GosuNoob's Reviews
Alan Wake 2 is a narrative and puzzle focused mix of great writing and solid survival horror action that toys with player's mind in a sublime and superior way.
I have mixed feelings about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The bad side of the amplitude is mostly related to some cast members and the predictable narrative. The game is a technical masterpiece and an exciting, functional sandbox. If you are looking forward to web the bad guys whilst paying less attention to the plot, this game could fill your soul coffers. If you also require a compelling narrative, you better be young and unfamiliar with the rich Spider-Man lore. Long-time fans have seen everything on offer here multiple times.
Lords of the Fallen (2023) is a competent soulsborne game with everything it needs to have to be considered an instant classic. Unfortunately, some very bad game design choices and execution of most basic game mechanics hampers the experience considerably.
Like almost every Paradox Game under the sun, you’ll do well if you wait for a couple of months’ worth of patches before committing to Star Trek: Infinite. There’s a solid game under the big pile of bugs, waiting to be properly enjoyed. I sincerely hope it will eventually emerge.
On one hand, the game is tight, focused and has that unmistakable classic feel people asked for after Valhalla. On the other, it feels derivative and stuck in the past.
If you have been holding out on CP2077, waiting for the promised fixes, now is the perfect time to play it. You don’t necessarily need Phantom Liberty to marvel at its greatness, but if you decide to get it, you’ll up the experience to extraordinary heights. In the superficial, filler DLC era, having something substantial like this is a beautiful anomaly.
In Lies of P, South Korean studio Neowiz Games managed to nail both the formula and the feeling of the From Software’s classic, creating one of the best Soulsbornes in recent history. Not only did they succeed in cloning the core of the Bloodborne experience, but they poured their own magic into the mold and cast something unique.
