      "Environments that are dry" usually means that the artstyle clashes with the character style. A really good example is ANY of the Sword Art Online games. Anime characters in what is a realistically-styled world. Versus The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, which are cel-shaded characters in a cel-shaded artstyle world.
      Plus a lack of any other gameplay loop beyond fighting. If all you can do is fight, it doesn't need to have a huge open world. Things that usually carry a GOOD open-world game are interactions with NPCs, dialogue, things to find (that aren't just minimap collectables), random events, etc.

FF rip offs or actual spin offs, I'm not sure, but definitely something like FF, with flying boats, sexy girls and huge swords. Day in and day out, they all look the same. Some of them might be mobile only, I don't really know, but they all look awful. Studios probably don't even bother releasing them outside of Japan.

The game clearly pushes you to run through the levels without losing your beat count and if you want to do that you have to really think about what you’re doing and engage with all the mechanics. That being said, on a casual playthrough it is very simple lol similar to a bullet hell; if you just credit feed it’s as simple as simple gets, but if you want to 1 credit clear it or get a high score, the depth comes into play.

In both movies and games I've noticed that games and movies with low critic scores but high user scores are going to be great and vice versa for identifying bad movies and games.

I woulda picked out better games but it was slim pickings I tell ya. Everything I wanted was sold out and everything on the shelf I already own so it was 1 of those things it was either take what was there or get nothing because the entire reason the balance was so low was because it was a pro week sale and I couldn't even use the points to order online at store or use it to reserve the dead space remake, the re4 remake and hogwarts legacy.

    It's sad to see Saints Row on this list.

      I agree, that was my favorite game 2 years ago and it still is to this day and forward.

    sad to see that Gmeranx thinks VALKYRIE and GUNGRAVE are bad games, they are what they are, a throwback, one reminds u of DRAKENGUARD and the other is exactly the same game from the ps2 that we all wanted, true they got low scores but the fanbase is there, i honestly put more hours into GUNGRAVE GORE on XBOX and PS5 because i got it free on gamepass but decided it is worth my money and the extra graphics on ps5 and the dual sense. as for Vlkyrie, i had an amazing time with it and it gets better the more u play and both of them are beloved by me.
    Just glad he didn't include STRANGER OF PARADISE and SOULSTICE in here, also 2 of my fave 2022 games.

    what we need is more honest game testers that actually say what is wrong with the game. not just a tester with a person breathing over the shoulder telling them what they wanna hear. Honestly I'm okay with delays on games as long as it doesn't have a 1000 bugs and sucks lol. I know the people behind these titles put so much heart and soul into these games but sometimes it feels like they are cutting corners for time and release and not really getting down to the situation at hand. Which is good gaming mechanics and a bitching story that will bring in more players for the sequel :)

      @@DeathOfAMartyr3 of course both are. BUT... Postal2 didn't try to keep its mouth shut, whjile Postal4 rather refuses to make fun of all the stupid shit that's going onin the world right now.
      It's more or less a literal bum simulator.
      meanwhile the whole world turned into one south park episode.
      Postal4: yeay, bum life!
