If you have played the main Robocop game and you enjoyed it, you'll definitely enjoy this one too. Although I have quite a mixed sentiment about the game, but if you can get it on sale it's easily an easy buy for me. The game follows the story after the previous Robocop game. It's a standalone expansion but it's definitely better if you played the previous game first.

First and foremost, the combat is still as fun as ever. Becoming a virtually indestructible and unstoppable force against the enemies never gets old. I think a single player FPS game like this is quite a rare breed nowadays and this game helps on scratching that itch.

On the later part of the game, I also got reminded that this game have a really nice soundtrack.

Unfortunately, this game has its own flaws. Despite the game is set on an apartment complex (reminding me of Dredd), rather than an open area like the previous game, the performance is shockingly poor compared to the previous game. While for the most part the game is running well, you'll ultimately remembered that this game is based on Unreal Engine 5 and it brings the curse alongside it, i.e. the micro stutters and inconsistency throughout the game, albeit looking pretty at the same time.

Interestingly, it was not the biggest flaw for me. It's the sound mixing instead. I don't know what happened under the hood, but this game sound mixing is all over the place. Sometimes you get sounds that has low volume, then in the next scene you get loud music and noise blasting.

Will all those complaints though, it's still a good game and it doesn't deterred me from enjoying the game. I think the most interesting part of the game is when they give you a flashback story of some people and you are playing those levels from their perspective. There are level where you are put into some uncomfortable situation and you actually feel the anxiety, there are level where you are feeling vulnerable, etc. I am glad that they managed to convey the message well and make you feel something.

This game is such a fresh take on DW franchise. By adding an original character I do understand it will make the game stray even further from historical storytelling and add more fantasy to it, but for the formula they are making in this game I think it works quite well.

The gameplay is like mixing hack and slash with ARPG aspect. They took what they learned from DW9 and make the polished version for Origins. From what I've experienced, from start to finish I had fun and enjoyed all the levels. The utilization of Tactics is also quite nice and can be a game changer for some tougher battles.

There are character models changes that I really like and there might be few that I am not a big fan of, but for the most part they are looking good.

And of course, it's not Dynasty Warriors if the game doesn't have good music. I really like the OSTs. The soothing classical Chinese instrumental, the rock battle theme, and the rearrangement of old DW music.

My issue with the game is, with this formula there are only so much they can do to keep the game's novelty, and somehow I feel like the post-endgame part has "content for the sake of content" issue. The game became too grindy, and you have to do stuff repetitively. Repetitive is fine, but repetitively grindy isn't, especially since the game is designed to be an offline single player game, and I never really like when the game designed to be like this. I believe there are more creative ways to make the post-endgame more enjoyable.

I am not a big racing gamer but this game truly hits different.

Back then I played FH4 and I never really got into it. There's just something lacking for me. But now that I tried FH6, even though the game is fundamentally a similar game only with different settings, it really hooked me.

I think one of the biggest part of it is the setting of Japan. I feel they really nailed the feel for the most part. It felt like a pilgrimage for a lot of people who are familiar with Initial D. The map is not overly huge with a lot of nothing as in FH4. It is more jam packed with activities and off-roads. There's almost no wasted space for the most part. This would be a game where the art team should be proud of because it's mostly because of them that the old formula of FH game truly shines in this game world.

Gameplay wise it's mostly the same as previous FH as far as I know, but now that I am playing this game quite extensively I started to understand and appreciate how the driving itself feels. I think FH did a good job on striking a good balance between arcade feel and simulation feel. It's definitely not as arcade as NFS, but definitely not as simulation as Gran Turismo. It can be challenging, it can be fun, and it definitely can be both. You can literally have fun and spend a lot of time just driving around in this amazing world they have built.

My only complain is it's not performing amazingly on AMD GPU and Linux. With AMD GPU I noticed a few frame dips here and there, and it is worse if you use ray tracing. While on Linux there are just some issues such as some audio channels not working, sometimes you can hear music but not conversations and car sound.

I am enjoying it a lot. Probably one of the most enjoyable experience playing a racing game ever since the old Need for Speed era circa 2004. Truly recommended. You should give it a try.

Finally got around to playing this game. I played the first Blasphemous quite some time ago and I really enjoyed it, but this sequel definitely did what the first did and make it better.

I really like that they are not trying to cater to "hardcore" players. A lot of games that are known for their difficulties would usually try making their subsequent games even harder and challenging at the expense of fun, aka they are making it hard for the sake of being hard. But this game gives you a challenging game while also strikes a good balance between being hard and being doable, hence successfully incentivizing even casual player to beat it. There are also few QoL over the first game such as removing the insta-death instance when you fall on a trap.

Meanwhile, the visual style, music, and voice acting is still as peak as I remembered. I really like the theme of this surreal world where everything feels dark, dystopian, and it touches upon mortality, humanity, and disturbing holy entities.

All in all, very solid game.

Fantastic game. Back when RE4 was released it was probably one of my favorite game and I considered it to be the best RE game of all time. Now that Resident Evil 4 Remake is a thing, it yet again became one of my favorite game and I considered it to be the best RE game of all time.

I am amazed how they successfully remade the game mostly the same as the original, while also redesigning some levels to be better, modernized the controls, and delivered the most definitive experience you can get for RE4.

The core design of the game remain unchanged, but the implementation makes it very fresh and new even for players who have played RE4 probably for dozens of hours. The AI are also definitely improved. One of the most annoying mechanic from the original RE4 has been revamped and now it is not an annoyance anymore (if you know, you know, and I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't played the game yet).

Modernized controls makes Leon to be more versatile, not anymore a tower defense character when you have to aim and shoot, while also adding new challenges and dynamics because as Leon improves, so do the enemies.

The gameplay feels satisfying. Guns feel very punchy and heavy. Enemies are unrelenting. It proves to be a great experience and it adds learning curve for every players who play the game.

RE4 Remake is a masterful blend of survival action horror game, and probably one of, if not, the best Resident Evil game to date.
