« Ghost of Tsushima, My favourite open world. Jin Sakai, my goat. 10/10 Sad I'll never be able to play Ghost of Yotei though. Not buying a PS5 for that ♥♥♥♥ you, Sony. »👍 anonymous review · 95 h played27554« Ghost of Tsushima is the only game where I can spend 3 hours staring at a tree, then 5 minutes turning a Mongol camp into a bloody art gallery. Honor died on the beach, but my dopamine levels have never been higher. »👍 anonymous review · 2 h played6111« I barely have words to describe the feelings this game gave me: joy, anger, grief, thrill, satisfaction.. the complete package.

« tu crois t'es un ninja fils de pute et retourne faire du sport »👎 anonymous review · 13 h played« The Legend of Jin's father (forgot his name) quest where you have to platform -- complete time wasting garbage. Single handedly the worst section of the game. »👎 anonymous review · 146 h played« Pretty fun. Got me to buy a controller. Great experience. Really scratches the Zelda itch in a weird way, actually. Would recommend »👍 anonymous review · 71 h played11« Easily one of the best games ever made. A mix of assassin's creed and farcry I would say, along with cool sword fighting and duels. I loved it, story is good, beautiful graphics and it provides good gameplay time. »👍 anonymous review · 79 h played1
