Masterpiece.

When the game was first announced I was excited, but never expected it to be that mind-blowing on every level.

- 10/10 soundtrack. Perfection in variety and use of themes/meanings. The game offers a vast amount of music genres and weaves it perfectly into one coherent piece.
- 10/10 battle system. The game allows for a huge amount of build variety, lots of room for experimentation and skill expression. I went for a parry-only run and the feeling you get upon perfect execution is addicting & rewarding. It's super responsive and feels CRUNCHY AF when you pull it off. The game offers multiple creative ways to respond to attacks, e.g. sound, effects or colour and it plays even further with it by intentionally using those factors as challenges every now and then. There is not a single boss that I did not enjoy, be it fight- or presentation-wise.
- 10/10 optional content. It reminds me a lot of older RPGs that were packed with riddles and optional side-content. The way player progression is designed is super well thought through, exciting, rewarding and doesn't get boring at any point. I really missed that feeling of mystery and discovery.
- 10/10 humour. Barely have I ever laughed as much about conversations, npc behaviour and cutscenes in a game. Peak!
- 10/10 story. No spoilers though :)

The only negative thing I can currently think of is that my game crashed quite a few times giving me an UE error, which some people seem to experience.

I've been a fan of "Soulsborne" games for a long time now and Sekiro makes so much different compared to previous FromSoftware titles yet is still perfect in it's own way. It is definitely a hard game (depending on how you look at it even harder than Dark Souls in some aspects) but it is SO rewarding. The fighting system feels awesome once you get used to it and there ARE bosses that force you to get used to it. The prosthetic arm, ninjutsus, skills and posture lend depth to every confrontation - and there are quite a lot if you add mini bosses to the regular ones (which sometimes are as hard to beat as normal bosses).
I also love setting, story & music. By far my favourite title this year so far.

I've totally fallen in love with this game.
Everything about it is marvellous - stunning graphics, great gameplay, beautiful soundtrack, breathtaking, soulful story.
If I had to mention one negative aspect, I probably wouldn't find any. All in all, it is a masterpiece.
My favourite parts of the OST by Gareth Coker are "Kuro's Tale I - Her Rage" & "Light of Nibel".
The definite edition has additional story parts, skills & further options (such as difficulty levels or teleportation) and I'm glad that I started the game once more after playing the standard version - the extensions are worth it!
Ori & the blind forest turned into one of my all time favourite games.
I would recommend it to everyone, especially those, who are attracted to emotional stories & indie games, such as Bastion, To the moon, Brothers - a tale of two sons etc. or Jump & Run games like Outland.

First off, whether you love or hate No Man's Sky, depends on your personal idea of a game.
If you expect a story full of tension, a complex levelling/skilling system or big boss fights, you probably wont like it.

No Man's Sky is all about the atmosphere - which is breathtaking.
Optics and soundtrack are ravishing. The feeling of travelling through space without someone telling you where your next objective is, is relaxing and pleasant.
If you have enough of looting & analysing your way from planet to planet, you can simply enjoy the enormously magnificent colours and countless different planets.
If I had to list a negative aspect, I'd moan about not being able to see other players online (due to technical reasons, I guess) and that I wish for an additional scope of the looting & crafting system - but since I could not have done it any better, no complaints. :)

All in all, the game is a nice possibility to switch your head off once you come home from a stressful day!

This game is the perfect choice, if you need some fun in between, without complex stories, battle systems or difficult control settings.
Quite the reverse - keeping your hand on one button is enough.
Nonetheless, the offered levels of difficulty demand your full attention. It can get very confusing and messed up!
The music is extremely nice and fits the level designs. The levels created by players are as good as the standard ones, if not even more exciting.

I totally love it! 11/10 :]

Finally! A Visual Novel where you can date REAL MEN! Err, birdies. But since everybirdie is so nice and manly, I love it anyway.
But don't you agree? There are just a few VNs for girlies - but this one makes my heart DOKI DOKI ~ Nahw... well, kinda.

Soundtrack's great! The characters are complex, The graphics are nice. The messages you get, too!

Would highly recommend to everybirdie!!
Coo! Coo!
