As a big fan of everything Colin Moriarty was in since the beginning of his career (Beyond, PS I Love You and now Sacred Symbols), that was a joy to play. The gameplay is simple but yet very fun and engaging. The story is where the game really shine, you can tell that it's Colin's work throughout. If you can buy it and support another fellow hardcore Plastation fan and have fun in the process, why not? Recommended.

Not much I can add to everything that has already been said: This game is a freaking masterpiece! It's pretty rare for me to even use that word, but I think this game is perfect. I wouldn't change anything. I'm not gonna talk about anything else to avoid spoilers. If you didn't already played this for some strange reason: DO IT!

Man, what a ride! After approximately 60 hours of grinding on and off, I finally got around to finish this beast of a game. I love this game very much, but to be honest, the grinding was really unnecessary (I look at you, sphere grids). Nonetheless, I enjoyed the ride, especially since I was playing on the beautiful Vita, so the grinding could be done anywhere, anytime. I really think that the story of this game is among the best of any Final Fantasy games and that the characters are extremely well done. I loved this game since the first time I played on release day on my Playstation 2 and will always love it. Instant classic!

This game was my first Far Cry game and let's say that I'm a fan now! Even if the game is kinda old at this point, I had a lot of fun. The story was forgettable, but the gameplay really shined and kept me going. The gunplay was fluid and really fun and it was also really cool to explore the map. Which game would you recommend going for now in the Far Cry series? I have Far Cry 3 Remastered, Far Cry 5 and Far Cry A New Dawn.

[Spider-Man] Finally got Spider-Man to 100%! Second playthrough was a lot of fun and the Ultimate difficulty is where the game really shine! Enjoyed every seconds of it.

Well, let's say I'm disappointed. I've been eyeing this game for months now, thinking this was exactly what I needed: a JRPG based on old-school JRPGs with tons of reference, good music and a great gameplay. Let's say that the only good thing about this game was the combat system. The story was boring and convulated. The fact that there's no voice acting really hurt the game in my opinion. The game was so generic, there's literally only one setting and all the dungeons looks the same. I feel like this game started with a good idea but the devs ran out of time and decided to cut a lot of content. There's literally empty towns on the map that don't serve any purpose. My recommendation would be: find yourself a better JRPG, there's tons around!

Oh boy, where do I start with this? Let me say this first: the game is extremely fun and I loved the time I spent with it. It's very unique and an experience I never experienced before and that's pretty rare in this day and age. The issue is: it's very buggy on PS4. Like... extremely buggy. Framedrops all the time, losing saves, collectibles not counting, glitch platinum, etc... So if you're interested in buying this game on PS4, hold on a couple weeks until everything is fixed. The game's is very much worth the wait, you won't be disappointed when everything's fixed.

Platinum #143: Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (PS4)

Trophy rating difficulty: 4/10

A very good game with an awful trophy list, hence why it took so long for me to get the platinum. The game itself is very good with the classic feel of Tomb Raider. The multiplayer trophies are just extremely long and boring to do. The online has never been alive anyway, so boosting alone was not a good experience. The good thing is that I had a lot of fun with the single player, even though some trophies had a chance of bugging out, I didn't experienced it myself.
