One of the best games I've ever played. This indie game easily rivals most AAA games out there. The combat, music, art design, and exploration are top-notch. The map is absolutely gigantic and it keeps getting bigger and bigger and completely blew away my expectations. The developers, Team Cherry, are also extremely generous giving away tons of free expansions. I love this game very, very much.

I have been playing souls games for a while now; Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. When I saw Bloodborne I knew it was another banger by FromSoftware. Level design is amazing, bosses are amazing, amazing drip, amazing weapons an easy 9/10. Only problem was the fact that it was only 24 hours long, when the other games were much longer. Maybe it was because I didn't wanted Bloodborne to end haha.

As a sequel to Arkham Asylum, Arkham City is a massive improvement over everything Arkham Asylum was. Better graphics, combat, traversal, story, everything. First of, the gameplay is infinitely better. Somehow, it feels much more responsive and satisfying in City. The map is also much bigger and the open-world aspect made it much more fun to play. In Asylum there were very few enemy variety while in City it increases much more. Each enemy has a different way to be beaten which prevents combat from getting boring. The open-world traversal is also much better since Batman can glide over longer distances and there are lots of grapple points. Also, being able to play as Catwoman was also really fun since she has an entirely different moveset from Batman. The boss fights in City crazy good compared to the lame ass final fight with Joker in Asylum. The story in City is miles ahead of Asylum's. There are now dozens of villains such as Hugo Strange, Penguin, Two-face, Ra, and of course Joker. There are much more villains but they don't play a major role as those mentioned above. All these different villains hate each other and or manipulate each other. Plot twists are also amazing and a complete surprise too. Overall, a complete upgrade over Asylum in every way possible.

One of my most favorite FromSoftware game, behind Elden Ring of course. After finishing Elden Ring, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice introduces a whole new way of combat. Instead of rolling around like crazy, each attack can be parried which adds a whole new layer of depth. Sekiro has gorgeous graphics. Fountainhead Palace, Senpou Temple and Ashina Castle are all breathtaking in scenery and scale. Sekiro has no RPG mechanics like levelling up but instead uses skill trees to add even more depth to the gameplay. Instead of simply doing more damage, you can choose to be able to counter spear attacks for example. There are no weapon variety in Sekiro; you play with a katana for the entire game. But thats no problem because there are tons of prosthetic tools to enchance gameplay, Overall, Sekiro is one of my favorite soulsborne game. A solid 9/10

My most favorite Resident Evil game ever. I haven't played the original Resident Evil 4 (2005) but this remake is so much fine. Out of all the 3 remakes I would say RE4 is the best one because its so much more fast-paced and introduced so many new combat mechanics. It has better knife usage allowing you to assassinate enemies and stab stunned enemies which wasn't possible in past resident evil games. The graphics is absolutely stunning and Ashley looks gorgeous (not as beautiful as Ada obviously) and comparing the old 2005 RE4 I can see a massive difference. The bosses are very well designed and look terrifying (no spoilers) and the level design is fantastic (my favorite level has to be the minecart one). I definitely recommend playing Resident Evil 4 Remake if you are a fan of the Resident Evil series or just starting. It isn't necessary to play past games to enjoy this one (maybe playing Resident Evil 2 Remake is recommended since it gives more character to Ada Wong).

The best souls game in my opinion, I have spent over 100 hours in Elden Ring and it almost never seems to get stale. The large, dense open world with massive secret areas that only some players explored gives a sense mystery and there are always new things to discover that you might have missed on your first playthrough. On top of that, there are so many ways to play and magic is now better than ever with almost a hundred different spells and incantations. Strength builds are able to enjoy a massive variety of colossal weapons and greatswords while dexterity builds can wield katanas and longswords, etc. There are so many types of builds possible like katanas+magic or greatswords+incantations which makes future playthroughs so much more enjoyable. To get the platinum trophy for Playstation, I played the game 3 times over (100+ hours) to get all 3 different endings (theres more than 3 endings, but only 3 are required for plat). Overall, if you are a souls veteran this game is definitely for you but if you're new to the souls series Elden Ring is a great game to start.

Resident Evil 3 Remake was my second game from the franchise after RE2 Remake so I will be comparing them a lot. The graphics are very well done, almost exactly like RE2R which looks absolutely beautiful. The environment is now brighter, unlike the dark hallways in the second game. Character models look fantastic and detailed. This game is significantly more action-packed than RE2R. Much, much more chase sequences, boss-fights and less moments where you have to figure out your way through a labyrinth and less "key finding" moments. However, I would say the map is smaller and restrictive than the second game running around is less tedious but also loses some of its freedom. The main antagonist is Nemesis, which is definitely not as scary as Mr. X from RE2. The problem with more action-packed gameplay is that most of them are scripted events, meaning that chase sequences aren't as terrifying but more has more action. For example, chase sequences in RE2 involves trying to "escape" Mr. X. What makes it so terrifying is that the chase duration isn't scripted meaning that he is chasing you throughout the game. HE DOES NOT STOP. You could easily bump into him again. In RE3 however, the chase ends after Jill jumps off a building or squeeze through a vent or something. This means that after a chase sequence, you can be sure that Nemesis isn't gonna appear again (for at least a period of time until the next encounter which can be unexpected). You don't have to constantly worry about him. The biggest disappointment in RE3 however, is the game length. It took me 8 hours to beat Leon's story in RE2, which I still have Claire's story is complete (which is probably another 8 hours). In RE3 however, I beat the story in 6 hours. Jill is the only protagonist so after beating the main story there isn't much left to do but replay the game to get all the achievements or collectibles. Capcom spent time on a multiplayer mode for RE3 but most people don't play Resident Evil for multiplayer, they play it for the characters and story and bosses. In conclusion, RE3 is a good game that is dragged down by its criminally short length of 6 hours. You DEFINITELY DO NOT need to play RE3 to play RE4, since none of the story is connected. RE2 and 4 are connected though. As someone who played all the remakes, if you are running want the full Resident Evil experience, RE3 is definitely worth a shot.

This is probably one of PlayStation's flagship games and I must say its pretty good, but tedious at times. There isn't much depth in the combat system since its mainly shooting and gameplay can be a drag at times. Now in the graphics department, the game absolutely excels and probably delivers a much prettier experience than the original (haven't played). The zombies look detailed and so are the environments, with dense foliage and high resolution textures it looks incredible. This was also my first PS4 game which added to the wow factor. In the gameplay department.. its very barebones if you ask me. There is not as much interactivity and is kind of just shooting zombies. I really, really hated the parts when you fight humans because I am playing a zombie game. If I wanted to shoot up some guys I would be playing Call of Duty. I know its a part of the world building since apocalypses has raiders and hostile survivors but it gets annoying when there are more human shooting at me than zombies running at me. As for the storyline, its great to say the least. Character development is one of the best, with all characters seeming real and behave realistically. I would say the performance capture is one of the best of all time-if not only rivalled by Detroit Become Human. In most games, characters don't behave like humans and feel NPC-ish but with The Last of Us, everyone feels alive and real. Overall, I would say this is a must-play for people who owns playstation consoles and love story-driven games.

My first resident evil game, and it's one of my favourites. I remember fearfully walking down the hallways of the Raccoon Police Department, bracing myself for when the next zombies spring out of the dark. Zombies feel like an actual threat unlike zombies in call of duty. It also doesn't have cheap junpscares, however, what makes zombies so dangerous is that they are incredibly tanky. It takes a few headshot just to drop them and there is a high chance it might just wake up and surprise you. The enemy varity is adequate for a 8 hour game. Boss battles are unique and challenging but aren't like the typical bosses with health bars. Most bosses can't simply be shot to death and there are special ways to take them out. The story is not straightforward but instead are uncovered the more progress is made. There are lots of iconic protagonists as well as antagonists so this is a must play resident evil game if you want to start the franchise. However, what I extremely dislike is how indirect the game is sometimes. On certain parts of the game, it doesn't have the player any hints on what to do so I occasionally have to whip out YouTube for a guide. Very, very annoying as I prefer being able to dive into the game alone and playing through walkthroughs feel like a chore. Keep in mind this only happens on very specific parts of the game. I also wish the important items glow because occasionally I miss them which ends up being needed to get past an obstacle. Overall, I would say it's a solid 9/10, and a must play for most players

This was my first God of War game and I must say I was a little underwhelmed. The combat is satisfying at first but can be a little repetitive at times. Atreus is sometimes annoying but it is cool seeing his relationship with Kratos develops as the game progresses. I also very much prefer the Blades of Chaos to the Leviathan Axe, mostly because I never got the chance to play the older God of War games. The graphics in this game is incredibly stunning. Almost no game has ever reached this amount of details and beauty in God of War, which is pretty crazy considering its more combat-oriented rather than story (which is well-written too). Now when I first bought it, I fully expected to be fighting gods like Zeus, Hades, or Thor but no, I fought Thor's SONS instead. I know this is my fault since I didn't do enough research but I was hoping to fight Thor at least. Baldur and his brothers are very interesting antagonists. I feel sympathy towards Baldur at times and understand his actions. Most games just write off villains as bad guys but God of War's villains are well-written. I am not as familiar to Norse mythology as much as Greek, but this game was an interesting introduction. My biggest complaint about the game is the repeated boss fights. Fighting a giant or an orc for the first time is fantastic and all but fighting them for the fifth time starts to get old. There also is a lack of enemy variety. Most enemies are just variants of each other e.g magic type, heavy type, ranged type, melee type and he worst offenders are the Dragurs. They appear way too many times and fighting them gets really old. Overall, this game is pretty decent, especially if you are planning to play God of War Ragnarok which is a direct sequel (can finally fight Thor). I definitely recommend this for new players because the graphics are just so much better.
