A game that is a cult classic but just a terrible PC port.

I want to be nice to this game but the game can not run.
The game needs you to repair the Physics X tool before you can launch the game.
The game is locked at 30 FPS 720P.
The game can crash frequently making you lose progress that you would have to run portions of the game again only for the game to crash right afterwards.

I love how cheesy the game is and how ridiculous the characters are.
The story has a fun appeal to it that you want to keep playing.
The gameplay is somewhat decent that you can play through the game without feeling that the game is repetitive.

If I am being honest. Either play the game on the Nintendo Switch which is a bad port but will not crash or play it on the Xbox One that is the best port for the game. Just do not buy it on PC unless Rising Star Games can patch and fix all the problems this game has.

A cult classic that has its hits and misses but still a fun enjoyable game nonetheless. 7/10

+Pros
Gameplay feels sharp and has different ways you can go through areas and clear out fights.
The performance of the game is flawless even in 2020. I can run this game completely fine but seem to not be able to run another Sega game released around the same time - Binary Domain.

-Cons
The game is short, clocking around 4-5 hours.
The game is brutal with the death system. When you die your upgrades go back by one tier, making some weapons go from great to poor in late game levels.
The story feels chopped up at times making characters go 180 and then go back to where they were beforehand.
The end is a sequel bait that never was, making the story feel chopped up and then left out parts just to explain further on in a sequel that never came.

Vanquish is a gem from its generation that both Sega and people should go back and check it out. With its base price being cheap and constantly being in sales for Sega games you should try the game out.

An amazing sequel coming from Wayforward. 9/10

+Pros
The soundtrack to me is amazing.
The story is another fun story from the Shantae series.
The DLCs giving different perspectives for the story and having their own playstyle, collectibles, and mechanics.

+Cons
A decent amount of the DLCs are time oriented arcade style that I am not a fan of.
With huge areas that have secrets all around it would be helpful to have a map to help out where these places you have previously explored but did not have the proper upgrade.


Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is a great sequel that had to compete to an end of a trilogy game that was Pirates Curse. With transformations that can change how each level can be progressed, Half-Genie Hero is amazing entry to the series. I still prefer Pirates Curse because I think it is better game but Half-Genie Hero is still an amazing entry to the series.

This game is has so many things going on that to me it is a 10/10.

Is the platforming good?
It's some of the best platforming I have played in a long time.

Is the soundtrack good?
Amazing that each level has a distinct soundtrack to one another.

Is the story good?
The story is simple, fun, and each level has its own story to go around. One level can be about making a movie while another can be about getting your soul back from a shadow monster.

How is the replayability?
With so many collectibles the official levels has a lot of things to do.

There is so much that A Hat in Time has that works and with the community making levels, a multiplayer that can have up to 50 people playing at once, and an art style that can be timeless, I can honestly say that A Hat in Time might be one of the best platformers and a must play for anybody wanting to play the best of this genre. Here is hoping for more amazing games from Gears for Breakfast.

I feel City was too big for its own good. The game was built to be this big battle between Batman and Joker but villains intervene and eventually the big battle happens. At the end.
Gameplay 8/10
Same as Asylum but improves on certain parts. P.S. Go away riddler.
Sound 8/10
Characters have the best placed voices and modulators for certain characters.
Story 7/10
Too big for its own good.
Overall too big of a game.
7/10

Beginning of probably the best comic series character. Batman gets stuck in Arkham Asylum with the Joker and Batman villains.
Gameplay 9/10
Some upgrades are more important than others. Stealth is amazing. Boss battles feel bigger than Batman.
Sound 8/10
Music is good on certain parts and when getting caught. Voice actors are perfect for each character. Great to hear Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill reprise their iconic roles.
Story 10/10
The best from the Arkham franchise.
Overall the best from the Arkham franchise.
9/10

Hard to play at first but is pretty decent. The ancestor this game felt bland. Ending trilogy for Desmond.
Gameplay 7/10
Hard to control and some controls are on the same button.
Sound 8/10
Pretty good.
Story 7/10
85% Where's Charles Lee. 5% Father Assassin. 10% Demond.
Overall many side stories, main story is alright, and the DLC is amazing.
7/10

The conclusion for the Ezio trilogy and the beginning of the ending for the main story with Desmond. The game introduces a weird gameplay concept as a tower defence. Got it once and never saw it again. New location for the series and isn't an improvement like Brotherhood but an improvement of 1.
Gameplay 8/10
You can get in trouble for buying stores.
Sound 7/10
Same like before and like every AC game.
Story 9/10
See the ending for both Ezio and Altair.
Overall good ending of Ezio and was the last of the gameplay aspects from 1 , 2, Brotherhood and this game.
8/10

The Banjo-Tooie of the series. Improves much more than the last game. Brotherhood introduces the Creed system in which you can recruit people to join your Creed. More story and another twist.
Gameplay 10/10
Sound 7/10
Story 9/10
Overall an improvement from Assassin's Creed 2 and that game was a amazing. Slight problems for the controller but can be fixed easily with a google search.

One of the best games from the Assassin's Creed series (there aren't many)
The game focuses more on story and gameplay which is amazing.
Gameplay 9/10
Sound 8/10
Story 8/10
Overall Assassin's Creed 2 improves more on what the first couldn't. Only problem I had was the controller port.
