36. Deponia (PS4): Rufus lives basically on a garbage planet, and hes looking for a way out to the paradise that is Elysium. So ima go ahead and start with that im not really a fan of point and click adventure games, so my review may be a lil more unfair than usual, but nevertheless its an average P&C game. I am not a fan of the main character at all, but to be fair I believe thats the point. The humor is alright, may be a moment or 2 that i actually laughed.
16: Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir
37. Sleeping Dogs: Wheels of Fury (Xbone): Man this game is fucking awesome! This may be a short 50 minute DLC but it just adds this fantastical awesome ass part to an already great game. Such fun in such a short amount of time
How do you type stars in a post?
Now I'm depressed. I always marvelled at the presentation skills of some posters, but now I know they use Google just like me. A magician should never reveal his tricks!
Thank you kindly.

38. Darksiders Warmastered Edition (PS4): Playing the second game first and getting pretty easily bored with it, i thought this was gonna be a mediocre series with some cool designs. But this first installment blew me, i love so much about it. The combat, the writing, and the designs just bring out the edgy 16 year old out of me, in a good way. Now that's not to say that this game doesn't have problems. i ran into about 1 game breaking glitch and 2 nearly game breaking glitches, but nevertheless i found ways around them. And the game did feel like it took a lil longer in certain areas, such as the freeing Azarel part. I can only praise this game for actually make me excited about retrying 2 and getting ready for the 3rd one.
39. Yu-Gi-Oh: Legacy of The Duelist (PS4): Play through the campaign of the Yu-Gi-Oh series as the Classic, GX (My favorite), 5D's, Zexal, and a tutorial to start with Arc-V. Game is an average video card game, not my favorite of the ones i have played, and it has really reminded how edgy and ridiculous the show was haha. But it was still fun to go through the original and GX seeing familiar faces and duels. And it showed me that 5D's, while everyone has stupid haircuts, its actually pretty cool with the rules and the series doesn't seem terrible. ARC-V seemed a lil too ridiculous to m, and i wasn't to much a fan of XYZ summoning, and i dread Pendulum summoning. That's the reason i really hate playing online. But besides that, few dozens of the cards out of thousands get animation which was a cool touch if it didn't cause the game to crap itself. But if you feel like dueling with NEARLY every card in the series, its an alright grab.
40. Mother Russia Bleeds (PS4): Played through this with my brother, love the aesthetic of it, music is pretty cool. Will say this game felt unfair at points haha, my brother and I just gave up at the end and went for the bad ending. Would recommend this if you're looking to play a fun ass beat 'em up with some friends.
41. Grand Kingdom (PS4): Played through the first main campaign and loved it ever since i got into the beta years ago. The music is enjoyable, art style is fine, and the game play is awesome if you're into tactical role playing games. The two major complaints i have against this game tho, one being a big one at that, is that there are these rival fights at the end of some missions after you defeat the villains, now this guy is part of the same team as you, in no way is he a villain, but if you lose against him, you have restart the entire mission again. I would think they were just possible win/lose fights, but nope if you lose them you gotta restart the entirety of the mission. Now this happens in the last mission of the campaign, which is the longest mission that's basically divided in three parts. I went through the first part pretty easily, the second part is pretty tough, tough enough to where i was down to one last guy of my four against the final boss. and after that epicness i lose in a 'friendly' fight among friendly rivals, and i had to restart the mission all over again. One other complaint i have is that this game gives you 'choices' but there's only one 'choice' to choose, like whats even the point? Besides those two points, the game is great and an awesome pick-up if you feel playing a niche lil tactical semi-fantasy game. Just make sure you choose where you wanna stay, PS4 or Vita, because unfortunately there is no cross-save, which would have been nice.
42. Severed (PSVita): This game is sick, I really can't say that I have any complaints against it. The music is cool, the art design is awesome, and the combat is original and fun. The boss battles work well and they don't tend to be to hard or to easy.
43. Parasite Eve (PS1): First game of my horror month backlog, while the game itself isn't that scary, the designs of the monsters are horrific and awesome! The monster designs remind of the 1980's film The Thing (My favorite horror movie) and the beautiful FMV's show the transformations in such a way that still holds up today. The music is amazing, gives kind of a Kingdom Hearts feel, and the stages of this game are done well. Some of the complaints i would have tho is, while the game play is awesome and intricate, some of the fights and the areas that the fights take place feel kinda cheap, unfair, and hard to counter/avoid. And the end game is so long and kinda unexpected to where I wasn't able to fully take advantage of the upgrade system that takes place in the police station. Besides those points, the game is amazing and still holds up to this day.
44. Zombi (PS4): Next game in the month of Shocktober; This game is not a perfect 5/5, but its also even less than perfect making it not even a 4/5. There are so many bugs and a good amount being nearly game breaking. Which is unfortunate because this game is awesome, it has the pre-Salt and Sanctuary idea of losing items upon death, so now kill your previous character to get those ideas back. The dialogue of this game is interesting but can be confusing. The main menu music is so creepy, and nice. Playing this game i could feel that the ideal way to play this is on the WiiU, but this port is an alright demo of a pretty cool game.
45. The Evil Within (Xbox 360): 3rd game as part of this personal festive month of horror everything. I played this game about 3 years ago with an old friend and stopped around chapter 12, and came back to it not to long ago. So this review may not be to accurate, but shall be written anyway. I remember playing this game and thinking that it had a strong start and kept its survival horror personality for a good amount of chapters. The game starts with a pretty boring generic character that seems to have lil to no emotion, unless the read the lil files around the game. I honestly thought i was reading about some one else's life every now and then, because it just didn't fit this cardboard of a character that is Sebastian Castellanos. Anyways this game has a great art-style and aesthetic throughout the entire game, having an awesome main menu and amazing loading screens with the game having kinda generic monsters, but cool bosses, that have a cool meaning behind them. Starting out as a great stealthy survival horror it apparently overstays it welcomes as the game decides to kick into high gear as this ridiculous action game, mowing down people and running through the city on still the little amount of ammo you're given, and then dropping into the third act of just being a stealth game with no more horror. The music of the game is nothing to write home about and the story of the story feels at points confusing and hammered to the point to where you make sure you know who the boring main villain is. The main thing i had against this game is that its too long and it just feels that it drags on in the end, not really making the ending satisfying. But the thing about is that it had so much potential, and unfortunately it felt kinda shaped into a game that was alright-good at best. Here's to hoping that the sequel took the amazing things from this game and shaped an even better one.
5 La Mulana: Amazing game. I really liked the whole story and how it was presented not only through text but also through puzzles. Some of the puzzle are a bit too cryptic to the point where I don't even know how some people found out the solutions.
46. Condemned: Criminal Origins (Xbox 360): 4th game of shocktober, while not very scary it is still quite part of the thriller genre. And i love the concept of instead of monsters, you're fighting criminals and drug addicts that just seem so far gone they might as well be monsters. Using everything as a weapon, going from desk boards to sledgehammers, and the occasional gun really adds a good amount of fun and variety to the combat in this game. but while that is fun and all, the combat is pretty janky and feels unfair at points to where i couldnt really tell what killed me. The story is ok, and gets weird and supernatural at the end, which i feel the story could have done without. The voice ating was not very good, but was not terrible. The investigations segments of the game are awesome, but it felt very limited being that you can only activate it during parts of the game. I was able to beat this like 2-3 days before Halloween so i wanna go ahead and sneak 1 more shocktober game into my backlog before I'm done.
47. Alien Isolation (PS4): 5th and last game of shocktober that i squeezed in at last minute, and i feel that its a strong one to end on.
47. Alien Isolation (PS4): 5th and last game of shocktober that i squeezed in at last minute, and i feel that its a strong one to end on. This game is probably one of my favorite survival horror games, doing basically everything right for horror fans and especially Alien fans, as I am of the first 3. The moments and the design just reeks fan service of immaculate design, and i love it, containing probably one of my favorites moments in gaming. The game still looks amazing and the audio design is awesome. This game also proved me wrong in that horror games shouldn't be around this length, because it felt like this kept the pace goin strong in every mission and intense around every turn. The only complaint is that i felt the last ending scene was a lil weak, but not bad.
48. Burly Men At Sea (PS4): Fun lil interactive story. I was able to collect one story, and may go back for more. But that's all to say it about it, not much else.
49. Mad Max (PS4): I'm going into this saying that I love the Mad Max series, and that this game captures what i love about those movies. The nitro speed of the races, the bad ass combat moves, and the destruction of the wasteland. The wasteland is beautiful crawling with dangerous war boys, barely surviving scavengers, and much more. The combat is pretty simple AssCreed/Arkham style, but feels so intense and strong with moves such as blasting someone in the gut with your shotgun to intimidate enemies and ending with bad ass suplexes. Destroying nearly everything in your way with harpoons, your trusty boom-stick, thunderpoons, etc. Now i really wanted to give this game a 4/5, maybe even a 5/5, but there is to much to keep me from doing so. This game has bugs, some minor like the pause menu being broken at times, but some that are very much game breaking. Bugs such as enemy A.I. stopping progression by not doing what they are supposed to do, Threat levels not going down when conditions are and the game must be restarted, and trophy blocking bugs such as balloons being stuck on non-real rope and wont ascend. so unfortunately with all these negatives I'm just gonna stick with a
50. Valkyria Chronicles Remastered: Enter The Edy Detachment (PS4): Decided to come back to this game and finish up the side stories, and totally forgot that this game had DLC, so i decided to finish up this 2-in-1 rather challenging mission that took me a couple tries because people kept bum rushing into my base, but i managed to prevail with an A actually, so i was able to see apparently what was the best, which was hilarious. While a pretty short lived DLC, it was fun and challenge worthy.
52. Prison Architect: Xbox One Edition (Xbox One): Well I finished my goal of 52 games/DLC expansions of the year, and it was unfortunate to end on this note. I dont know if its just Xbone version of this game, but it was filled with nothing but bugs and basically progression stopping ones. Which is unfortunate because this game has some potential but its definetly better played on PC Im assuming. The analog sticks feel weird and uncomfortable for this game, so better played with a mouse and keyboard. Besides all the shit, the game is cool with its kinda surprising dark tones and fun management systems. worth checking on PC.
53. Kingdom Hearts Final Mix (PS4): Ima go ahead and pseudo count this one, since i have beaten this one on OG PS2, but this "Remix" version of the game does include some new content such as new cutscenes, weapons, abilities, enemies, and even a new boss that was pretty fun. So I feel like that's enough to count as at least an expansion of the game, and honestly makes it the best version of the game. Still a classic, such a wave of nostalgia hit me playing through this, nearly shed a tear at the end. The only thing that made this game more annoying than the original was the grind for the Ultima Keyblade. But nevertheless, this game makes me highly anticipated for the new one coming out in just a few months.
54. Dragon Ball FighterZ (PS4): So I remember posting about this game before it was announced being more than hyped about it. Got it day one and loved it, but it was sly of being perfect. Honestly i wanted more of what Hyper Dragon Ball Z was in the quality that FighterZ is in. But that doesn't make this game bad in anyway, it works amazingly, looks beautiful and probably lands in my top 10 fighting games. What I'm mostly reviewing tho, is the story mode of the game. Now Ima go ahead and say, you're more than likely to enjoy the story if you're a DB fan. I had a friend that's more than less than that, and he pretty just bum rushed the story skipping all the cutscenes after watching the less than interesting beginning premise of the game. Now as a fan myself, i found the story to be dumb fun with awesome lil extra fan service, such as everyone getting together (even the villains) just to shit on Yamcha. I grinded a good amount, for the extra scenes, levels, tried to guess the special battle links between characters and enjoyed them. The actual gameplay of the story tho, is similar to Dragon Ball Budokai 2 board game system, but not as enjoyable. I often found myself getting bored of the brain dead A.I. and would put the story with several months in between. But this doesn't the overall game itself, still awesome and i can only hope for more to come.
