It's good. I have not finished it yet, but I have to say that I enjoyed Persona 4 just a little bit more (at least so far). This game seems very heavily focused on the social aspect in comparison to the other games in the series. Definitely worth it, but maybe not the game I'd recommend starting with.

Reviewed after 100% completion.

It's a shame really. Sonic 1, 2, CD, and 3 & Knuckles remastered in widescreen by Christian Whitehead and Headcannon. What could possibly go wrong. The classic games are wrapped within Hedgehog engine which is only used for the menus making it unplayable on extremely weak hardware, Mission mode is extremely barebones and follows the formula of placing platforms and walls everywhere with little to no slopes that these classic games are known for. Classic mode is just the remastered version cropped to 4:3 with lives added back in, the former of which cannot be enabled any other way. The classic music for 3 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 zones were remade due to licensing issues. While the composition is not bad, the instrument choice is not good. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has a plethora of bugs and collision issues that were not present in the original game. It appears to me that the developers were rushed to meet a deadline (Something which they admitted to). The keyboard control scheme is abysmal (what 2D platformer doesn't let you use arrow keys for movement).

It isn't all bad though. At the end of the day, these are 4 amazing classics that are more accessible than ever. Also of note, if you are looking for a better way to experience these games, there are decompilations of Sonic 1, 2, and CD that use the data files for this game. Sonic 3 AIR is the definitive way to play Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but may be more difficult to set up since the Genesis Classics version was delisted from Steam on Origin's release day (kinda scummy).

If you grew up with all these games, you already know you can bang them out quickly. But for those of you new to the franchise, there is a lot of replay value. Much of it is disappointing to me, being a long-time fan.

Starfield is a really weird one for me. The premise is great, but execution is a little bit iffy and leaves a lot to be desired.

There are a bunch of positives, the setting is interesting with an almost limitless amount of locations to explore, people to talk to, and quests to complete. As a huge fan of mass effect and bioware and obsidians Knights of the Old Republic setting, I was very excited to see Bethesda take on this type of setting. It's just a shame that nothing I experienced compelled me to keep playing. Dialogue and dialogue options are definitely moving in a much better direction, but it doesn't matter when most people don't have anything interesting to say in the first place.

One location I came across was really neat, it was an abandoned space station casino overrun by space pirates where you had to hack into the server and enter the winning numbers to win the jackpot. It was a lot of fun, but the reward of just over 1000 credits left me feeling like I had just wasted my time.

Some people may like this, and if you play it, don't bother landing on the surface of planets. There is nothing going on down there from what I was able to see.

I can't speak on the base building, as it I didn't bother. I hated it in Fallout 4, and didn't see a point to trying it again. And ship building leaves a lot to be desired, why are there no rounded pieces?

This was my first introduction to the Mass Effect series, and it left me wanting more when the story finally ended. Great Bioware experience.

Solid follow-up to Just Cause 2. Does not disappoint whatsoever. My only complaint is a strange one, with the addition of a wing suit, getting around is so much easier, faster, cooler, and convenient. So much so, that it can be difficult to visit previous titles. I recommend playing Just Cause 3, but please do yourself a favor and at least play Just Cause 2 first.

This is basically just a Michael Bay movie in video game form.
