A game that surprised me tremendously. I wasn't familiar with Granblue aside from a couple of characters. But after seeing the trailer, I became curious and bought it. I'm glad I did.

The combat's fun and responsive (aside from a slightly annoying lock-on system which you do get used to), and the story kept making me want to see what happens next. I just got past the final chapter and I'm on the post-game material. Graphics are beautiful, and the game runs reasonably well on the Steam Deck (kept switching between that and my main PC.)

Id and Rolan are two of the best characters in the game. Props to them.

This is coming from someone who previously played NieR: Automata.

Replicant's remaster is probably one of the best ever made. The original NieR had rather muddy and low-res graphics for 2010, but this remaster's improvements, technologically and artistically, are phenomenal.

Without digging too much into visuals, the combat is tight and responsive. Easy to learn, too.

The story starts out quite slowly, being a lot of fetch quests. However, it really picks up as you play through it and turns into an extremely emotional tale of sacrifice and loss. I've beaten Ending A and B and am currently working on the others.

If you liked Automata, I think you'll like Replicant. You'll see a ton of parallels between both games.

I honestly don't care what anybody says. Despite the reduction in actual fear in the game and other criticisms, Resident Evil 5 is still a brilliant game and one I would heavily recommend for fans of Resident Evil, especially fans of 4. The graphics were incredible for 2009 and still hold up nicely today. Capcom really stepped up their game after the very mediocre port of Resident Evil 4 that was released in 2007. It not only runs extremely well, but the controls have been fine-tuned for PC controls, either allowing you to mouse look like a standard PC shooter, or with a cursor like Resident Evil 4 for the Wii.

It's nice to see there still being people who play this game after nearly ten years. Yes, the game does have problems. The AI is incredibly dumb at times and the Professional difficulty is utterly insane. One hit from almost everything sends you into "DYING" mode and you only get like three seconds to be resustitated. It is best suited for multiplayer co-op.

The game itself was a blast to play and honestly one of my favourite games of all time, and my second favourite Resident Evil (after Resident Evil 4).

The game is quite fun and runs fairly. But there is noticable stutter. This was run on a GTX 780 and i5-4460, and I'm running the game at max settings. Hopefully Treyarch should fix these problems for the final release.
