A genuinely well put together remake of the RPG classic, Persona 3 reload adds so much new content and new story beats that even if you have played the original versions tons it's still worth a replay with a fresh coat of paint for these new sections alone, the new voice actors do such an amazing job that honestly makes this my preferred voice cast for P3.

One of the most charming video games I've played in a good while, if you want something a bit more arcadey and simple fun this is a really good game especially if you've played the OG Katamari Damacy, if you had to pick between Reroll and this one I'd say get Reroll first then get this and play it a while after youve finished this, the gameplay between the two is very similar but thats what you want with this series, highly reccomend it comes down on sale very cheap digitally and at retail so no harm.

I cannot reccomend this game, I had alot of hope for a new 2D sonic, but this is just Sonic 4 again, the physics are completely borked, Jun Sunoe found the Sonic 4 synth meaning the soundtrack is super bland sounding, with like 3 tee lopes tracks in the entire game, required epic games account for the online play? The level design is super bland, the bosses are slow and super boring, slow gimmicks in later levels and ive already encountered 4 game breaking bugs (Clipping, getting stuck on terrain, graphical bugs and audio issues) even if these do get ironed out in a patch your better off using the money to buy yourself Sonic Origins Plus and Sonic Mania Plus and maybe picking this up in a few years when its on sale.

PEAK FICTION

A pretty average remaster of a masterpiece of a game, this was my first time with P3P and I am overall mixed on it, the combat is more engaging due to the party control but there are alot of balance oversights resulting in an easier game, but my biggest gripe overall is the presentation I get the cutbacks with portable but alot of really crucial scenes are just softened due to the presentation, if your gunna play through P3 emulate the OG on PS2 and if you have to use a cheat code to control the party members because that really is the definitive way to experience this story, as for the remaster I mean its OK for $30 you get 60FPS, more compressed audio and difficulty options similar but lesser to the P4G remaster, as for the artwork its brutally smushed up by the AI upscaling, key moments in the story are bootleg paintings with how smothered they are by the scuffed AI upscale and the lack of manual skill inheritance makes this release just EH, like I can see this remaster being worth it on switch but for PC / Xbox just use PCSX2 both systems are capable of it (Xbox if you use the Dev mode which is $20 and easy to set up) as for PS4/5 users I guess but as someone whos played P3 I enjoyed this release purely for the P3P content which is cool and this release is pretty good at this but do not let this be your first experience of P3, the original release does have some jank in regards to combat but nothing more really than what you're gunna get used to this.

FF7 Crisis core is one of my favourite games every made, being a prequel to FF7 I was really excited to play this remake Square enix did a really good job keeping the OG games "soul" intact with the janky animations and slot wheels and all the other fun stuff I genuinely mean it I dont think I would of played this if they removed the fun small things that made crisis core what it was back in 2007, I am really confused as to why they changed the VA's though, some lines are made too serious or awkward with the new direction, hearing zack yell shut up and his other lines doesnt hit the same as it did before but the new combat and visuals make for one of the best remakes ive played in years, if you love FF7 or action JRPGS you owe it to yourself to give this a try as a nice fun 15 hour adventure

Man what a game, Lake fepard has always been a developer ive been excited for and watched their releases since Spark 2's pre-release, Spark 2 was weird at first with the jump to 3D with hints of DMC combat, and it really was a joy to play with some rough edges here and there but still impressive, and Spark 3 really feels like the ultimate version of that concept, the controls are super tight and responsive never feeling automated and you always have total control over high speed and platforming, the combat is really fun and challenging whilst being accessable for new players, the visuals this time around are such a crazy good step up, Spark 3 tries some new things with the visuals and it's crazy fun, super looking forward to the follow up game, if you are a fan of 3D platformers or 3D sonic games definitely give this one a shot, it's some of the most fun in a platformer i've had in a good while and it's crazy cheap too.

I really liked this game alot a solid really fun AA platformer that had alot of really awesome set pieces and great visuals, ran into a nasty softlock but Im sure that will get patched, the 100% route is fun and I loved the combat too, really hope this sells enough for the devs to continue the series because I really enjoyed this alot, I'd totally reccomend this if your in the mood for a fun 3D platformer

I cannot safely at this point reccomend sonic origins without a patch in place, for starters the drop dash implementation in Sonic 1 2 and CD is borked despite the original mania code being in the game, it locks your jump direction, slows all your momentum and has a improper animation. the Collision is jankier in CD, I literally teleported from past into the future but in the floor, needed to restart, Sonic 3 has absolute crap new renditions of the prototype / PC music DESPITE CLEAN GENESIS OFFICIAL RENDITIONS OF THESE TRACKS EXISTING. the games also have a crappy smooth filtering applied with no option to turn it off or even a CRT filter which CHEAPER ports of these games have, other than that I am glad the taxman mobile sonic versions are preserved in a pretty ok collection but man these do need proper patches, I shouldnt have to resort to mods to fix a 2022 collection of genesis ports, whilst fans have offered free and legal ways to play definitively better versions of these games its all about accesability and frankly some work does need to be done still on origins, also simple stuff like a toggle for lives in anniversary mode would be cool and please SEGA bring the original genesis prototype tracks back in and fix that drop dash, it genuinely resulted into the game feeling jank, which no other port of sonic 1 2 and CD have achieved EVEN the GBA sonic port at least thats consistently bad but I feel im fighting the game with the drop dash.

I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS, Immediate first impression on PC, firstly controller support is BROKEN inputs do nothing but move menus and back out so the Local co-op functionality is completely destroyed (Using X-input - D- Input - DS4 Windows, Switch Pro Controller, you know name it Ive tried), The online is broken too on PC cant detect any matches online after constant refreshing and even changing download region, THANKFULLY Reprobed should be fine as this is a different developer making this online component but such a massive shame as I was looking forward to playing those arcadey game modes from 1 on multiplayer with one of my favourite games of all time, I would watch for patches or just as is now I wouldnt install it atleast on PC heard the console versions are fine but this is just not even functional.
