Finished God of War (2018 ) . The game deserves every bit of praise it received Storytelling, graphics and game-play were all superb. It sets itself up well for the inevitable sequels and even other mythologies. Easily a GOTY candidate for 2018.
Honestly, I never understood the love for the game even at release. It was fine, but no masterpiece imo. It hasn't aged well either, as most 3d games from that generation. Mario 64 still plays okay and would be great with better graphics and dual stick control though, I'd play it today on og hardware and still appreciate it.I'm currently playing through Ocarina of Time 3D. It's not bad but not sure where all the hype is over it. Maybe back when it released it was really something, but at this point it's just a generic adventure game to me and control wise the 3DS probably doesn't do it any favors.
I'm not with the gaming media's 10/10 scores , but 6/10? Maybe if we scored games as we should (today a 6/10 really is a 1/5 in most regards) I should maybe agree but that's a bit harsh lolSuper Mario Odyssey 6/10

The check points, or lack of at at some areas are bad. The gameplay is very shallow though. Dodge & attack works for most bosses.Darksiders 3 7/10
Enjoyed it but the check points and loading times let it down
I started Dark Souls Remastered last night. Only just beat the asylum demon. I only played a few hours of Demon's Souls a while back otherwise I am curious to see how the DS series will play compared to Bloodborne. I don't want to watch anything on Sekiro as I do intend on playing it eventually, but I'm curious to check out Maximilian Dood's playthrough as he is huge into Soulsborne stuff.In the last couple months went to my backlog and finally beat Bloodbourne, Doom and Dead Cells. All 3 felt better than before and I think it shows sometimes it’s a matter of timing or being in the mood for a game. Bloodbourne was fine but not amazing until something clicked past the 2/3rds mark. Don’t think I was even playing Doom right. Dead Cells much better balanced since their mega update and it’s in my top 5 Indies for this gen.
Now playing Divison 2 and Sekiro. Division 2 is far and away my favorite looter shooter of this gen. Plays surprisingly well single player for those not interested in online play. Really satisfying gun play. Sekiro just demolished me. Need to watch some tutorials. Nothing you ever learned in Dark Souls or Bloodbourne helps you here.
Reminds me of Maximilian Dood playing Bloodborne. Can't remember the boss name but it was the electric beast you get to after being bagged. It took me like 4 times or so to beat him, while it took Max over an hour. Then again he was using a dex build so barely could do any damage. Fun to watch but I probably would have rage quit long before that mark, so I'll give you props for sticking with it.Sekiro has its claws into me now. There was a point where I was doubting if it was for me. It’s probably the most flawed of From Software’s games the past 2 gens...minus maybe DS2. There will be cheap, unfair deaths. More than other Soulsbourne games. But once I got it (and by got it, I don’t mean being gud), it became gameplay crack. Yesterday I faced off against a mini boss for 5 hours. A f’n mini boss! Not even halfway through the game! However when I finally beat him, was one of the best gaming moments of the year. Game plays more like a rhythm game...or fighter. 9.5 right now. Hopefully it maintains this quality to the end.
Division dropped a bit. Still really good but not worthy of being in the 9’s as I would’ve rated it during the first 10 hours. Think the grounded nature of the game limits its potential to stay interesting. Great AI. Maybe the best this gen. Right now it sits at a 8.5.
