The best co-op game to know if you're in sync with your friend, a real test of friendship and cooperation to progress through the whole game, fitting so well with the split screen love letter of couch coop. The writing is actually really good, anyone who's gone through trauma can relate to what the characters are going through despite their personalities being a little on the nose at the start. It's a real human feeling kind of story that only someone that suffered hardship can understand. Full of Empathy and some really enjoyable moments. The Witches sidequest was great and we had a ton of fun. Really glad to have played this with my friend with the Friend's pass for free.

Honestly, for the discount it was this game was awesome. The ending really dropped the ball but for the hell this game went through they did an amazing job with what they had, the interactions with the elements are super fun, the buildcrafting is great, its a really honest diablo in a modern setting with characters that actually grew a lot on me.

Extremely enjoyable Telltale Game in an enviroment where clearly they could work the vision of this kind of game in a healthy workspace, showing that the true potential and hunger for this type of game is still around. Really enjoyable characters and surprisingly great management gameplay diceroll mechanics. A perfect blend of juuust enough game to make the Show that is the backbone of the game have enough interaction for you to get invested in who you send out and the outcomes of the story.

I'm really excited if this marks a new boom of this kind of game, if we ever get a Dispatch 2 I hope we get a little more involved gameplay when we're in the Mecha Man suit.

ps:

Charlie famous actor from the hunger games did great and I kinda wish I was luckier with my dicerolls, excited to replay the game on his route next time.

I don't know why but this game didn't keep me as hooked as the first game. For some reason too they undermine Peter way too much along the story.

Webswinging is pretty fun as always, but for some reason whenever i use the highspeed winds I feel like i'm playing superman 64 instead of spiderman. The first game was just so fun to swing around new york, on this one I enjoy it still but I can't quite put into words why the game hasn't hooked me as much. Maybe its the time of my life that i'm in right now, when the first game came out it was at the exact time where I could just enjoy a game like this.

Combat feels pretty good still, but I feel like the more arkham combat of the first game was more fun? the super powers of this game end up making me play cooldown management instead of styling on my enemies with the kit.

Story was fun, but i felt the pacing not keeping up after the kraven arc.

A really enjoyable Vampire game, a bad sequel to Bloodlines...

I am incredibly torn with this game, it does so many things right, the story kept me interested all the way through, the combat feels really awesome despite the way the weapons were put back into the game with the bioshock telekinesis, it frankly is a great deconstruction of the original's premise too, what if a Elder was back in town, but you're the elder? My biggest gripe is that they didn't work more facial features for phyre. if they wanted to keep a certain look for the character they could've easily kept the same story structure without sacrificing a crucial roleplay investment for the player. It worked for cyberpunk so I don't know why they didn't give char creation a chance on this game, regardless, I love how this game converts the vampire craving into gameplay with you trying to regain your powers, I was actively hunting for the specific blood types to get the kit I wanted to use, I successfully became Dio throwing Knives in Timestop, Tremere is still as awesome as ever, and overall the gameplay just felt really solid (other than how clunky the parry was)

Performance is sadly the Unreal 5 classic, Hitches galore and having to patch the game with mods. I am frankly shocked that every single unreal game I've played this year had one problem or another with performance. The most stable one being expedition 33.

TL;DR

If you love Vampire the Masquerade, you will eat very very good with this game. It's a miracle it came out, and despite its flaws its a really enjoyable game, but I would buy it on a sale if I wasn't so curious to see for myself what it was gonna be about. Loved how they implemented Malkavian into this game.

The gold standard for soulslike shooters with buildcraftings galore, probably my favourite game of 2024, I loved playing it and discovering its secrets. wish it had a banger sale so i could finally get my friends to give it a chance. Losomn is probably one of my favourite worlds in any videogame, and the only thing tarnishing it is how the main character and the humans in general have really weak dialogue in comparison to the rest of the strengths of the game.

This game made me wonder and enjoy hunting down the guns and showed me so much about how to hide secrets in your game and make the players savor the game loop.

I recommend this game to anyone that enjoys buildcrafting in games like Destiny 2 or Diablo, you'll eat really well in this meal.

A real special game with one of the funniest trailers i've ever seen, Louis is a game about the life of a worm trying to survive life itself, with survival on the line, dodge saws bites, bugs, and face down a boss in one of the funniest sequences i've ever seen for a first boss, I still suck at this kind of game but I look forward to firing this game every now and then, there's a bunch of costumes for louis so facing the levels ahead become funnier facing the gameplay with a fully dripped out Louis.

Funny game, give it a shot

After years of being confined to the 360 and PS3 I can finally play this game, and It was actually kinda funny, in that suda51 kinda way and the james gunn humor did a great job at adding some enjoyable back and forth between Juliet and Nick along the way. Gameplay is kinda jank but there's some fun stuff you can do with juliet's combos, the sparkling hunt thing gets old real quick, but thankfully the game is short and sweet.

Really good visual novel with gorgeous pixel art. Reminded a bit of Ace attorney in space sometimes. Short and Sweet, makes me wanna see all the different dialog I missed.

strongly recommend if you enjoy the gundam aesthetic.

The game is now fixed, and in a pretty good performance state, I have a pretty ok rig so maybe i'm not the best to talk about performance, but thankfully i didn't let all the talk about the performance deter me from one of my favourite games from the star wars series, this one is just an amazing game expanding on what they built with fallen order. The Sekiro Inspiration is also my kinda jam. Parrying blaster shots, using my blaster to parry enemies, its just too good, super fun game loop with the metroid vania esque map too. I wasnt planning on doing all the things but I just felt so compelled to check out the map and pick up fashion stuff around. Super fun traversal. I needed my prince of persia climbing fix and this game gave me that in spades. If you're a clone wars fan you should absolutely play this series of games.
