As a figure, this amiibo is very nice, featuring colorful, crisp detail work and a unique support stand of delicious meringue. The only flaw is that the glowing tip of the arrow doesn't quite look right. As DLC, however, it doesn't offer anything you couldn't already find in the game.

Another paint-by-numbers game by MercurySteam

It's a little better than Castlevania: Mirror of Fate, but the poor controls and repetitive level design make this a game to be avoided.

Huge improvement

I hated the first Watch_Dogs, but with a new, more likable protagonist, a change in setting, and socially relevant commentary, Watch Dogs 2 justifies its existence in a way the first didn't.

More Dishonored

Verified Purchase:Yes
They made another one of those! Honestly, Dishonored 2 adds very little to the formula, but it's worth the price of admission for the Clockwork Mansion level alone. It's marvelous.

I expected more.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Last Guardian feels very derivative of the earlier games in the series, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. While Trico is one of the most complex and well-realized AI companions in a video game, the environments and puzzles feel all too familiar.

More Uncharted

While it has a different setting and playable cast than Uncharted 4, this is very much a continuation of the refined gameplay and more mature storytelling of that game. I greatly enjoyed it, and look forward to where the series can go without Nathan Drake.

Pleasantly Surprised With a Freebie

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wouldn't pay any amount of money for this thing, but as a pre-order bonus it's a neat little toy. Well-made and very solid, but unfortunately also noticably weighted. Lands 'heads' about 75% of the time.

I Found Three Moons While Writing This Review
on November 7, 2017
Posted by: Halibut
from Minneapolis, MN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Like the Korok Seeds in this spring's Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey is filled with tiny environmental puzzles and micro-challenges each hiding a moon to collect. It's a joy to explore and stretch Mario's legs after the cramped and tightly guided 3D and Galaxy games.

Persona 4 but edgier

A darker, grittier, cynical and millennial take on Persona. Maybe not as good, maybe not very much of an evolution after 9 years, but still excellent.

Polished But Unimaginative
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: Halibut
Verified Purchase:Yes
First off, the game looks absolutely amazing on a PS4 Pro at 4K.
Unfortunately the game itself is a mix of some pretty well-worn open-world game design tropes wrapped around a by-the-numbers young adult fiction novel. You've seen the towers, collection, and hunting from any number of Ubisoft titles like Far Cry, or the 'tracking' quests that lead you by the nose in The Witcher 3. Horizon ultimately doesn't add much at all to the formula.
