https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,7980.msg140404.html#msg14040444. Soulcalibur II [20/20]
- Gamecube - I finally took the time to unlock all the characters in this game, I had it since forever but never really had the time to play it. As I said already, Soulcalibur III is my favorite fighting game of all time, so I always thought about Soulcalibur II as the "demo" of Soulcalibur III in a way that it's a really good game but SCIII just took it to another level. However I still adore this game and it's definitely worth playing it since you have a few characters that are exclusive to this game (Necrid, Assassin, Charade, Berserker and the Guest characters). Also, Link is probably one of my favorite guest characters in a fighting game! He fits the game perfectly and he's definitely one of the stronger fighter! He also has a really cheap attack that can finish a fight in a few seconds (the one where you can throw your opponent out of the arena lol). Graphically it's also amazing and overall just a really good and fun fighting game. Definitely get the Gamecube version tho lol.
45. Injustice 2 [20/20]
- Xbox One - Injustice 2 was a game I was extremely excited for! I've wanted to play with the first one for so long but for some reason never got it, so when I saw that the second one was coming out I ad to pre order it! I didn't regret it it at all, Injustice 2 has one of the best story mode I've seen in a fighting game. The cut scenes are amazing and it truly feels like you're watching a movie! Graphically the game is just beyond beautiful, the arena are so lively and the fighters look stunning. Speaking of the fighters, I LOVE the roster so much, I'm a big comics fan so I already liked a lot of the characters before even playing the game. I also liked that Superman wasn't the hero of the game, as I said I haven't played the first one but from my understanding he was one in it, so it was quite original seeing him as a "villain". This game also made me hate Wonder Woman so much, wanted to fucking slap that bitch lmao.
46. Fallout 4 [20/20]
- Xbox One - Fallout 4 was the first Fallout game I've ever played an I absolutely LOVED it! I'm gonna start with the few negatives first. First thing is I found the game super hard, it's probably because it was my first experience with a Fallout game but after like 5-6 hours of playing I had to download some mods to make it easier for me. It's not really a negative point as in a bad point it's honestly just me being probably really bad a the game lol but I still almost gave up. Second negative, not cut scenes, I really wish they added some cut scenes, it's not really a big deal but I feel like it could've made the story telling a bit better. One of the main problem tho is the glitches, luckily I didn't have many but one time I had MacCready stuck at one place and he wouldn't follow me anymore so I had to go back to a previous save. There was also a moment when you're supposed to enter a helicopter but it I coulnd't so I had to find another way to continue the game lol. And lastly the animations are stiff as fuck lol, I did play the game in 3rd person mode and since it's supposed to be play more as an FPS that's probably why. Now the positives, first I thought the character creation was amazing! My character was probably one of my favorite I ever made tbh! Then the story, it's not linear and being able to side with different people makes the game worth playing again multiple times. I also loved the fact that you could have gay romances, as I gay man I loved to be able to romance MacCready haha! The ending or more like the reveal (don't want to spoil but y'all know what i'm talking about if you played the game ^^) really shocked the fuck out of me tbh! Overall it was just a really good experience and i'm definitely gonna play it again! I also finished the game really quickly and was surprised when I finished it because I didn't think I was even close to the end but I think the fact that I used mods kinda explain why I finished it so quickly lol.
47. Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 [17/20]
- Playstation 3 - I'm a huge Harry Potter fan so that was the main reason I got this game. I never played a lego game before so I wasn't really sure how it works but I really liked how they separated everything into different levels. The game included pretty much everything from the movies while making it a lot more funnier and kid friendly (but not too kid friendly to the point where you can't enjoy it as an adult!). The fact that the characters didn't talk also made the game a lot funnier imo! Graphically it's pretty good, you can easily recognize every place from the movie (except Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom, idk what the fuck they were thinking when they made it lol ). Gameplay wise it's also pretty easy to pick up, the only thing that I disliked in the game is that a lot of times they don't really tell you what you're supposed to do which is kinda annoying.
48. Mass Effect [20/20]
- Xbox 360 - I heard a lot of good things about this serie before playing it, I already owned ME2 on ps3 for some reason but I never actually played it, and since there is the complete trilogy available with EA Access I thought why not play all 3 of them. I really liked this game tbh, the story was amazing and I was totally into it. I loved the characters, especially Kaidan and Ashley (fuck that choice tho). Graphically it's alright, it definitely looks like an early 7th gen game but it still looks pretty good. Also for some reason I thought the main story would be extremely long so I didn't really do any of the side quest and I ended up finishing the game really quickly! My overall impression of the game was that it's really good but it does have some small issues gameplay wise that could be easily fixed (like that stupid car with those awful controls lol) but it's a good first game that layed solid foundations for the next games.
49. Dragon Age Inquisition [20/20]
- Xbox One - This game blew my mind. It's the first Dragon Age game I've ever played and I honestly didn't expect it to be nearly as good as it is for some reason! Graphically it's just stunning, the characters truly look real and the different areas are all mind blowing! The story is also really interesting and I got attached to a lot of the characters, my inquisitor obviously but also Dorian who was my romance choice and who I found to be hilarious! The game never got boring for me, I finished it in about 60-70 hours and most of the time it felt like I only played 20 minutes even tho I was already playing it for more than 2 hours. I also like how they kinda force you to do the side quest to be able to continue the main story, my only regret is that I didn't really do any of the companion mission except Blackwall and Dorian's (I might have started or even finished Cullen's tho but i'm not sure). Gameplay wise I played with a human rogue, I did kinda regret not choosing a mage tbh but it didn't really bother me that much. Overall it's just a fantastic game that totally shocked me by how good it is!
50. Saints Row IV [20/20]
- Xbox 360 - So before playing this game I heard a lot of people complaining about it because of how different it was from the original Saints Rows, so I went into the game thinking I wasn't gonna like it however it was actually a BIG surprise! I really liked the game! The main character is just so funny and overall the dialogues are just hilarious! I also liked that they brought back old Shaundi and I also loved CID a lot! For some reason tho it feels like the main character isn't the same as how he was in SR2 or 3, he's just way funnier and less "gangster", but it didn't bother me at all cause it fit the game perfectly. The story was funny, not that original but it was alright. The gameplay is super fun, it's like what Prototype 1 should've been imo. My only issue was that I felt like the developers knew no one was gonna use the cars once we unlock the sprinting power so the driving was really weird, like it was really slow and hard to control! And I personally did use them because graphically the game is beautiful and I wanted to see the city a bit more, something you can't really do if you use the powers! Overall it was a really great game, I liked it more than the third tbh, might be an unpopular opinion but I actually thought the game was really fun!
51. Bratz Rock Angelz [20/20]
- PC - I'm really biased toward this game because i'm a Bratz super fan (i'm also a doll collector haha) and it's also a game from my childhood so I have good memories with it. It's definitely not a game that you should play if you don't like Bratz, it's gonna be probably really boring, but for me I thought the game did a pretty good job with being truthful to the movie and it was actually quite fun tbh. It was a bit too short tho, like around 1 hour to beat I'd say. Don't really have a lot to say about the game tbh, it's a pretty generic point and clic but I did enjoy it a lot.
52. Lonely Wolf Treat [12/20]
- PC - So Lonely Wolf Treat is a short indie game made with rpg maker. I loved the environment of the game, I thought it was pretty cute and the art style was really fitting with the whole theme of the game. I didn't really like the main character tho, like she was supposed to be that "lonely wolf" that nobody liked because she was a wolf but I thought she was kinda being an antipathetic bitch throughout the whole game lol. Also the bunny was being extra as hell and annoyed me to no end. I did like the message of the game tho.
53. Payback 2015 [14/20]
- PC - It was a fun little visual novel, but nothing more tbh. I wish there was more dialogue options and that the story would be more different based on who you picked. I played the game first with Seth Rollins and damn what an asshole they made him out be! Like it was almost too much tbh! Then I did the game again with Randy Orton and same thing he was a dick (I did end up with the good ending tho) so yeah it was kinda annoying lol.
54. A World at Peace [13/20]
- PC - A really short game but I thought it was really original and almost deep in a way. The "ending" where you have to choose to either stay in the perfect world but end up "stoned" or go away was kinda metaphoric to how we humans sometime stay in situations that seem perfect but we end up being trapped in them without knowing how to get out. I wish it was a bit longer tho and also the ending was kinda brutal like no real explanation or whatever.
55. Archimoulin [18/20]
- PC - So currently we only have access to a pretty short "demo" of the game but I absolutely adored it! The game is stunning, it kinda reminds me of Asterix et Obelix for some reason! I looks almost like an old school cartoon released in HD haha! The animations are fluid and the game overall looks pretty unique! The music is also really nice, definitely fits the game. I don't have that many things to say about the game except that I can't wait for the release of the full version, i'll definitely get it that's for sure!
56. Madden NFL 17 [16/20]
- Xbox One - So that was my first NFL game and I have to say that i'm pretty unfamiliar with american football since i'm European. It took me quite some time to figure out the rules and then how to play lol but I did enjoy the game a lot! I'm not the biggest American football fan, I do find it a little bit boring and slow to watch however as a game it was pretty fun tbh! Ngl I think I only won like 5 games during the entire season lol, tbh it was kinda annoying how sometimes I was almost about to make a touchdown then the game starts to simulate and my team doesn't scores however the other team always scores while simulating =/. Graphically I also think it's one of the weakest compared to Fifa, NBA and NHl, especially the character creation which is imo pretty limited, but it still looks really good so it's like an issue or anything.
57. Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 [17/20]
- Playstation 3 - So I won't have a lot to ay about this game because my opinion is basically the same as it was for Lego Harry Potter Year 1-4 except that I slightly like this one better. The graphics are a little bit better and I also like that they changed some of the spells, Aquamenti was really fun tbh! I also liked that they put battles into the games, even tho they were extremely easy. The game made once again a really good job to stay true to the movies while adding a lot of humor into it! It's definitely a game to have even if you're not fan of the Lego games.
58. F1 2015 [15/20]
- Xbox One - So I know absolutely nothing about Formula 1, don't really care about it irl but I like racing games so I thought i'd try this one since I'v never played a F1 game before. The first few hours of playing I legit thought I missed a button to turn or drift or do something idk because it was literally impossible for me to turn in a corner. After a few races I finally started to get the hang of the controls which are honestly pretty good, just takes some time to get used to them. This game definitely is a simulator and not an arcade game, maybe that's why it was so hard for me to play it at the beginning since this is my first time playing a racing simulator. I liked the game, but I did get a bit bored after like half of the competition, the races where very similar looking, and the only one I truly liked was I think Malaysia (the one during the night).
59. Mass Effect 2 [20/20]
- Xbox 360 - Mass Effect 2 is the definition of a PERFECT sequel. This game is simply incredible. First of all it corrected every small issues that the first game had gameplay wise (like the mako) but also added some new features that made the game even better (for example being able to really sprint and not just vaguely run a little faster lol and also changing the way health works). Graphically the game is also a lot better, the first one was already stunning but the locations were a bit similar to each other. The locations in this game are way more iconic imo, I loved Omega especially the Afterlife, Illium was also STUNNING, I had to stop multiple times just to look at how beautiful everything was! I also liked the citadel a lot more in this game, it was much more alive even if it was a bit smaller. But what made this game so good is the new characters! At first I was worried about not having my previous squad mates with me especially Kaidan (who ended up being the only one with Liara who didn't join me haha) but all these new characters are just so amazing! Jacob and Miranda were ok, I didn't really care about Grunt either but Mordin (<3), Samara, Jack, Thane, EDI and Legion are all such unique characters that you just can't help but love them! The story was great but it's really getting to know each characters that makes the real story. [SPOILER ALERT] I was also able to save all my team during the suicide mission (which btw was probably one of the most iconic scene I've seen in a video game!) so I ended the game on a very high note! So yeah this game definitely won me over, I knew I was said to be a good game but definitely didn't expect it to be that amazing!
60. NBA Live 2016 [16/20]
- Xbox One - First of all, I'm a big NBA fan and basketball in general so contrary to most of the other sports game I play (except skateboarding and wrestling games) I'm pretty familiar with the teams and players, so I can't tell if they fucked them up or not haha. Tbh graphically the game is really pretty, however I can't talk about Live without comparing it to 2k, in this case 2k16, and while I don't think the graphics are a lot better in 2K16, the animations are way more realistic, which makes 2k16 imo prettier to look at in general. Gameplay wise the game is good, it's pretty easy to pick up, I do have some issues with some of the camera angles tho but it's not that serious. I do think the games lacks a story mode, because the career mode is pretty boring, and I also wish they added historic/classic teams like 2K does, I love playing with past players so having none of them in the game is definitely a negative point for me. The "character creation" is also trash, you can just choose a face and that's it like I don't understand why FIFA has a bomb ass character creation mode and not Live. Overall it is a good basketball game but once you compare it to 2k you realize that it lacks a good amount of content (smart move to add the WNBA in live 18 tho, really hyped about that even tho I don't really watch WNBA).
61. Prototype [15/20]
- Xbox 360 - I've had this game for so long and I actually started it a few years ago, but I started again this year because I remembered it being quite fun. So while I liked the game, it does have a few negatives. First of all, why is it so dated? It's not ugly, but it's FAR from being graphically impressive for a game that came out in 2009, same year when Uncharted 2 came out. It does have a lot of people running around the streets tho which is a plus, however the city is SO boring, everything looks the same and there no colors at all. The gameplay is really fun tho, all the different attacks and just running on the buildings really makes you feel like a super hero. I hate the fighting system in the game tho, a lot of time I missed the ennemie because the camera randomly locked someone else instead, it may be just me not being good at the game tho. The story is also extremely uninteresting, but I don't think they were going for a deep ass story anyway. I do want to play the sequel tho because it does look way better and the graphics were my main issue with this game in the first place.
62. WWE 2K16 [16/20]
- Xbox One - I'm a big wrestling fan and used to play with the old WWE games on ps2 with my friend a long time ago and I remembered them being super fun, however this is the first WWE game I've played since. The roster is good, the mains are here, however a lot of them look awful tbh. This is the game's main issue, the graphics, which are SO dated tbh. It's not ugly, but for a game that came out in 2015 it's definitely not that great, especially when you compare it to NBA 2K16. Other than that the game is pretty good, there's a lot of game modes and the gameplay is great (even tho the blocking is awfully hard to master imo!).
