What a tough game to review, on one hand gameplay is fantastic on the other writing is uhhh lets dissect this with spoilers ahead so be aware:

Honestly playing as Grace was a blast from past despite she herself being a newcomer, picking the ink ribbon option from diffuculties she plays exactly like old school resident evil games that sweet tense exploration and puzzle solving with limited save is there, although carrying emily around was unneccesarly annoying overall her gameplay with stalkers was a nostalgic yet fresh experience

Capcom's resident golden boy is back and his gameplay is mixture of RE4 and 5. I know this sounds like game having an identity crisis but Capcom suprisingly mixed both elements very well whenever you get tired of one other one freshens up the gameplay. Parry from RE4R is back and my one and only complaint about the system is fixed. It now rewards timing and works organically instead of randomly jumpscaring you with a button as If we are still in PS2 and the axe now needs to sharpened instead of being tossed out or repaired as that part is for Grace's self defense items

First half of the story is fine, its geniuenly interesting and intense to go through the second half is however is basiaclly series of poor writing decisions and retcons, yea lemme just kill HUNK in the most boring way possible add a wesker clone and retcon spencer then add a fake choice at the end.

Yes the choice is fake couse 3 outcomes are gonna happen on that:
1 - You gonna trust Leon couse who the ♥♥♥♥ trusts a recently retconned villian
2 - Your jaw is on the floor from the retcon and decided to pull a middle finger to writers and choose the canon ending
3 - You are me and survived Mortal Kombat 1 and Life is Strange Double Exposure and took the lazy retcon and writing into account and translated the word Elpis (means hope) and chose the correct answer omg such quirky writing 🤪🤪🤪

Overall it has the best gameplay and pacing of the franchise thats period but story is straight up ♥♥♥♥ from butt in the second half and for a game that heavily advertised on the narrative thats a major point reduction
Get the game on sale and have the time of the life but dont pay 52 dolars for it simple as that.

Prequel to the first game Fear Effect 2 is simply an upgraded version of the first in terms of gameplay with a longer story to go thorugh however there are few things we need to cover before the actual game:

If you played the original games PC release you'll know that its an emulatation instead of an actual port and this is exactly the same for the second game, it gives rewind CTR filter widescreen and improved controls along with save states If you dont wish to use the games own system however there is one big issue with this game specifiaclly, improved controls can ♥♥♥♥ the bed in some intances where the camera moves around, see despite everything being pre rendered FE2 zooms out the envoirment gradually or move the camera around to give more cinematic approach, this works like a charm in tank controls but for the modified ones it confuses the charachter you are playing that I often found myself swapping to tank controls for these sections.
I HAVE TO NOTE THOUGH: This being an emulation means it auto swaps discs which was nice QOL for first game but for this its a GODSEND, og game comes in 4 discs and I remember as a kid playing this on a ps1 and disc order of FE2 wasnt 1-2-3-4 it was some ♥♥♥♥ like 1-2-3-1-3-2-4 like dude what was that lmao. Really glad that is gone now.

Story structure is the same as first game, group of anti heroes are in for a dirty job only for that to be flipped over their heads though this game is more action and puzzle focused compare to the pure survival horror nature of first game, its also the game where devs confirm that Hana is our main protaganist considering you spend first half of the game with her and how much once again story centers around her, they also made her even more snarky and flirty in this game so I guess I wasnt the only one that was reminded of Lara Croft when I saw her in first game and eidos wasnt gonna let their golden girl have any competition during that era of gaming though that didnt stopped her from stealing her wardrobe in second half of the game. My two complaints about the story is that one of the things I liked about original game was that stakes were extremly high, game did not shy away from killing of central charachters left right and center but this being prequel they sadly can't do that and I liked the touchy horror of the first game more but this one still holds on its own and a interesting enough ride to through

Gameplay wise its the exact same as first game with more responsive controls and more toys to play and new types of enemies to play with puzzles being more complex but a lil bit to drawn out at times, same goes for backtracking, backtracking in disc 1 was really tedious but once it picks up its a quick ride not an easy one though despite being more action oritended the brutal diffuculty of first game is here even If its slightly lowered

Overall its a good action horror game to play and for the extremly cheap that it is in its a quite steal to go through so I definetly recommend it

What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tonal whiplash visiting this after the first game, Capcom took the resident evil complaints to heart and instead of trying to make a unique survival horror game they just turned it into a arcade shooter

Now even in this direction Dino Crisis is enjoyable game but not as polished as its predecessor with some of the more annoying mechanics and boss fights in the game with an ending so abrupt I couldnt believe the game ended

Get this on sale If you want to as its not a bad game but definetly not something I'll pay the full price for.

DO NOTE THAT:
For some weird ass reason this version has Enigma on it despite being a game thats been out for AGES so If you dont mind that get it from here If you DO mind it get it on sale via GOG as its essentially the same version except the dumbass DRM in it

What an absolute treat it was to revisit a classic like Dino Crisis, If Capcom is persistent on not remaking this franchise than least they could do is make them aviable on a modern platform HOWEVER Im gonna be bit cheeky in this review and say this:

If you want a dinasour themed survival horror game this is your best bet BUT this version of the game has Enigma on it despite being a re-relase of a game that is older than most players that are gonna buy this If you are okay with that go ahead and buy it at full price If you are not head over to GOG and pay the full price from there

both versions are the exact same game this one just has a DRM in it

Let's stop bullying the game for a sec and appreciate this reboot

finally that godforsaken 2 is gone

welcome back Overwatch, I missed you

Final test of skill and the last milking of the title by crystal that leans more into evasion and combat so an arena level actually fits this time

good for them to make this format work in a tiny package

I was not expecting something that is named "challange pack" to add a new mechanic into the game but here it is, as the name suggests its a more chaotic take on the challange levels style of level design with some random arena slapped on top of it

arena feels out of place but rest of the levels make it up

4 additinoal puzzle levels that is about the same diffucutly level as the mid parts of the base game.

Advent Rising is one of the biggest collosal failures I have ever played to a point its comical

I remember seeing ads for this game everywhere on the internet and every magazine imagineable when I was a kid and even heard it was advertised in theaters halo style in some countries and branded as a halo killer with its scifi setting and big open areas AND it had Orson ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Scott Card's name attached on to it. YES the writer of Ender's Game is somehow attached to this mess but why is it a mess you ask?

Let's start with: Tonally weird and abrupt. It has a lot of interesting ideas but never bothers to fully explore on them with a lukewarm cast at best.
Our protoganist Gideon is ehhh not the worst the thing but definetly way to tryhard at times especially when gains space magic
his fiance Olivia is so forgetable that I googled "advent rising girl" to remember her name so I can write it in this review
his brother Ethan is cool and their dynamic had some interesting themes to explore but never properly explored
And rest of the cast is rushed in their storytelling couse of the games breakneck pacing, in the entire campaign I only saw this game breath twice and one of them was prolouge oh and If you wonder about the spacemagic I mentioned earlier its quite litreally carbon copy of force and every power ever from star wars jedi academy and no Im not saying this to be cynical game tries to explain these powers ONCE and it does it so vaguegly that my brain immidietly went "oh its the force and its many cousins"
If all this sound off for a Orson Scott Card script thats couse he didnt wrote the entire game, he wrote some of the screenplays but majority of the story was written by the devs themselves

Becouse its labeled as a halo killer and main platform of choice was Xbox I decided to plug in my controller and play the game in its intended way only for my controller to annihalate the game and made me install a fan patch for it, appereantly controller support on this game is gamebreakingly broken. After a fan patch later I could finally hop in and play the game and gameplay is loop is essentially your typical action adventure affair, Gideon can use melee or wide range of weapons with acrobatics + space magic to fight with aliens with some basic platforming here and there. Now when I describe this type of gameplay your mind goes Ocarina of Time or Tomb Raider Legend right? where you lock onto an enemy and have 360 movement around them but camera is always locked onto that enemy WELL NO!. Camera spins each time you target a different in enemy and you swap targets via the second analog stick or mouse scroll on keyboard which means on crowded areas camera spins around so much that I actually got motion sickness and had to take a break from playing, crowded areas are really common on this game as well at times feeling like a purgotory then some intense space adventure but I digress. Platforming is also broken as gideon can get stuck basiaclly everywhere not to mention how unstable the game itself, its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess
Even the level design is weird like enemies are not placed as obstacles but like backround decorations as If they are houseplants so you can skip half the battles in this game by simply goin into the main path so much for that ACTION of Action Adventure


Overall Advent Rising is a big mess, it promised too much and tried way too hard to be a better halo and fell down so hard that getting a big name like Orson couldnt even helped them
Not worth its price which is quite tragic unless some maniac decides to buy the IP and remake the game from ground up

Remember when Sims games were enjoyable on their own without requiring 2000000 expansion packs? Ahh the memories

To me this is the last game this franchise has received as once 4 ♥♥♥♥ itself on the planet Sims became a soulless childrens cashgrab

If you want an open world sims experience that can give many hours of enjoyment before deciding to buy some EPs to expand the game, grab a copy of it
