Had to write these way before but I will still share them to get them of my chest(brain?).
God of War(PS Vita)Great
Still plays great most of the time with awesome combos, varied levels and enemies, beatiful soundtrack and intriguing mythological story. While playing it again in the Vita I became even more sure about 2018 has nothing compare to original trilogy in anyway.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales(PS5)Good
Spider-Man is my favourite fictional character ever so 2018 game was a real treat for a person like me. It was a really good game too thankfully. MM is still good and has the same fun gameplay from the original which is not surprising because of its standalone DLC nature but it also added, changed some minor points which is good to have like Miles' really cool swinging animations, updated bios with new events etc. Miles' venom powers and neon lights of the Tinkerer's crew make incredible scenes with RT on and also game is 60 fps too if you choose that.
I liked the main story, it's not on par with 2018 game but still nice even though it should had 1-2 more missions; still don't agree that game is ''too short''. You can guess some of the twists but they sometimes still affect you. I have problems about some moments in the story but at the end I was touched by it. I finished the main story in 6-7 hours and played it near 17-18 hours while doing everything on the map. Side missions show progression after the critics about 2018's side activities and some of them are fun while game still has some bland ones but they are not annoying because traversal mechanics are still so much fun to use. Another thing is I liked Miles better here, in 2018 game he was not sympathetic enough for me to care about him.
To wrap it up: This is a good launch game for a new console and I'm glad I had to chance to play it and can't wait to see a real sequel which is completely tailored for PS5 alone. I don't know if it's fair to compare but I still prefer Into the Spiderverse to this story when we look at popular works where Miles is the main player in recent years.
I didn't want Phin to die, it would be nice to see her again in the future. Also Prowler's writing and implementing here was really weak comparing to Into the Spiderverse, especially the reveal of him to Miles as his uncle was so rushed and awkward.
Crash Bandicoot(PS5 via backwards compatibility)Average
Really annoying remake for a PS1 game and the only thing it improved over original is graphics. They didn't touch anything; not horrible and clunky jumping, not terrible hitbox of Crash and definitely not the disgusting camera angles in a game about PLATFORMING! Don't think I will try the sequels anytime soon, also can't get my head around why people like this series so much; the only reason I can think of is there were not many platformes in its time I guess.
Resident Evil 2(2019)[Leon 1st Run](PS5 via backwards compatibility)Awesome
Yeah, nearly one year after I finished it; I returned the remake and played it again in the same route which is Leon 1st, Claire 2nd. Shooting and feeling the kill is soooo good in this game that I can't get enough of it. Story is nice but my main gripe about
it is it's not parallel stories going together and instead two stories together doesn't make sense for some parts because they clash on each other! Why didn't you work more on it so it could be really parallel stories instead of the current ones, I really don't understand this.
Mr. X is annoying as usual.
And I don't have a real problem about it but even though it's a survival-horror game, on Normal difficulty you usually have enough ammo most of the time, some people might not like this.
I also tried The Ghost Survivors mode this time too, it is lazy and hard but I guess you can't expect much from a free content most of the time.
Astro's Playroom(PS5)Great
A love letter to PS history. PS5 is still a great point to get in the PS wagon, this game made me felt this way. Beatiful looking platform leves, great use of gamepad features, countless references to PS history and overall an interactive museum for previous gens. PS has a really special place in my heart and this game really touched that part and I was smiling ear to ear all the time with my time with it.
Really liked how they made a game around the main purpose instead of just showing them in more boring ways. It will be a little bit ironic but my favourite levels were the ones in the vein of a classic 3D platformer and didn't like the levels about DualSense features a lot.
If anyone caught all of the references about games let me know, there were ones I couldn't figure out.
