My The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt review

The positives

+Amazing main story with amazing characters
+Maybe the best side quests of any game ever, with the only real challenger being Cyberpunk 2077
+Amazing graphics, especially for a 2015 game
+Great artstyle
+Excellent atmosphere in every corner of the game, with some areas shining even brighter than others
+Fantastic and diverse world, ranging from muddy swamps to snowy mountains to countryside villages to southern vineyards to huge cities, with Novigrad being one of the best cities in any game ever
+Extremely varied enemies, with there being well over 100 different types of enemies including unique bosses, and there are not that many unique bosses
+All NPCs in the game are extremely well modeled with meticulously textured models, even all the unsignificant NPCs you can't even properly interact with
+The combat system is deep and interesting, with there being an abundance of tools at your disposal
+There are basically zero mindless quests in the game, with even the most irrelevant seeming quests including some form of depth. Even the treasure hunts, which are closest to mindless fetch quests this game has, are still leagues above most of Skyrim's fetch quests
+The dialogue is ALWAYS extremely well written and voice acted
+The animations are excellent, especially for a 2015 game. The facial animations are STILL some of the best the gaming industry has ever seen
+The game is fantastically detailed, with the game accounting for the most outlandish routes, quest orders, dialogue choices and whatever else
+Progression feels rewarding, with the player unlocking lots of new abilities throughout the game
+Arguably the best sound design of any game ever made, with the world sounding extremely immersive and believable
+Great and noticeably unique soundtrack
+The choices you make in the game actually matter, way more so than in most games. Even the smallest, seemingly irrelevant choices can impact the ending you get
+The game is extremely lengthy which is a great thing and at no point (apart from the Skellige collectibles) does it get repetitive
+The game contains the greatest minigame ever made in the form of Gwent
+By far the best DLCs of any game ever made

The negatives

-The movement is quite janky
-The horse riding sucks (although this is an issue in almost every game that has horses)
-Some of the hitboxes can suck
-Fighting big enemies can be pretty clunky
-A bit too much recycled character models
-Too many recycled voice actors
-The way money works isn't very good
-Most of the armor (apart from the Witcher sets) looks pretty ugly
-The ridiculous Skellige question mark collectibles, which make 100% playthroughs quite a chore
-The third act of the game is a bit too short when compared to the early & mid game
-The exploration could stand to be a bit more interesting
-Some quests are a bit bugged and a chore to complete due to the buggy nature of them
-Some quests and questlines are glaringly unfinished
-After the early game, all singular enemies (even bosses) start becoming extremely easy, even on the highest difficulty
-Performance in crowded areas such as Novigrad or Oxenfurt dips highly with the next-gen update
-Wayyyy too much crashing since the next-gen update
-Some of the changes to the narrative from the books are jarring, odd and don't make sense. Luckily there aren't a lot of these changes, but some of them really hurt the experience.


Score: 9.7/10

My Just Cause 3 review

The positives

+The graphics are pretty good
+Flying around with the rope launcher and jet pack is a great deal of fun
+There are many different and varied vehicles to choose from
+The over-the-top action which consists of blowing stuff up is very fun for the first few hours
+One the three major DLCs is good
+The wanted system is pretty good

The negatives

-The main story is brainless and uninteresting
-The characters aren't memorable
-The voice acting isn't AAA level
-Although the gameplay loop is fun at first, it gets very stale once you realize the entire game is only that
-The open world doesn't really have any proper side missions, just repetitive liberation activities
-The driving is pretty bad
-The entire world looks unvaried with basically every location looking almost identical. This holds especially true for the countryside
-The flying mechanics for planes are abhorrent for keyboard & mouse
-There isn't much in the way of customization
-The other two major DLCs are boring and/or annoying
-The movement while simply walking is subpar

Score: 6.0/10

My The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim review

The positives

+The best gaming world of any game ever, one that is also beautiful and feels alive
+Diverse builds
+Really replayable
+A ridiculous amount of content, although not all of it is very well made
+Fantastic mods
+The best gameplay mechanics of any game, ever
+Unbelievably good soundtrack
+Second best exploration of any game ever, only surpassed by Elden Ring
+Lots of diverse activities
+Excellent level design in some places, almost FromSoftware level
+Great progression
+Amazing atmosphere
+Very immersive
+Fantastic DLCs

The negatives

-Combat is very lacking and boring with almost all builds
-The main story is way too short
-Animations are very lacking, though that's more acceptable for a 2011 game
-The voice acting is mostly below average and the sheer amount of recycled voice actors only adds to this issue
-The game is still very buggy
-Too many mindless fetch quests
-Movement is pretty bad
-AI is absolute garbage
-The world feels too small and the cities feel underwhelming. The cities are small in size and there are too few inhabitants
-The shouts are not very interesting to use due to their cooldowns, which makes them bad rewards from exploration
-The money system doesn't work very well

Score: 9.2/10

I prefer Fortnite Battle Royale
