Another great Final Fantasy game

Fun game, great concept. I highly recommend this game if you like simple puzzles with a good challenge. However, although the game is cheap, I don't know if $3.99 is a good price tag. This game is pretty rudimentary and I think it's a little high, but it's still a really cheap game and that argument is a nit-picky. I don't regret my purchase in the slightest.

Lots of fun to play. Great world and gameplay. Story is pretty decent too (nothing super exciting but it's short and interesting enough to not need to skip through).

I don't know how this game has positive reviews. Seriously. Me and my wife were playing through all the mainline games in order until now. We finished Leon and half of Chris' chapter and we just have to skip the rest. It's not that it's a bad RE game (which is absolutely is), it's just a bad game in general. The awkwardly timed QTEs, the non-stop cutscenes followed by 2 steps followed by more cutscenes, the over-the-top set pieces that make absolutely no sense. The dialogue and story are just straight up non-sense. Don't buy this game unless you hate yourself because nothing about this game is actually fun. I don't know if people are just blinded by nostalgia glasses or what but this game sucks SUPER bad.

Aside from this probably being the worst Resident Evil (I haven't played 6 yet), this is just an all around terrible game. Seriously play it on the easiest difficulty and run through quickly if you just want the RE lore. Or better yet, just watch a Youtube playthrough. Or just the cutscenes. Or a recap. Nothing really important happens and everything feels awful.

Really enjoying this game. The campaign mode is a great way to explore all the music and unlock more. If you like rhythm games, this is a real good one. The timing doesn't feel the best on most songs and the game can take a little getting used, but once you get it, it is a real fun time.

Biggest complaint (like some others on here) is that the music has trouble fitting a theme. Guitar Hero has you playing mostly rock and some metal. DDR had you playing fast-based electronic music. This game can be a little all over. The modern electronic pop music fits in really well with the games aesthetic and I really enjoy them. Then you get stuff like the Latin Power pack which feels so incredibly out of place that it is kinda cringe. The developers need to find their theme and stick with it.

That said I do hope we get more packs like the SPINNIN' bundle which has some of my favorite tracks to play in the game so far. I very much recommend this game.

While I was always aware of Resident Evil, I never played the series until this past year. I started from 1 and played all the current remakes/remasters up to this game. It is easily my second least favorite game (the original is the worst of all of them), however that is not necessarily bad. RE2 and 3 had a familiar atmosphere and 4 feels like an almost completely different franchise. Unless you are on harder difficulties, Leon is an absolute power trip to play. Most of the survival horror is gone and replaced with action.

Actually been playing this game since initial release. Is it the game for you is a question on taste and preference. In my personal opinion, this game respects your time and gives you plenty of things to do besides just hit stuff. As far as I can tell it's the most progressive MMORPG on the market without deviating into something altogether new (such as New World).

Easily the best of the Netherrealm Mortal Kombat games. The story has had some massive upgrades in writing and it shows. The new direction and redesign of the world and characters is a very welcome breath of fresh air in this old franchise. The sound direction is also superb.

A word on performance: it's fine. A lot of people on here seem to either not have the right equipment for a modern game (been seeing this with a lot of releases this year. It's not the developers fault you don't have a strong enough computer) or are upset that they can't run the game on the highest settings. Even on mid-range settings, this game is absolutely gorgeous. While some patches are very much needed, I'm not going to judge a game based on what will almost certainly be fixed in the near future (and isn't really that bad in the first place).

There is a lot to do here and while there is a cash shop, it's not really that big a deal. Spend some money or don't, it's really not required or pushed in your face.

The worst thing about this game is Megan Fox's absolutely sub-par voice acting. I mean it's super noticeable. After hearing hours of quality professional voice acting, Nitara sounds noticeably amateur. I really hope they replace her with someone. Or even AI (it would still be an improvement).

Larian has become the king of CRPG's. Divinity Original Sin 2 was already a masterpiece, but they took that game and expanded a hundred fold. The sheer amount of things you can do is absolutely ridiculous. The level design and story make you feel like the game was ready for you to do whatever insane thing you can think of. I have never played a game that actually made me feel like I had the freedom associated with playing a dungeons and dragons campaign until now.

This game is probably not for gamers who have a short attention span. It's not a block text mountain game, but it is a story game. The combat is amazingly fun, but the story is where all of the intrigue and pay off are.
