Probably the greatest survival early access game on any platform. Surprinsingly well balanced for a beta, Rust's crafting and building systems are refreshing compared to some other games of this type. The community and item market are as active as the developpers, which update the game every week adding a considerable amount of new content and fixes. Because of it being always perfectionned by the devs, we can expect it to have alot more content by it's release.

Nice game, at first terrifying, very atmospheric, you get very scared of the depth at start and slowly you overcome this fear with better equipment, gadgets and other upgrades. gameplay is cool, makes you go explore different underwater biomes to find specifics components. Fauna really well done, you can meet alot of cute/disgusting/horrible/friendly creatures. There really is a different adjective for every one of them, lore/easter eggs, regular updates keep adding actual content. An example compared to those other survival indie games out there. Hopefully Co-op comes someday.

Base version definitely better than base Civ V. They did good to fix the game soon enough though. Hopefully DLCs will come soon to add mechanics and make tall civs something again. Two leaders for one civ is a cheap trick in my opinion, still fun to play and refreshing. District are a welcome addition, it changes alot from Civ where you built every buildings in every city and really make you think about a long-term development paths for your cities, individually. Civics are nice, but a little overwhelming by moments. Bold Artstyle appreciated by others, some don't like it; I do. Ghandi still a backstabbing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Laggy, stopped being updated a while ago, multiplayer literally unplayable, it had potential in my opinion, but the devs let this game behind to work on Roguelands I guess... (Go see what it is, you'll be surprised)

There are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Thomas everywhere

My relationship with Payday 2 is very unstable. I love the game itself, but the DLCs... MAAAAAN there's 5 times the value of the game in DLCs! I'm not a 'professional reviewer' so i guess my review won't be as useful as some. Anyway, as you can see above, i've played around 300 hours of Payday 2. I love playing it with friends, it's a great Co-op shooter and one of my favorite games. I feel kind of ashamed to buy a DLC when it's for Payday though, just look at their DLC practise : They often release new DLCs, which are around 5 to 8$. You'll like them at first, but one year later you'll find out that released 3 other DLCs that pratically make the one you bought useless. I don't see how they could NEED more money to the point where they are almost whoring for more money in that Crimefest update (which is supposed to add free stuff every year.) Especially when all the content they made yet for Payday 2 and the game itself is worth around 130$. And now, what do we see?! Stuff that we often see in FREE TO PLAY games. Heisters from all around the world put efforts into doing the goals that were required to get the most out of the Crimefest, which is all about free content. So now, for the great opening of Crimefest, the first day of this annual celebration : A CS:GO System! Loot safes (crates) and buy a drill (Which correspond to a key, at a price of 3$. And it CANNOT be bought with in-game currency.) Gun skins! Which are in other words gun modifications that you have to pay real money to get. I feel like they're making fun of us in this update. Also, to add a system like that, they must really have thinked about it. So they did, at a moment of another, think about that : There's going to be alot of people not liking it but... the money tho... Or they all really tought that everyone would enjoy that. They are game developpers damnit! There must be a minimum IQ to do this, right?! So, in short, what they did today is release 5.3 GO of content that doesn't do anything if you're not willing to pay for it. So for that, i'm going to put a negative note. Hopefully this will change and they will completely rethink the mess they've made. There are still 9 more Crimefest days, I hope they are planning them better than this one... My review may change if they fix the thing here, I really hope that I will HAVE to change it.

EDIT :

Years earlier, Overkill told us that there weren't going to be any micro-transactions, I quote Almir for this : "We've made it clear that PAYDAY 2 will have no micro-transactions whatsoever (shame on you if you thought otherwise!)" Look at this if you don't believe me : http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3127521

First day of Crimefest, they add micro-transactions. They didn't do anything to understand the problem when they saw the thousands of people commenting in a negative way in the Crimefest event commentary section.

I mean, just at that Strawpoll : http://strawpoll.me/5742975/r
I was sure that ehy would do something at least to show they know their update didn't go as planned.
Second day of crimefest : FIVE MASKS that you can only unlock WITH THIS CRATE AND KEYS SYSTEM. So, the first and the second day of Crimefest still add nothing if i'm not willing to pay for it.

"We've made it clear that PAYDAY 2 will have no micro-transactions whatsoever (shame on you if you thought otherwise!)" -Overgreed - A Valve inspired studio.

CONCLUSION : Avoid it at all cost if it doesn't get any better in that Crimefest.

This game wasted "0.1 hours" of my time according to Steam.
Moar like 0.05 hours. PFFFFFT

Scénario très basique, je n'ai pas pu finir le jeu moi-même à cause du rame constant, gameplay peu recherché et très répétitif. Comme certains, je ne comprend pas la médiatisation abusée du jeu, il n'en vaut pas une seule des cent que j'ai payé. J'ai simplement versé 60$ aux poubelles. Moi ce que j'en vois, c'est qu'ils se sont arrangés pour bien paraître à l'E3 mais on caché tout les points sombres derrière, c'est à dire presque l'intégralité du jeu. J'étais de ceux qui attendaient avec impatience le jeu. Ma déception ne fut que pire. Pour moi désormais, chaque fois que je penserai à Ubisoft, je ne penserai qu'à cette tâche. Je l'ai acheté à sa sortie, puis j'ai dû attendre plusieurs semaines pour le patch AMD. Je crois que Ubisoft rit bien de notre gueule d'avoir réussi à avoir fait tant avec une telle arnaque. C'est fini, je boycott Ubisoft. J'ai été trop déçu. Le jeu est plein aux as de bugs et Ubisoft est plein aux as de notre argent. Si vous hésitez à l'acheter, lisez aussi les autres critiques. celle ci n'est peut-être pas très constructive, mais j'y ai écrit ce que je pensait. ce jeu ne vaux pas UNE SEULE de mes cents.
