1st Year of Next Gen (9th generation)
Great year for First Person Shooters (Halo, CoD, Battlefield etc.)
Left & Back 4 Co-Op
Time loops again and again
Cross gen craziness
EA Originals doing work
Remasters Reloaded
PS4 Pro
Positives:
+ Very pretty and stable on PS4 Pro (Small size too)
+ Controls well, gameplay feels alright
+ Great looking interiors
+ Good atmosphere
+ Some of the characters look really good as well.
+ Set in Romania (extra point from me there), and seems to be fairly authentic at times. Also, has sarmale and mici.
+ The one super scary level (feels Silent Hill)
+ Major Resident evil 4 vibes (though overall not as good)
+ All sorts of secrets to be discovered and backtrack to
+ Glad they went back to Chris's older face
+ It's a fun video game ass video game that kept me engaged from start to finish.
+ Model viewers and concept art for unlocking at the end which is always a cool extra
Negatives:
- Wished the soundtrack was a bit more unique, should have leaned into some more traditional Romanian instruments and sounds.
- This series always goes off the rails towards the end and this entry is no different (I did like it more then 7's later half)
- The story and writing is not particularly good
- Sacrifices A LOT of believably, really "jumps the shark" in this entry...or should I say "chops the hand"
- Wished some of the areas were a bit more fleshed out and slightly expanded.
- The boss fights were just ok and always felt like they were so cramped with so very little space to maneuver.

PS4 Pro
Positives:
+ A great package: 3 good games with all their DLC's included (100's of hours of content)
+ Some of the better remasters out there, all 3 games look and run great still to this day
+ Carry on your character through all 3 games is such a good fit here
+ Has a good recap comic to help others get up to speed and make choices if they want to play the sequels
+ Added some quality of life improvements in mass effect 1
Negatives:
- Some of the cutscenes had weird frame drops, probably tied to the fact that they were prerecorded
- Some low quality audio in Mass Effect 1
- Mass Effect 1 still is pretty weak in the gameplay department, but any more changes and it would have to be a remake.
PS4 Pro
Positives:
+ Neat set up for the story and world
+ The acting isn't half bad
+ I actually liked the character I created
+ The characters you meet are more interesting then I expected
+ Environments can look quite pretty at times
Negatives:
- Framerate isn't so great on PS4 Pro
- Interface is slow
- Always a small pause before and after a cutscene, which really ruins the fluidity
- Fairly repetitive gameplay loop (recommend playing with others)
- Matchmaking didn't work as well as in other games of the like (Destiny, Division etc.)
- Encountered the same enemy types a few to many times
- Audio implementation didn't feel so great
- Soundtrack didn't do much for me (though the main theme can be a bit catchy)
Positives:
+ No guns or killing
+ Neat style and presentation
+ Fast fun matches
+ Easy to pick up and play, tough to master
+ Turning yourself into a ball
+ Better then I thought it would be
+ Good performance
Negatives:
(in progress)
Positives:
+ That damned soundtrack, man.
+ Plays and looks well on PS4
+ Voice acting is solid
+ Some neat boss designs
+ Interesting story, characters and world
Negatives:
- Some amateurish game design at times
- The gameplay just isn't very engaging
- Feels like a chore at times

Positives:
+ Very good performance on PS4 Pro, good resolution and frame-rate. Plays really nice, kudos to the team.
+ Werewolves are cool, need more games with them.
+ The intro scene was neat
+ Smashing as the big Werewolf is fun for a while
+ That one main menu track is pretty cool
Negatives:
- Animations are quite stiff (low budget yes)
- Gameplay is pretty repetitive
- Story is as basic as they come
- Main character is a bore, same as most of the others
- The acting is passable at best
- Feels like some wasted potential considering the source material
- Wished you could takedown in regular wolf form
- environments get boring fast
(unfinished)
+ Controls well
