Better claim the game for free now or else you'll be spending money on refilling your energy or the Beginners Pack for 3$, Adept for 15$, and the OMG Archmage Packs for 85$! This game contains micro-transactions like Boosters, Crystals, Energy to play the dang game and stuffs that you see on Free to Play games on Mobile.

Micro-transactions aside, this game is good for casual players and for people who like Puzzle and Hidden Object games. This game is clearly a mobile game that's been ported to PC.

Gameplay-wise, I'll give this game a 7.5/10 for a mobile game. I don't recommend this game because after the game becomes paid to own, the Energy System to play the game will ruin your experience.

I wish the Single player and Multiplayer should be a separate game installation. Hard to enjoy an 11 year old game with a whooping 110 GB File size. My only goal was to only play the Single player story and NOT to play multiplayer.

So many troll players who ruins the Escape and No Point of Return part of the game. They hang around outside the escape zone before the time limit ends, or waiting for us to die so they can take our loot for themselves. I wish they don't receive the end game rewards rather than penalizing the whole heist team -_-

Too bad its a great game, but it's so filled with toxic players.

Note: I've written this review after 100% the whole game and the Steam Achievements to make an honest review rather than having a 2 hour play time and to avoid a bias review.

My Total Playtime: 27 Hrs

Great Remaster of the original Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom from the PS4 released way back 2003 during the amazing era of gaming.

- However, its not a perfect remaster. There are missing features like a sound effect when you hit an NPC, Teleportation Box animations of your character popping out in the other box, and Hans not appearing in every out of bounds areas (this one is probably more of a bug).
- Then there is the bugs, there are areas in the corners that you should not be, and will have your character stuck, until you reload the game.
- Setting Menu keeps popping out the Controller Layout menu for whatever reason, and its covering most of the Settings Menu.
- Its surprised me that they kept the original game's Mr. Krabs voiced by Joe Whyte rather than having Clancy Brown for the game.

I'm giving this game an because of the missing features, hans bug, and the buggy settings menu.

P.S. Highly recommended even with the existing flaws. It's still a good and somewhat faithful remastered game that ACTUALLY deserves a Remaster (I'm looking at you The Last of Us series).

Great 9/10 game and an underrated Final Fantasy game that delivers an engaging Action-RPG oriented gameplay, brings a lot memories of me playing this game on PSP. Sadly this game is stuck at 30 FPS, and this port doesn't play well on 30 FPS. The motion blur was intense and even its turned off, you'll still feel very dizzy.
However, thanks and credits to Banz99 from Github (https://github. com/Banz99/Final-Fantasy-Type-0-Hd-Unlocker) (remove the space on .com) for fixing this issues that Square Enix never bothers to fix in the first place. Now I can play this game on 4K running on 60 FPS and fixing the motion blur. As a gamer who loves playing on high motion blur settings, this mod made it look very cool.

Disclaimer: I am playing the AC franchise in chronological order for a raw first time experience and make my review non bias by NOT comparing AC Unity to newer games like Syndicate, Origins to Mirage.

AC Unity is the black sheep of the Assassin's Creed franchise. This game got a disastrous release, and then Ubisoft attempted to fix the game and pretty much why it has positive reviews. However, when I played this game, it has loads of bugs that was insanely annoying and frustrating at the same time, lemme break down the bugs I discovered.
- Arno freezes during combat, if I mean freezes, he just stands there and doing nothing
- Arno doesn't draw out his sword when combat started
- Arno's attacks freezes mid animation, and doing an execution kill with an invisible enemy
- Reloading doesn't work, I had to do random things like changing an item, do parkour, etc etc, to reset the animation.
- Speaking of reloading, when reloading, Arno is holding an invisible gun lol
- Speaking of invisible, I have seen a lot of civilian under the floor.
- Parkour is the worst, it randomly jumps anywhere, its like the trigger box is x4 larger than AC3.
- During cutscenes, Arno is usually out of place, and I'm not talking about the invisible face, its a different bug.

Anyways forget the bugs, for my real review. The experience was not really great, I had to finish the game as quick as possible because I got tired of this game after seeing the cluttered Paris world map. I 100% ALL of the Single Player content, and I don't care about the Coop mode, so I am not reviewing coop here.

Story:
- The story is very short, reminds me a lot of Far Cry 3. Each sequence contains roughly 2-3 missions and the pacing is really fast. In the older games, assassinations take place at the end of a sequence, but this game does not.
- There's not much storytelling about your Templar targets , you only learned their name, their position, and their location, and BAAAM you assassinate them.
- I did liked the plot twist mid-story when you discovered who is the real Grand Master of the Templars lol
- I enjoyed the Arno and Elise love story, this is actually the only reason why I enjoyed AC Unity's story, I wanted to know if the Assassins and Templars would finally coexist together. Connor and Haytham did not coexist, and happened again in AC Unity, very sad.
- This game lacks storytelling and character development mid-game, especially for Napoleon and Marquis de Sade. You can learn more about the character's story in the Database. We are all tired to read, we came to play fgs.

Gameplay:
- Broken, random combat freezes and terrible combat. The combat lacks complexity and it becomes easier when you unlock the smoke bomb and strong attack ability. Those dudes with guns are so easy to avoid, just spam dodge and you're done.
- Parkour gave me the most headache in the game. Hold B to drop? really? Pressing B once in old AC games you can drop down freely. You can't also jump from either sides to move faster, and Arno just jumps randomly in any intractable in the walls. I really hate it when he jumps somewhere I don't want him to be in. Love me or hate me, but AC1 has better parkour mechanics than AC Unity. I was so pissed I just run to the streets instead of climbing to the rooftops.
- Stealth is so stupid, I had my gear on stealth build and enemies still can spot me in out of reach areas. Seriously? I feel like I am playing Splinter Cell on the highest difficulty, but x4 the enemy's intelligence on spotting you.
- I enjoyed the Paris Stories, Mystery Murders, and the other side missions. Good job with the Paris Stories, it's actually one of my favorite side missions in this game.
- THERE IS SOOOOO MUCH LOCKED CHESTS! OMG!!

Verdict:
I have a love-hate relationship with this game. It's 2024 and its still not fully fixed. Story is awful, I only enjoyed the Arno and Elise story, and in terms of gameplay, I enjoyed the Paris Stories the most. If I am going to rank AC Unity, I will put this game to be the WORST game in the Assassin's Creed franchise. If not because of the Paris Stories, I might not recommend this game.

Sadly i'm giving this game a:


Edit: If there is a chance, would I play AC Unity again in the future?
Answer: No, I just uninstall this game and I don't want to play this game anymore.

The Surge is a Souls-like Sci-fi Action RPG game that is set on a heavily dystopian future as Earth nears the end of its life, those who remain in the overpopulated cities must work to survive as social programs become saturated by an ageing population and increasing environmental diseases. I will break down my review about this game. Just to remind everyone, I've finished the main story so this review will have a Spoiler parts highlighted.

STORY
- he story is a bit hard to digest since its a Sci fi game, but everything made sense after meeting with Sally at the first level to the Executive/Board Room. Here in the game we saw our protagonist Warren, a man with Paraplegia who joins CREO to be able to walk again and become an Exorig worker. The CREO machine that supposed to plant the Rig to his body did not follow protocol, forgot to sedate him, and we all see Warren is a very serious scary scene. Fast forward to the important part, the story is good but its very confusing, I enjoyed seeing the side characters on my journey, especially Irina. The one with Sally confuses me a lot the most and with the board people. I still don't understand about the final boss.

GAMEPLAY
- This is where the game shines, you dismember a part of an enemy's body and loot it as a component to upgrade your armor (breaking right arm for right arm armor upgrades, decapitate its head for an helmet upgrade, etc). This mechanic helps players avoid unnecessary loots.
-Boss fights in this game is very awesome, my favorite was the Black Cerberus, however, it saddens me that this game only has a total of 5 bosses. It was a fun experience, the stress was well rewarded in the end. Survival in this game is well rewarded, you can get a tech scrap multiplier for defeating enemies and for not visiting the Ops (which is the Bonfire equivalent on The Surge).
- ALL of the weapons in this game is so fun to use, my favorite was a SIngle-Rigged and Heavy Duty type weapons. The game is so addicting because of the dash and slide attacks, go play this game and perform a Slide attack with a Single-Rigged weapon. I assure you, you will love Single-Rigged weapons instantly.
- The Surge has a Weapon Proficiency System, the more you use that type of weapon, its level increases. Higher levels increases the attack and effectiveness of that weapon type. I suggest you pick your 2-3 favorite weapon types at the start of the game *ehem Single-Rigged Weapons ehem* before fighting the 2nd Boss.
- High risk is well rewarded, even though I regretted when I farmed for 100k Scraps and then died from a Spider >.>
- Tech Scraps is the currency to upgrade your weapons, armor and increase your Core Power.

DIFFICULTY
The punishment level of this game is more forgiving than Dark Souls 2, however, you'll poopers your pants when you realized when you die, you have a time limit to take back your Tech Scraps or else it will be gone forever, same thing when you died. Spiders and Mining Bots are one of the hardest enemy types in the game, Spiders can instantly kill you if you're not careful. The game level design is like a maze, you can get lost easily since you don't have a Mission Journal and a slight idea of where you are right now. However, you are well rewarded with a great shortcut from your Ops to the level's boss.

GAME LENGTH
If I minus the times I farmed Tech Scrap to upgrade my Core Power. It took me 30 hrs to finish the main story, this includes dying a lot. This game is shorter than Demon's Souls from the PS3.

PRICE
You want to support the developer? Buy it in full price, its worth it. But I suggest if you want to buy the DLCs, wait for a sale.

GRIND
Medium levels of grind, it seriously doesn't need to progress. But if you really want those Nano Cores, I suggest you grind Tech Scraps for a Core Power 85.


VERDICT
That's it guys, The Surge was a great Souls-like experience. I recommend playing this game if you're a hardcore Souls fan. Please give this game a try. Warren, the protagonist of this game, is actually an engaging protagonist. I loved him so much. Gameplay is very fun, the weapons are cool to play with *ehem Single-Rigged Weapons ehem* especially those slide and dash attack, deym. You can complete this game maybe less than 25 hrs if you're good enough, but 30 hrs is the average time I've finished this game which includes the times I died and excluding the time I went grinding for tech scraps.

I'm super happy that Pro Skater 1 and 2 finally got the Remaster it deserves. I've been playing Tony Hawk's games ever since Pro Skater 3, and Underground was my all time favorite skating game. I wish Underground 1 and 2 gets a Remaster also. As a big fan of skateboarding, this franchise introduced me to my favorite skateboarders, The Birdman himself Tony Hawk, Rodney Muller, and Leticia Bufoni. If it's not because of this franchise, I would have not known my favorite sport. Thank you Tony!

First Impression
I loved everything they put on this game, adding a lot of new pros to the mix is a super welcome addition. However, there's not much options for Character creations, too bad, I wish there were more clothing options, like separate the Bags from the shirts/ jackets perhaps. They enhanced the Create a Park, I wish you should really make your own map 100% like adding real buildings, and other structures. However, those limitations doesn't made the game bad. The developers probably taking it slow, and maybe we can get it on the THPS 3+4 (with 5) maybe? dang I would love that!

Gameplay
You can revert to the classic controls of THPS 1 and 2 with your hearts content, but I'm sticking to the default one since I'm pretty much comfortable with Underground's controls. The gameplay is insane and feels realistic, you really become a super skater when you nail x20 tricks in 1 session. Gameplay was super rewarding, and thank god there are no microtransactions. As a person who likes to play THPS Street style, my only complaint was there are some missing tricks, especially my favorite "the Space walk".

Modes
Well, as you expect, there's no story. There's only Tour mode. There is Speed Run and the classic Free Roam.

Price
I really regret buying this game on a discount, I'm really tight on money at the moment and I bought this game by only borrowing money. I had so much fun, I wish I could pay full price. If you are reading this, please buy this game and support the developers. I can't recommend this game enough, it's super addicting and amazing. Hopefully they remaster Underground also in the future.


Verdict

With the amount of content and replayability. I feel like I will be playing this game 100+ more hours, just you wait when you see my play time in the future.

I'm giving this game a score of:

The game is more forgiving than the free to play version on mobile. You spend 50 Medals to obtain 3-5 characters rather than the usual 50 Medals for 1 horrible loot. I gotta say, I still miss my old save, I spent like hundreds of dollars on it for 3 years until I moved on to play Contra Returns XD Hopefully the new updates can fill the void.

My biggest complain about this game is that they removed the Raid function. You will grind very much manually until you can level up your characters. I hope they bring it back. Already played for 3 hours and I'm still at Level 9. In 3 hours in the mobile version you can already reach level 20+ >.>

Nothing new, just a re-released game with a lot of missing contents. For now, I'm giving this game a score of:

7.5/10

- Microtransactions and lootbox, Microtransactions and lootbox everywhere....

- Microtransactions and lootbox ruins the whole game. You have to get ALL the characters' skills in Lootboxes lmao

- Rerolling skills with the use of Regen Reroll items is pure luck, save it until your character reaches Level 30 -_-

- TOO......... MUCH.............. GRINDING!!!!!!!!!!!

- Too bad, the gameplay is awesome. I love playing as Supergirl, Batman, Green Lantern and Captain Cold everyday.

- Story felt short, but reasonable. I would love a sequel.

- PVP is dead, good luck finding a lobby and find a NetherRealm developer for these brainless Multiplayer achievements

Gameplay: 10/10
Story: 9/10
Graphics: 10/10
Audio: 10/10
Difficulty (10 is Very Easy, 1 is Dark Souls): 8/10
Grind (1 means TOO much grind): 1/10
Bugs and Glitches (1 has a lot of B&G): 10/10
Microtransactions: Kill me.... 1/10


My advice, only buy if you want to enjoy the Gameplay, Story and play with friends because Player Matching is dead. According to SteamDB, the total of monthly players peak breakdown from the last 30 days is only 451 players as of this writing. Seriously, NEVER buy in-game currencies! You have been warned! I pulled a lot of Gold Mother Box and never got a single character skill and only got 1 in a thousand chance to get outfits for my characters. You can get Platinum and Diamond on Multiverse, but be warned. Drop rate for skills and for your outfits for character of choice is less than 0.5%!
