As a Super Heroes nerd, this game seems to have been made for me.

Love the charecters and they feel greatly unique in their own universe. It’s a visually stunning, yet simple, while it offers a visual without a lot of details drawn, there seems to have been great care when crafting the overall look of the game, both in the cutscenes as well as the gameplay UI.

Hopefully there is more of the game, because I really like the universe that was created and their characters. The actual side of the dispatching was very fun and would like to have more of it.

Making a second play through of Detroit: Become Human was really fun, trying to control the results and still be surprised by the game was an extremely fun experience. The story is well written and appeals to my interests. Connor, Kara and Marcus are characters that were very well designed, and how they navigate different situations.

Marvel take on the multi player hero shooter is very well done, characters feel very authentic to comic counterparts, and very unique to play with, offering a variety of play styles possible. The maps having parts being destructible is a really good addition to this type of game, letting you feel the strength of attacks. The graphics, while not being innovative, fit the game and are very well done.

Playing a 15 year old classic for the 1st time made flaws appear bigger than they probably were at launch of the game, for most parts, the game was okay, but shows its age, combat felt very mechanic and stiff, where different mobs required you to use specific mechanics to fight against them, A big hit for the fighting part are the boss fights having a forced fixed camera, when the game is not played like that, this is probably the biggest negative point against it. Having the story be around catching Joker and his shenanigans is something that I did not find interesting, but that is mostly because I find Joker to an uninteresting character. Visually it shows that it is a game launched in 2010, which doesn't mean the graphics are bad.

A complete improvement from the 1st game. The combat felt much more fluid, and the animations for the combat were very well done, but would have been better if Batman and Catwoman had different combat styles, in terms of game mechanics. The art style for the game felt really fitting, and I would have liked to have seen the city during the day, so that I could have a different view to the city architecture. The stoy has certain twists that were truly unexpected and fun, like Ra's Al Gul being the one behind Dr.Hugo Strange, which was a very hatable character, but certain characters felt dumb down as to elevate other characters, while other characters felt like a troubled villain and complicated stories. Mister Freeze and Penguin are characters that were an highlight, in terms of story.

Playing this AC entry, after stoping at Unity, reminded a lot of the 1st game, without any of the animus, which for me felt a bit weird, because AC games were always about those 2 worlds, where we were always playing a simulation inside of the a game, and this felt that the game and simulation were one and the same, which was interrasting for an AC game. The stealth combat and navigation felt very fluid, having diferent ways to do certain objectives or get to targets is always cool and opens up for new playthroughs, contract were also fun and simple. The "loud" combat, while weird in an AC game, felt polished and that you were in a disavantage, if you just don't wait for the counter. The story will not new, had good interresting characters and good plots for them, like Nehal, Rashan and Basim(MC). Transversing through the mao was cool, and felt full of live or nothingness, and for a small map it felt livable. Overall, I quite liked the game, and made be interrested to try to find new AC games.

This was my first Metro game, so I did not have any expections in terms of tone or general gameplay, but I always heard/read good things about the Metro games, and what I ride it was. The story was really great and captivating, I was really enjoying all the characters as they were presented. I just would have like for Artyom to be voiced. Visually, the game tells a great story. and the graphics are good. There was some great "level" design. The combat truly shined at the begining of the game, as the later stages of the game, enemies felt weak and very simple in terms of mechanics. While I want to make a new playthrough to try and get the good ending, knowing that I will have to replay the spider nest bunker or the leeches sewer again is something that I want to have some time between, because those were great levels that make you feel at a disavantage.

It was a great game to spend time on and I do not regret it. The characters were quirky and fun, the combat was fun, and could probably be made harder if you upped the dificulty (I did not). The main story was pretty bland, but not bad, but the individual stories happening brought a different pace to the game. The DLC felt a but out of place, with a different theme from the main game, but as a standalone, they work very well and introduce new mechanincs with the new characters.

Probably one of the most fun games I have played this year, and while it did not have any new mechanics introduced in the game, all the mechanics were part of the story and the world. I really like the story, and the characters, which were very flawed in a human way, no one was just good, or just a bad person. I only wish the game had a way to be more sandbox, where it was harder to keep alive and to build things. Or a new DLC of a crew coming back there to colonize the world.

What a fun and great add to the Hades games, the 1st game was my first time playing anything rougelite, and this one confirmed to me that I should play more of them. The visuals created by Supergiant Games are again incredible, with many great smooth animations, the story is incredible and I liked every characters even those I hated and that I will never give them any nectar. The combat as a lot of variety to it between the different weapons and their "states", even though some of them weapon require you to be a much better player than I am. The contols are on point and I never felt that I was fighting the controls.
