstoppable enemy. This forces you to move quick and these parts are very intense.
The game is about 8 hours long, but never feels dragged out. The game has two main protagonists, Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield. Leon is on his first day as a cop when the game takes place, meanwhile, Claire is coming to the city to look for her brother. Before starting the game you'll get to pick who to play as. I would recommend playing through the game at least two times to experience both the protagonist's stories, even though much of it is the same.
The gameplay primarily consists of exploration, puzzles, and survival. The ammunition is very scarce, so you'll have to make your bullets count. The zombies take a lot of bullets to kill, so you'll have to only use your guns when necessary. The puzzles are very diverse and fun to solve, which is great considering that they take up a large sum of the game.
The final thing I want to talk about is the graphics. The lighting is simply phenomenal, and the amount of detail on faces is impressive. This makes the game very immersive to play, and therefore also scarier.
Overall Score: 9/10 - Amazing
+ Intense gameplay
+ The two protagonists each have their own stories, boosting replayability.
+ Stunning graphics with great lightning effects
+ Fun and diverse puzzles
- The game is a little short

Enjoyable for a while, but the gameplay is somehow weird and the game gets monotonous after a couple of championships. I very much prefer playing the classic it was inspired by: Out Run. Or any other better arcade racing game like Wipeout.
It seemed like a good enough platformer and it has nice visuals but I don't particularly like platformers and I have no idea what that was about.

Playtime: 2h
Enjoyment: 6/10
Recommendation: It was alright but not my cup of tea.
This game is an absolute blast. It has just the right amount of Dark Souls heart but lightens up on the difficulty (that's a good thing). There's still a good amount of challenge to be found but, for me, it trades frustration for enjoyment. Gameplay aside, I loved the characters, art style, and really enjoyed the story. But I still hate silent protagonists.
Date Completed: 2020-02-11
Playtime: 33h
Enjoyment: 9/10
Recommendation: I'll be first in line if there's a Code Vein 2!
Finally, a good Star Wars game.

Good: Story, Combat style
Bad: Should have a side quests, or companion quests for the price of the game.

Going in with no expectations, A Plague Tale tells an engaging story with beautifully grotesque visuals and a talented crew of voice actors. The gameplay is hit or miss, and sometimes doesn't lend itself to the story the game is trying to tell. The crafting mechanics layered on top only served to distract me from the story and get me out of character to look for materials. Sometimes the scarcity made things more intense, but the game always provides you with the materials you need to get through any part of the game.
Keep expectations low and just enjoy the story. Ignore the crafting as much as possible, and take comfort knowing this isn't a branching story. Get immersed, get into character, and enjoy the ride.

It’s hard to say which one is more clunky, the buggy graphics and poor controls or the story of racist animals.
The world building and character acting is ambitious but far from makes up for the lackluster story beats and gameplay.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore plays like a Shin Megami Tensei game with just a splash of Fire Emblem more than it does an equal part marriage of the two.
The turned based battle system is familiar feeling with a few new bits, consisting mainly of the attack chains (known as “sessions”) that build and build as the story progresses. These onslaughts of blades and magic keep the colorful battles bombastic and entertaining.
With a delightfully ridiculous plot centered around a Tokyo passed talent agency tasked with secretly protecting the general public from monsters whom feed on our “performa” (the energy our talents generate), this game comes highly recommend and is just as much a must own on the Switch as it was on the Wii U.

One of the best games you can get from a Star Wars game. The game unfortunately has a lot of cut content due to dev's time restrictions but a mod called TSLRCM mod which restores the deleted content as well as adds a 3rd ending to the game.
Hours of fun and tons of mods to play around with as well! This and KOTOR one got be into RPG games but not many of them even gets close to being as good as KOTOR games.
