Batman Arkham Asylum is an amazing game. This game is very fun and was satisfied when I finished it and it makes me want to replay the game. The interval between plays is about a few hours or a day and was definitely worth the money, I recommend this game. The plot is engaging and had a good plot. The characters and dialogue were well written with depth, and the gameplay was very similar and targeted towards the same market with the story. The gameplay is very linear but challenging and logical. the gameplay is integrated into the narrative and was fun. The graphics are outdated but still hold up but especially the tone it gives off. The graphics are detailed with realistic proportioned objects and characters to fit the realistic dark theme at night. The animation for everything is realistic and impressive, and the visuals of shadows are spectacular because of how dark it is with a good palette. The audio is very eerie matching the tone with mostly eerie music and creepy environmental sounds which was very appropriate causing a mood for the player. The game sounds aren't useful but gives a great effect on the gameplay and is very professional. The controls are basic but not customizable. There are not so many options for the game like audio but not graphics. The menu was user friendly, and the map is very useful including the hint system for puzzles. Violence and mild language might exclude players but has no grammar errors. The game does not have any technical errors but there's a moment in the game where it may look like it because the creators did it on purpose to throw off the gamer. I give this game 4 stars for how amazing it is but there is barely anything to do after you finish the game.
Grand Theft Auto IV also known as GTA 4 was a masterpiece game especially for a game made in 2008, I played it recently to remind me how good it was and it impressed me. The game is really fun to play and I was satisfied when the game ended because there is more activities to do and there is always something to do. The game was definitely worth my money with high replay value so I recommend it to other people. The GTA franchise is known for how good their stories are, the plot was amazing like a movie with a mind blowing climax with well written characters which each character had depth and dialogue was well written too. The storyline and gameplay were targeted toward the same market with gritty realism. The gameplay of this game is perfection, the gameplay is open and was integrated into the narrative and sometimes challenging which requires no skills but reflexes. The gameplay is mostly fun and has the most logical gameplay than any game in history. The graphics are mid but good for a game made in 2008, every color, object, person, and animation is realistic and fitting with the theme of gritty New York. All animations are smooth and logical with appropriate lighting and shadows. The music is varied, but audio overall is perfect with professional sounds in environments and characters but are not that useful. The controls are well designed but not customizable. The menu is user friendly with options to adjust settings like graphics and audio. The map is very useful with a good hint system. There are a lot of game elements that might exclude players like nudity, violence, gore, guns, inappropriate language, and use of drugs. The text is legible with good grammar depending on the context. There are no technical errors that I have experienced. This game is on my top 5 games list so I give this game 5 stars.
Game Review - Prototype 2 (2/9/21)2/9/2021 Prototype 2 is a very fun game, when I finished playing it I was satisfied and the game had much replay value, the interval between plays is around a few hours. The game was definitely worth my money and would be proud to recommend it to others. The story and narrative was not surprising or engaging, but it was not boring, dialogue and characters were well made and written. The storyline and gameplay did target towards the same market. The gameplay is the highlight of the game which was neither too linear or too open, it integrated into the narrative being the main plot of the story, the game is easy but that's what makes it fun especially where there are no skills required, logical, and all out fun. The graphics, palette, and background were perfect for a dark toned game which fitted the games theme. All of the objects and humans were proportional including with smooth animation, natural movements, and recognizable. The audio was average, the music varied, the game sounds and environmental sounds brought appropriate effect but was not useful. The controls are customizable and simple, and the menu was user friendly. The settings like adjusting graphics and audio, hints, and the map were good, organized, and useful. The game elements that excludes players is blood, gore, and language. Text and grammar were fine with no issues which did not affect gameplay. The game has no technical errors and has never crashed. I rate this game 5 stars for how fun and open this game is.
The game "Infamous Second Son" was very good, I was satisfied after finishing the game and makes me want to play the story again, the interval between plays are about 2 hours. The game costed 20$ which was worth it and I recommend it to others to play. The story was well made and good, the story had a good exposition, a mind blowing climax, and denouement. The story very engaging because of the depth of the characters, well written dialogue, same targeted storyline and gameplay toward the same marketing, which makes it seem like a movie. The gameplay is very fun, it had a massive effect on the story which was also challenging. The game is challenging but requires no type of skill. The game is still fun and logical even dealing with super powers. The graphics are very well done especially for a game that came out in 2015. The graphics were realistic, elements were well drawn, rendered good for a decent sized map, and every object and human were proportional for a real life style game. The backgrounds were good and appropriate including the palette. The animation in the objects and humans were smooth and very realistic. The music was decent, the music varied on situations but were not interesting but the voice overs and environmental sounds were very good, appropriate, and rarely useful. The controls are good but not customizable, the menu was user friendly and you cannot change the graphics but can adjust audio. Everything was organized, accessible, and hint system is useful for nudges. The game elements that excludes players is that this game is for playstation only and Rated Teen. The text and grammar were well with no misspelling and good grammar. There are no technical issues, so I give this game five stars.
Spider Man Miles Morales is now one of my favorite games in 2020, It is the most fun game I have ever played, when I finished the game I was satisfied because it teased what was going to happen and go down in the next game, and there's free roam after so there's "no end". It has a good replay value and the interval between plays could be hours, yes it was worth my money and it is at a reasonable price for 49.99$ which is why I would recommend it to others. The plot was like a movie (like the first game) it included exposition, climax, and the others which were all executed very well. The story was very engaging with great characters with depth and well written dialogue,the gameplay and storyline were targeted against the same market. The best thing in this game was the gameplay, the gameplay was very open with the web swinging, combat, and interactions. The gameplay did integrate into the narrative, the gameplay can be challenging depending on the difficulty and there are no skills required, the gameplay is logical, set in a real environment in New York applying super hero abilities, heroes, and villains in the mix. The second best thing in this game is the visuals and graphics. The graphics style was realistic and it matched the theme, the elements and objects are what stand out with realistic movements especially when it comes in contact with something or someone and the human characters were the same thing which were also proportional and rendered well. The background, colors, and animations were colorful and smooth with great shadows and lighting applied in the right areas. The animation was smooth so the characters moved very well especially miles (the main protagonist) and were logical and realistic. The audio was perfect especially the music, it was high budget "movie" quality like the first game, the sounds are very useful and very appropriate. The controls are well designed but not customizable, the menu was user friendly, the only way to adjust graphics was on the PS5 but on both consoles (ps4 and ps5) you can adjust audio and other settings. The map and hints were very helpful because you are in a open world game needed to go to destinations. The game is rated teen that might exclude players but there is no grammar issues or text issues. The game has minor bugs because it just released last week. In conclusion I'd rate this game 5 stars and above.
Game review 10/13/20 (Spiderman PS4)10/13/2020 Spider-Man PS4 is one of my personal favorite games and I think it is amazing and has no flaws. This game was really fun and I was happy when the story ended because it was a great story and after it ended you get to complete side missions and other things which gives great replay value,the interval between plays is like 2 hours. It was definitely worth the money and I recommend it to others. The story in the game is one of the best things in the game including a great plot and a great climax, an engaging story to keep you up out of your seat, the characters had depth, dialogue was written well, and the story line and gameplay were towards the same market. The gameplay was 60 % of the games greatness, the gameplay involved combat and swinging, since this is a open world game, the web swinging was crucial and taking down enemies with combat which both were great. Skills isn't really required and it isn't challenging depending on the difficulty but the gameplay is really fun and half logical and non logical. The graphics were great, the graphic style was realistic and fits the games theme, the animation is smooth and good with the character models and objects and they all move smoothly, everything was rendered well especially backgrounds and the colors were good. There was no issue with audio and the music was phenomenal, sounds weren't very useful especially if you want to get an advantage but the voice overs and environment sounds or sounds in general were good and professional. The interface of the game was good, the menu was helpful for the map, settings, tips, audio, and all of these help you with the game. You cannot adjust graphics and the controls are really simple and well designed, the menu is user friendly. The only thing that exclude players from the game is mild violence but that's it. In the game there is no grammar and text is legible, and there are no technical difficulties. I give this game a 5 star rating because its such a well done game and has the most sales for a playstation exclusive.
The game was really fun but i was really mad when i finished the game because it felt short. The game has good replay value because they are side missions and it keeps you immersed. The interval between plays is a few hours because the game is so good it can get exhausting. The game is worth it and i pre-ordered it in April and got it in July and I was hyped the whole time and when i payed full price which was 60 dollars I was not disappointed. I recommend it to people who like realistic or campaign games. The plot had everything, it implemented the elements from "a hero's journey" which is a classic story "genre". The story is one of the best parts of the game which was engaging. The characters in the game had character development and depth and had great dialogue. The story is about a samurai who wants to betray the "loyal" compass of a samurai to avenge his people, his people were slaughtered by mongols and the story is set in japan, Tsushima Island. The samurai becomes the "ghost". The game play deals with combat and you use a sword using different stances and "ghost" weapons to defeat mongols and bandits. The game play is very fun and realistic, its bloody and matches the game style perfectly. The game play is realistic, challenging, linear, fun, and you need skill. The graphics make up 65% of the games content, it is set in japan so they focused on the grass, trees, and water. The graphic style fitted the game. Everything was recognizable and rendered well, and the humans were proportional. The animations were amazing from weather to human movement, it was realistic and smooth, and the colors from different trees and nature was amazing. The audio was well and the music they used was Japanese instruments. The environment sounds and dialogue was good. The game sounds are useful especially when someone is going to shoot a arrow. The controls are very good but they are not customizable. They are options to adjust graphics and audio and the menu was user friendly. Everything was organized and the map was very useful. There is a hint system for everything if you are taking to long to do it. There were no game elements that excluded players. The subtitles and menu text are legible and had no grammar errors. There are no game errors but your PS4 fan will blow loud but that's it. I give this game 5 stars because its one of my favorite games.
