Die Hard was in desperate need of a decent remastering job, and this edition finally does that. The picture is sometimes softer than one would expect in 4K, but this is an enormous improvement over previous Blu Ray releases. An upgrade to the audio would have been nice, but I don't have an Atmos setup anyway. I wish the studio would go the extra mile in presenting such a classic film, but this release is still good, especially on sale.

Shadow of the Colossus is one of the best games on PS2, but I had trouble getting back into it in the Ico collection on PS3 due to the clunky controls. This remake does a great job of maintaining the artistic style of the original with modern graphical fidelity, and the gameplay greatly benefits from a refined control scheme. Everyone with a PS4 should own Shadow of the Colossus.

I didn't play the previous Nier or any of the Drakengard games and bought this solely because it was developed by Platinum. The game is bizarre in the best way regarding enemy designs and the combat is great fun like in any Platinum action game. With 5 main endings and 2 additional playable characters unlocked after completion, this should keep you busy for a while. I'd encourage at least one replay as the 9S character.

This is mostly a review of Doom 2016. I haven't played a FPS in years after being burned out on down-sights shooters since Battlefield 4. I really wish I hadn't slept on this game for so long since it does a great job of bringing the FPS genre back to its roots before Call of Duty dominated the market. I haven't played online and I imagine multiplayer matches are pretty sparse years after release, but the campaign is just a joy. I wish the classic Doom games were included on disc, but considering this collection can be bought for the same price as stand-alone Doom 2016, I can't complain.

This is definitely a top 5 game on PS4. The game suffers a bit from UbiSoft style open-world syndrome, forced stealth sections as Mary Jane, and flat out boring sections as Peter Parker. But the combat and web swinging is so good that I can't help but overlook the game's shortcomings. The game has some great boss battles too, although I wish they were spaced out a bit more. The DLC included in the GOTY edition is pretty underwhelming, so I wouldn't bother with it unless you really can't get enough of the game.

Bayonetta 2 was a big reason why I bought a Nintendo Switch and I was glad when another Platinum game was announced for the platform. It takes some time to get used to controlling two characters at once in combat, but once you do it makes for a great action game. The detective aspects keep Astral Chain from being as action-packed as Bayonetta, but those sections are a fun way to break up the combat sections. Anyone with a Switch should pick this up.

I wanted another superhero game to scratch the itch after beating Spiderman so I decided to pick up Arkham Knight after skipping it on release. Unfortunately, Batman isn't as enjoyable to play as he used to be. Combat and traversal are clunky compared to Spiderman, and the tank combat in the Batmobile is never fun. If you feel the need to play as Batman again, I would recommend just going back to Arkham City.

I've been waiting to see this film since it was released but never got around to buying it. It's a good crime drama and looks beautiful on UHD and HD. If you like crime films, just buy it. You can't go wrong with this package, especially on sale.

God of War 2018 is still my favorite PS4 exclusive, but GoW 3 Remastered perfected the original GoW format. GoW 3 is still the most brutal of the main series, and despite requiring a bit of adjustment from GoW 2018, this game still looks and plays great. If you liked GoW 2018 but if you can handle even more brutality and (refined) gameplay for the PS2 era, then check out GoW 3.

I'm not sure what happened here but after comparing the Theatrical edition Blu-Ray in this package to the Theatrical Blu-Ray in the Full Disclosure edition, there is a definite downgrade in video quality for the HD version of the film. The 4K version of the film mostly looks and sounds great. But I like these UHD/HD combos because it lets me watch my movies almost anywhere, and I hate when the HD BD version is downgraded. The film is obviously phenomenal and the 4K restoration is good but the remastering of the HD version knocks this from 5 stars to 4. Recommended if you are okay with keeping your HD BD version of the film.
