metaphor refantazio might be my game of the year.

i know it's weird to start a review like that and it's true but everything this game tries to achieve is present here,it has banger of a OST, something that stays loyal to the premise, a grand journey about the fight between leaders and kings and the soundtrack really nails the vibe of such situation.

this game story might not only be the best part of it but also might be the best part of any atlus game ever made especially the main cast and especially two major parts of it
-this main villain is the best one atlus has ever written louis guiabern really stood out as a unique well written idealist who gave a knockout perfomence, most of quotable line in this game come from him and all and all he is really up there with other villains like vass and arkham joker just for examples.
-the main group of heroes (all but galica who is annoying and i don't like) are also written quite well,their chemistry is so well made,that by the time you get back to the capital from the beginning this group becomes a family and the runner becomes a home,speaking of which.

the traversing system is like anything iv'e ever experienced,most of the game is in the runner and it's such a vibe just to take your time on the runner talking to your friends while you are on the ride to a dungeon that is 3 days long,cooking something for a quest or just improving your stats by doing your own stuff,the journeys on the runner are one of the thing that makes this game special.

the gameplay is much more closer to persona than it's close to shin migami tensei which is a good thing beacuse the gameplay in the main series is not flashed out enough anyways and only takes some parts of it that are important to twick the gameplay a bit,i'm glad that it took the persona route of approaching this game and it's combat,smt v gameplay was not for me and it's also the reason i dropped that game and i'm just happy this game surprised me on that front.

i only have two problems with achievements and the steam deck performence side of thing,first there's a chance some achievements will not show up even after doing the tasks,there are some achievements i only unlocked on my 2nd and 3rd saves even tho i already did the task before hand on my first playthrough,it i mimor bug but for people like me who play this game in intent to fully get all the achievements this needs to be fixed,also the steam deck port is.... playble,it needs a few twicks to really run like persona 3 reload and p5 royal,and there might already be a patch on the way so i don't mind waiting if the game is already fine on deck.

overall i loved metaphor,it joins the line of peak atlus games like persona 3 reload and perosna 5 royal as a true masterpiece,and a game that i will not be surprised if it wins a goty prize

god of war ragnarok is one of few in it's kind,a phenomenal game,one of the best games that came out in 2022 and this new generation hell it might be the best game that came out that year(elden ring and everything included).

so it's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sad and pathetic to see this game on "mixed" reviews on steam and getting slammed for a thing that is completely optional,and it's not that the game runs bad,actually it runs better than most games that are coming out and are getting praised(space marine 2,dragons dogma 2 extc) now we had the exact same situation 4 months ago with ghost of tsushima on pc and in that game it might have been worse because it actually locked part of the content behind psn account sign ins but here the game and the valhalla dlc are both free for you to play without a psn account and it is an option that will only show to you at the very bottom of the manu,they also give you the option the lock them out of your information a thing that baffles me even more,now i'm 100% sure about the fact that no matter what y'all gonna complain about something,bunch of whiners.

now to get that out of the way if you are reading this review you can already guess i played this game and platinum'ed it on a ps5 before and if you witnessed what i said eariler in this review you can already guess why,god of war ragnarok is the definition of a perfect sequel,every major complaint from god of war 2018 was adreassed here and was also expended upon(mostly by terms of gameplay and enemy verity),just like the last game they tell an amazing story with characters and moments that are still stuck with me even 2 years after release while also giving a satisfying conclusion to the norse saga and kretos character arc,you can't really ask for more with this it feels like two games in one(three if the DLC counts).

yep god of war ragnarok is a phenomenal game and a perfect sequel,and it's so sad and pathetic to see such a great package getting such an awful amount of dissrespect from sweat and whiners.

i wanted to 100% this game before i review it and i am really glad i did because i had an absolute blast with it

this is an amazing game that completely shattered my expectations,if you think this is a souls like then you are halfy mistaken,it has soulslike elements in this game but it's more like the first third of it,this game feels like if we took the setting and the premise of god of war 3,mixing it with gameplay elements of god of war 2018 and then make the fights about 3.5 times harder than that game,so yes it's really pushing the bounds on the whole soulslike argument so the awnser is just somewhere between the lines (similar to games like ninja giden 2 sigma and the more advenced levels of difficulty of dmc3 for example).

this game is also not a version of the journey to the west novel like many expected it to be,it's a continuation for the most popular character,so it would be better if you have any knowledge about what happened before(bc go read journey to the west).

with all of that out of the way,if they somehow will manage to ♥♥♥♥ up the many releases of october this very might be game of the year for me,this game manages to tell an amazing about rebirth and in legacy inheritance all while also delivering on a very fun boss rush baffe experience.

i had 3 playthroughs and got the secret ending in all of them(the canon and also the better ending out of the two)mainly because it lead to the secret and best boss fight in the game,erlang shen and the four havenly kings,this fight feels like something that jumped out of sekiro and made it to this game,the first part of the fight that is against erlang actually feels like a clash between gods and the second stage against the four heavenly kings feels like and all out brawl/massacre of gods,it's one of the best boss fights i've ever played it was a blast.

the only problem i find in this game now is not the game itself,it's the state of it on pc,performance is not great at all and you already kinda need a monster nasa pc to even run it, and it's not because it's a very demanding game like crysis was back in the day but because the game just needed more time back in the oven to iron out the bugs and performence issues,the last time i talked about this was in my dead space remake review when it came out last year and already a few weeks after that game released they released patches that fixed it, so i hope game science can do this too even if they are not under a big studio umbrella of money like EA.

I loved my time with black myth wokung,the story,the gameplay,the boss fights and i didn't even get to talk about the music tracks,this is almost a masterpiece due to the performence issues i stated eralier and some of the very few boss fights in the game with very bad game design(supreme inspector).

screw this.

i have a rtx 4070 super and a rayzen 7 5800x,i am way beyond pc requirements,than why on god's name this game crashes on the opening cutscene(even on low settings by the way),this is unacceptable to release this for 70$,and apparently i'm not the only one with the issue,i wanted to play this game with two of my friends and only one of us three managed to actually play it,and people already started the talk about the perfomence on reddit and upload their guide on trying to fix it on youtube,for me it's even worse than cyberpunk becasue at least than i could play the game even for a little while,until this is fixed i'm gonna refund this,it's also was my first warhammer release which makes it even more disappointing.

Story is weak, suffers massively from main character syndrome.
There wasn't a character i found interesting(no one but sabastian and ominis)
Combat felt way too simple, more button mashing than actual skill.
The exploration was fun although it never lead to any interesting game play.
And ffs, its set in a school and yet bully; a game from 15 years ago, pull of a school system FAR better than this POS game,also the world is big in size and size only,besides this it's kinda empty and has nothing to aim for(oh look another piece of cloth that is weaker from what i already have,such a rewarding exploration) even assasin creed valhalla had some sort of progression behind 300 hours of gameplay mainly beacuse you had something to aim for(you can get all the cool things either from the main storyline or sabastian storyline,that really it),speaking about the latter sabastian swallow storyline was like the only good thing that came out of all of this grind of a game(it's and rng the worst kind of rpg)it's was this tragic tale of sabastian trying to heal his sister by using the dark arts, it ended up on a very dark note and had a mix of very complex and brilliant writing,it felt like a different game completely,this game is bc the harry potter in the ubisoft formula altho if you really want to get the harry potter experience we all wished for this is the closest as we get so i do kind of understand the love this game gets

for me tho as a guy that only watched the films and thought they were only somewhat good,
for me this is the most 5-6\10 game i've ever played.

always crashes i have 4070 super and rayzen 7 by the way

Amnesia the bunker is an amazing concept brought to life by an amazing exaction,the entire game is an cat and mouse chase where you are given a limited amount of items and options and throwing the player to learn on is own and adapt to the situation,the monster ai is exactly what you expect it to be and sometimes even learns from the player which make everything more scary,this game is also on the level of resident evil by terms of replayability and few playtroughs are also recommended but for the love of god as a guy who just finished it stay away from the hardest difficulty it turn everything one step way to much(to the point of being total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) the monster shows up almost all the time,always knows where you are(even when you are in a good hiding spots)and when you actually die it's permadeath beacuse the difficulty is bc ultra nightmare again and shooting the monster is also never an option beacuse ammo is very limited in that diffculty to the point it will not be worth it beacuse you know the monster will show of again 5-6 min later this time when you have no ammo and now will instantly run to you and kill you it's very much depands on how much of and master french ninja you are or just sheer amount of luck which makes playtrough's on that diffculty already feel like a broken pachinko machine you found in the middle of shibuya also the tunnles section is so underwhelming(the enemy is not the monster but a blind french man with a shotgun and it takes one bullet to take him down which makes this section the new safe place from the monster after the what happens to the safe room) it's bc takes away the one thing that made this game so good,the fact that it was a nonstop chase and without this it's bc the dark decent with a gun which is kinda old already to do the foruth time but despite those two problems i think my time with this game was not wasted and yes i had good time and i recommend this beacuse it is a top notch survival horror game that stands tall with the rest of the best ones in the ganre.

wow this game really died fast...

8\10 i liked what they did here.

as a guy who has over 150 hours over hades 1 and got all the achievements for that game,this is so far a very disappointing sequel for me,idk maybe this wasn't the targeted audience from the first place and maybe it is just not for me,in my opinion it's a step in the wrong direction.
