Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands 8/10

+ Hoo doggy, this is a co-op game and a half.

+ Guns have individual feels to them and you can learn that feel quick, depending.

+ Areas are nice an versatile, ranging from ice capped mountains to salt filled lakes.

+ Finding guns or attachments for those specific to what you're looking for is like a really large Easter egg hunt from hell, but it's so nice to go for them.

+ Event missions include Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell and even Breakpoint and all of them are a blast. EVEN LEARNING THAT THERE'S A SHIP IN THE RAINBOW. YOOOOOOOOOOO.

+ I liked the music, what limited you really get to listen to behind the sound of the nice banter of the Ghosts or the Cartel making calls.

+ The story was generalized, streamlined, but you can follow ANY path you want.

----------------------------------------------

- As soon as you hit Tier One, a slight jarring experience teaches you that two bullets and autoaim can really screw with your missions. Fun, but sluggish behind the loading screens you constantly have to go through.

- The easy to read "villain lieutenants" and their motives.

- ENEMY VISION. They can see through boxes. And walls. And mountains. And from space.

- Unidad.

- Unidad.

- Unidad.

- Did I say Unidad? Because random ass flying helicopters really fuckin' put a damper on any mission. Their line of sight is 300 meters and they get angry quick.

- The flintlock pistol.

----------------------------------------------

? The reference to Metal Gear was nice, but it makes me want a Splinter Cell x Metal Gear game. Also, Sam knew Snake. Interesting.

= DRIVING IS OKAY? BUT REALLY WIERD???

Battle Chef Brigade 9/10

Written by: Justin +YOU LIKE COOKING? Damn right you do. Cook good food for rip off Takeshi Kaga(Iron Chef host/chef) with rules like Iron Chef, with a light fighting platformer and puzzle system to make your dishes amazing. +Very challenging early game throws you into the understanding of how the game works. Controller needed. +Characters, scenery and music really make this game shine. Very unique people you run across, albeit very anime at times. I like Thorn. +Daily Challenges keep the game fresh and even spice the mind with it's difficulty. +All of the old man's cats are named after cheeses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Time maintenance is key and perfection is either needing to be spot on or you'll be overwhelmed and  lose the match. -If you have OCD, lose it. This game is quick to force you to adapt to making mistakes quickly and to recover from them. Take your time, the difficulty ramps, but so do you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =How dare you throw your greens with my reds and blues.

The Sexy Brutale 9/10

Written by: Justin

+ Each mask is unique to their respecting characters. + Music makes you groove at every instance. + Time travel is done well in this game. + Collectables tell the tale of the rooms you enter. + Ending. + The macabre theme is a nice scene for a casino. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The rooms often can create a lost and dizzying feel. - Some of the puzzle solutions are straight-forward, but logic will do no good. - TIME. WE NEED MORE TIME. - Fish are assholes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = It was Mr. Plum in the kitchen, with the revolver!

Tales of Berseria: 20-Hour Edition! 8/10

Written by: Justin

+ Whoo doggy, Namco really takes the stories from Inomata and makes them a reality. + Plays similar to their other franchise of games with the same prefix of 'Tales of'. + Music on point, weeaboo af, but in a good way. + Character arcs are there for each of them, with their own struggles and tribulations. + If you've played a previous Tales game, you'll sit comfortably with the items/artes/tactics/story development. + KATZ. These little collectables make for an interesting, yet very minor addition to the game and add a bit of-- 'chuckle-value' with what they bring. + Velvet is best waifu. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The combat is a bit clunky in a sense that mashing it out won't solve anything and you must do small-string combos over and over. - Defending is miniscule against bosses. - A minor nix, but I ran into a bug where if you were in a 'DANGEROUS ENCOUNTER', the enemies were impenetrable. Dunno if it was meant to be that way, but a bit jarring to have to go back to an old save point because I wanted to walk cautiously around. - One hit knocks magicians out of their concentration, even if you take the hit with your own block. - Magilou. - Bienfu. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = If you've played Tales of Legendia, it seems like it's a 1:1 recreation, with a bit of swip-swapping of genders and a bit of a slight personality shift. Not a bad thing, but a good tale all the same. = The openings are so damn nice to all these Tales games. God damn.
