Plat 55 : Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

 

Fun: 9

Difficulty: 6

Grind: 0

 

One of my all time favourite games, it's so much fun! 

The port is much better this time around, you have way more freedom in how you map your controls.

P.s: If you don't get Protect and Absorb on your Master run - you're gonna have a bad time!

BATTLEFIELD V

World War Two Hero

I must say that I came with really high hopes from BF1, but this game is just broken even now, after various updates and fixes. it's hard to really enjoy it like previous Battlefield games, but luckily they got rid of some annoying trophies like collectibles and get a kill with certain weapon so it's kind of easy platinum.

Platinum is not overly difficult but the game is way too buggy and glitchy to be fully enjoyable.

 Platinum #66 - Days Gone

Difficulty: 4/10

Overall fun: 7/10

Story: 9/10

Gameplay: 6/10 (okay 5/10 if I'm being honest)

 

I kind of started this one on a whim because it was free with the PS+ Collection thingy. The first few hours were.. worrying. I was worried I'd even have the interest to finish the game let alone go for platinum. But oh my gosh I am so glad I stuck with it! I absolutely LOVED THE STORY for this game. I was so hooked, and became so attached to the main cast of characters that I'm genuinely going to miss them now that it's over. The story is really what carried me through to platinum, and the score I gave it reflects it. I'm not really a fan of weapon durability in games in general, and I can see why they went for a more realistic accuracy .. uh.. model, but I'm already  not the best at fps games and this just made it even harder to do. The constant crafting of items also got a bit tiring after a while but I'm glad they had the quick craft wheel thingy to make it less painful. The addition of an in-game trophy tracker is *chefs kiss* amazing. More games need it, it removes so much guesswork and turns potentially tedious and headachey trophies into something to keep an eye on every so often. 

 

This feels like it's getting a little long so I'll end it with: I really hope there's a sequel because I need more of Deacon and Boozer in my life

Platinum #62 : Thief (PS4)

 

5 years ago, I got platinum the game on ps3 and I missed this game so much so decided to play again on ps4.

Although a lot of people found the game bad and boring, it was really fun for me.

This game reminded me again what attention and patience really mean.

it's never a difficult game, but it's your decision to show that patience for platinum lol.

#536 - Moons of Mandess

 

 

A bit of a mixed bag. It's atmospheric and has some fitting jump scares, but it becomes less interesting the further the game goes on.  Expected a bit more from this survival horror title. It's more of a walking sim with a handful of chase segments.

 #61 - Dead Island 

 

 

 

Difficulty: 3/10

Enjoyment: 5/10

Time: 48 hours

 

I'm not a fan of "cliche" zombies games, the first time I played this game I didn't like it, after so many years I decided to give it another try and I still don't like it, the story is aweful, honestly I couldn´t  care less about the main plot and their characters, besides that, this game has a really good gameplay, the combat system is really good. Don't get me wrong, this is a fun game to play, especially with friends, but still, not a fan. One of the most annoying trophies this game has is  Rootin' Tootin' Lootin' which basically is a luck trophy, depending on which character you have and which skills you have, you can probably get it really fast, otherwise you most farm for this trophy.

Difficulty: 3,5/10

Enjoyment 10/10

 

What an amazing game. Borrowed it from a friend 2 years ago, but didn't have time back then.

Picked it up again recently and just couldn't put my controller down.

The feel of the game is just breathtaking, the storytelling is the best i've experienced in a game so far and the action keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Top 5 best games i have played right here.

 

#28: Concrete Genie 

  The Artist of Denska

Difficulty 2/10

Enjoyment 8,5/10

 

This one suprised me. It's pretty short and an easy platinum, but really fun!

A few VR required trophies will keep me from 100%, but i will probably heal from that.

Recommend it for a casual, fun time.

 

#29: Middle-Earth: Shadow of War

The Bright Lord

Difficulty 5/10

Enjoyment 8/10

 

I really love the huge variety of orcs and the interactions with them.

I enjoyed the gameplay aswell, although at a point it becomes repetitive and almost boring.

It took me about 35 hours to platinum, but i must admit i spent way too much hours in the fight pits trying to get followers to Legendary.

Also, the DLC is ridiculously expensive.

 Platinum #96 - The Outer Wilds

 

Definitely one of the best games I've played in a while, wow. First one in ages that's made me cry like a baby, too. When I first heard of this game I thought of it as an Outer Worlds knock off; then once I'd seen the cover art, as an artsy 2D indie game - well, I wasn't wrong with the artsy part, that's for sure. One of the few games that's not only extremely innovative and well made gameplay wise, but also genuinely has something to say about life. If you play this, don't look at a trophy guide for at least the first ~8-10 hours - nothing's missable, anyway.

The sad thing is that all the marketing for this game got drowned out by Outer Worlds. This game actually came out a couple of months before Outer Worlds. :'( I loved this so much. it's annoying that people get it confused with Outer Worlds.

#206: BFA - Darksiders Warmastered Edition

 

I didn't play this back on PS3 but I managed to get it on sale for $5 during a recent sale. I don't think I missed out on much but I think in terms of games that are kind of like a God of War/Devil May Cry mixed with Zelda kind of game I thought it was good and felt original enough. The character and item designs were pretty cool, and the gameplay was fun even if it didn't feel as good as God of War or DMC. It was also cool having Mark Hamill be The Watcher since he gave out hints and talked about other stuff if you held the touchpad, so it was kind of like having a demonic Joker follow you around. ?

Agents of Mayhem

#18: Agent of the Month

 

This platinum was a slog for me and sadly is almost the same story as my 16th platinum of Anthem, the core game was fine and enjoyable but the last trophy I required was a pain as I needed to do 15 daily contacts which I was not able to finish every day since some of them requires a lot of time ingame waiting for events to happen which sometimes wouldn't. The 350 crystals scattered around the city wasn't a great experience either causing this game and another to give me trophy burn out. Now I am happy to say that it is completely finished and I don't have to think about it anymore and can go finish some of my other games.. perhaps.. Knack! No joke I actually enjoyed that game but sadly that can wait as I have been saying for ages that Dragon Ball Kakarot needs to be done.

Persona 5 Strikers

#156: True Phantom Thief

[Darghel]

 

#96  The Surge 2 (The Surge 2...yep, shocking isn't it?)

Difficulty: Surprisingly easy, with the occasional spike in difficulty

Time to Complete: Around 30 hours (DLC included)

Recommended: Yes

Total Score: 6.5/10

 

Not going to lie, I was expecting way worse: the first Surge was a very frustrating "soulsborn" game that really made me question why I was even trying. It was so unbalanced, so frustrating, so annoying and hard to follow (literally and metaphorically) that I was postponing this game for a long time. And then I played and I got immediately hooked.

 

I'll try to be short because there isn't a lot of improvements over the first game, but they are the ones that count: leveling now is actually meaningful and you are able to allocate points to health, stamina and battery (previously Energy), leaving the slots for your passives or active abilities - in the original, you could only get extra hp by having the implants, which were found around the level and required an insane amount of core level to equip them. And you were also limited to 8 slots at the start.

 

Secondly, exploration is much better...it's still a maze and you'll get lost a LOT, but gone are the huge amounts of tunnels of the first game: now you have a city to explore, with hubs you can visit (only 3 but hey) and plenty of quests to follow, which aren't all necessary either (and thankfully for that!). The city itself isn't huge or anything but at the very least you have more places to explore, and each area is quite huge. I really enjoyed the Krakow ship, such a shame that it's very, VERY small...

 

Third, the combat was slightly improved but in ways that feels at least more fun and enjoyable: your heals are now tied to your battery stacks, which are recharged in battle (just like energy in the first game), however you can store your heals if you don't use the battery charges and if your are able to recharge quickly you can potentially have infinite heals (in the first game it was much more complicated even if it was identical, and required a lot more energy to proc it)

Also armors are better: now they have 2 effects on equip, one at 3 and one at full armor, and this allows you to mix and match your armor for better specialization: having 2 armors that increase a type of elemental damage, or one that increases defense while also allowing you to dodge more often, and so on.

Weapons have been slightly improved, adding a couple more types like, from 5 of the original (one handed, staves, heavy duty, single rigged and twin rigged) up to 9 (all of the previous plus punching gloves, hammers, spears and double duty), which is a blessing as first game really lacked variety in weapons and you would be using few weapons throughout the entire game. It's still a shame you can't "infuse" your weapons with elements, a benefit allowed only for some weapons with definite elemental effects. Oh well, at least they removed the proficiencies!

 

But the most important change to combat is the parry system: in the original game parrying wasn't often reliable, if at all really, but in this game, parry has a new twist and it's probably the best (and also most broken) feature of the game: after you press L1 you're in a parry stance, in which you have to move the right analog stick toward the direction of the attack in order to parry, which is provided thanks to an implant. Thanks to this parry system, you can easily break guards, get buffed, and even kill bosses with ease by doing ENORMOUS damage back. With the exception of bosses, who require multiple parries to be staggered, and certain moves which cannot be parried at all, you can parry pretty much anything and since there are buffs that trigger with parrying, you can see this being an easy win. And it's not hard at all, believe me: I couldn't parry almost anything in dark souls or Bloodborne, barely any better in Sekiro, but in this game parrying is a joke so if you're some sort of parry god or ascended, you can pretty much break most fights.

 

And at last, but not least, trophies...honestly they're not too bad but do require a guide, because a lot of stuff can be easily missed and while I'm not a fan of using guides and preferring to play blind, this time I had to do an exception but I think it was worth it: everything can be done on your first playthrough and the game is already fairly short (took me only 30 hours as above mentioned, less if you don't count the DLC, and that's without rushing by the way!) so it's definitely a good idea to use a guide to have an idea what to do, especially since ng+ in this game can be brutal due to how you don't get a lot of health out of leveling and armor caps at MK XX.

 

Overall, I really enjoyed this sequel, not perfect by any means but it's the kind of game that I like: a game that improves on the basis and gets better. I hope for a third but I'm not sure there will be, and the ending didn't really have much of sequel baits either (which is good imo, fewer expectations)

I could mention also some occasional glitches here and there and how it's easy to do some heavy skipping thanks to the jumping but since i had no crashes I would say it's fine.

 

I would recommend it on sale for the most part, but most importantly, don't expect this game to be another Dark Souls, because it's not. It's a game that takes inspiration but it's totally and definitely different and unlike the first it's actually fun to play. 

 

PS: I said I'd TRY to be short, not that I was going to! Sorry for the wall of text!

                                                                                                #125 Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age

                                                                                                  

 

                                                                                                                                Living Legend

                                                                                                           

 

 

I kinda don’t know where to start with this one. The more I think about it the more I am convinced that this was a fantastic experience! The world and the art style are stunning imo and this goes hand in hand with the world and enemy design. The amount of things you can do is great and will keep you busy for a long time. Crafting was probably one of the most fun things in the game as well as levelling and building your characters. The general atmosphere of the game was also superb.

I think most have heard about the rather crappy music and yes, it is true but not as annoying as expected. There was another thing that bothered me more and that was the direction of the game and the lack of a fluent way to tell a story.

 

The game really got me in the end because of all the possibilities but not because of the long story, simply because it wasn’t interesting all the time. Sometimes I was so motivated to go on, cause I liked what was being told and other times what was presented was just plain boring and it felt like a chore to progress.

On top of that the game constantly shifts between cutscenes and scenes where you have to move in order for the story to progress. The problem is that these moments follow no real structure. That means that you watch a certain scene for like 2 minutes then you have to move your party to a specific area which takes like 10 seconds and the game gives you another 3 minute cutscene which leads to another moment where you have to move the characters for a brief time only to find out that this cycle goes on forever! You have to walk the most unnecessary ways I’ve seen in a videogame. Where other games just teleport you around the area DQ11 wants you to move totally random and constantly cuts away from scenes. This leads to the story not being that captivating as it should be.

 

Well that and because of how the characters behaved and talked sometimes. But that was okay, I did not expect anything like TLOU II. And that the hero does not speak didn’t help as well. The post game however was fantastic, due to the world opening up and showing you so much more environments, items, weapons, missions etc. And every time you thought that you are done with everything something else happened and I mean that in the most positive way! The post game just elevated DQ11 to something I did not expect within the first dozen hours. The beginning was a little slow and the aforementioned points really bugged me but man everything else was just so much fun.
