Statistical.

Uncharted combat gets better as you increase difficulties ala halo.

Makes me think you are all hating but you are all just there to hate anyway.
(most of you are)

The issue is also the number of enemies they chuck at you. Hordes of enemies isn’t fun unless it’s an all out arcade shooter (like Doom).

I've enjoyed all of them that i've played, but the combat is just not interesting to me in the slightest. I enjoyed it in UC2, but i've played better games since then. Getting mobbed from all angles in 4 was tiresome.

I don't even know why I'm justifying myself. The idea i'd hate a game just to hate it is laughable. I've got better stuff to do with my time than make up stuff like that.

2 was great, combat was fine. That's all I got.

I only played one of them, 2 I think, didn't play for long. I agree with Elf, too many waves of enemies with no real interesting tactics. I turned it off midway through a shoot out and never went back.
TLoU had shit combat as well. Both games would have been much better if they just took it out.

I might be interested to play through the walking simulator aspect of it if there's an auto target option that makes the combat basically no effort.

Certainly makes it easier though you do need to keep cover.

How much can you stealth through? If there's a stealth route for every battle, it'll move up the list considerably.

Not all the battles but I think most of them. There are still some lengthy hordes but overall I think 4 has fewer than the others. It was a far more talkey walk ‘em-up which I preferred.

Subnautica

If you think Uncharted has far too much killing for the sake of lazy pacing then we have this. First person explore-em-up where you crash land on an alien ocean planet and go on a quest to get home and discover what this green shit growing on your skin is. It has a fairly simple crafting system that doesn't get overbearing (nanomachines and a Star Trek replicator do must of the work for you as long as you get the raw mats) till right at the end when you're building escape projects. In the course of discovery you'll be diving deeper, dodging lots of different kids of teeth, collecting plants to grow (acid mushrooms are great for making computer chips) while making a nice crib or two for yourself to grow food, look after friends and go to sleep overlooking the burning remains of the passenger liner that brought you here.




I'll miss this place.

I got attached enough to my submarine, the Waldo, that I purposefully removed the mod that enabled it to survive that crush depth it was at, set engines to overheat so a fire broke out and then watched it break apart with gusto. A ceremonial burial of what was to me a self-made NPC.

It was really good but elements of the last few hours were so monotonous in gathering resources I regrettably give it an [8]. More of this type of thing on a plate.

Rime.
Beautiful.
Emotional
Bit boring in places.

Max Payne 3. Haven't played this since it came out six years ago. I had a really fun time with it, especially once the combat clicked and the harder sections - and the game is quite challenging - became a glorious chance to commit some dizzying, intoxicating violence. The story is strong, and the soundtrack is tops, especially the final chapter in the airport. It's a shame it wasn't a big hit, as I would love to see more Max Paynes.

A few frustrating moments, but the game is pretty fair on the whole. Once you understand when to be aggressive - which is most of the time - and when to hold back in cover, everything clicks. It still looks beautiful on an old PS3 too, which is a big bonus. The stadium has one of my all time favourite moments: diving down the steps and killing four people before you land. The story is strong too. Always love a good Noir!

Super Metroid:

Fin, great experience - barring some of the bosses.

Only 60% item collection? Thought I was a bit more thorough... Samus am (prob a wee bit) sadface.
