Parham Aghakhani's Reviews

A very short-fused and strict reviewer with a tendency to run into all sorts of bugs and issues while playing video games. Favors indie and retro games to AAA experiences.
Dec 8, 2018

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is not a bad game; It's fast, fluid and entertaining. But in the end, enjoying it depends on players' taste. If this is your first time trying a fighting game or you don't want complex mechanics, then you will have a lot of fun. But if you prefer technical controls and the same amount of content and quality that was available in the past BlazBlue titles, you will be utterly disappointed.

9.5 / 10.0 - GRIS
Dec 20, 2018

GRIS is a mind-blowingly fantastic combination of art and video games. It doesn't have lots of gameplay time; but in return, and through its incredible combination of visuals, music, and storytelling, it features one of the most beautiful, memorable, and emotional experiences ever delivered in a video game

Even with some issues like improper graphical options on the PC version of this remaster, XXL 2 is still an enjoyable experience for the fans of the original game. However, because most of the game's mechanics and features have not aged well, it will most likely not appeal to new audiences

Gameplay-wise, Override a very entertaining game; especially when it comes to local multiplayer matches. But unfortunately and because of some issues like the lack of content, it cannot convince players to keep playing for a long time

8 / 10.0 - Rival Megagun
Jan 27, 2019

Rival Megagun takes the old and mostly forgotten "Versus Shoot'em Up" genre, adds a lot of unique ideas to it, and the end result is a game that is not only accessible for newcomers, but also challenging for veterans at the same time. It's not flawless, but none of those flaws can decrease the amount of fun you can have by playing it.

The Hong Kong Massacre is another example of how a game's flaws can hold it back, not allowing it to become what it could have been. The game is really fun at its core, but problems like limited gameplay and severe performance issues (on the PC version) have dragged down the overall experience.

8.5 / 10.0 - Pikuniku
Feb 13, 2019

Pikuniku is a short & sweet experience that never takes itself seriously. The game is super fun and cheerful thanks to its gorgeous appearance, well-composed music tracks, delightful gameplay and good sense of humor. However, its short length might leave you wanting more.

4 / 10.0 - JUMP FORCE
Feb 21, 2019

After playing JUMP FORCE, I can't shake the feeling that it looks unfinished and/or rushed. At first, it looks fun and the problems look forgivable; but the more you dig deep into it, the more you can see how severely flawed it is. JUMP FORCE is unpolished, unimpressive, repetitive and definitely not a good game to celebrate Weekly Shonen Jump's 50th anniversary with it.

9 / 10.0 - Yakuza Kiwami
Mar 13, 2019

Yakuza Kiwami is a fantastic remake of the original PS2 game. It improves & expands Yakuza 1 to create an experience that is new & fresh for new audiences, while being familiar & nostalgic for the old fans at the same time. Being a faithful remake, Kiwami is not as good as the newer Yakuza titles and seems a bit outdated in some spots; but just like all the games in the franchise, is a blast from start to finish.

7.5 / 10.0 - APE OUT
Apr 1, 2019

Ape Out is a fantastic audiovisual experience with a gameplay which is easy to pick up and also enjoyable. However, while its length is perfect for a single playthrough, it doesn't offer much to encourage playing more. And the randomness, while offering a fresh & unique experience on each playthrough, sometimes paves the way for unfair situations & deaths

One Finger Death Punch 2 is a massive upgrade compared to OFDP 1 and a worthy sequel with better graphics, animations & music tracks, and much more game modes & hidden extras. The game is very fun to play and its sole big problem is that some people won't appreciate the new brawler system

6.3 / 10.0 - Mortal Kombat 11
May 1, 2019

Mortal Kombat 11 is a great fighting game ruined by excessive amounts of grinding and also the bad quality of the PC port. The game itself is masterfully made & very fun to play, but the grind & the always-online requirement have dragged down the overall experience so much that they have drastically decreased its value

When considered as a separate and new title on its own, Team Sonic Racing is a really fun game with well-thought team mechanics; despite having some problems. But when compared to previous Sumo Digital racers, it does not have the same amount of charm and polish those games had. Therefore, those who play this game expecting it to be another All-Stars racing will be disappointed

8 / 10.0 - 198X
Jun 27, 2019

198X is a title that oozes with love, care and personality and delivers an experience which many of us can relate to its story. But as I said, that's if we look at it as an experience. Because when we look at it as a game, we can see its flaws and lacks which make it hard for many people to justify purchasing and playing it. If you're after a short, unique and quite relatable experience about video games, you'll most likely going to like this game. But if you're only after gameplay or want a comprehensive story, you won't be pleased with 198X

9 / 10.0 - My Friend Pedro
Jun 28, 2019

While My Friend Pedro might be short or lacking for some users, no one can deny its limitless excitement and how much fun it is to play. If you're tired of all the current realistic & serious shooters and just want to have some fun, My Friend Pedro is the best option

4 / 10.0 - Omen of Sorrow
Jun 29, 2019

While the developers have done their best, Omen of Sorrow is still a disappointing game. Not only many parts of the game are lacking which has resulted in it looking unfinished and lackluster, but even the combat is not fun and fails to entertain the players. And the situation gets even worse when we take the PC version's deficiencies and irritating performance issues into account

Steel Sword Story is yet another example of how a game's flaws and issues can hold it back and forbid it to become what it could have been. Despite being really easy, the game is still a decent 2D platformer game. But the performance issues are so severe that progression has become a real hassle, and the gameplay is so short and simple that there's almost no reason to go back to it again

8 / 10.0 - Blazing Chrome
Jul 16, 2019

Despite some issues, Blazing Chrome can be considered as a true spiritual to Contra Hard Corps. If you're a Contra fan, you'll find most of the things you wanted in a Contra title in this game as well and will be quite pleased with what you'll get. But the rest of players and especially those who are inexperienced in the Run 'n Gun genre might have issues with the game's difficulty and the amount of available content

Is Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night a really good game? Despite having some issues, it certainly is and will absolutely satisfy nearly every old and new player. But is it as fresh and captivating as Symphony of the Night? Sadly, it's not. It just reintroduces features we've seen in the past and perfects most of them, and adds not much of its own to the formula. RotN is a fantastic game that just lacks new & innovative ideas, and a solid foundation for possible future installments to build upon and create groundbreaking titles

Unfortunately, KILL la KILL -IF is a game that could have been great, but its issues have prevented it from happening. The game can satisfy KILL la KILL fans with its dazzling graphics and faithful take on the story. But it fails to capture the attention of players who are not familiar with the source material. This, coupled with a flawed camera system, a small amount of available content, and some questionable design choices such as locking nearly everything behind story mode completion, sadly makes for a mediocre title
