A fun game, but if you are an achievement hunter then be prepared to spend many many hours with trial and error. A lot of the platinum medals require exact precision and speed. Thankfully there are a couple guides out there to get them but nothing really on the DLCs so beware.

Still a fun game if you are a fan of the Super Monkey Ball games!

I think Arkham Knight gets too much of a bad wrap as its being compared to the greatness of its predecessors while also adding more to the games than before. Larger scope, more abilities, gadgets, bosses, side missions. Sometimes its bothersome that the map is so gigantic as it feels unneeded but most of the time its such a great detailed map, beautiful constructed and so smooth to traverse. My issue with this is that I would rather fight as Batman and not the batmobile which the game tends to focus more on imo.

Still a great game with a very very good story and characters!

Debated as one of the best in the Arkham series and it is my personal favorite in terms on exploration, combat, and stealth! Certainly in my top 2 for the Arkham series, its a masterclass in spectacle and story. Voice acting and side storylines are insanely good.

10/10 must play

The pros: Story, gameplay, voice acting, music, weapons, enemies, bosses, artwork, graphics, replayability, items, gods, customization

The cons: Can't play as Skelly the Skeleton

MUST BUY GAME

It does looks better than the original and plays smoother, if you played the original then you already know what you are getting into but for newcomers just know that this is the game that launched a franchise for good reason. As a looter shooter it is great as a foundational start, farm enemies and bosses for unique loot, find legendaries, complete missions, build your skill trees! While its successor, Borderlands 2, ended up stealing the spotlight (also for good reason) this is still a very fun game with great DLC (besides Mad Moxxi's DLC imo) and has fun characters along for the ride!

The main story is bad though, so just shoot stuff and have fun instead!

I don't know how anyone could not like this game to be honest, the only thing I could think of is that you have to have decent time management to win! All the characters play so different and work well with unique items so baseline, there is great replayability. Add on one of the BEST soundtracks plus crazy builds plus beautiful graphics and art PLUS the ability to customize your runs and you have a winner of a game.

10/10 must play.

This was a surprising hit for me, but it does come with some caveats. Starting with the good, there is a lot of character builds, items, and ways to make your build unique. A ton of looting farming methods to get the best gear and ways to focus that farming to get the exact piece of gear you are looking for! With the amount of enemies you face, you will come to a point if you have a proper build of feeling like an unstoppable force fighting ants, it almost becomes like a rhythm game as the enemies almost merge into a blur. With so many methods to customize your build, you can have a lot of fun just testing things out. There are also a CRAZY amount of items, gear, equipment in this game so you can really build whatever you want.

The downsides are that the levels are way to big, running around a maze like level to find a door that leads to another giant maze was not fun to me. Especially going for all the achievements, its just annoying.

I didn't find it to have a ton of replayability but going through all the way to the Mythic dungeons on at least once character is a blast!

An extraordinary roguelike game with fast, intense gameplay and insane guns to boot! There is so much content that its even hard to break down where to begin so let's keep it short.

Guns go brrrr, tons of levels and bosses, upgrades and items galore, and my new gun shoots a gun that shoots bullets, 10/10

I would recommend this game highly if you have friends that have not played it yet or still find enjoyment playing it! A big downside is that (in my opinion) you need to play this with friends AND you need a good amount of people, I would recommend at least 7 people total. I have played my fair share of online games with strangers for achievements and it is terrible in that sense unless you want to troll people!

Only get if you have a good sized friend group to play with!

VR games seem to have fallen out of focus or never got focus from publishers, but at least we have Beat Saber. This is a MUST HAVE if you have a VR headset, fun to play by yourself or set it up at parties for friends and families! Just like the good ol days of Guitar Hero but now you are in the game swinging awesome lasersticks! Plus the benefit of mod support so you can download user created levels or finding your favorite songs if someone has created it!

Again, if you have VR you need to get this game!
