If you think this is incredible story, just wait until you get to Chapter 6 and beyond. It gets even better.
Also, the Chapter 4 boss is one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if she returns in the paid DLC. I think NG+ was mostly just for Torna, and the fact that we got that for free is pretty incredible.

Some of these unique bosses are infuriating!

The story in general is awful. The villains get very little depth, and story missions either feel like sidequests or are forcibly shoved in at random points. The only "good" story missions are in John Seed's territory; Jacob's is literally the same thing 4 times in a row and Faith's is just a bunch of drug trips (Drug trips are a Far Cry staple, but unlike the other ones, you don't do ANYTHING in these. You just walk around.)
And don't get me started on the endings. They're absolute garbage. And when I say garbage, I mean Mass Effect 3 level garbage.
It sucks too, because I love the setting, idea, and controls. Guns feel smooth and powerful, the Guns for Hire system is fun and unique, and the idea of fighting a cult is awesome. However, the story and actual missions are butchered so badly that I doubt I'll ever pick this game up again.

All in all, I stand by my previous view that 1 had the better story--or at least performed better in the execution of said story.

Anyways, after the debacle of Far Cry 5 I decided to trade in my Xbox for a PS4 in order to get my hands on some exclusives. I still have to play Bloodborne, but I've played 3 games so far: Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, and Persona 5. I'll get into Persona later, as it deserves it's own post.
Horizon is, in my opinion, what story driven open world games should strive to be. While BotW has the major upper hand in exploration, the story here is fantastic. Aloy is an incredible protagonist (one of my personal favorites in a video game) and the characters surrounding her (Varl, Erend, and Sylens in particular) are also top notch. The fluidity of the combat was a pleasant surprise as well, as were the numerous sidequests. Nothing stood out to me too much, but it's a game that checks off all the boxes quite well. I'd give it a 9/10.
Ratchet and Clank is pretty much the polar opposite, and I resented it at first. I wanted more story and open world, so to get cheesy jokes and simple platforming was kinda lame. However, over time, it really grew on me. The levels are fun, the guns are unique and varied, and the bosses were rock solid. It's an incredibly simple game, but that's not a bad thing. I'd say it's an 8/10, but I have no desire to replay it any time soon. It's more of a one-time thing.

Pretty satisfied with how things panned out although I wish we had more closure with the other guardians. Really I just wanted more meat to ship MiphaxLink haha but nah it was good.
The final battle was pretty...easy all things considered. The penultimate one was far better even if I was terrible at it.
Now I need a new game for my Switch...open to options!

Side-note: I ended up naming all my horses after horses and pegasi from the Fire Emblem games. My first horse was Huey, after Florina's pegasus, my second was Titania, after Vanessa's pegasus, I named the Royal Horse Aurora, after Cordelia's pegasus, and I named the Giant Horse Avel, after Sophie's horse. I just wish they had a health meter I could see (has that been patched in since I last played the game?); I've gotten Aurora killed on more than one occasion.

Even then I do more horse archery so I never get close enough to get hit.
I named my Royal Horse Atreyu from the neverending story (though in hindsight I think that horse is called Artax).

Picked up Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors. I’ve played both extensively, but it’s still fun to play them again. Tropical Freeze is still an absolute masterpiece that I’d recommend to everyone. I haven’t gotten into the new maps on Hyrule Warriors yet, but I imagine I’ll be playing it throughout the summer. It’s an easy game to pick up and play for like an hour or two.
I also need to start playing some of the SNES rpgs (FFVI, Secret of Mana, Earthbound) along with Bloodborne and Rayman. Thank god there aren’t any big games coming out for a while.

You won't find a huge difference in playing the evil side. You get different ability upgrades and fifteen different side missions but that's about it.

Yup. The improved framerate looks very nice. With all the adventure maps it’ll be a good 300-400 hours of content.

From what I recall a bunch of the adventure maps were outright unfair.
All those "never get hit" and "achieve impossible objective by X" really hindered my enjoyment of that mode.

Apparently they balanced them out a bit. There’s now a recommended order, along with a better system of rewards. There’s the new item card shop too. Hopefully it’ll be better than the last one.
Even then, the first map along got me 60+ hours, so if I only do 2-3 it’ll still be worth it

As a side-note, I'm told that Tyranny is available for free this weekend on Steam (though you'll presumably have to pay full price for it if you want to continue playing once the weekend is over).

To kick things off, I started Chrono Trigger. I kinda understand the battle system and the story, but it’s pretty clearly a SNES game with how vague it is. Still, it’s aged well.
