Based on the reviews, I was expecting the story to rival red dead redemption 2 or uncharted, this fell way short of expectations. The story was pretty predictable from start to finish, it was the sort of narrative you would find in a tv movie on channel five. The gameplay, I thought the game did miss exploration, purely as the setting was stunning and there was a part you could collect things to upgrade your player, yet you could only go there when the game decided during certain missions. The mechanics when in a gun fight, the aim was a nightmare, kept swaying. The graphics were okay, maybe close to assassins creed syndicate. For the price, I wouldn’t suggest paying full price, I’d wait for a sale or if it goes free on ps plus. With all the short comings, it’s not a bad game, unlike the previous mafia instalments, it just has no replay value. I’m in shock that the game is rated so highly, the only plausible explanations is that the reviews were written by the creators or people who have just bought their first game console. Hopefully another developer will take over.

There’s lots of reviews here commenting on the sphere building in Las Vegas, not sure if people are confused that it’s a film/movie review 🤣🤔 On to the film 🍿 The movie was definitely better than expected. I’ve given it 5 stars as it felt like a proper science fiction film. The plot was intriguing and it didn’t lag too much. The only thing I felt which could have been better was some of the character emotions seemed unreal, example, there is a scene where one of the female characters was in a life/death situation and Hoffman’s character just sat in the kitchen and didn’t react. It is one of those films that leaves somethings unexplained however that could have been a nod to the plot. Maybe a sphere 2? Could help explain a few things 🤔 I would definitely recommend this movie.

I thought the acting was brilliant. All the cast played their roles really well. I felt the plot was thin in parts and the genre was more physiological horror. I’m not sure how people got confused by the trailer, it’s blatantly obvious that it has religious themes and questions around this. However I do appreciate that some might find it offensive. Personally I believe in God and a movie that is fictional and made purely for entertainment purposes isn’t going to change my belief system. I have only given it 4 stars as previously mentioned the plot was a bit thin and some parts in it didn’t seem realistic in the sense how the characters reacted to certain situations (no fault of the actors or actresses).

I haven’t played WWE games in over 10 years however I am familiar with 2k games. First impressions, I thought the graphics were okay and the controls felt heavy. After playing through a few matches. I looked through the main menu for other experiences, I have to say whilst there is many options, unless you have played these games year on year, it’s a nightmare to find anything. Overall I found the gameplay robotic, in the sense that while trying to make the experience realistic they have sucked all the fun out of it. I played a few different matches like hell in the cell or a ladder match, with previous games before 2010, there was a sense of urgency or desperation with the environment, this game doesn’t really involve the environment your in. The graphics are okay and yes some extra detail in expressions however to compare the 2008 game with this game, this is actually quite poor considering 2 consoles have been released since then. I have given 3 stars as I’m under the impression if you were born 2000 onwards or your first console was a ps4 or Xbox one, you’ll probably think this is amazing. This game has made me get out my old ps3 and buy the old versions of the game, I’ll go back to being a dinosaur as way more fun.

My first AC was black flag and then I was hooked to the series. I’ve since played a majority of the games. In my opinion the best feel of an AC game is the setting, you feel as if you’re in another time period with real life persons. I felt Mirage didn’t have any of that, it felt like it was trying to remember its roots to stealth etc however it was like they took all the good stuff out. I’ve given it 3 stars because it’s an okay game, I feel it doesn’t have much replay value, however for assassin creed fans, it’s worth playing to cover character depth. The overall combat system, graphics are okay but not groundbreaking. I do hope they bring back the uniqueness of the AC games in the future.

Based on the trailer, I was quite excited about this film, however it was a total let down. I felt the story was building then just fell flat. For a horror, there was a few comedy scenes in it, like what?! I think if you’re a fan of the series, it may bring you nostalgia but for someone like myself who grew up watching horrors like the ring or the grudge, it was terrible. However I have given the two stars based on good acting from some of the leading actors/actresses and the setting was decent. I would suggest to maybe save your cash and wait til you can rent off a stream service, the scariest moment was paying for the experience in the cinema.

First, start off by saying, I wasn’t fussed on the first one. However I was told that it was going to be an epic and it doesn’t matter if you didn’t enjoy the first one… Err no! I walked into that cinema expecting a film like gladiator (that epic a movie) it was just a sequel to a movie I wasn’t really fussed on. I’m not saying it’s bad, it just wasn’t that great. However if you were a fan of the first one, you will probably like it. I believe these films do bring some nostalgia back. I believe that’s what type of film it was.

I will be fair, ok graphics for an open world game when released, ok story to follow and ok gameplay however the reason for the really low rating was that it was boring. Comparing it to similar games of genre like Skyrim, oblivion or even assassins creed it wasn’t 10/10. I’ve put the 1 star as I want people to read an honest review. Honestly everyone has different enjoyments and some might find this enjoyable and the only way is to find out but I would suggest a demo or free download to play.

The last of us was a master piece. I believe it was always going to be tough to follow up on. However I did have high hopes considering the great work done on uncharted 4. The last of us 2 was all over the place. I'm not saying it's a bad game, its definitely worth a rental to just see the follow up. I felt the storyline was taken in the wrong direction. The character Abby, I felt was put in the game for controversy. Spoiler** playing the villain of the game, some games you understand that persons motives or you gain a better understanding of why they did what they have done, however I didn't enjoy playing Abby, it felt forced. The graphics were good and overall gameplay was pretty much the same as the original. If they created a third, maybe they could say Ellie had a dream which was the last of us 2, they could start again.

Great game, definitely worth a play. It's slow starting off however does get going eventually. The story is good but I just felt there was some instances where certain missions offered background information which they didn't expand into, which could have connected into the main plot more. The game mechanics are pretty straightforward. Overall it is a good game.
