Starfield
Yeahhhh... I'm calling it quits. Playtime's around 30 hours.
My main gripe is the sheer amount of meandering and tedious dialogue in this game. The gameplay and mission design basically revolves around the loop of talking and shooting. Therefore, the quests become highly repetitive. The usually pattern goes: Talk to this important person, ok they want something first, go get that thing, fight (the same) groups of bandits, now return.
I no longer feel bothered to explore the procedurally-generated planets, and the game's atmosphere feels cold and distant (when compared to something like, say, Skyrim.)
A shame, as Starfield started out so strong. Oh well.

Elden Ring
Definitely in my top 10 games list. Probably even top 5. No question.
In terms of world design, Elden Ring is to the fantasy setting what Red Dead 2 is to the Wild West. Both are beautifully realised, expansive yet in-depth simulators of their respective settings. Both share a richness and authenticity that is not often seen in this medium.
I'll cherish my memories of Elden Ring forever.

The Amazing Spiderman 2
75% complete
Better then expected, just like with the first Amazing Spiderman game.
The only thing that it has in common with the movie is a boss fight with Electro & another with Green Goblin.
Otherwise, Kraven, Kingpin & Carnage are there.
If you played the game, then watched the movie. You would be very disappointed lol.

Lost Judgement.
75 Hours Including School stories.
Great game, some inconsistent difficulty spikes but you can usually cheese them.
With all the DLC it really feels more like 1.5 games, so the storylines and pacing can get a bit muddled.
Def worth the price at the moment!
Now just going to tool around in the Kaito files

@Fantomex - Congrats on getting that far. Made 50 hours in Starfield for review purposes and enjoyed the opening campaign missions, United COlonies faction quests, and the Ryujin Industries cyberpunk-ish quests. But yeah, it's too much running back and forth without that awesome sense of exploring a new and continuous space like in The Elder Scrolls games. Reducing most of the main missions to hunting down identical temples on boring proc-gen worlds was a terrible choice.

Sniper Elite V2 Remaster
7hours 30mins
Still my fav Sniper game, besides the Zombie ones.
Prefer the more linier levels, also the kill cam is more satisfying.
The DLC is 4 challenge maps, one of them being assassinate Hitler. Which was very disappointing.
He runs from hiding spot, to hiding spot. Have to have the reflexes of Bullseye or Deadshot to snipe him on the move. Ended up sniping him in the foot, that was sticking out from behind cover lol

Terminator Resistance
Played on PS4, fantastic!!!!
Reviewers boomed this game, don't know why?
Takes place before the first movie in the future. Basically sets up the first 2 movies. Voice acting is not great, but gets the job done.
Its a loot & shoot, with some hacking & lock picking.
Each level has a decent size map, with side quests.
Game looks good, but will probably look better on new gen.
Zero bugs, runs smoothly.
Easy platinum as well.

@KF500 - loved it on the X360 and totally worth another remastered playthrough. I've seen the Duke Nukem DLC go cheaply several times so will give that a go one day. Would love to see a sequel but they've apparently botched the VR version of the first game, so no idea if it'll generate enough interest any more.

Steel rising. Yeah... Just rushed it towards the end. Around the midway point the game gets "side quests" which are really just irritating fetch quests. Go to hub, go back to town, go to hub, go back to town, but just the house next door. Pacing is just stupid and the bad story telling does not help. Pity really as the combat was actually fun. Feels like they ran out of money and just desperately tried to salvage things. At least the game was free

A LOT EASIER.
The two most powerfull weapons are given to you in the first stage (Nemesis claws - super fast with stagger and counterattacks and Charleville 1789 Shield Musket - Gun with freezing that can cheese 90% of bosses)
Apart from some dodgy hitboxes the combat is fun and fast.
I managed to finish it and some bosses could not touch me. Playing fast and staggering the enemies is way OP.

Tomb Raider II Remastered -
Aspyr seems up and down with the quality of remasters but the Tomb Raider trilogy is excellent - probably because they hired a modder who was overhauling them already. Not the best game in the series nor the best sequel (with all the gunfights against hit-scan enemies) but I still love its mix of actual tombs and weird, contrived man-made tombs. Next up TRIII, which was always a weird mix of great and awful levels.

I wasn't a fan of the more linear opening, but I did like the changes from the Hospital onwards. Like the RE2 remake, it'll never completely replace the originals, even if Capcom has done its best to pretend those never existed since (why have they not come to PS+ as emulated PS1 Classics for the PS4/5 like the first game did?).
And yeah, this should have been 1/2 to 2/3rds the price but they bundled it in with that 4-vs-1 RE Resistance multiplayer game that I'm assuming is long since dead.

It does feel a bit like a tech demo. "This is what it could look like with today's graphics!"
But the game is terribly short and just feels half finished, especially after RE 4 Remake.
The pacing between sequences is jarring, taking you from running for your life, to just chilling in a room after slamming a door. The monster can go through walls, but eh, let's take a break. When suddenly! Spiders! Which we never see again.
Guess they assume you know the story?

Still working through the side content after going back to an earlier save. Most optional hauntings are intriguing and flesh out Red and Antea's relationship, but I wish they'd designed it so you could clear an area and move on.
It had such an excellent sense of momentum and the feeling of being on an epic journey eastward, and then when you hit the mid-point (where you can go either north or south) it unlocks new hauntings and collectible events all over the map, and you start bouncing back and forth so often it ruins any sense of immersion.

Dying Light The Following
28hours 76% complete.
Played this on day 1, great game. Replaying the GOTYE, with the DLC.
The free running works so well, story is good, just the final boss fight is a QTE.
The Following DLC 14hours 40mins 89% complete.
No more free running across building rooftops, now you drive a buggy cross country. Map is good, but needs fast travel locations.
Trying to climb mountains & cliff ledges is super tough.
In the city its great, but they did not accommodate for the change of scenery.
Story is good, two endings, both bad endings though. At lest you get a decent boss fight in the one ending.

Had to go and check my own stats but forgot what compact open-world experience the first game and expansion offered. Been meaning to go back and replay them ever since finishing Dying Light 2 - which I felt drifted way too far into generic open-world design.
Harran felt so much like an actual place as you learned optimal routes and paths - especially when fleeing back to safety after dark. "The City" in the sequel has Ubisoft-style verticality, where there are so many traversal paths it might as well be flat for all the difference it makes.
The QTE battles were a sign of the times I guess, though at least the boss battle and infected Crane are presumably canon.

Saints Row 2022
89% complete.
Not the best open world game, but fun none the less.
Story is terrible. All the Saints Row stuff from previous games are gone, very toned down. But then its a reboot.
The map is quite nice, lots to do & see.
Very buggy, cars are floaty & gameplay overall in very last, last gen.
Not much thought or effort went into this game, no wonder Volition closed down.
