Very humiliating and disgracing to what’s left of the MCU legacy. Rewatch iron man 1, don’t waste your time here.

I’m sorry. I want to be progressive and resilient but I cannot stand by and permit homosexual implications between minors who are portrayed as blood related bothers alongside frequent nudity when there’s no credible evidence to suggest this within the source material. You are going out of your way to imply homosexual incest where there no credible evidence of such. It feels like a pedo production team concealing their deviant fetishes behind the thin veil of creative liberties.

Interesting characters, good pacing, intriguing narrative & solid character arcs

The cure for chronic insomnia. Bored my wife and I to sleep on multiple occasions. 80% soap opera & 20% alien invasion. It has all the cliche runtime padding you can imagine: bullying, colored lesbians, and cheating husband on the perfect hardworking wife. These soap opera elements take 80% of any given episode’s runtime. Webster dictionary has now listed “invasion” as synonymous with “confused” and “boredom” post release of this tv series. It has redefined its genre and its meaning in the worst ways possible.

Pros: Strong opening. Decent combat. Stunning graphical fidelity. Reasonably compelling narrative. Cons: Inconsistent writing quality Surface level rpg mechanics Not as thematically dark both in art style and events. Conclusion: If you’re here for a fun fantasy action game with stunning visuals, good combat, and light rpg mechanics this is a good time. With the right expectations, this is a fun experience for what it is.

In summation, too much happens too quickly resulting in vague setups which lead to underwhelming payoffs and rushed character arcs. While there are some thrilling action sequences, the formula feels too cookie-cutter/ generic & predictable. A more distinctive plot, better pacing and a smaller scope was needed.

Intriguing storyline and sufficiently distinctive but character arcs are woeful, disgraceful and embarrassing. Characters making mind numbingly stupid decisions throughout its immersion shattering. It tries too hard to conclude profoundly with a monologue that feels tangibly forced.

Impressions on ps5: The good: It generally looks good from an art style, color scheme and animation design standpoint. The combat system is interesting. Deaths aren’t as punishing as soulsborne games and it’s quite different than a soulsborne game in many regards. The bad: No mode offers a capped frame rate leading to inconsistencies in the way it runs. Digital foundry review shows just how many concessions were made from a technical standpoint. Camera angles and fov isn’t great. Invisible walls are prevalent and immersion-breaking. Hitting an enemy isn’t satisfying like it is in other top games in and out of the souls genre - it’s light and feeble feeling. The pacing is off, levels are narrow, overly linear, feature sparse and few regular enemies while chaining boss encounters in close succession. The difficulty is oppressive - not in a way that’s insurmountable but rather in a manner that’s tedious via boring repetition. There isn’t a good variety of gear. Bosses have no buildup, narrative or otherwise, their frequently cheapens the experience of beating one because there’s another 2 mins away. Overall, shockingly disapppinting. Regretfully I purchased on ps store so refunding isn’t an option. Await more diverse reviews and look at digital foundry review, they hid ps5 variant for a reason.

I was only able to play about 1.5 hours of this and I have no interest in continuing. On Ps5, performance is choppy, graphical fidelity is weak, narrative is vague and poorly delivered in the opening scenes, facial animations are embarrassing yet spotlighted exemplifying the overarching dissonance is the rest of this package. The combat is somewhat of a saving grace but insufficient to offset the myriad other woes. In combination, the frame rate, animations and pop-in on console is really immersion breaking and I usually have a decent tolerance for this. Maybe the narrative and combat further improves, but I’m unwilling to invest the time to find out.
