Name the game you're currently playing. Tell me one good thing about it. One bad thing about it. Rate it out of 10. And then get out of here.
Empire: Total War>procool battles>conThe diplomacy fucking sucks compared to paradox games. The ai is declaring wars on me even though they're at war with 2 different countries already. And the best part? They focus me while the rest of their country gets occupied.
>>719596678Lost Soul Aside>GoodThe combat seems OK>BadThere's a lot, but the voice acting stands out
>>719596678Path of exile 2>GoodAmazing campaign.>BadLudicrously hard, in contrast to the first.
Xenosaga >goodits really comfy setting and its fun exploring the space ships>baddont enjoy the combat system at all.
Horizon Zero DawnTaking on stronger and stronger machines is great. As a sense of progression but also as a cathartic experience. World is beautiful and great to get lost int.Some weapons are massively op and the spear kinda sucks9/10. I love it.
MGS Delta >Good The style >Bad The substance
>>719596678The Knightling>GoodMovement is really fun with rolling, sliding, and gliding. Lots of zip to the animations.>BadQuest progression is extremely railroaded in ways that actively punish exploring the open world, made even more tedious by the fact that overland travel can end up stilted depending on terrain. 7/10
>>719596678Punihi Loader 2Making a simple 3 blob squad is nice.Part variety doesn't grow as you rise through the ranks, you just get cleaner versions, at least so far for me.Giving it 9/10.
Into the Breach>GoodStarting a turn where the enemy placement seems impossible to overcome, then really letting your brain cook until you have an epiphany that reveals a perfect solution and not only gets you out of harm's way but causes the enemies to attack each other and block their incoming allies from spawning feels about as good as anything in vidya can>BadI cannot say a single bad thing about this game, I've beaten it thoroughly on multiple platforms over the years and keep coming back
MGS3 Delta>GoodIt still plays like MGS3, which is great>BadYou can tell they literally just slapped UE5 assets over the old engine, when Ocelot reloads in your fight against him you can see him jankily reloadStill playing through it but 8/10
>>719596678SMTVV>goodIt's gameplay focused and hasn't been wasting my time on story garbage like shitsona does.>badThere's way too many hot and breedable demon girls10/10
Halo Reach>GoodAction-packed battles, amazing cinematography, it does a really good job at making you feel hopeless as you watch Reach slowly crumble against the Covenant>BadWeird weapon variety, I keep forgetting that I can use sprint or armor locks because they rarely come into play, Jackals and Grunts are way too tanky9/10
Celeste>GoodMost of the optional collectibles are creatively placed and fun to go for. The solution to the secret heart on Chapter 4 was fun to see.>BadStrange difficulty curve. Level 3's A and B were quite difficult compared to level 2, then Level 4 was much easier. Hopefully that doesn't remain the case. Maybe the B sides are meant to be played after finishing the game, so that could be on me.>Rate8/10, only on level 5 but having a great time.
>>719596864For some reason the scale in these games never bother me EXCEPT for empire and napoleon. It just feels silly taking all of europe with like 8 thousand men and 20 ships.
fida puti samurai>Goodlow poly coomer game>Badmade by a tranny who spends more time jerking off than making the fucking game
>>719596678Nine Sols>GoodMore varied than metroidvanias usually are when it comes to combat and platforming challenges>BadToo much dialogue with fantasy technobabble (and in general)9/10
>>719596678gloomhaven digitalgood tactics gameplay with good character customizationthe classes aren't balanced that well and some are clearly way better than others8/10
>>719596678Quasimorph>GoodI like the weapon variety and the 'back up gun' crit bonus>BadA lot of information isnt available in-game and i've lost several clones with some good gear to the poison trial because there isnt a way to see that the stones are rezzing the quasi or that they explode when destroyed
>>719596678Into Black (VR game)>proIt's basically VR DRG with a pretty well written/voice acted Single Player campaign; it's basically been one of the few non-Alyx VR games I've found that aren't a one-note pony or glorified tech demo and is an actual game.>conIt's both Indie/Niche and VR so random players are extremely hard to find for multiplayer
>>719600668Also, probably 7 out of 10. Would go up to 8, but there's some glaringly obvious Mesh Object placement that breaks immersion/lets you clip out of places, Enemies go through walls sometimes, and equipping the Grappling Hook renders your left hand useless for yanking/doing the hand puzzles.
>>719596678Abiotic Factor>ProFun>ConBig fish8/10
>>719596678hoshigami ruining blue earthdifficultbut has level scaling7/10
Been playing a lot of enderal>prosExtremely polished for a skyrim modInteresting story and loreway better loot than vanilla skyrim>consdungeons can get very repitive, a lot of bandit camps and undead crypts like in skyrim. I thought they would add more unique enemies and dungeon gimmicksStory can be a bit too talky at times, it gets tiresome in some parts. The intro takes way too long
>>719596678naruto ultimate ninja storm connections>goodthe gameplay>badeverything else
Kirby and the Forgotten Land>GoodIt's Kirby in 3d and it sticks the landing>BadShouldn't have to pay extra for a new mode that in the past would have been free and for 60 FPS. Can't complain too much because I love Kirby, wish Star Allies got a 60 FPS patch because it is the ONLY mainline Kirby game at 30 FPS. It would make the game 5% better instantly.
>>719596678Summer Pockets>GoodI like the soundtrack and storyIt also has fun minigames for a visual novel>BadIt made me crySome of the routes before the true route are boring9/10
LoZ master quest (GC emu). >proI really enjoyed OoT, so it's fun to spice it up a little with the different dungeons. >consBeing the first time I've played it, my brain defaults to the pathways I created on the 100+ playthroughs of OoT. This makes me overlook it over think some of the puzzles and it's taking much longer than expected.
>>719602808I finished master quest this year too. imo all the child dungeons were pretty good but the adult ones were hit and miss. Sometimes it felt like they just ran out of ideas.It was fun but I can't see myself playing it again.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter demo>goodLooks great, plays well, battle system looks to be more enjoyable than the original.>badNo FOV options, I guess? The camera's kind of close. Also way more enemy encounters than usual.
>>719596678>Talos Principle 2>Melville is my waifu>sometimes you can softlock puzzles (there's a checkpoint before you get started, but still)>9.5/10
>>719596678Command and Conquer 3>ProsProbably best modern Command and Conquer with Kane's WrathImpressive visuals for an rts even to this dayStrong faction balance and differencesCampaign is tough but manageableFMVs are just the right amount of camp to serious acting>ConsWill crash on higher resolutionsCapped to 30 fps, game actually required to stay there without causing other major problemsCampaign can be obnoxious with AI getting infinite resources and infinite units to throw at you foreverMultiplayer is effectively deadScrin PACs and flying artillery can go to hell.
>>719596678I'm replaying God Hand>GoodChanging up your moveset whenever you want feels fucking great>BadSome of the boss fights on Level DIE difficulty are actual bullshit hard
>>719603464Am I dumb or is 1's dlc hard af? It filtered me.
The Civil War mod for ODST.Good:>Marines fucking everywhere>You can clown car the warthog and scorpion with them>Having elites running around fighting brutes fighting you is radBad:>The dev made you way too tank to try and compensate for the much higher enemy counts, it takes like four hits in a row from a hunter to drop your "shield">Sometimes enemies spawn literally in front of you>You can carry way, way too much extra ammo. Having ten extra rockets or eighty six sniper shots is silly>For some reason the entire New Mombasa Police Force is hostile to the player. They shoot on sight for no reason
>>719603693Oh right, 7/10, mostly because I can do this shit and it's nice having marine bros in the over world map finally.
