I love video games, and I recently decided to review them.
I utilized the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to compute the coefficients for each criterion. I grade the games on a scale of 1 to 10 for each criterion, and then I multiply the ratings by the coefficients. After adding all the products, I calculate the ultimate score for each game.

This was a good game. It felt refreshing after playing “serious” titles for some time. Nice and blinding graphics. The gameplay is fast-paced and fluid. I don’t understand why it’s too short, though. It took, like, 30 minutes to get all the achievements. I would definitely play more if it was longer.

It was a very relaxing and satisfying game. It helped me reflect on my recent decisions when I was going through stressful times. I liked that there was no background music playing while doing the cleaning. One annoying thing is that some levels are so large that it feels like they were designed for co-op gameplay only. I recommend upgrading the powerwasher as soon as possible, it makes a huge difference.

The game alone is not very exciting, but it closes the gap it lacks with the cooperative gameplay. The most entertaining part of this game is not its main missions but the random stuff you do in between, like playing baseball, throwing darts, arm wrestling, etc. Be wary of the striking story ending, determined by your choices. Overall, it is not a mechanically advanced game, but it is enjoyable to play with someone together.

I get the frustration from the fans about these series, but I enjoy playing it. I hope Ubisoft can get itself out of the situation it currently is in, so we can play more Assassin's Creed games. Wondering what Assassin's Creed Shadows is going to be like.

I don't know the reason, but there is a common hatred towards these kinds of games, yet I really enjoyed it. The game begins with breathtakingly beautiful scenery. I spent a lot of time just inspecting the environment and trying to grasp the atmosphere. I wasn't expecting it to take place in the USSR. I liked the universe they've created. Gameplay is very much like any RPG, which I enjoy a lot. The story is complex and has interesting twists. There are some plot holes, and characters have some weaknesses, but it's still fine. I completely understand the people not liking this game, but it satisfied the Skyrim craving I had for a time.

I have played Assassin's Creed games since the beginning, and Eivor (male) is one of my favorite assassins now. Despite the criticisms about how series have evolved over the years, I really like the Assassin's Creed series. I mean, you can still play in a stealthy way, like me. Graphics are amazing. The thing that I didn't like about this game was, ironically, its depth. It has so much content that I wasn't remembering the beginning after playing for tens of hours. I really liked the Isu story in this one. I can't really say the same thing about Dag.

A game with great atmosphere and music. Platforming is very fun. Once you get used to the controls, the game becomes fluid and feels really satisfying. One part I didn’t like about this game was the boss fights. They felt mechanically alright, but they could be much more diverse and difficult. They didn’t feel epic. Hoping that they will fix the issues, I would definitely try the following games in this series.

Meets the expectations from a FPS game. Fluid and ca. Decent graphics. I enjoyed the story mode, though some of the scenes were overly exeggrated. It was hilarious to hear Ottoman soldiers swear in Turkish. The tank mission was kind of boring (the tank's name was Little Beth or something like that I don't remember). I enjoyed the aerial missions most. Fuck the pyro guys. I haven't tried the online part for the sake of my mental health, but I can imagine it being spectacular.

I think the heavily critiqued missions (open combat missions) are not the products of a company being lazy; it is the choice of design. I liked those missions since I had no expectation whatsoever. Classic fluid Call of Duty gameplay with great characters.

Warning: This game requires immense psychological strength to play. Not just for dealing with the monkeys on your team, but knowing that you will never truly understand this game. Deep layers of interactions make you question the most basic mechanics from time to time. Once you think you get the hang of it, IceFrog releases a breaking patch, and your favorite carry becomes a support. It is useful to know that Dota 2 is not a MOBA; it is a gamble. You risk your time to feel like a hero or really annoyed.

It took me a while to beat Celeste because I kind of used it like a sidekick during playing bigger games. The levels are so good that it made me wonder how it is possible to achieve this kind of level structure. The mechanics are not more than a few, but the usage of these mechanics is amazing. It has a good story too. Don't fall into the cute-looking graphics of this game; it is very challenging.

A game with astonishing visual style and animations. I remember being surprised at how fluid this game was when I first saw it. Once you get the controls, which are carefully designed and easy to get into, the game just puts you in a flow state. It is a difficult game, though; it was really hard to complete 3BC and 5BC. Favorite weapon: Snake Fangs. Favorite power: Diverse Deck. Favorite mutation: Predator.

Doom II is my first ever video game and is still one of my favorites. Thanks to the developers, I have the mobile version downloaded on my phone. While the new versions of your favorite game being released are amazing in and of themselves, these new versions are also fantastic. DOOM Eternal does not just successfully keep up with the great action-filled gameplay from DOOM (2016); it presents new mechanics and is a huge addition to the lore. Few games can make the player read the lore text you find around during the campaign. The soundtrack is amazing. If you struggle to achieve something, just listen to The Only Thing They Fear Is You by Mick Gordon and go conquer the sun.

This is a great soulslike game. Graphics are amazing, and so is the atmosphere. Detailly crafted world with a decent story, including a good game play. Overall, it was a chill experience. I expected it to be more difficult, but that is the trade-off, I guess. It feels like a combination of different FromSoftware games. I had fun.

This one is probably the most unique game I have ever played. The aging mechanic brings a different perspective to the roguelike games. The learning curve is super high, yet so rewarding. It feels so satisfying to return to the first level—which you need to do—and destroy the enemies after playing for a while. The first hardest thing for me to grasp was the dodge button not being on B (or square). A lot of games have this one, and it becomes a habit after a while. The second one is the movement addition to the deflect/block mechanic. I tried to get used to it for a while, then I did, and then I realized it is not that much of a necessity. An amazing game if you are patient enough.

I don't remember enjoying the combat in any game this much. It felt like I was dancing with the enemy during the fight. Since this is my first souls-like game ever, I spent a few hours, in the beginning, trying to understand what the hell was going on, but after getting used to the controls, I came to the conclusion that no other game has this feel of combat. It just feels epic; it makes your blood boil. The game proceeds to throw something new at you continuously, which keeps the excitement alive. The soundtrack and sound effects are also awesome. This game definitely deserves its Game of the Year title.
