A solid step forward with better gameplay and improved Career Mode, but still held back by bugs, performance issues, and heavy microtransactions. Fun for fans, but not a major leap.

Comment on Blood West Review by Ben Schwartz

Great review of a great game. Blood West was the best game I played in 2024 – I think it’s doing something truly unique, and does it so so well. I also think it has some of the best gunplay in any game, like ever – no Western game before or since equals it when it comes to honoring the way we feel a six-shooter or buffalo rifle or bow and arrow – all the almost-mythic implements of the period – should feel. Not realistic, but poetically true.

Awesome writeup! I’m thinking of getting us a PS5 for Xmas & you’ve convinced me we don’t need a Pro (unlike the last-gen improved versions that we picked up for not much more than the base versions).

Honestly, this game sounds like a punishment wrapped in a conundrum. It’s like they made suffering a core mechanic. Feels like some won’t even get through the first few hours. For a niche audience, sure, but not many are ready to embrace that despair.

Exceptional review. Last year’s CFB game was my personal GOTY. This game is way better in a lot of aspects, but there’s an element of freshness that last year’s brought that I’m still chasing. That first week spent playing CFB 25 was the most fun I had playing any game in ages.

This game is not like the games before they are to dramatic with the shot selections and the regaining of balance and foot control when yoh try to steal, and the big kicker is why are you slower to connect to your defensive player rather than offense? That’s like a cheat in itself…. game was cool until that oh and they have alotta players who shouldn’t be boosted up boosted like reeves off the lakers??? Wtf do yall think he is and Shai Gildress smdh he’s a while another story and of course the fact that Victor Wembaye is a cheat code in himself

Great review. I created a history piece, and referenced you and your review in it, if that is okay, with some direct quotes from you. Have a great day.

Comment on Why I’m Sick of Soulslikes by xjuggernaughtx

I’m glad that Souls games are around for those people that like them. I just wish Souls-like mechanics would quit bleeding over into other genres… Especially Metroidvanias. I’m so tired of each game trying to one up the last one with these ridiculously difficult boss fights, needing to get back to your body to pick up your resources, limited save locations, obnoxious run backs from the limited save locations, etc. It’s so annoying and samey. For a while, it seemed like every time I saw a game that looked interesting, I’d dig a little deeper and find out that, yup, they’d shoved Souls-like mechanics in there because these days EVERY game has to have them…

You mentioned the biggest issue i have with the game in this review. It seems like the majority of the game is trying to find “upgrades”. Which are really just basic game mechanics. I have to beat half the game or more before i can even double-jump. Most of this game is going through an area to get an “upgrade” just to travel all the way back to find a path to the next boss with another “upgrade”. It would be more satisfying if the the upgrades were actual spells and not just basic game mechanics. It seems like the nailed the world and exploration but gave up on charcter progression. But this is just my opinion. A lot of people like this and the game and im happy for them. Its just not for me. Thanks for the review.
