Like most Arkane games, it presents an interesting idea mixed with a very whelming execution. It's fine, but it doesn't feel special - mostly forgettable and boring. Still, though, Arkane knows how to make a beautiful game.

I had the pleasure of trying this game out at Too Many Games 2024, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the devs that were there showing off this game. They're good folks that want nothing more than to provide a fun, positive experience to gamers, and most importantly, they seem to have an open ear to suggestions.

The game itself is a fun mix of Portal and The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom, though most folks will probably not remember the latter. The puzzles in this game are mind bending, similar to Portal, but with the time travelling self cloning aspects of PB Winterbottom. It requires a unique approach to gameplay that makes for a fun, unique experience.

It's definitely not an action packed experience, it's purely a matter of getting from point A to point B in the cleverest way you can manage, but that's what the devs were going for, so I can't take points away for that. I recommend!

Snood.

Please bring back English voice acting to the Warriors franchise. Please. This is such a good game, but it lacks the character of the older games. I know the voice acting was hokey, but it was fun. The story doesn't have to be well written or complex, no one is playing these games for the story. The fact that all the voice acting is in Japanese makes it harder to relate to the characters when you don't speak the language. It also causes issues with trying to read subtitles when playing the game, and that's never easy or fun to keep in balance - it's like texting while driving. Even though there were mispronunciations and I'm sure mistranslations, the hokey voice acting is part of what made these games so memorable. I don't mean this as a jab against the voice actors either - they are wonderful and I love them.

Other than that, this is one of the best Warriors titles available - especially on PC. I discovered this series with Dynasty Warriors 3, and this has a really good balance of what's good in the newer games as well as what really worked in the older ones. It's not anything terribly new to the franchise in terms of gameplay, but that's fine, it's a Warriors title. You know what you're here for, and it does it well.

Folks are going to complain about the pricing all day long, but I don't think $49.99 is a terrible price for how much content you get, and I'm not talking about the DLC with the skimpy costumes for you anime weirdos out there. There is enough content here for Warriors fans to justify the price in my opinion.

For anyone that doesn't like the Warriors titles, there is absolutely nothing here that will change your mind if you already don't like them. If anything this game embraces what the haters hate on, and I love it for that.

An irritating, frustrating exercise that is honestly not poorly made but shows Activision learns absolutely no lessons from their prior releases. This is an alright platformer that has all the same problems as previous non-Naughty Dog Crash sequels. The N. Sane Trilogy was likely only enjoyable because it was so close to the original games, but still had the trademark Activision problems with gameplay.

If you aren't all that familiar with Crash Bandicoot, you probably won't mind this game, but as an old fan of the franchise, I can't help but feel that this is a poor immitation.

One of the ugliest games I've ever played. The levels are essentially random geometry while really terrible butt rock and cry metal blasts into your ears. One of the worst gaming experiences I've ever had, and I can't recommend it for anyone that doesn't get off to Sonic rule 34 content. It's absolute drivel.

Story mode is unbearable. The characters and the music are just a mix of what makes New Jersey the worst place on the east coast. What an embarrassment.

It's Jet Grind Radio 3. I can't recommend it enough. The soundtrack alone is worth the purchase.

This is a very fun spiritual follow up to Road Rash, but progression is just a little bit too slow. Granted, the better you are at the game, the faster you will progress, but there are enough cheap deaths from the jank that it can make the experience overall quite repetitive and frustrating. It is fun, but I doubt most folks will see it through to the end.

It's boring. It's boring to look at and boring to play. It's cool that you move fast but ultimately the game is just boring. The enemies feel weak, the guns feel weak, it's just a weak experience, that is except for the music - which is amazing. But yeah, graphically impressive, but overall boring.
