Great atmosphere and graphics, amazing characters and dialogue, good story. Gameplay-wise there is not much to it, but I feel like next to all the pros that doesn't really matter. This game made me excited and relaxed at the same time. I highly recommend it.

This might be the single best superhero game one could ever play. Seriously.

Pretty much the same as Arkham Asylum except better at almost everything.

Feels a bit old and unpolished due to its age, but still a good instalment of the Arkham series.

Very enjoyable game for casual gamers and completionists, with an amazing vibe for anyone that enjoys the Harry Potter world.
I hope more games of this calibre will come to the wizarding world.

The story was a bit hard to follow sometimes as the narrative wasn't always providing the most clear information, but by the end it all makes sense. Very cool setting, satisfying and challenging gameplay, great soundtrack, can't wait for the next one.

They took the previous game and somehow made it even better. A bit short and sweet, but all the more fun. The Tinkerer was a bit annoying though. Otherwise a perfect experience.

My review is negative for a number of reasons. That's not to say that this game is bad, but I don't feel like I really had a good experience with it. It was fun, down to the basics, but the game as a whole feels kind of rubbish, which might be a bit of a strong word, but still.

Horizon Zero Dawn is your typical, story driven open-world game with RPG elements, loads of side missions (which I couldn't be asked to even try to complete), and even more basic collectibles. The world is nice, the graphics are pretty, the story is okay, and the gameplay is, well, not quite the best. The combat system is boring, stealth, which could have been good is sadly underused, crafting and hunting are a hassle, cutscenes are pre-rendered at 30fps, loading times are way too long, and the optimization is pretty bad as a whole. Sound design straight up infuriates me in this game. Everything is either way too loud, or way too silent. There are only 3 sound options, music, speech and sound effects, and one of those 3 always overlaps the other 2. Not to mention the sound quality for some things is compressed like in an old Assassin's Creed game. Boss fights are just you shooting arrows at the weakpoint of a giant robot with interruptions by the clunky crafting system (because you ran out of arrows) until after long minutes of rapid-fire, the machine unsatisfyingly collapses and one of those crappy cutscenes play.

I would say this game is definitely a hit or miss. For me it was a miss, but not by much. I really liked some elements of it, but ultimately, the cons just outnumbered the pros. Buy at a discount, otherwise I do not recommend it.

If you like The Lord of The Rings or if you are even slightly interested in the universe it takes place in, this is a must play game. I didn't know a game could have so many fun and cool abilities to unlock despite having only 20 main missions.

This game was almost good for about 3 weeks after release ("almost" because of the connectivity issues, and because of those issues the game felt dead). After those 3 weeks, it has felt painfully like a reskin of Forza Horizon 4, on every level. FH4 even had better houses, a better map, since the seasons changing kept it exciting in my opinion.

That said, Forza Horizon 5 is still a really good and quality car game, but it should have offered more, and I feel like the new Hot Wheels DLC just adds insult to injury, that injury being that this game barely offered anything new.
