My first real Battlefield game. Lots of fun. Movement feels great without being broken like in COD. Even with open weapons, each class still has distinct roles and allows for greater variety of playstyles. Vehicle gameplay also feels fun and fairly balanced between the other vehicles and infantry (can't comment on aircraft gameplay though, haven't played them.

A step up in gameplay compared to the last main entry, but the overall story was a let down, especially after the masterpiece that was LAD: Gaiden. With that said, it was worth playing through thanks to the insane amount of interesting side content, including funny and heartwarming substories, diverse minigames, and entire side games emulating Animal Crossing and Pokemon, all of which kept me thoroughly entertained throughout the campaign. The entirely new open map in Hawaii, the first in the series outside of Japan, is a breath of fresh air for a series that usually sticks to reusing maps and assets from previous games. I love the party member chemistry in this game; most returning party members fit surprisingly well, and best of all is having Kiryu have so much more interactions with everyone.

Despite my misgivings about the story and some of the character writing in the game, this game is still heavily recommended for JRPG fans, Yakuza/Like a Dragon fans, and anyone looking to sink ~100 hours into the most unique JRPG franchise.

A must-play for anyone with a VR headset.

It was worth the wait.

As someone who doesn't have the mechanical skills to play a MOBA but still enjoy the complexity of the combinations of heroes and items, I really appreciate the emergence of the auto battler genre. Dota Underlords is well supported with weekly updates, some of which shake up the meta regularly. Also, the addition of the shorter knockout mode makes this my go-to mobile game.

Came for the interesting mechanics, stayed for the hilarious and charming characters. One of the only games I can truly call perfect.

I think I finished my first game and suddenly had hundreds of hours logged.
