A F – Google

I've been playing DMC5 for a little over a week now having enjoyed other titles in the series..first one I still consider to be the best. The game is quite repetitive following the same format on each level(fight enemies, collect orbs, some more enemies, some more orbs, make a phone call, fight end-stage boss). Nero is quite boring to use once you use up his interchangeable arms, V is a decent character and Dante has a plethora of skill-sets and weapons(however some weapons are introduced so late in the game you barely get to use them). Honestly, once I unlocked Dante I was able to continuously use the same weapons(motorcycle/rocket launcher gun) and button mash to receive S-SS ratings for each enemy obstacle. Using one fighting style over another may give you the impression they may be different but ultimately it is a useless feature resulting in same outcome. The environments are dizzying at times where the background all looks the same, color and all, and distinguishing where you can jump and where you can't makes no sense at times. Graphics are nice(as they should be on a 4th generation platform). Levels were boring overall though. I was quite surprised to see how highly-rated this game was on some major Internet gaming websites. Some sites giving it anywhere between 9 and 9.5. This game really deserves between a 6.5 to 7, tops. There is nothing revolutionary about it, nothing great about the barely-there story and is nothing more than previous entries in the series.

I went into this game having no immediate expectation whatsoever. I mostly enjoy playing open-world games moreso than other game genres due to the multitude of activities offered to the player as well as having the freedom to openly explore the vast world. I felt bored from the get-go with playing Biomutant as the game(along with the narrator) never really seemed to draw me into the story after several hours/days worth of play. The enemies were easy to defeat(even playing on the Extreme difficulty level) offering no challenge whatsoever as you could easily take them down from afar with your blaster. The story was familiar as it is a common theme explored in most games of this genre. Nothing new there. I felt that the developers were overly-ambitious towards trying to cram in as much into the game as possible. I felt it was just too much as far as the useless mutant abilities, upgrades upon upgrades for your clothing?, etc. Sometimes less is more and all these additions to the game don't really offer much unless they have some use to the character. The game seemed to me like a worse version of Ratchet & Clank as it was evident in the gameplay, the characters and even the silly names assigned to the weapons. The game does have beautiful environments but nothing jaw-dropping that you haven't already seen or experienced in its predecessors. Overall, if you're a fan of these type of games, skip this one and pick up Horizon Zero Dawn.
