1) The games mechanics are so similar to other Ubisoft titles, this is basically a re-skin of Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, just with blasters and speeder bikes and shallow space combat 2) The AI in this game is so incompetent and awful, I would bet a monkey programmed it by just slapping buttons. Don't believe me? Go to Youtube. Plenty of compilation videos showcasing the absolute crap AI 3) The model/voice actor for Kay Vess is a gorgeous woman. Kay Vess is ugly as sin, with a chin that could sink the Titanic. Why did the developers deliberately do this? Because "toxic male gaze". Well guess what? If women can go to any Marvel movie and enjoy shirtless ripped men without anyone caring, then I should be able to play a videogame that features a beautiful woman. 4) Ubisoft has repeatedly lied about the community sentiment towards this game, telling investors it was "overwhelmingly positive". Yeah...right. Then after the game failed miserably financially AND critically, Ubisoft told investors it failed because of "Incels" who poisoned people against the game. So for these 4 reasons, do not buy.

Other Google reviews that give this game a 4 or 5 stars try and qualify their review by saying that criticisms about the awful character designs aren't valid, so they should be ignored. That is a falsehood. The character designs are such total and complete crap that it kills the power fantasy that video games are supposed to provide. No one, and I mean NO ONE, wants to play as these characters. I suppose if we were being specific, about 397 people on Steam want to play as these characters, because that's the peak player count last time I checked. So who's correct? The vast majority who think these character designs are total crap? Or the 397 "gamers" who also call people bigots and phobes who don't like this game? Additionally, the developers are behaving like a$$hats, calling people who dislike this game "talentless freaks". So quite frankly, even if this game had gameplay that rivalled Metal Gear Solid 3 and was a masterpiece of game design, this game would STILL flop because the developers are entitled brats AND because the character designs are laughably bad. The designs suck. And the developers suck. I don't feel bad for them. If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. If you DEVELOP stupid games, well...we see what that brings

If it weren't for the fantastic gameplay and some truly awesome Venom moments, this game would be a huge disappointment. Sweet Baby Inc, a DEI company that injects leftist propaganda and "diversity/representation" obsession into games, was hired by Insomniac to help with story and characters, and it shows. How? A side quest where Miles helps two gay guys go to prom...a quest where you play as a deaf girl painting graffiti, and this is supposed to be a Spiderman game. Pride flags across New York. Saving people will frequently lead to them thanking Spiderman and making comments alluding to their homosexuality. An evil white man tries to culturally appropriate Black musical history. Black Cat needs help getting to Paris so she can be with her girlfriend. And lastly, Peter is reduced to an apologetic analogy for white guilt in this game. "I'm sorry MJ! I'm sorry Miles! I'm sorry Harry! It's all my fault! I can be better!" This is a shame, because the gameplay and some story elements are awesome, but Insomniac showed how deep the far leftist rot goes in their company. I'm very concerned for Wolverine

This show rises to the highest of heights for what a TV show can be in season 1, kind of hovers there in season 2, then dives back to earth in a giant woke fiery blaze. My wife and I binged season 1 in a evening because it was so wholesome and funny. But season 3 we choked down till about episode 4 and gave up. Season 3 plays like a giant progressive far left commercial ad, with 3 gay people introduced in that season alone and given more screentime than Ted Lasso himself, repeated digs on white people, Keeley whining about women being oversexualized but then the next scene is her dressed in sexualized clothing making out with her girlfriend, and a literal 3 minute scene where the team argues about whether a person's private photos should be deleted off their phone or not and whose property those photos are. The dialogue for this scene was so bad that it played out as a cringe PSA ad. And much of season 3 dialogue has that vibe: preachy and condescending, as if the show is telling you what you should believe. So watch season 1 and 2, it's great stuff. Then stay the heck away from season 3

A horrible gear system, lifeless open world, and a combat system that falls short of the great heights of the Arkham games keep this game from living up to its potential. The little bit of the story I've played was actually kind of interesting, and tackling the effect that Batman's death would have on Gotham is a bold story choice, and from what I've seen, I have no doubt the story would be pretty darn good. Unfortunately, the story alone is not enough to keep me playing for long. First of all, Gotham City is a drag to explore. It's lifeless, it's bland, and it feels emptier than Night City in Cyberpunk 2077, even before all the updates that game has received! There are hardly any civilians to be seen, even though Gotham is supposed to be open for business and completely lived in (unlike previous Arkham games that saw Gotham evacuated or walled off), and it gives the impression that this world is a sad husk. The loot system/gear system is so ridiculous and feels out of place in a single-player/co-op game like this. My thinking is this game was originally going to be a live service game (like Avengers) but they decided against it after seeing the lukewarm reception that Avengers has received. Maybe it was too far along in development to get rid of the gear system at that point, so they kept it in. Which is unfortunate, because it's confusing and reduces customization to matters of percentages over looks (this gear gives 5% melee damage, but this one looks better. Which do I choose??) Finally, the combat system simply feels off. The developers had to have known that their combat system in this game was going to be compared to Rocksteady's Arkham games...and this system doesn't feel near as polished, nor does it give the player the same sense of power that the Arkham games did. Because the enemies in this game have health bars like an RPG, basic street thugs can take many hits to put down, which kind of defeats the fantasy of playing as Red Hood or Nightwing, who are supposed to be Olympian level athletes and near-perfect martial artists. It makes no sense, and takes me out of the game. The animations are choppy at times, and the lack of a parry button is puzzling. This game could've been so much better, but instead we get a mediocre game to tide us over until Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

We all know how this game started out: a greedy attempt by EA to extract as much money from us as possible. Loot boxes galore. However, as of this day DICE has released the final update for this game: the Scarif update. After this, this game is complete. I can't overstate how much this game has improved and redeemed itself. I credit DICE for this, not EA. Every map is well-crafted and detailed. The sound and visuals are some of the best in a shooter. It FEELS and SOUNDS like Star Wars. The gunplay is fantastic; each blaster feels unique. There are far more game modes now then there was at start. Galactic Assault and Supremacy are the two big ones. These are the most epic in scale and length, and they are so much fun. Ewok Hunt is an almost terrifying way to play, as one side plays as Ewoks and the other side as stormtroopers. Ewoks are quite terrifying at night on Endor. There are plenty of heroes and villains in the game, though Asajj Ventress and Ahsoka and Jango Fett would have been nice. Most of the heroes and villains and trooper classes have different skins, which is nice touch! Plenty of clone war era skins to play around with! Hero/villain gameplay is pretty good, but i do hope if there is a Battlefront 3 they add more depth to their gameplay (better lightsaber v lightsaber combat options would be nice). All in all, I would say this game is better than all previous iterations of Battlefront, even the Pandemic Studios ones. Probably one of the biggest comebacks in video game history

This game was my first foray into the Alien universe. I had never seen any of the movies, and really didn't even know what the Alien looked like (DVD covers of the movies was the only image I had). I love horror games, but hate ones that dabble in spiritism and occult. So when this game was released, I jumped on it. Un-killable Alien monster stalking you on a spaceship and no way to fight back?? Sounds good to me! This is probably one of the best horror games ever made, hands down. From a design and atmosphere perspective, Creative Assembly did their homework, and they successfully replicated the look and feel of the Alien Universe. The tech looks straight out of the futuristic ideas of the 70s, and the music matches Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack perfectly. The story is good enough, nothing spectacular. You play as Amanda Ripley, all grown up. If the last name didn't give it away, she is Ellen Ripley's daughter. She is approached by Weyland-Yutani to join a team that is about to pick up the Nostromo flight recorder from Sevastapol mining station. Amanda is hoping this will give her answers about her mother's fate. Amanda gets stranded on Sevastapol, and learn that the station's inhabitants are being stalked by the Alien, and now the player must try and survive. The Alien is animated so well, and the AI of the Alien is almost too smart. If you play on Nightmare difficulty, the hardest one, the Alien is breathing down your neck constantly. At times, it does get frustrating. But usually I am to blame, because I didn't make use of the tools I have or I sat in one place for far too long, too scared to move. The Alien can pull you out of lockers and cabinets, or ambush you from a vent. It's terrifying, and its great. Creative Assembly has said there is no sequel in the cards. I don't understand why the hell not. In an age when sequels and prequels are being made for franchises people have forgotten about (Terminator, Charlie's Angel's) it boggles the mind that they are not going to make a sequel that is highly demanded by the gamer community, and for a franchise that is still loved by many. I have since watched the movies, and I am a fan of most of them. So come on Creative Assembly/Sega, greenlight the damn thing and make a sequel that takes place on a colony or something!

TIred of this Dr. Who acting like she needs to be some sort of moral authority and lecture me every episode. Could do without the constant political messaging and identity politics

A direct rip-off of Dances With Wolves. Just change the setting to space and you've got it. Military man joins the enemy to learn their ways and earn their trust so that he can manipulate them, but instead he ends up loving their ways and culture and falls in love with a woman of their culture. Same exact thing. Just looks nicer

Hearts of Iron 4 is a game that is its most satisfying when the player takes time to learn all the mechanics and systems. If you play this game with only a knowledge of land combat and a basic knowledge of air combat, then this game will not be fun. But if you learn the naval side of it, if you learn how all the national focuses mesh and affect your nation, then the game comes together into an incredibly fun and addictive experience. I initially tried playing this game with the idea that I wasn't going to use my navy or airforce at all (i didn't understand them) and it would be ok. But it's not. Just like in real life, trying to play as France without using your airforce or navy and relying only on infantry is a huge mistake and it won't work. The navy affects trade, and trade effects production, and production affects your army. It's all connected. You must learn ALL the mechanics to enjoy this game. Once you do learn, I recommend playing with historical AI turned off. This means that the AI won't try to stick to the history books (Communist Russia, Fascist Germany,etc etc). This will allow for some pretty crazy scenarios to occur, such as Communist USA, Democratic Germany, or even an alliance between Fascist Germany and France. This makes for a unique playthrough every time! Hearts of Iron 4 is full of depth and complexity, but if you take the time to learn it, its one of the most addicting grand strategy games out there
