I was maidenless when I began, now I get more paramours than Lady Marika herself. Now I'm lvl 150, sick build, best armor, best weapons, yeah I guess you could say I'm Elden Lord, erm in more ways than one. Going for 100% complete, so excited for DLC! Going to complete that 100% too. So needless to say, game is mid. Zero stars. Too Much water. Summon me for Malenia, but she's not even that hard. Bosses repeated makes game bad, 100%, no changing my mind. WHy would I want to refight a boss at a different difficulty. Based. bye ;)

The game is good but the forced decision to include a third party login is just stupid and selfish for Sony.

Don’t go hollow, my friend.

This certainly isn’t a perfect game, much like Mad Max, Mortal Shell, or Remnant: From the Ashes, it’s a small studio producing a AA title that’s gotten AAA attention. While I understand the hype and the slow 2021 release schedule to be contributing factors to this game getting so much attention, I think it’s best to take the game as it is. Biomutant does a lot that is original and enjoyable and mostly everything I have a problem with are things they’ve addressed with coming updates and later releases. I get people want to hate it for its unfinished state but we cannot hold them to the same standards as AAA developers that promote crunch over employees health like the recent CD Projeckt Red debacle with the Cyberpunk release. If you enjoy the style of games like Oddworld, Mutant Year Zero, or games oriented to looting and exploring it is a good type with fun progression and gear. I just zen out and play. I also adjusted the narrator to 20% and found it fine. 7/10 solid but not perfect at 17 hours played. Purchased to support developers but much like Days Gone, I’d wait until price goes down to $40 and updates come. As they intend to address a large amount of fan issues but they need the game to sell to follow through on that. Buy if you believe in the potential.

This game has the best feeling movement since Pac-man. If Super Meat Boy innovated as the merciless Mario successor, this does the same for the top-down Zelda formula. It is a simultaneously thrilling and zen experience that encourages risky moves with a razor-thin margin of error. This game is why the analog stick was invented.

While this wasn't my first entry point into the Shin Megami Tensai/Persona series, any entry point is a smart step into one of the most interesting, immersive, and astoundingly rewarding series in gaming history. Please seek out any SMT/Persona game that you can and play immediately. Atlus needs to know that the west loves their games too so they will release more ports and new entries!

A gorgeous and heartfelt adventure game with touches of classic D&D, Thief, and Redwall. Wonderful, heartfelt, and interesting stealth gameplay that makes you feel for the characters as if you were a mice yourself.

If you buy this game then you will become haunted by the inescapable dread of Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu. You will be driven to madness until the sky collapses into the sea and the Great Elder Gods tear all existence from the planes of reality. 5/5 but what does that mean anymore?

I really want to play Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth but I have no money for it, so I just pretend that I am playing Beyond Earth, roughly 500 years after completing a scientific victory. The spaceship crash lands into a planet similar to Earth's atmosphere but due to being locked in cryo-sleep for an extended period of time the crew has sustained significant brain damage. Now they must discover their purpose on this new planet surrounded in strange alien cultures of the seemly identical humanoid species, while searching through the remains of their damaged ship which appears as ruins, giving them insight into their past knowledge and culture. Now they must rebuild their society from the bottom up if they are to survive on this strange alien planet.

I had always wanted to go back and play the Balder's Gate Series but with such progressive fantasy RPG games like Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Dragon Age Series, I had a difficulty reverting back to older mechanics. PoE seemlessly combines the old school aesthetic with new age controls and mechanics. Obsidian Software has never disappointed and this game is proof that if you give a developer the creative freedom to do their own thing that they can deliver, and that is exactly what PoE did. This is one of the best fantasy RPGs I have ever played, on par with the Elder Scrolls and Dragon Age series. I am only ten hours in but the expansiveness of the world is simultaenously exciting and terrifying. PoE is equally rewarding and punishing while maintaining an engaging sense of strategy that comes from it's Dungeons & Dragons influences. If you are looking to a throwback to the earlier days of fantasy RPGs then Pillars of Eternity is for you.

This game is like playing an endless campaign of D&D but with no friends required.
