Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
This game is a peculiar one. I had a lot of fun with it. There’s a lot to this game even though the amount of playtime you get out of it is uh… not that much. I platinumed the game in about ~14 hours and I did mostly take my time playing through the game at a considerably slow pace. You could clock in about 20 hours max but the price makes it absolutely not worth buying. $70 dollars for a game such as this is just too much! The game itself is awesome and a lot of fun but the price is not at all justified. It’s worth like, 30-40 dollars at best. I got the game for “free” with PS Plus Extra, but if it weren’t for that I wouldn’t have played it. The game does seem to go on sale often but just strictly judging it off of base price, I wouldn’t buy it.
Why I Dislike Most FPS Games
I think what I dislike about them is their fleetingness paired with, unoriginality—it feels as though every new FPS game that comes out nowadays is in one of a few categories. BR, CS/Valorant clone… or uh yeah that’s it w. There’s some standout games here and there that don’t follow this pattern, which I’ll get into but in general most of the FPS games coming out nowadays are either tactical shooters or BRs and I think it’s sad.
Borderlands
The first Borderlands game is the first in a series that many love. And it’s no wonder why it is so, it’s a great game with great mechanics that still mostly holds up well to this day, especially with the game of the year enhanced edition.
I first got the game 3 years ago, but I had gotten a bunch of other games along with it on sale so I didn’t get to play it much, even more so as I’d gotten stuck in the early game at the time. So I ended up putting the game off for a long time, and finally got back to it when I got my PS5. For the longest time I thought, maybe looter shooters just aren’t for me, maybe they aren’t but Borderlands should’ve been a game I loved. I’m a sucker for RPGs and numbers games in general so there must’ve been something I was doing wrong, right?
Control
Control is an amazing game with an amazing atmosphere. While a little short I think it suits it well, and after playing it… I think it’s become one of my favorite games I’ve played so far!
You play as Jesse Faden, in search of her brother who was taken away by the FBC (Federal Bureau of Control)… which is basically the SCP foundation.
Gameplay
The gameplay in control is something akin to a metroidvania, just more linear than a game you’d traditionally call a metroidvania. The game while mostly story focused has quite a lot of side content as well, especially with the two DLCs—that being said it’s still quite short. I’ve heard of people finishing the game in like 9 hours. I got the plat in about 19. Finished both the DLCs in 21 I think.
