A beautiful and ambitious remaster/remake, that is a buggy and unoptimized mess that doesn't run well on anything properly.
This is a rough game to review, on one hand, it is a remaster of my favourite Elder Scrolls game, i have spent hundreds of hours exploring Cyrodil completely captivated. The game payed for itself with the amount of joy and time i invested into it at the time. The remaster is beautiful and the work done is outstanding.
On the the other hand, Unreal Engine 5 is a horribly taxing software that renders the game stuttery, pop in galore and even on the best hardware, runs piss poorly at times. Even on Playstation 5 the issues are present and i pray to Hermaeus Mora that an update will address all issues soon, and to wipe my memory clean from the frustration i had to endure just to play the game at a pleasant frame rate without looking like potato mode.

Great game < Poorly optimized version.
BUYER BEWARE!

Wait until a patch is released (if there ever is one) to fix the current problems.
Play the original and just mod the heck out of it...... or, wait for that awesome Skyblivion Mod to be released for Skyrim.
Bet that will have less bugs overall then this game suffers from.

This game deserves more attention! It is one of the best anime souls likes i have ever played.
I was a huge fan of Code Vein, and i got immediate similar vibes from seeing the trailer for Khazan.
I know nothing about the Dungeon Fighter series, so i can't make too many comments on that, but for someone jumping into this world for the first time, i gotta say that it's dark, brutal and incredibly intriguing.
Gameplay is always king in a Souls like and this game doesn't disappoint, and the challenge can get pretty crazy at times.
Story is pretty cool and i hope to see other games from this universe in the future.
Design elements are epic and i just love how they nailed the anime feel without making anything feel cartoony or out of place.
Voice Acting and sound design are top notch as well!
I highly recommend this to any souls like fan, don't hesitate to jump into this awesome universe.

Bro..... It's Potato time.

Having purchased this game on day one for consoles, i will admit i was both intrigued and disappointed.
I played the original Lords of The Fallen years prior, the game wasn't amazing, but i found myself interested in the lore and world building. It was a clunky, but fun mess to play.

This game, being within the same world, had me interested, but once again, at launch it was a clunky and buggy mess.
I bought it physically which just added to the disappointment, since i do not have the final product on disc.
I played the game for a dozen hours or so, until a few bugs blocked my progress and i shelved the title for many months.

As of writing this, patch 2.0 has been released and i must admit, the game has been polished and reconfigured into something quite enjoyable. The balance of things have changed and are almost perfect.
I like to compare this to No Mans Sky, it was a plane wreck of a game, they managed to stay vigilant and build it into an unforgettable experience.

I have finished multiple endings on console and am going for another round on PC, where the setting tweaking feels much better.

Definitely recommend purchasing it in it's current state, it's a competent Souls like, with a dark and twisted world, interesting monster designs, and satisfying combat.

Praise be to our lord of Lasagna!
May your hatred of Mondays fill our hearts
And our feet be nimble to kick a dog
May you grant us the strength to sleep the days away.
Show us mercy for the feline ways.
Amen.

I've completed Elden Ring on console, and wanted to take another ride on PC.
This game is an absolute masterpiece! FromSoft always delivers!
For beginners, the best advice i'd recommend is, forget the main storyline for the first dozen hours, just wander and explore, take your time, level up. By the time you're ready to go kick the first bosses butt, you'll be over leveled and ready to take on the bigger challenges.

Originally on the switch, but ten times better on PC!
Prepare to sink hundreds of hours into yet another great Monster Hunter title!
This time under a neat Ninja clan theme, the story is interesting, but really unimportant.
Gameplay is king as always with monster hunter, so grab your buds and go hack off a slice of some monster!

A fun and free little idle game, that is quite addictive.
My only gripes is all the notifications i get for purchasing things.
If you expect this to be a quick little achievement hunting game, be prepared to sink a long time into it to get anywhere.

I've 100% this masterpiece back in the day on PS3, then again for this version on PS4.
There is some unfortunate changes, yes, But also some great quality of life changes as well as added content.

In japan there was two versions of this game: Nier Replicant was released only in Japan (Mainly due to SE stating that western audiences weren't interested in young male characters anymore, also that they wouldn't understand the brother/sister connections.)

The other version, which also released in Japan on the less popular XBox 360 (in japan) was Nier Gestalt.
Nier Gestalt was created to western gamers with a father/daughter connection, as well as making the main charachter a grizzled and muscular man.

As a Canadian i was introduced through Gestalt, and have more fondness for that version, but i enjoyed this remake of Replicant a lot as well.

The upside is you have a more modernized game, it's less clunky and combat feels better. The graphics have been updated, just don't expect anything too fancy, it's still a pretty game though.

The story is by far one of my favorites of all JRPGs, a melancholic and somber tale filled to the brim with every other emotion you can think of.

The biggest issue for me in the whole package.... that could make my 10/10 rating for the original, and bleed it all the way down to a 7/10, is the soundtrack....

Don't get me wrong, the soundtrack is beautiful and amazing, one of the best videogame OSTs ever made.
But sadly, they decided to remix and remake the OST in comparison to the original.
There was nothing wrong with the original tracks!! leave them alone!!!

Anyways, the game itself is beautiful and amazing, worth your time and money.
Just bear in mind that if you want to 100% the game, there's a chance one achievement will be a drag due to some poorly implemented RNG.

Support this game please!

Finished this game previously on PS5 and i got hooked!
A fun run and gun rhythm shooter, the game itself is rather short, but the replayability is quite high.
The songs within the game are pretty fun to shoot along to, different vocal talents from various Metal bands are present. (Trivium, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy etc.)
My only gripe is it can be somewhat buggy at times and when you pause, it doesn't give you a countdown when to jump back into rhythm, instead it just starts immediately which can throw you off of a streak.
All in all, well worth the price on any platform you can get it on.
