I'm a huge fan of the first 2 and wanted to chime in here since I see what a lot of people have been saying. It's definitely not as strong as the first 2 but definitely not a bad game overall. The real issue is with the pacing. The first 2 areas are kind of weak and half baked. The first area doesn't have a real boss fight (it's more of a "set piece" where you don't have a ton of control) and the second one feels short and rehashed from other games (the boss is killed in basically the exactly same way as an earlier sequence in the first game). An umbrella which is apparently important enough to get its own button and tutorial prompt is deployed a total of maybe 4 times, and in no ways more creative than "find this smokestack" or "break this long fall". The second half of the game is A LOT stronger but in an already short game to have half of the chapters feel underwhelming is definitely a bit of a disappointment. There's more chapters planned through DLC so I'm hoping they keep the momentum up as the game definitely feels like it gets better as it goes along.

I'm a huge survival horror fan and this is a really solid game. Does it borrow a lot from Resident Evil and Dead Space, yes, but it does a lot that's unique as well to stand on it's own. The story is a huge highlight and while the time travel aspects can get a little convoluted, it stays emotional and engaging throughout. The survival horror gameplay is top notch with intense combat, ammo scarcity, and great jump scares. I also like all the little optional side areas where you can get upgrade points and extra ammo. There is some annoying backtracking and at least one or two larger areas that would have benefitted from a map of some kind (you can ping an objective at any time but have no actual map). Overall I say this is a phenomenal addition to the horror genre and I hope to see more from this studio or franchise in the future.

The visuals are actually pretty good, as are the actors in their roles and the suits and overall design of the characters. The problem with the movie is that it's super boring (they don't even get super powers until almost an hour into the movie), the story is weird and more than half of it focuses on them trying to find a "cure" before randomly pivoting to Dr Doom trying to destroy the world for the last 20 mins or so. It sucks cause it feels like there was a lot of potential here and there are some scenes that are really good.

Baffling to me how a game of this quality got "meh" reviews from all the major publications. It's an amazing open world with lots of meaningful activities and interesting side quests. Seriously you can play for hours and not even touch a main quest. The story itself is fantastic too with a great cast of characters and really good main missions that take you across all the main planets. It's truly hard to find open world games of this quality now a days.

It's the best season yet but why the hell are they marketing it as the "final season" when it ends with a ton of loose ends and a setup for another story?

It's an awesome entry to the franchise with a worthy story and great guns and abilities. It feels like it has a lot more story and lore than past entries with some pretty decent side characters and solid cutscenes in between levels. A late-game romp through the underworld and back was a real highlight for me. The only complaint I have is that the glory kill mechanic seems less grabby than the last 2 games, meaning you have to run into it a little more which was an adjustment for me.

This is one of the best single player games I've played in years. In an era of gaming where "linear" and "single player" are considered bad words for some reason, a game like this really stands out to me. Too many games nowadays try to force in open worlds, pointless side quests, new game mechanics 20+ hours in, etc. This is a game that is unapologetically itself and isn't afraid to be just a good solo experience. The combat can be a tad repetitive and it obviously takes things from other games, but it's really refreshing to play a game like this in an era where there's not enough in my opinion.

Really wanted to like it and it has some good scenes but the script is so lazy. Let me start off by saying that Rami Malek is in this movie for 4 scenes and as the movie moved closer to the final confrontation I found myself asking "does Bond even know who this guy is?" Seriously the villain has absolutely no backstory or motivation other than "your husband killed my family". By the end of the movie you don't even know who the guy is or what he wants. Is he a spy? How the hell does he even know who Blofeld is, let alone how to wipe out his top secret organization in seconds? How can he afford an Island and countless henchmen? Did he get a tip or something on The Scientist? How does he even know about him? I feel like there's scenes missing. In a nearly 3 hour movie they couldn't give him just a few more scenes to establish him as a character? Even Cristoph Waltz who was barely in the last movie and cameos here had more of an arc. In Skyfall, Javier Bardem didn't appear until late in the movie, but he had so many dense scenes that you really felt his presence and understood his character. Malek gets so shortchanged here it's really sad. Even the scenes he gets aren't very good and the character isn't interesting (threatening the kid, really? We can't more original than that?) The structure of the script literally copies the last 2 movies where it basically spins wheels chasing leads for 2 hours till they find the villains evil lair, where you guessed it! He's been waiting for them the whole time with an exposition dump. I won't spoil the ending here, but it feels an awful lot like what we got with Star Wars a couple of years ago. A dumb generic ending written by people who haven't even seen the movies. I gave 2 stars which is for some great action scenes and Daniel Craig who saves the movie. Disappointed I spent money to see this. For a movie written by like 4 people there should be some stakes and motivation.

It's a really good game if you're a fan of the genre. It looks a little too much like dark souls in some spots but has some really solid environments and level design to set it apart. The seat of infinity temple is especially stunning. The main things the game has going against it is the short overall length and the repetition of the enemies. You will see A LOT of the same enemies down the stretch. The game only has a few boss fights but they are all really good and well designed mechanically. Overall it's one of the better games in the genre, and since it's not a full priced game, you cant really knock it for the length.
