Mark of the Ninja
Finished this not too long ago, it’s a pretty good game. The gameplay was very fluid and fun and the story actually got very good towards the end. I won’t spoil anything but it’s a lot deeper than it seems and actually makes you think. Really cool art style too! I didn’t like it enough to 100% it and I won’t replay it but with a New Game +, this game has a lot of replay value.
Would I recommend this game? Yes!
Assassin’s Creed
As I’ve said many times, I love this game. This was my 4th playthrough so I finally decided to 100% it. Meaning I completed every objective and collected all 420 flags. I also limited my weapon choice to only the hidden blade, which makes the combat easier but also much more challenging because you need good timing. I’d really recommend doing a playthrough with just the hidden blade! It did take me a while to finish the game because every once in a while I did tire of collecting so many damn flags but it was so satisfying after I got them all.
Would I recommend this game? Yes, but some people may not like its repetitiveness.
Tomb Raider: Legend
Welp, another abandoned game. I started playing this yesterday and it has aged very badly in the gameplay department (graphics are nice though!!). Clunky, unresponsive controls and a sickening floaty camera, and boring levels. I tried playing with KB&M but the controls are even worse on that. I found myself looking at walkthroughs if I couldn’t do something after like 2 tries, which is a telltale sign that I was lying to myself about actually having fun with the game, and I was actually just trying to get through the game as fast as possible. The story is average, but the soundtrack is actually really great. It’s also a very glitchy game (I often thought I was doing a puzzle wrong but it turns out I wasn’t and the game just messed up) and crashes often, so if you play it be prepared for frustration. I played through about half of the game until I realized I wasn’t actually having fun. I might go back to it but probably not.
Would I recommend this game? No, play the newer Tomb Raiders instead
That’s some excellent taste in games. I’ve personally loved both Mark of the Ninja and the first AC :) Never brought myself to collect all the flags though, so congrats on that! :D
Thanks! It took me forever to get them all but I really got a better appreciation for the game’s environment and you can’t beat that sense of accomplishment :)
