Poll of the Day > A short review of all the games I've beaten in 2017. Part 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

Some of you may remember my other topics similar to this one, but as always I will list the general guidelines about my reviews before posting them.

This reviews were wrote very fast, contain little to no proof reading, and are overall just my quick thoughts and if I think the game is worth playing. If you want me to go into more detail about any single game I would be more than happy to do so.

Please don't post till I'm finished and I hope you enjoy:

Gravity Rush Remastered (First time playing on PS4)- When I played it on vita, I liked it but I wasnt 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 didnt 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. Its a decent game, but I didnt 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 dont want to rate it but the movie attached to 2.8 was meh.

NIeR 1(PS3)- 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 havent beaten it yet.

Gravity Rush 2- I cant tell if I like it more then the first, but technically its 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 Ravens 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. Ive already preordered the DLC and I cant wait. It would have been my GOTY if it wasnt 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. Im not rating all of these but 8/10.

Guardians of the Galaxy a Telltale series Episode 1- Meh, and it doesnt 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 wasnt crazy for, but they are so small its hard to complain about anything. Ive already bought Persona 3 and Im currently playing that. Also the soundtrack is literal god tier.

Dead Island-Definitive edition(PS4. Played Coop with 2 other people. Ive also played it on 360.)- A glitchy mess but a fun glitchy mess I guess. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone but I wouldnt 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 cant 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 Minervas den(First time Playing on any system)- I can see why everyone likes it and I honestly didnt see the twist coming. Thumbs up.

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

Ratchet and Clank(2016)- Ive never played a Ratchet game before, but I picked this up for $8 on a sale and I really liked it. It was beautiful to look at, fun to play, and was just an overall cool game. The final boss was shit though.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice(PS4)- I bought this game cause I loved Heavenly sword, and Im still salty that we never got a sequel. This game clearly wont be for everyone but It was certainly for me. The atmosphere, the story, the sound design, or that goddamn chilling performance by the Senua. Even the gameplay grew on me as it went on, and by the end I really liked it. Would recommend.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy(PS4)- Clearly doesnt meet the high of 4, but I had a lot of fun with this title. If youre an Uncharted fan, youve probably already played it but if for some reason you havent, do that! 2>4>LL>>1>Golden Abyss> 3

Life is Strange: BTS Episode 1 and 2 (PS4)- Im a HUGE fan of the first game, and boy the first episode did not disappoint. The ending to episode 1 is one of the most memorable moments in all of gaming. Episode 2 didnt quite hit that high, but was still very good as well. (All the voice actors changing still sucks though)

Persona 4 Golden(Vita)- After playing the masterpiece that was P5, I needed another hit of the good stuff. Ill admit, 4 took a little longer to get its hooks in me, but once it did those 108 hours of my life flew by. I do think P5 was a better game, but 4 is so close it hardly matters.

Splatoon 1 Single player(Wii U)- With Splatoon 2 coming out, I realized I never beat the SP for the first game so I decided to do a quick run of that. Games fun, clearly dont buy this for the SP but its a fun bonus. Much like Ratchet though, the final boss sucks.

Tacoma(Xbox one)- The game when I played it was incredibly glitchy, the goddamn A button to start the game wouldnt work at first. Also the framerate was godawful in certain areas. Ignoring that as much as I can, the actual core of the game was a fun. I cant talk about much without spoiling, but Ill say I enjoy this games twist almost as much as Gone home's. Maybe more.

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto- WAAAAAAAY better than the first DLC episode. I really enjoyed the new gameplay twist, the atmosphere, and I love it even had sidequests. A little glitchy when I played it, but Im happy they improved so much since Gladdy.

I'm done now.

Good job beating all those games in a year. Nice write up!
---

My list is a lot shorter. Since I think I've only beat one game in the past year =x ...well, unless I finished Final Fantasy Explorers this year instead of last, at which point it'd be a whopping two games.

idk, I just don't game as much. I'll buy games when I find them on sale, clearance, etc, but I don't often feel like playing them.

Morning bump
---

I'm glad you liked Persona 5. I haven't played it yet, but I absolutely fell in love with P3 and P4. 4 is probably in my top 7 games all time
---

What Remains of Edith Finch is absolutely gutwrenching at parts. Brilliant game. Big fan of Giant Sparrow. Unfinished Swan got me right in the feels too, because spoilers.

Agreed, Edith Finch is better, but Unfinished Swan moved me specifically because I lost my mother at an early age and could relate.

I've maybe beaten like 3 games this year

Edit : well, I should say that I've only beaten 3 games for the first time this year

Forgot about Sonic mania. Games great 9/10.

I've played coop on PS4 and I'm about half way through the Switch version. Both versions run great.
---

Seems like you and I have similar tastes in games, so I'd like to recommend Hob. It's a fantastic Zelda-esque game.
---

Hob has been on my radar, no doubt I won't like it just waiting for a sale probably.
---

I platinumed both Gravity Rush games. Fantastic games. Also I have the physical remastered version of 1 which is apparently really rare.
---

I also have that.

I also have that.

Sweet. They are apparently worth like a couple hundred bucks

Final bump if no one posts.
