Detroit is a game I have wanted to play since it's release. I absolutely love Quantic Dream and their previous outputs, especially 2010s Heavy Rain. When it was announced it was becoming free with ps+ I was very excited to finally get to play this. All of my expectations were matched and exceeded by a long stretch.
First of all the game looks gorgeous. The detail in the character models, facial expressions and environments are above and beyond almost all games I've seen this gen. People will argue they're only this good because of the lack of real action, which whilst probably true, you have to appreciate the work done on their engine to build this.
The gameplay is classic QD, very limited amounts of gameplay with an emphasis on exploration, decision making and QTEs. Some of the scenes with action where you have to perform QTEs can be insanely intense as you know at any minute any character can die for good. Detroit absolutely nails the decision trees and the knock on effects of your actions. Even early on some of the things you do can affect extremely late game outcomes. This makes the game feel very in depth and also adds a great replay value. The narrative itself is amazing and the world built around androids and discrimination is detailed and very thoughtful.
Overall, this is easily in my top 3 PS exclusives and one of my favourite games this generation. The story is powerful, the game looks great and the amount of different paths offers something that many games fail to deliver. 100% worth playing at least once.

An incredible game with amazing visuals, simple but intuitive combat system, and a captative story that full of Nordic mythology. Despite all this, Hellblade has some off-putting weak points, like very little evolution and diversity in terms of enemies throughout the game and puzzles that end up being repeated too many times, some bad acting on the live action put discreetly into it. This game also ruins your experience a lot with a stale ending and a HORRIBLE and super misplaced song for the credits.
For a very long time I never played this game…and I don’t know if I regret it or value my distance from this series. I picked up this trilogy in 2013-2014 so I am unfazed and uninterested in the backlash the third entry of the trilogy got from the fans. Mass Effect, to me, is a very unique series. I have never played anything like it before. I don’t mean that in regard to the dialogue or gameplay taken separately, but Mass Effect manages to balance these elements incredibly effectively. You can see the inspirations throughout the series (Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, a little pinch of Star Wars and other famous sci-fi shows and stories) but Mass Effect still functions as its own title. The story in this game revolves around Commander Shepard and their quest to stop a rogue elite galactic enforcer (Spectre) Saren Arterius. Shepard and their team band together to stop Saren from conquering the galaxy but in the process discovers something for more dangerous pressing in on the galaxy. Bioware put so much effort into this game’s story and world. It feels daunting to step into it, but once you take that leap, you don’t ever want to leave. So much detail to lore, designs, locations, ships, weapons, creatures, it’s truly remarkable and never ceases to amaze me. This is the first RPG that I played that felt authentic and natural. I felt that I could control the story and what Shepard says or does and I don’t feel as though the game is necessarily forcing me to chose between a default affiliation. The graphics are okay, they aren’t as dated to me as they should be, but there are some visible signs of age. The gameplay is good, but very confined and clunky in regards to the gunplay and action. The game offers a variety of enemies to face that offer challenges in their own ways. The exploration aspect of this game has often been hailed as fantastic….I may be in the minority but nothing in exploring the planets in this game was particularly fun or rewarding. It felt empty and strange, and some of the planets had incredibly poor designs and the vehicle controls were kind of barebones to say the least. Some of the customization elements and armor and weapons got a little tedious and unprofitable. But all of these things are improved immensely in future installments. If there is a game that I could go back in time and experience again it would be this trilogy. I would highly recommend this game to any gamer regardless of preference or knowledge.

7/10
+ Sense of progression through powerups
+ Well-designed map; balance between exploration and direction
+ Enhancements to Samus's moveset (Wall hang!)
+ Short and sweet
- Hidden items rarely feel meaningful/rewarding
- Doesn't break new ground; just polishes formula (remake)
- Stealth "zero suit" section

the only reason this is in my favorites is because of my nostalgia for this and how much i love corrin being half dragon other than that i would not have actually bought the game. the end. thanks for coming.
also i'd recommend it for people trying to get into fe though they'll probably be disappointed with the characters in this game because they have no personality lmao

Nothing more than a list of roms of some Taito arcade classics. It has none of the extras that make compilations special but it serviceable.

Flinthook is a perfectly decent Rogue lite. Not much more to be said about a pretty good game.

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild tells you all you need to know before you boot up the game in the very title itself. A mastery of open world design that rewards thinking outside the box and avoids the clunk that other games of the genre can't escape from.

The best 2d platformer of all time. The amount of passion and wonder this game oozes with is remarkable as the luscious environments dance around you to the fantastic soundtrack as the game perfectly blends a fast pace and an incredible sense of exploration. This game was packed with more heart and soul than I can fully describe. It's as close to perfection as a 2d platformer gets.

Arms is a unique take on the boxing genre with a cast of colourful characters with extendable arms. However this game has basically nothing to it. Bare bones singleplayer and very few different multiplayer modes. Don't buy it unless you get it for cheap. The game itself is solid but the problem is that there is no game to play.
Splatoon 2 is basically the original game but with a better multiplayer mode and a very enjoyable "Salmon Run" mode but a worse singleplayer experience that drags for way too long. There isn't much to say about this game as it is just a better Splatoon. However a singleplayer campaign that bests that of the original game was released as DLC and is a massive improvement, making this the definitive experience.
If Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled didn't exist this would easily be the quintessential kart racer. Mario kart 8 deluxe takes the best aspects of ever Mario Kart and combines them with an anti gravity gimmick that feels natural and thankfully only exists to make the tracks more dynamic. Definitely give this a try.

Rayman legends is by far the best Rayman game and one of the greatest 2d platformers of the decade. The game blends fluid controls with the beautiful level art that begs to be explored for lums and other goodies while keeping a frantic pace. The problem that just hurts the game enough so that I can't consider it exceptional is the wealth of murfy stages that require you to use the gamepad's touch screen and gyro to create a safe path for Rayman for the level (assuming you're playing the wii u version). This slows the game to a grinding halt and makes you wish that you could get back to the platforming stages. However the murfy stages aren't terrible and the platforming stages are well worth their wait so I definitely recommend this game.
Debatably the best 2d platformer and nostalgic throw back of all time. Shovel Knight's soon to be four campaigns take what made classics like Mega Man, Castlevania and Super Mario Bros 3 great and adds tons of modern improvements to make this the quintessential retro platformer. The game is available everywhere and is a must buy for anyone.

Splatoon is a unique third person shooter that brings enough new to the table to stand out as it's own entity among the cavalcade of grey shooters that were pumped out around the time of its release. The story mode is great fun but the now hacker invaded online mode is now redundant because of the greatly fleshed out sequel.
Super Mario Maker is a great tool for making your own Mario levels with added easter eggs and charm that the sequel is lacking to some extent. However I can only really recommend the game to those willing to make their own levels as good user created levels are few and far between.
A great game with a beautiful art style and music. The best Yoshi game since Yoshi's Island on the SNES by far and the best in the series. A must buy for platformer fanatics and fans of the original Yoshi's Island.

Favorite Thing: I really liked the story and it went a bit crazier than I expected.
Least Favorite Thing: Hugo. Didn't much like having to play as him either.
Date Completed: 2019-07-11
Playtime: 8h
Enjoyment: 8/10
Recommendation: It's good, you should play it.
First and foremost, play with the patch.
The art is wonderful! The actual game play is also pretty good for a match 3 type of game, With each of the girls you're playing through as different story yourself, they aren't long, but I think it's pretty interesting since you can either get the pain or pleasure ending depending on what you choose and what you do to the actual girl. The soundtrack for mirror is fantastic, the only thing that I found a bit weird were some of the sound effects when you're uhhh...doing stuff with the girls.
