Dark Souls is art. I honestly think it is one of the best games of the decade. I'm sure most people have a general idea of what Dark Souls is like, but for people who don't, I can explain. Dark Souls is a dark fantasy game what has a big focus on difficultly and action. Dark Souls is so difficult for many reasons. First, the game gives you little to no information on what the hell is going on, and you are just dropped into an asylum full of enemies, and you aimlessly explore the vast lands of Dark Souls. Without the internet, most people would probably have no idea where to go, and have no idea what each game mechanic is used for. The next thing that makes the game so difficult is the enemies. Most enemies/bosses will put on a big fight that involves parrying, dodging, slashing. It is a little hard to get used to for new Dark Souls players, but most people get used to it pretty quickly. Also I must say, the movement is very smooth and well done. Most of the difficulty is challenging but fair, but there are some moments where there are very cheap tactics to make an area difficult. For example, the Capra Demon is a boss that is in a tiny arena that you can barely have room to breathe in, and there are two dogs that chases you around while you fight the Capra Demon. Another example of very cheap difficulty is the Tomb of Giants. This place is pitch black, there are enemies everywhere, and there are ledges that you can fall off very easily. It is extremely annoying, and it doesn't even seem that fair. Another thing that makes the game so hard is the areas. Your "checkpoints" are bonfires that you can rest at, restore health, and do other things at. It feels so rewarding after exploring a fighting through a massive and dangerous area, but seeing a bonfire in the distance. Honestly, I could go on and on about things that make the game so difficult, but I need to cover other topics about Dark Souls. Something that makes Dark Souls so good is the lore behind everything. All the NPC's that you come across basically speak in riddles, and you mostly have to rely on item descriptions, world clues, and decoding NPC's odd dialogue. I honestly love how cryptic everything is in this game. The story is very open ended, so you can make what you want out of some of it. There are some great videos on on Youtube about the story, and I highly recommend checking those out if you want to learn more about the story of Dark Souls. Something else I need to mention is this games map design. I don't know where to begin! The map design is some of the most creative stuff I have ever seen in a video game. To start, the entire map is tied together beautifully. You will be halfway through the game, and you can find multiple short cuts to get back to the beginning areas of the game. Dark Souls sort of has a fast travel system, but it is very limited, so you must rely on memorizing short cuts between areas. Once you know your way around the map, it feels so rewarding. Dark Souls also has tons of player freedom. There are multiple classes you can choose from at the beginning of the game, and you can choose to level up different skills at bonfires. So if you wanted to have a high dexterity build, you could do that. Or if you wanted to have a super strong tank build, you could to that. There are also tons and tons of different weapons ranging from giant saws, little daggers, flaming swords, bows, crossbows, and spells. There is also a huge variety of armor and shields to choose from. Overall, this game is fantastic. It is not for everyone, but for those who like a challenge with very rewarding game play, buy this game.

8/10

Rainbow Six is a slow paced, tatical multiplayer shooter. This game is not for everyone because of its big learning curve but when you get the hang of it and understand the core mechanics its very fun and rewarding and is very fun to play with freinds. Having all the different characters (operators) to choose from is very nice and their all very unique. There will always be atleast one that should fit your playstyle. Something I love about this game is how you can get very creative with having breakable walls, breakeable doors, ceilings etc and all the operators gadgets and abilitys to counter that. Now I will get into the catagories

Graphics: 7/10- Good enough.
Soundtrack: 3/10- Barely has one but thats not an issue.
Sounds- 9/10- Very detailed
Playerbase- 5/10- Honestly this depends on who you're in a lobby with.
Bugs- 4/10- Not too many bugs.
Progression- 7/10- Not too much to say here. There is leveling up and you get renoun (the in-game currency) to get new operators and cosmetics.
Replayability- 10/10- Its hard for this game to get old and the game does not feel repetitive.
Uniqueness- 9/10-This game is so unique in so many ways I dont know where to start.
Performance- 7/10- Not too hard to run even on a low/mid end PC.

Overall score: 9.6/10! Rainbow Six is a very addictive and rewarding game! It feels so good to get better and better and its easy to learn from your mistakes. It feels very fresh and has a great variety of operators (playable characters) and great maps and map design. The last thing no note is I dont at all recommend getting the starter edition. You will have to grind a lot more to get new operators which makes for a more frusterating experience having to grind so much for one single new operator.

THIS GAME IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.
GET IT!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!

first of all. As far as gameplay and story goes, this game in some ways is better than dishonored 1. But there of course is all the proformence issues. So until the game gets fixed i wouuld say wait to buy it. But when they fix the bugs this will easily be a amazing game.

repetive as hell. and really bad frame rate on low settings. just aweful

Story- 9/10
Combat- 6/10
Graphics- 9/10
Performance- 6/10
Soundtrack- 8/10
Sounds- 7/10
Replay Value- 8/10
Immersion/atmosphere- 10/10
Map design- 8/10
Quests/side-quests- 7/10

Overall- 70/10 (7/10)

amazing game (so far)

BUT it is a really bad pc port so to get the game working properly you must install a ♥♥♥♥ load o mods just to get the game working like it should.

other than that 7/10.

I got this game from selling a CS:GO knife...




100% worth it.

I wouldent say this game is better than day z but its definitely a game to try out. Still a really good game though.
