Saying 'Silent Hill 2 remake is fantastic' is like saying nothing. This definitely goes to the list of games I play even after getting the platinum trophy. Unbelievable that metacritic gave only 86%. It easily deserves Must-play. The devs definitely knew they were serving us a masterpiece, so they also made sure it's spacey and long enough. Yes, Silent Hill 2 remake is a vast world to explore and a pretty long game. Just when you think you've seen all its might, the level design keeps getting better and better and focused. The visuals are stunning just like the spectacularly designed bosses, basically like a dream come true. Akira Yamaoka's chilling soundtrack and unsettling sound effects give the story even more depth and get under your skin. The storytelling is amazing as well and has some nice emotional touch to it. You really do get to care about the characters. And not to forget, the game is strongly unsettling to say the least, much more than the original when it first arrived. Not to spoil anything, in new game+ you get a great melee weapon that will make the second playthrough even more enjoyable. To get the platinum trophy I had to complete overall three playthrough and immensely enjoyed every single one. This is the Silent Hill game we've been dreaming of. Much as I enjoy Resident Evil games, for me this Silent Hill 2 remake is easily much better than all the RE games put together. Definitely the second best game of 2024 on par with Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erd tree DLC. Very few games I've enjoyed this much. Rest assured, the future for Silent Hill franchise looks more than promising. Very much hoping to see a remake for the first Silent Hill, SH3 and 4.

Let me start by saying that Starfield was the main reason I bought Xbox in addition to PS5 to be all set for the release, and I certainly had the game pre-ordered on day one. However, after playing for some days, I quit because the missions were lackluster and uninspiring, and there was no promising storyline ahead.

Some weeks later, the presence of my Xbox prompted me to resume playing the game, but again I was eventually disappointed to find it still lacked engaging missions and a decent narrative, so I quit again.

Then I guess I was keen on proving to myself yet again that buying the Xbox was worth it, so I gave it another go only to be let down once more.

To sum up, I found myself repeatedly returning to and then giving up on this game in a span of 3 to 4 months, and despite my best attempts, I couldn't identify any redeeming qualities.

The game's standout feature is the vast galaxy it offers but even with that being said, the planets design as such is pretty monotonous and imaginative. I think of all the planets I visited only one was somewhat compelling.

I'm still finding it hard to believe how bad this game turned out to be, and what's even harder to believe is that it's been in development for decades, at least that's what the trailer said.

One more solid proof to make you realize how inefficient and weak as a console Xbox is compared to PlayStation. Just when you thought Microsoft has finally found the right title to make it big, this disappointment arrives.

Shame on you, Bethesda and Microsoft!

In the recent years PlayStation has had tons of wonderful exclusives, yet you were unable to properly handle even one single game.

Just how shortsighted Microsoft can be to release on one hand a garbage like this, and on the other choose to close down Tango Gameworks, the wonderful company that gave us Evil Within and Evil Within 2?

Very much hoping that the next Elder Scrolls will have better luck. As for Starfield, it is undoubtedly the worst game Bethesda has ever made.

Last but not least, with both Redfall and now Starfield being complete failures, the only way to save my Xbox from collecting dust would be probably using it as a UHD/Blu Ray player.

I bought this game at a great discount, so cheap I couldn't believe it, and shortly after I tested it out, I knew exactly why it came so cheap.

Very mediocre level design, absolutely twilight and barely serviceable missions, no characters, no story, at least I have been playing for 4 days or so now, and can confirm there's been nothing but running around from A to B and aimlessly shooting vampires or cultists.

If like myself you're a Dishonored fan, you'll end up disappointed even more. You'll get the impression this game was cobbled together in a month tops.

'What the hell, Arkane? This was supposed to become a breakthrough of a console exclusive for Xbox. How could you mess things up this bad?' Overall, the low rating for this game has nothing to do with technical issues, it's simply a dead space of a game and a mindless shooter and there's no way the recently released patches will make things worthwhile.

I actually got myself Xbox SX in addition to PS5 (Sony is my primary console) for Starfield and Redfall, and both games turned out utterly disappointing.
