Adriaan VR

If you play this game for a few hours (like most reviewers would) you'll likely rate it very good. You'll be drawn in with some nice set pieces and graphics. But this is not a good game. While the graphics and world are breathtaking at times, the dialog and writing leave a lot to be desired. The combat is broken and the story as convoluted as ever. What's worse is the blatant anti-consumer practices: In-game currency, micro-transactions in an unfinished yet overpriced game, bad interface and enemy AI and far too much 'modern sensibilities' for the historic setting means this game won't have a lasting playerbase or following like some of the other AC games have.

An aggressively mid experience at this point. Almost every aspect looks and feels unpolished and undercooked. The characters look stilted and detached from the game world, the action looks straight out of 2003 and the dialog is so unimpressive it's not worth the bits it takes to show it. All that said it show potential, if the devs can ban together and figure out what they did wrong then there's still something to salvage here. But until then i'd suggest you avoid Avowed.

Brave New World feels like watching a spin-off of your favorite TV show that you didn't ask for, didn't want, but watched because you're invested in the setting. It relies on the same subtle joke format and overcut action scenes you've seen in every movie since Ironman 3. Add to that terrible CGI that looks so out of place it's like you're watching something in pre-production. Worst of all is the characters: just an unmemorable collection of faces and cookie cutter personalities you'll forget by the time the credits role. Hopefully this will be a wake-up call for the ones working at Marvel, but looking at their track record so far, they will learn nothing, make the exact same movie in 8 months and just rinse and repeat until their money runs out in 2031.

To be fair, it's a very pretty game, and a lot of the mechanics are well thought out and implemented. But my goodness is everything and everyone just a massive 'product of the time'. There's no way to be immersed in the setting or grow to like the characters with how preachy and heavy handed the game is. I found myself just mashing through dialogue to try and get back to what i was enjoying. It's a real shame.

A pretty game 5 years late to the party. It might have done slightly better if it wasn't made by soulless, talentless freaks.

If this game has taught me anything it's: - being triggered is a choice - if you're not unique/special/different in a good way, (i.e. just a normal person) you have no place in the world - always surround yourself with people who look/think/talk just like you, never invite different perspectives into your group - do not talk to, listen to, or acknowledge the people who think differently than you, they are always wrong, you are always right - it's okay to hate white people simply based on the colour of their skin whoever made this should be ashamed that THIS is what they decided to introduce into the world The worst part is... it's not even a fun game...

It's just Skyrim in space. But worse.... somehow....

A Glamourous and gorgeous game that gives fans exactly what they want, to run around Hogwarts, cast spells and immerse themselves in a fantastical world. Movement can feel/look a little clunky but the sheer satisfaction one gets from pulling off a well timed spell overshadows all minor middling complaints.

A very pretty game, but not worth the price tag. Its combat and movement is fluid and fun once you master it, but any scene where any character interacts with another will leave you reaching for the 'skip' button. Best played by someone who has never played anything else ever.

A woke bastardization of a beloved classic. The show uses poorly written characters in decently animated scenes to tell awkward stories that will age poorly. Everyone who says they actually enjoy this show is lying.
