Nice. I think my final rating would have been in the 8.8 - 9.0 range. The game's setting, atmosphere, and storytelling really grabbed me. Theres a epic feeling to it that you typically only see in high budget games, even though you can tell it was developed on a shoe string budget. I can't wait to see what this studio does with a bigger budget.

 

also how well done was

Amicia's character development throughout the game? At the beginning shes an innocent teenager, and she becomes horrified when she kills someone for the first time. But slowly she becomes desensitized to all the death and by the end shes eviscerating her enemies without blinking an eye. Other games have tried this type of storytelling before (the Tomb Raider reboot being the prime example) but I think this game nails that better than most of them.

Yeah Amicia's character development was great as was the gameplay development in conjunction to all that. Seems like my early complaints were definitely intentional. Very limited things you can do other than just hide and run early then as Amicia's character grows in terms of versatility so does the gameplay. Loved the change at the end to using the rats. From feeling so powerless early to feeling like a god late on. 

 

The setting and atmosphere was definitely a highlight also. Especially the last few chapters. Can't really think of any other games with that sort of setting. It really shows how awesome production values can still be on a limited budget if the game is linear. I miss these types of fully linear story games in such a flood of open world games.

Well, about time I get into Yakuza 0.

 

 

I heard it mentioned all the time, but I've never played the series, nor seen a trailer; but, it was on sale a few weeks ago and i picked it up for like four or five dollars. Seeing as I've got the time, let's delve into this!

the whole series is trash. SNES grade gameplay lol. I tried yakuza 7 demo the other day. Seriously, dialogue about "hello-work" find jobs bullshit? Ensnaring-ly boring.

DOOM Eternal is badass af. A bit too much platforming for my taste but it plays well with the double jump and double dash so its not a big issue.

 

Anyway, Im still early, will give more in depth impressions later.

The main menu theme in Doom Eternal is one of my favorite tracks, it always got me pumped up when I booted up the game

A plague Tale is interesting. The story sort of mirrors the current situation in the real world.

Its kind of sizeable for a linear game nowadays. I think theres 16-17 total IIRC.

Yeah, I liked what I played last weekend. I’ll get back to it tomorrow.

[Delita 698]

A plague take was pretty good. Pretty surprised. Better than I expected. I went in knowing nothing.At first it was a solid 7, then halfway it was a 7.5, then the 2nd half and the end I’d give it an 8.5. I finished it in less then 2 days.
 

That’s a good thing about game pass because I never would have played this but since I could and did, now I’m interested in the sequel. I’ll even buy it if it’s not on game pass

Damn, even by Ubisoft open-game world standards, Watch Dogs1 has too many side missions.

 

They're called "Fixer Contracts" and its where you accept jobs to take down a convoy of vehicles that drive along a certain path, or tail a car to hack it and then take out the car, or its you getting into a car and drive across the map at checkpoints against a timer, or taking a car and simply escape from cops or other bad guys coming after you, or lastly, go into a gang hideout and finding the boss and beating him up.

 

Some of these things, if you want to play them stealthily, take a while and they're quite hard. There's just too many of them.

 

There's like 40 main campaign missions, and then like 80-90 of these side quest, and you need to complete all of them in order to be given a special weapon or skills upgrade.

 

And then technically I can't 100% the game unless I do variations of these side questions, but online in multiplayer. Now those may actually be more interesting.

 

I like the 1 v 1 "hacking" thing that can pop into your game while you are in single player mode. If you're just standing around in the city, and not currently in a mission, it will inform you that you have "been hacked" and there's an area in which there is an online player walking around, presumably hiding, and they are in your proximity hacking you. And the circle area starts narrowing down as you frantically try to search who the guy is. They will be hiding.

 

Its basically hide and go seek. Once you do find them, you have to kill them. And I can do that to others.
