    Assasins Creed Unity : 1/10

    Wow, this one is bad. I actually like the assasins creed games and played them all up to unity.
    But Unity is really something special.
    It has a few technical bugs like people walking in the air or enemies getting stuck in t-pose when parried and being immune to damage but i can handle this.
    But the whole game has an online focus that's so annoying. All side missions are boring or don't even have story at all. You start a mission named "the tyrannical teacher", you get no text at all, just a marker on a person 50 meter away with the word "kill" above it. Wow, great immersion.
    Almost all normal side-missions completely ignore all important people or landmarks in Paris. That's all in the group missions. There are lots of group missions in the game, 2 player and 4 player, that have cut-scenes, cool locations, all that. But you don't find anyone to play them with. You can play them solo but most of them have a lot of enemies and usually a room with 5 or 10 enemies that you have to fight. No problem with 2 or 4 players but annoying solo. Plus they are the main supply of skill points. Luckily the AI is so bad that you don't really need them.

    The main story is bad, some Templar killed your step-dad and you kill an underling who gives you the name of the next higher up so you kill that guy who gives you the name of the next higher up.... and so on until you kill the Templar. That's it. The meta story is just as bad. There is no real life part, you just hear some woman talking to you in game. She wants to find the same Templar and in the end when you kill him and he is buried in the catacombs she goes "oh well his corpse is too damaged and of no use to us. But you can still explore Paris and have fun".

    Paris is gorgeous though. Thats the only positive.
    Oh and the shop is all in your face. Everytime you want to buy something there is a "hack" button right next to it. Buy the next sword or cape for 150.000 francs or "hack" it for 500 premium curreny. In a game where a treasure chest nets you 300-500 francs.

    I continued to Syndicate and man, that one is so much better and more refined.

    other then WoW, Warfarme(that is NOT a typo)?
    monhun world icebourne, 9/10 -not IGN.

    fantastic game, the combat's sped up with the new engine and the expansion of the slinger(it's now a grappling hook) so there are monsters you will need to dance around to not be smashed into the ground 6ft under.
    savage deviljho's awaiting tempering and arch tempering is already a recurring nightmare, gods help us if a gore magala comes up from the recent events.

    You put Origins but you are talking about Unity?

    Oops, my mistake, why did i write Origins? Thanks for bringing this to my attention, i changed it.

  5. #2665
    For me it was Civilization 6 - 8/10
    Vermintide 2 - 6.5/10

    Cant really remember which one was the last one.

    Hat in time. Shit's better than mario odyssey and the soundtrack is 11/10. Not to mention the death wish challenge mode , getting this skin took me more than 6-7 ish hours ,and there's also 50 man co-op.

    Also coming on the switch soon but I kinda use that as a coaster these days. :^)
    , you have to beat 4 hard mode bosses with added mechanics from other bosses with only 3 lives :^)

    Breath of the Wild (yes I'm late) - 10/10, still playing. Spent 121 hours initially, then I got the DLC pack + I bought all of the Amiibo cards from Amazon, at which point I started a new save in Master Mode. Am enjoying playing with Epona and Wolf Link daily and still got ways to go. The game has some flaws, of course, chief among them to me being not enough interaction with the horse and way too little variation in the kind of enemies you fight. But none are enough to detract from my simply all out enjoyment. It even has my 60-year old dad hooked, his first RPG to boot!

    Link's Awakening remaster - 9/10, not finished yet and it's such an amazing, cute little game. I'm a grin from ear to ear whenever playing... most of the time. The FPS drops take away a point of the enjoyment, especially after seeing Odyssey and BOTW run on the Switch. If they patch the FPS drops, I shall up the score.

    The Witcher 3: 6/10 You know, I like the story, the graphics, the music. They're all good and it's been enjoyable so far. The combat is better than 2 by a mile. Everything else is just garbage. Gwent, the AI, the tank controls, overall controls, etc. I don't get the 10/10 people have for this game, I really don't.

    And just finished Link's Awakening: 10/10 Fantastic remaster. As awesome as it was back in the day. The only slight against it would be the minor dip in frames but it's only for a second and it doesn't detract from the game.

    Now I wish Nintendo would do the Oracles games the same way.
    Just don't reply to me. Please. If you can help it.

    I find 6/10 quite high for such a garbage game. The controls and severe lack of combat depth made me want to uninstall it right away. I didn't though, I endured a few hours of cringey content before that.

    I don't know if I can count Classic WoW here since it's a re-release of a 15-year-old game, but that's literally all I've been playing since it came out. I certainly can't give it a 10 by today's standards, but considering the amount of time I've spent playing it, I can't give it a bad rating either.

    I bought Torchlight 2 a couple of weeks before Classic WoW came out, and I was having a really good time with it. I just shelved it for Classic WoW and haven't gotten back to it yet. I can say it's amazing though. From what I've seen so far, it feels to me like an improved version of Diablo 2. I'm only a few hours in, but I'd give it at least an 8 so far.

    Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice: At first i was really confused with the gameplay, but once you are used the game sucks you in. Sadly it was too short. 10/10 for me

    Like it's a good average game and there are good stuff like I said. I just don't get the praise this game got/continues to get. And then if you do criticize the game, you're told to go back to Skyrim (like if you insult another mmo, you get told to go back to WoW). And if I felt like downloading Skyrim, I totally would.

    Fire Emblem Three Houses: Addicting game. The class system is good and the story on all 4 routes is compelling although they could've made Edelgard's route longer.

    Yeah, sunk cost fallacy mostly; people have invested a lot of time and/or money in a product which results in them being unable to objectively criticise said product.

    8/10 Code Vein, a good mix of things i like, its a bit rough compared to dark souls 3, bloodborne and sekiro which are the formula more refined work. But if you like this genre and like the art style, its pretty neat.

    10/10 MHW iceborne, how do you make an already great game better? You just add features and make needed changes on top of it. Even the most frustrating part of MHW which is weapon agument randomess is removed and given place to a controlled grind. Good rebalancing of bonuses on sets. All weapons with new and mostly very useful moves.

    Code vein - 5/10. Play either duo with a friend, or solo, for some dark souls like exp. playing with ai bot takes all the challenge out, and this game has nothing else going for it.

    Greedfall - 5/10. Props for putting so much thought into story, albeit the main plot line is pretty predictable and boring. Side quests is where the game shines, true depiction of medieval practices, no rainbows and bunnies. Mechanically the game is horrendous.

    Surge 2 - 6.5/10. Middle of the road sequel to a dark souls clone. Holds decently if you need to scratch a souls-like itch. Pretty sound mechanically, lacking in the story department big time.

    Children of Morta - 8/10. Almost everything you want from a solid roguelight. Art style can be repulsive to many.

  19. #2679
    Untitled Goose Game - 9/10. Nothing much to say except that it kicks ass ruining people's day by playing a no fucks given goose, also it has a dedicated Honk button. In essence it's pretty barebones and after like a good 7 hours you are finished with all the tasks but it's funny making a kid lock himself in a phone boot just by being a rude ass honking goose.

    Zelda Link's Awakening - 8/10. Bit late to the party but didn't want to spend 60 Euro on it so waited a bit and now it was 41.99 on Amazon so snagged it up. Nothing much to say except the art style is super cute and I fell in love when I saw it at E3, if I was on time for the limited edition I would have paid the 80 Euro for it but it sold out faster then chips over here and without the steelbook etc and I didn't want to spend more then 40 on it cause it's still just a remake.
    Like mentioned by others the fps drops are a bit of a sore at times, but just because you expect a game looking like this to never have any serious fps drops on Switch if you see what is able on the switch with other titles.

    I'll have to amend my score to be lower. I swear, as soon as I started to play more after that post, the game's experience has only gotten worse. I'm not even going to touch the fucking DLC.
