There once was a people so peacefully
When a meteor destroyed them infamously
Now there's only one around
And everyone's found
They'll save the planet eventually.

BOOM BAM Kersplat-o, blim blam blast blammo
stomp stamp and shred, all your enemies are dead.

SHWING REV and crunch, grind guts for your lunch
Bang clunk and tear, your organs I'll wear.

SMASHY and SMASHY your trashed metal chassis,
I'll stomp on your head once I've filled you with lead.

GO FOR THE EYES is a trick I'd advise,
After ripping your sclera your blood's my mascara.

Sometimes I'm lost, in rooms I've thrice crossed,
but my guns sing a song, that you won't live for long.

I'm running and gunning, pixels overrunning
popping fleshy meatbags, so much gore you could gag.

Like little billboards, your foes swivel towards
your gun in the room will signal their doom.

Kind of on the nose this one
But does it matter if it's fun
Clear out the room
In legendary Doom
So rip and tear until it's done

In a lot of ways it's really like Doom,
with pixel-art, ripping and tearing as well,
But this one's set in a far future of gloom,
And though it has demons they are not from hell.

I don't know this one, I've not played enough,
Figuring it out has proved pretty tough.
Admittedly it isnt much of a review
More of a preview
Just a casual summary
Of a game stuck in my memory
A old favorite rpg
That changed little ol me.

So how about a review proper
Set in a city most unusual
Instead of on the ground, this one's a floater
Run by a massive company
Blinding their customers with infamy
While people live with convenience and health
The planet is drained to death

Thus with acts of terrorism
You save the world with great heroism
Though what a twist
A greater threat exists.

Wonderful story and customizable combat
With great orbs of power
Can you win in the darkest hour
One of the greatest games and thats that.

Ok, it references FFX, Not VII, but that was the most recent one when this was first put on Newgrounds

Living under a rock, you may just have missed
A game that's presumed on the GOTY list
And like that, you'd assume that it's gonna be great,
With a legion of fans you ought not to frustrate
But I'm sorry to say, cause it sounds rather rough,
But as a matter of fact, it's just not good enough.

A lack of straight plusses or minuses plague us
More "buts" in review than a weekend in Vegas.
There's nothing that's good unconditionally
There's more caveats than are twigs on a tree.
It's a game with good legs, but a face like a bum
A pity coz that's where the dialogue's from.

Sometimes I'd look and I'd wonder, "what's there?"
But there's not much to see and no reason to care.
You will travel the same patch of proc gen terrain
the same buildings and creatures, it's all the same vein.
That wouldn't be bad, until you realise,
the placement's the same, and your interest dies.

Persuasion's a series of nonsense non sequiturs
I could come up with better while sat on the shitter.
Facial animation's a step up of one foot
but the people all look like claymation kaput.
The Voice acting and writing is all so banal
I somehow got married for no reason at all.

The clutter looks nice but the inventory's dull
The spaceships look good but the cargo is full
The story's finale wants me to replay it
But I can't even load it, the name I can't say it.
I spent a hundred or more hours on this
but it was never bad, and it never was bliss.
