I am a huge fan of System Shock 2, after playing Prey I thought that it could be a great idea to give it a chance to Bioshock, that lot's of people have as a great game. Beeing of Ken Levinne's (which worked at System Shock 2) I was a bit hyped, but this game didn't satisfied me at all. The beginning is amazing: Rapture, that city has a greate ambientation, and the splitthers, little sisters, big daddies, everything has a real marked personality and that's something that no one can remove of Bioshock. The gameplay is fine at the beginning, but it started to feel boring: there's where I think that Bioshock is the worst, an amazing city but I can't barely explore it, always the same kind of missions "go there, and do something here", sometimes is a cure for a poison, or kill three splitthers, but it stopped to be funny doing the same thing everytime at the thirt time. The characters are not the best I think, and in general playing it in 2021 leaves a strange taste. If you want to play a classic, with some original stuff, this is your game, but there some better alternatives likes System Shock 2 or Prey.
Metro Last Light have some good ideas and ones of the coolest situations of the Metro Franchise, BUT, at half of the game approx. it became a really boring game in my opinon. But even wit h that problem, if you played 2033 and you liked it, give this Metro game an oportunity, it may disappoint you, or may not, but it won't let you undifferent
This game really engage from the beginning to the end. In terms of storyline, it's really interesting and the way that it is told to us, like if Alan Wake is reading one of his books... I think that it's pretty cool. In terms of gameplay, well, we can say that the combat is pretty good: simple and funny mechanichs, remove the darkness and shoot; it's simplicity make it even more enganging. This simpleness doesn't means that the game is not going to be a challenge, we have a lot of situations that are going to make us think, administrate ammo and batteries in order to survive. Graphically, even thoug it's been a long since this game's release (2012), we are not in front of a game with bad graphics. The landscapes are beutiful, the town is so cool that I really want to go there on holidays xD. And the charactarer's desgins and animations are also so good. To sum up, we are in front of a videogame that is engaging and funny, it will give you about 9 enjoyable hours, and for 12 -13€ I think that it deserves at least give it a chance ;)
This game will make you see what we are in a different perspective, are we a body? Or are we just a mind, or memories? Are we something more? It's quite an interesting game with lots of philosophy in it, and the ambientation is just perfect, I never really enjoyed a Frictional Games product as much as I enjoyed this master piece, fully recommended, and experience about existential problems that everyone should try sometime, 10/10
