The open world component of the game certainly has its flaws, for example collecting the various memory tokens becomes repetitive in the long run and personally I would have preferred slightly smaller islands. The game levels, on the other hand, are perfect, fun and frenetic. It is a 8/10 game for me.
I finished Baldurās Gate 3. Very impressed! It really sets the bar for this sort of game. I managed to get a happy-ish ending (I went to live in Hell but at least I had my girlfriend with me). Thereās also a nice epilogue set six months after the end where you can catch up with your crew. And I didnāt have a single problem with lost saves or anything like that.
Just finished Leisure Suit Larry Wet Dreams Dry Twice. Very very funny game and it is better than the first one. Even if some parts are a bit too difficult and Iāve encountered some graphical/localization issues, it was very enjoyable!
Psychonauts 2. Had a solid time with it. Some of the bosses were real pains in the you know what. But the combat was decent enough, love the animations and art work. Story was pretty good overall, and the characters were super fun. Overall, 8/10 for me.
Prince of Persia the lost crown with 1000GS and what a masterpiece it is! Fun from begining to end. I was expecting to have a hard time on bosses after Dread but actually by the endgame I was so stupidly strong from exploring that all main bosses were all done and dusted in a maximum of 2 attempts (not complaining)
@Balta666 wow you banged that one out fast! How many hours? I'm about 5 or so in thus far and I'm using the guided exploration option to avoid time wasting.
@NintendoByNature to beat the final boss about 22h without guided exploration and trying to do everything I could before the fight. After it I went full "tell me what I missed and tell me how to solve puzzles I struggled" to finish all achievements and that took about 2:30 extra hours
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Good, but not great. I thought it kind of dragged a bit. I would have liked a great 15 hour game instead of an ok 30 hour game.
@Balta666 can't wait! Really enjoying my time with it. Budget game, good amount of hours, great gameplay, awesome abilities, stunning environments, amazing combat, etc. I hope this is a great success for ubisoft. We need more of this.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and I liked it but not adored it. As I mentioned several times I don't do horror (had some bad experiences with the first resident evil games and I dread jump scares) reason why I always skipped this one and because of that I knew from the start about the Lie which obviously removes a lot of the tension. I also made myself more comfortable by putting the brightness to the max, but I still felt the game was very dark at times although I managed to cheese the blindness trials as I could easily see where to go and avoid the scary creatures.
I did play on Auto difficulty but I did not die once to the combat so not sure how that affectedy experience, as all attacks are easily dodged as as long as you take your time and position yourself well there is no problems. In this way I only died probably 6-8 times due to environmental hazards like fire and shadows, etc.
Finally I like the Vikings setting and was always looking forward to finding the runes to hear the backstory (found everyone on the first playthrough) but not so much about Senua's story lol. I hope they go a little bit more focused on the why she has the voices in the sequel.
Regardless of it I am happy I pushed myself to play this game and I am now looking forward to May!
Beyond Good and Evil which I have to say I did not become a fan of. It is fairly clunky (and buggy), the stealth sections suck ass and the story is mediocre. It is fairly short at least (it took me a good two hours under hltb with 93% completion and all achievements)
@Balta666 Quite surprising as it's one of those games that appears to be almost universally liked. Haven't played it myself - although I 'think' I've got it on PS3 and just never got around to playing it. It's on my download list, but I can't remember if it was possibly a PS Plus game, or maybe just a demo so don't know if I'll actually be able to play it š
I've been tempted to get it on Xbox as it gets fairly regular sales - only around Ā£2 at the moment, but might as well make the effort to check if I've actually got it on PS3 first.
@dmcc0 yah, I also have it on both GameCube and Xbox . Some of these a lot of people have nostalgia but are hard to come about new in this time (games like super Mario 64 or ocarina of time are flawless games in my eyes lol, but I have also recently played games like God of War, ratchet and clank, Jak and Dexter, perfect dark, etc and liked them a lot more than this one).
@Balta666 Yeah, I've been pretty hit & miss with going back to some older 'classic' games. I played the first two God of War (HD Remakes) and a couple of Ratchet & Clank on PS3 back in the day and enjoyed them at the time, but haven't gone back to them recently - closest thing would probably be Dante's Inferno which I thought was similar to GoW (at least how I remember it!) at least in gameplay if not the themes. It was OK.
Funnily enough, Mario 64 is one that I have no nostalgia for and having played it fairly recently, don't really like it. Actually a lot of those N64 era games like Banjo, Perfect Dark, Conker etc have done nothing for me having gone back to them in recent years. I think in general, a lot of the 3D stuff from pre-X360/PS3 hasn't really aged very well at all.
