The underrated GOAT of JRPGs. This has all the bases covered from romance to existential threat. The gameplay is on point with a progression system that would be revolutionary if released today. It has an entire fictional sport with leagues and it’s own progression system, and the endgame which offers as much content as the story line. Safe to say they don’t make them like this anymore.

This game betrays everything a Final Fantasy stands for. No freedom, No progression, No secret/endgame content. Yeah I get this is a completely different game to the original. Which I didn’t enjoy but can accept times have changed and the effort they put into expanding the original. How they’ve been given a free pass after reverting back to the FF13 formula is beyond me. FF15 was no masterpiece, but it moved back to letting the player experience the world how they wanted. This may aswell have been on rails the whole time. As a big fan of the original I wasn’t to surprised this is what got released given the development process and promo content. It’s disheartening that this restrictiveness is acceptable moving forward.Nice graphics I guess.

How does this game get such attention. It’s a basic rip off of Tomb Raider with more of a cinematic feel to it. It’s beyond me how lazy gameplay gets so highly rated.

If this was the initial entry of the series it would be 5 stars but it’s a lazy DLC for a great game with a full price tag. They reused all the core of the previous game and just added in some new cutscenes and enemies. I can’t really see any tweaks to the mechanics and the storyline is just about as boring and predictable as I’ve played in a longtime. I remember Far Cry Primal got destroyed for reusing the map even though they overhauled the rest of the game, this game didn’t even make an attempt to stand out from the original in anyway at all. Whilst it is an enjoyable experience, theirs no way it deserves the praise it gets from critics.

Did well in the confines of its genre. While I enjoyed the idea for about an hour it became a chore quickly. They bit off more than they could chew 😉 with the 3D underwater fighting and I was focused more on the camera than the actual gameplay mechanics. Which I still don’t think I’ve grasped after completing the game.

This film is a step in the right direction. It acknowledges its predecessors biggest fault was that it took itself seriously in what is such a far fetched concept and turns the whole thing on its head. The whole Avengers craze is completely played out and all that’s left is to parody the whole idea. The direction of this film kept me constantly surprised from start to just before the finale. While the first 90% of the film is well written it suffers the same fate that all super hero films do. Which is you know what the outcome is going to be, just how they are going to get to it. There’s some great meta moments in this film which reminds me of the old “hot shots” parody with Charlie Sheen.

This game is underrated. All the negative reviews are mainly aimed at the “lazy” developers reusing the map. This is incredibly harsh as they completely changed the entire gameplay, added some great mechanics and a decent story by today’s standards. All under Ubisofts annual release crunch. Look at how Assassins Creed did under the same conditions (syndicate) and its an absolute miracle this game plays aswell as it does.
