Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Village?

Definitely not my favorite RE game, that crown goes to RE2 Remake (OG 2 was my fave before), but it is certainly the most fun RE game I've played in some time. I'm just hoping further installments remain in the realm of horror. 7 accomplished that return, but 8, as fun as it is, just turns into Michael Bay film near the end.

Re: Terminator: Resistance's Free PS4 to PS5 Upgrade May Not Be Available at Launch

@KnightRider1982 I can recommend this over the past couple Terminator films. All joking aside, it's a serviceable shooter with light RPG and crafting mechanics. There's parts of the game that make the terminators feel like an actual threat, coupled with the post-apocalyptic setting makes it feel like a survival horror game. The game has a certain level of Euro-jank feel, so don't expect the polish of a AAA shooter, but there is fun to be had, especially if you find it on sale.

Re: Mini Review: UnderMine (PS4) - Addictive Rogue-Lite Strikes Gold

@Olmaz I've been playing this on Switch for the past few months. The "Shooting" is really using your pick-axe like a boomerang and isn't as prominent as a gameplay mechanic. The jumping is to avoid pitfalls and getting attacked in lieu of a dash button. The jumping isn't broken, it just feels dissatisfying in place of a dash button. With that being said, to answer your latter question, the progression cycle is incredibly rewarding and the "buffs" you can gain on each run are either incredibly interesting or super useful.

Re: Mini Review: The Sinking City (PS5) - A Re-Release That Struggles to Remain Afloat

I re-purchased it because it was so unplayable on PS4 Pro for me, but the story was so good, I wanted to see it through to the end. I'm not sure where these issues are being found in the PS5 version, but it has played very smoothly for me so far. With that being said, the dual-sense features are weak and if you didn't like the combat in the 2019 release, this re-release won't change that.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Potential of a Masterpiece, Totally and Utterly Unrealised

Playing on the 5 so far, I completely agree with this review. There is some genuinely fun gameplay and systems coupled with cool sub-quests (been focusing on those over story) so far, but I've been getting the notorious glitch that quits the game on me after an hour or so at play. With that being said, it may not have been as bad, but Witcher was in poor shape when it launched in 2015 and CDPR cleaned it up. Given they had to release nine different builds of this game, I feel like it will be a GOTY 2021 contender once they've patched it up.
