Poll of the Day > A short review of all the games I've beaten in 2017. Part 1

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like always this is a quick review of every game I've beaten this year. These were written will little to no proof reading so I'm sure they have plenty of typos among other mistakes. If you would like me to go into more detail on any one game I will gladly do that.


Gravity Rush Remastered (First time playing on PS4)- When I played it on vita, I liked it but I wasn’t blown away. The port job to PS4 was amazingly well done, and I liked it so much I got the Plat. The world and gameplay feel so much better on a TV, and performance was rock solid.

Root Letter(PS4)- Meh, I didn’t get the best ending yet but the terrible translation killed it kinda.
Among the Sleep(PS4)- A creative idea I feel fell short a little. It’s a decent game, but I didn’t love it.

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep: A Fragmentary Passage(PS4)- Kingdom hearts just needs to end, but I guess it was cool to get a taste of KH3 gameplay. The ending was cool. I don’t want to rate it but the movie attached to 2.8 was meh.

NIeR 1- I really liked, the story was interesting and while the soundtrack was great it could have benefited from a few more songs. Gameplay feel generic, but the different perspectives kept it fresh and unique. Ive played Automata but I haven’t beaten it yet.

Gravity Rush 2- I can’t tell if I like it more then the first, but technically it’s clearly more impressive. Regardless of which one I like more, it was still a fantastic game that I highly recommend. Play these two games.

Gravity Rush 2 Another Story: The Ark of Time – Raven’s Choice- Performance was awful, the final boss was a slide show. Minus that I enjoyed getting to play as Raven for real and her as a kid was AWWWWWWWWW.
FINAL FANTASY XV: EPISODE GLADIOLUS(PS4)- Was short but I enjoyed the gameplay differences to Noctis.

Horizon Zero Dawn- A nearly perfect game. Addicting, fast paced, amazing story, and a gorgeous game overall. I’ve already preordered the DLC and I can’t wait. It would have been my GOTY if it wasn’t for something Later.

Blackwood Crossing(PS4)- You walk a little slow and it could have used some more instructions on what exactly you need to do. Great story though, and I almost cried honestly. I’m not rating all of these but 8/10.

Guardians of the Galaxy a Telltale series Episode 1- Meh, and it doesn’t sound like episode 2 is much better.

Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom(PS4)- Honestly, for the kind of game it is its better then you expect. It is very repetitive but what it repeats is fun.

What Remains of Edith Finch(PS4)- My favorite story/walking simulator this year. I actually did cry during a few key segments, and the comic book section was amazing.

Persona 5(PS4)- HOLY S***! This is my first Persona game and it was literally magical. It might have been the first game to crack my top 10 of all time in a long time. It a had a few things I wasn’t crazy for, but they are so small it’s hard to complain about anything. I’ve already bought Persona 3 and I’m currently playing that. Also the soundtrack is literal god tier.

Dead Island-Definitive edition(PS4. Played Coop with 2 other people. I’ve also played it on 360.)- A glitchy mess but a fun glitchy mess I guess. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone but I wouldn’t call it a bad purchase either.
---

Dead Island: Ryder White DLC- (First time playing)- The story was actually pretty good, the gameplay is terrible. If you die all the ammo and resources you used up till death are still gone. Plus you can’t find any ammo and health packs you found along the way again. That is just terrible game design.

Bioshock 2(First time on PS4 but first time playing since original launch)- Better then I remember! I actually think the gameplay is better then 1 but it falls a little short everywhere else compared to 1. Still, a great game and worthy sequel to 1.

Bioshock 2 Minerva’s den(First time Playing on any system)- I can see why everyone likes it and I honestly didn’t see the twist coming. Thumbs up.

Battlefield 1 Multiplayer (Xbox one)- I beat the campaign last year, but I didn’t play MP till this year. I’m honestly not much of a MP kind of guy; I can take it or leave it. It’s pretty cool if you’re into that kinda thing then I’m sure you will like this. Controlling a giant blimp is pretty fun too.

Nice.

Which I had that much free time.

A lot of these games are short.(minus persona 5 that took me almost 125 hours) I have far from unlimited free time, but even in the case of P5 I played that for a little over a month.

Dead island I started with my friends last year even.
