First of all please ignore my RIDICULOUSLY long playtime as I wasn't playing for sometimes. This is my favorite part of the Fears to Fathom series, not because it is the scariest but because it has the best story in the series and it is set in a great location. I'd say this game is scarier than parts 1 and 3 but not as scary as part 2. It is stated that it takes around 2 hours to beat the game but I think that it took me a tad bit shorter than that. Again the music is great and in scary parts it adds to the horror of the game, during some parts I felt a bit scared to continue, one of the jump scares is somewhat unexpected and in my opinion the jump scares are great, the final part of the game is really good and felt almost nerve-racking for me. In conclusion, would I recommend this game? ABSOLUTELY!!! Considering the fact that this is an indie game I'd give it an 8.5/10. I can't wait for part 5



NOTE: You can't pause the game at all

First of all I would like to begin this review by stating that you should ignore my playtime as the game is much shorter than 3 hours, I was just not playing for some time, if I remember correctly it is stated that the game takes around an hour to beat but I think that it took me a bit more that that. This is the 3rd episode of Fears to Fathom and in my opinion it is the least scariest, I don't remember any jump scares but that is most likely due to the fact that I read a guide to the game and spoiled half of the scary part, the music is quite good and adds to the horror of the game, some parts feel quite eerie and I was scared to continue playing sometimes, the story is quite good with quite the shocking reveal near the end. In conclusion, would I recommend this game? Yes I would. Considering the fact that this game is an indie game I'd give it a 6.3/10\

First of all I'd like to state the fact that you should ignore my ridiculously long playtime, the game is actually much shorter but I wasn't playing for some time. The game states that it take around 45 minutes to beat but I think it might've took me an hour if I remember correctly, I got the first episode of Fears to Fathom as it was free and I think I fell in love with the series, I am writing this review after 100%ing all episodes, this episode in particular is my 2nd favorite after episode 4, I don't want to spoil this game but what I've seen in the Fears to Fathom games that I have not seen in any other horror games is that there are no mutants or scary entities or monsters or anything of that sort, in all these games you eventually find out that the real monster is a person, giving a great lesson that some people can be monsters. Although short I liked this game quite a lot, some parts feel really eerie, especially when driving, speaking of the drive there might be some sort of secret ending to the game, I attempted to walk to the gas station one time and it seemed closed or abandoned, maybe it was just a bug but it could also lead to a whole different story. Anyways, about the horror aspect of the game the music is quite good and makes the game feel much more scary, sometimes I was scared to the point where I looked at the ground while walking, but I was mostly scared when I saw a jump scare. In conclusion, would I recommend this game? Yes I would! If I had to rate this game on a scale of 1-10, considering the fact that it is an indie game, I'd probably give it a 7.5/10

I usually write my reviews after unlocking all achievements but this time I don't care, I was gonna give this remaster a positive review seeing as it is the the only decent remaster out of the horrible cash grab remasters of the GTA Trilogy, but I ran into a problem that made me change my mind, sometimes if you crash into torn vehicle parts like the trunk cover and the hood the front side of your car just jumps, I don't care if this was a glitch, a gameplay mechanic or if GSG managed to ruin the collision on those objects, this should've been fixed, it can ruin some good mission runs in various ways. Aside from this there are the usual GTA Trilogy remaster problems so that's why this review is quite short, in conclusion, this still is a descent remaster, as much as I want to leave a positive review it the horrible collision physics on some objects pissed me off to the point where I can't do that. But if you don't care and want to play GTA3 with improved graphics and achievements then go for it and buy this version

One of the worst remasters I have ever played, and that would be expected since this is the same 20 year old game with a new coat of graphics, a new UI, some censorship, cut music tracks, bugs that were present in the nearly 22 year old original game, and lets not forget that greedy Rockstar hired a mobile game studio, the same studio that worked on the disastrous 2014 remasters of GTA SA to remaster 3 genre-defining games. So first off lets start with what's good about this terrible remaster, better UI, better graphics, achievement support. That's about it... Now lets talk about the bad things. First of all the bugs, some make you laugh and some make you rage, one time I was riding a bike when a cop randomly teleported to me and pushed off my bike I didn't even have a wanted level when this happened. Another time I was trying to get away from an angry gang member while in a helicopter and the dude somehow pulled me out while I was ascending in mid air, the helicopter I was in then exploded and it seems that it was pregnant as 2 mostly lime colored copters came out of nowhere, they were stuck in the floor and in the wall of a building, and no, I wasn't able to ride them. The same glitch happened with a different type of helicopter, I don't remember the color of the other helicopters that appeared out of nowhere but the one that exploded didn't appear black and charred but had the normal texture like it was all fine. Now these are mostly harmless, funny bugs, but I ended up encountering one game breaking bug that could've caused me to restart the entire game. I walked into a hardware store to buy a chainsaw and the store button prompts got stuck on my screen, I reloaded a previous save multiple times and tried to buy the chainsaw but the problem persisted, I got sick of it, saved the game again and quit, thinking that when I launch the game again the problem would be gone, little did I know this was a game breaking bug that would completely destroy my save, I foolishly started a sub mission when I restarted the game in an attempt to solve this issue, but that only overwrote the auto save slot, but I luckily had another save game that I loaded up, in the end I lost only 5-7 hours of progress, if that save wasn't there I would've had to restart the entire game and lose at least 30 hours of progress. What's embarrassing about this is that this game breaking bug was present in the original game that is almost 22 years old, yet GSG didn't bother fixing it. I don't know how they dare to call this "Definitive Edition". It is now time to get to the final part of this review and talk about the ugly parts of this terrible remaster. It seems that GSG have introduced an UGLY, TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRENDOUS, HIDEOUS, EYE SOARING, MONSTROSITY of a blur effect. It appears with cars and bikes sometimes which I guess is to simulate hot air coming out of the exhausts and I can confidently say that they have done a terrible job at simulating that, this truly hideous effect is most apparent when flying a helicopter and tilting it forwards or backwards which causes a blur effect when looking through the rotors of the copter, it seems that they've done this to recreate the rotor blur effect from the original game, but they have failed MISERABLY this blur effect looks horrible, I don't know exactly how to describe it but it just looks bad, and I mean BAD. It seems pixelated, it just makes objects through the rotor blades look like they have a low LOD. Something else that doesn't bother me much aside from a few bad character designs but seems to bother other people is the cartoony art style that was chosen for this remaster, there's also the fact that they completely removed the original color filter of the original ps2 release of the game. And something that bothered me is that they included a slot for the camera in the weapon wheel, what bothers me about that is that the camera only appears in one single mission then disappears so if you died after that mission and you want to fill all weapon wheel slots then you simply can't since the weapon icon for the camera disappeared forever. Finally I would like to end this review by saying that I honestly didn't think I would run into enough problems in this defective edition to cause me to give my favorite GTA game a negative review, I guess I was wrong. So if graphics and achievements don't matter to you then AVOID THIS VERSION AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!

Out of the GTA Trilogy remasters this is the worst one I have played, in fact this is the worst remaster of a game I have ever experienced in my entire life. This is basically the same GTA game from 20 years ago with some UI features from newer GTA games. There is no fog when you're on the ground in this game, and paired with the increased view distance this makes it easy to see Mount Chiliad from Los Santos, completely breaking the immersion of the game and destroying the illusion of SanAndreas being this huge state and the game having a huge map. While playing I've also noticed that there is a horrible imbalance between the noise of vehicles and radio songs, for example, I'd be listening to one song on K Rose and the audio would be so loud that it's almost as loud or even louder than the sound of the vehicle i'm driving, but then I'd switch to a different radio station and the audio of the song would be so low that it's a bit hard to hear what the lyrics are, now I'd like to note that I have installed a mod that restores removed songs and fixes a bug where songs skip when pausing the game but I don't see how this mod could be the root of the problem, in fact I've noticed that the songs this mod restores actually sound more balanced than the songs originally in the game. There is also a problem with level of detail that makes some buildings and roads look like melted plastic for a few seconds, even when close to them. And keep in mind I'm playing on max settings, so this isn't happening because I'm playing on the lowest settings. But worst of all is the horrible auto save system that doesn't even work properly, it only seems to save during or after main story missions and after races as far as I've noticed, it didn't save after sub missions like taxi driver or challenges like the NRG-500 challenge and BMX challenge, I've had to replay what seems like 4 hours worth of progress due to this horrendous, horrible, and terrible auto save system, if only they didn't add it so I would've known that I had to actually save manually. Now don't get me wrong, I love SanAndreas, in fact it is one of my favorite GTA games. But I still wouldn't recommend this horrible remaster, only buy this if you REALLY want to experience this game with superior graphics, because the graphics in the remaster are mostly better than any mods for the original game, and they can be made even better with mods, another selling point for this version is the achievement support. If you don't care about achievements nor graphics then AVOID THIS VERSION AT ALL COSTS

Meh. The only reason I would recommended this game is because of the night time Miami vibes. Other than that it's mediocre at best, the story is quite boring and not interesting, the gameplay is what you'd expect from nfs game the graphics are absolutely HORRENDOUS, horrendous, horrible, disgusting and almost blinding, when I first wrote this review I did say that the graphics are bad but I didn't really say much about it, that was because I played on a handheld with a 7 inch screen, now that I got myself a gaming laptop I can very well see how eye soaring these horrible graphics are, this game is only worth it if very heavily discounted, and even then you might not be able to play it, for me personally I think I'll have to install some sort of graphics mod to be able play this mess until I get the 100% completion because in my opinion the graphics in this game are absolutely intolerable

A good spiritual successor to BFBB, the game can feel a little bit boring at first but it gets better the more you play, in my opinion it is well optimized and has a somewhat interesting story with decent gameplay, if you're not a spongebob fan you may or may not like this but I can still recommend this game, I'd give it a 6.3/10

Stardew valley is a relaxing and cozy simulation game that even someone who doesn't enjoy gaming will most likely love. You play as the farmer in a small town. The game features many activities like farming, fishing, mining, etc. I'd definitely recommend this game

Probably my second favorite game ever. Detroit: Become Human is a story focused movie-like game where your choices can change the course of the game. While there were some chapters that I didn't enjoy I'd still say that this game is fantastic and worth playing
