Final Fantasy VII Remake is my most anticipated video game of all time, a remake of the glorious PS1 game that while showing its age deeply, is still one of the most notable experiences for the entire library of the console.
This remake does it justice by being more than just a retelling, it completely revamps the story, concept, and downright spirit of the punk style of the original.
The gameplay is some of the most fun I have ever had playing a video game, alongside that, while it can be tough at times, I love how no matter how far into the game you are, you can be taught things even at the final boss, truly excellent design.

Not only this, but the story tugs on your heart again and again, I love it. Cloud Strife always stuck out to me, but I never expected him to be so perfectly expanded upon, giving him that much more depth, context, and feelings. Characters has always been the most important part of a story, but it's not just that Midgar is so much more life filled, while still not being a "lively" world like Cyberpunk, it still does feel like a place that could exist, and you feel for its residents, making the story feel that much more impact, as you change the very landscapes of the millions who live theres world.

The graphics are beyond gorgeous, I don't need to even say why it's so pretty, everything down to every last detail is so pretty that I cannot explain how much I love looking at this game, from Aerith's house, to Shinra Tower, to even the highways, expect to be blown away again and again.

Postal 4 is a broken, unfun, and overwhelmingly disappointing game wrapped in some jokes and self mockery and "early access syndrome". The game is just plain less fun than what it following up, aka, Postal 2. Even after 3 years of continued updates I'm still vastly disappointed that a game I really loved has so far 0 decent squeals, mild shout-out to Paradise Lost, so here is a list of problems I have with the game in its current state.
- The game performs quite terribly
- It is very ugly
- It has huge amounts of bugs, from janky voice lines to load zones not functioning.
- Even on the hardest difficulty, the game is very easy if you get a few items.
- Some of the achievements are either so ludicrously annoying to get or just straight up broken.
- The game, in general is less fun than other games.
Admittedly, currently the game is currently at an all time low of 14.50 CAD. Unfortunately, in my opinion it is still not worth this price, here is some games that total (about) that price tag that you could get instead.
- Dishonored, 3 CAD.
- Fallout: New Vegas, 4 CAD.
- Postal 2 collection, 2 CAD.
- Just Cause 3, 3 CAD.
- Left 4 Dead 2, 1 CAD.
I think with the cents at the end, that's around 14.50 that you can in the end have significantly more fun than anything this game offers.
I want this game to succeed, I don't believe it ever will. I spent so much time in its world, exploring, finding its little secrets, and I with the blissful thought of "it'll get better eventually", at the forefront of my thoughts when I played it. 70 hours later, and 3 years later and this game, while admittedly playable, shouldn't be considered finished until it is actually on par with other experiences that can be had.
When (or if) I believe this game has received a major update worthy of calling it a complete, cost worthy experience beyond just the occasional gag that got a slight smirk out of me, I will change my review to positive, 100% the game, and write a 3000 word apology letter that I will psychically send to RWS HQ in Tucson, Arizona.
What bothers me most about this game is I know that better can be done, Paradise Lost proved to me that RWS has the capacity to make a good game still. While of course no ill will towards the devs themselves, I hate the art, not the artist.

World Of Final Fantasy is a cute, funny, beautiful, and fun side story in the Final Fantasy series.

Unfortunately this port of the game is so comically broken that it's not even worth trying to play this version, there's the launch bug, easy enough to fix, but after that there is a 30 fps cap, and the shadow resolution maximum isn't even available before modding. The amount of tools and patches for this game is unfortunately minimum, and further, performance degradation hit this game and pretty heavily, meaning this port will only get worse and worse as it allows less and less computers to run it, especially newer ones. If you have an old PS4/Xbox 1 lying around, get a physical copy of it for basically nothing and play that instead. This port is vitriol.

The 1st ever game I got on steam. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Cyberpunk is my 3rd favourite game and still blows me away with its story, presentation, and just pure fun-factor. It evoked that same feeling in me as understanding New Vegas for the first time and just captured me in its dark setting and its characters that just made me wanting more. When I first played it, I played around 10 hours a day for a straight week and my only regret was not activating a setting that would've stopped my stuttering issue. Graphics, music, writing, gunplay, everything is truly amazing. I recommend this game with all my heart, it's an instant classic and will no doubty be played for decades to come. And maybe even be a precautionary tale to late-stage capitalism. I only wish there was more main story content. That's it.

♥♥♥♥ this game.
Horrendous waste of I, and my two friends I played this with for well over 400 hours. And making battle passes real-money only is such a disgusting insult to your playerbase. I'm participating in not playing this game for a long time and I won't miss much. I could talk about how special titanfall 2 is to me, I could talk about how ea is scum. But no, I can't even be bothered, this game makes me feel apathy. Worse than death. Still better than this game.

Terra Nil is a nice, blood pressure relief, cute, and charged video game that I had fun with throughout my hours.
Unfortunately there is not enough game in this game. 8 maps is abysmal, and no post-campaign content makes it very hard to recommend this game, not because of what it is, but because of how little content it has.

So dear Free Lives, please, please, add some kind of procedural generative map option and being able to either choose which mechanics and biomes you want to play in and an option to have a random one. Add a difficulty option. Whatever mechanics to make this theoretical post-game 'endless replayability' mode. I love your game, and the effort I see you clearly put into this game is phenomenal, just please add something for me to do.
Until there is more content added to this game, I cannot recommend it to friends, family, or femboys.

Helldivers 2 is pretty good.

Just Act Natural is a really uniquely designed game with a decent, albeit repetitive gameplay loop. It's decently fun with a couple friends, but overall does not stack up to the fun you could be having on Jackbox, Gartic Phone, or most other party games.
Also blocking 100% completion behind a paywall is lame as.

Overwatch 2 does not need to exist now the PvE is cancelled. Do better, Blizzard.
