My reasons for the new entries placings.
Tomb Raider 2013 - It's the first time that I have ever played a Tomb Raider Game, and I have got to say that I really enjoyed the Game. I'll be honest and say that it exceeded my expectations of what I would think of the Game.
It made it's survival mechanics a lot friendlier than I was expecting too, thankfully for my personal taste.
I'm now a converted Lara Croft fan.
Crisis Beat - It's a simple Beat Em Up/Fighting Game that was on a reasonably small budget (I think) back in the PS1 days.
But Crisis Beat just gets the basics down, which is just to be fun in every department.
Sure there are technically better Games than Crisis Beat in certain areas, but I honestly would say that there's never a dull moment in Crisis Beat.
Raging Loop - This one will probably be more divisive in the sense that it's a Death Game Mystery Horror Visual Novel, with not really too much traditional gameplay happening.
And tbf Raging Loop does have it's flaws (although I will defend the ending,) but I do ultimately think that the interesting characters, cool Horror aesthetic, the tense atmosphere during the "Feasts" and the mystery itself were all more than worth putting up with some dodgy pacing in my view.
And just to add, my Brother technically played the Game, but as it's mostly text, I feel like there's not really that much of a different experience between what both of us were experiencing with the Game.
My three favourite characters personally were Kiyonosuke, Chiemi, and Haruaki.
Limbo - Limbo is a really well made Puzzle Platformer Game with a cool Horror aesthetic (or Gothic if you prefer.)
But Limbo is a brilliant Game, I do knock points off for a few of the puzzles near the end of the Game needing me to use a walkthrough, because the Game didn't really make it even remotely understandable what the puzzle required you to try and accomplish.
But it's a bit of a nitpick tbf, it's a great Game overall.
Hood Story: Kaito Yamazaki - An Indie Gangster Game that takes elements of the Yakuza franchise and the Streets Of Rage franchise.
Hood Story is a lot of fun to play through, and some of the characters made me laugh with some of the things that they'd say to each other.
It was for me at least an 8/10, and I don't hand that out very easily to modern Games.
AI: The Somnium Files - Nirvana Initiative - I've already posted my opinion on this Game on the What are you currently playing thread in more detail, so I will just be more brief about it on this thread.
Ryuki's half of the Game was really strong, it weren't quite as good as the first Game imo, but it was very respectable effort.
Then we have Mizuki's route in the Game, we would be here all day if I tried to explain my issues with her character in the Game.
Filler content probably sums it up the best with where her route went wrong for my taste.
Prototype - It's a mixed bag with Prototype for me, but I would ultimately say that the repetitive level design just really started dragging the second half of the Game down for me personally.
I know that it's not the only Video Game to ever have that particular issue, but I just personally had issues with their repetitive elements.
Hard Edge - Hard Edge had potential for my taste, I kind of liked the sound of a old-school PS1 Resident Evil styled Game that wasn't actually a Survival Horror Game, it did sound like an interesting idea.
And tbf, there are parts of the Game that are fun in a goofy sort of way.
But the combat was even more clunky for me than the first Resident Evil, which is too broken for my taste.
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition - Lu Bu's mode is fun, but Cao Cao's just dragged for me, plus his final mission was really unfair to me in a way that just will be hard to explain on the Internet.
Injustice: Gods Among Us - It was just a bit dull imo. There's nothing really much else to add.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 - This was my very first COD experience, and I just couldn't connect with the Game.
And I do know that this Game had AI generated content on some of their online stuff, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the campaign mode also had AI generated content attached to it, especially because of how bland it was.
Saints Row Reboot - Unlike Forspoken where I think that the Game got harshly attacked, Saints Row Reboot instead does deserve every bit of criticism that it gets.
Especially when I have just recently played Saints Row 3 and SR3 understands what a joke actually is, and how to at least attempt a joke.
An absolute travesty imo.
Manhunt - GTA camera meets Stealth gameplay was severely irritating to try and play through, surprisingly much weaker than I was expecting the Game to be.
Shenmue - Irritating Gameplay, possibly some of the worst that I have ever experienced.
The story looked interesting though.
Observer - Quite possibly the dullest Game that I have ever played.
I will consider second chances for some of my lower ranked Games if the mood ever takes my fancy.
But for now I will be leaving these very unique experiences in the past.
