I want to begin my review saying this. Yes, I had my doubts with this game. I haven't enjoyed ANY game from Bloober Team (and I'm glad they've recognized their mistakes aswell), and when I knew they were in charge of the remake of one of my favorite games of all time, I was totally skeptical. And I'm happy I was proven wrong.

I don't know if it was the direction that was given to Bloober, but they have managed to create a brilliant reinterpretation of the old classic. It's well paced, the story has been improved in every aspect, and all the themes, even the more delicated ones, are respectfully represented.

Graphically it's just impressive, but very flawed. There's alot of stuttering, and all cutscenes run at 30fps with no way to change this. Facial expressions, assets and monster designs are top notch. The town feels very credible. I don't know how to describe it, but very corner, alley, and vehicle feels like it's natural for it to be there. Like it's really a ghost town.

The sound design is perfect. Walking inside a dark corridor while the radio creats a loud pitch out of nowhere still gives me chills in this remake. Although, my opinion in the soundtrack differs. For me, the music tracks are better in the original.

In conclusion, I DON'T think this remake can replace the masterpiece that was created 20 years ago. BUT, it's an incredible reimagination of it. This is definetly my favorite game of this year. It's just that good.

An amazing, stunning and entertaining wonder, and my pick for best multiplayer game of 2024.

Helldivers 1 was really fun. And even if this game is missing one of the 3 enemy factions from its predecessor (at the moment of this review, but I know it will be added soon), it has enough content to recommend it right now. The combat is just so satisfying. It has the movement and shooting from MGS V, mixed with the gameplay loop from Left 4 Dead. You arrive at a randomly generated planet, kill a bunch of insects/robots, do the objectives, collect samples, earn money, go to the extraction point, return to your base, and repeat. Even if this seems boring, It's so addictive and fun to play, and even more if you can play it with friends.

There are tons of weapons, armors, and support skills to unlock. Some of them are good, some of them are garbage, but at least there is variety.

Although the game is presented as a live service game, it is not predatory in the slightlest. No lootboxes, no FOMO practices. Everything that is in the game you can obtain it just by playing. Sure, you need to grind for them, but it isn't as time consuming as in other games. And even if you want to pay for the content with real money, every DLC is really cheap, and it comes with skins, emotes, weapons, etc. And almost every 3 weeks a new Warbond gets released. Arrowhead is doing a good job in this front.

The soundtrak is great, and the main theme will be engraved in your memory, it is that epic. But even better, is the art design. Every planet, enemy, and armor looks great. I must say, the game has plenty of bugs, but they do not diminish the experience at all, and some of them are really funny (it reminds me to Skyrim at times).

Even if this is not your typical type of game, do yourself a favor and try it out. You will not regret it. FOR SUPER EARTH.

I just love this game so much, and I cannot wait for the sequel to come out.

It's a twin stick shooter with an online co-op focused gameplay. Heavily inspired in the Starship Troopers movie, obviously, but that's what make this game great. Although it's better to play it with friends, you can also play it online with random people. The community may be very small, but it´s one of the nicest community I've ever encountered in a game.

I'm doing my part!

It´s just a very simple and chill game, but I cannot explain how can it make me feel enthusiastic, nostalgic, and relaxed. The music is great, what you'd come to expect from a retrowave inspired game. Graphically it isn't astonishing at all but it does the job, and there is also a very nice VHS filter that you can enable and disable at convenience. There is a decent number of vehicles and customization options to unlock. The multiplayer part is dead, though. And the sound design could be better.

Overall, I think it's money well spent, Nice game.

Not enough content, really.
It's a shame, because this game feels great, but seeing that no one is playing anymore, it's not worth getting.

De los mejores juegos que he jugado este año. Buenos gráficos, jugabilidad genial, modo mercenarios, un DLC estupendo, y esta vez no me dieron ganas de matar yo mismo a Ashley. 10/10

No hay forma de aumentar la resolución del juego, la cual nativamente tal vez este cerca de los 480p, y en full screen se ve simplemente terrible. Y viendo que este port ya tiene años en steam, no veo la posibilidad de que lo actualicen. Gran juego, pésimo port.

Just finished it, and it was great! Around 5-6 hours of content, with returning bosses/sections that were missing in the base game, and it also includes some new stuff to tie in perfectly with RE5 (a hint to a remake of this game perhaps?).

If you enjoyed the remake, this DLC is a must.

First of, this is not a Dungeon Crawler game (e.g. Diablo), like it may seem. This is a survival game, more similar to Valheim. But it is one of the best survival games I've ever played, and it's crazy to think it's still in development.

This game has everything I like in this type of titles:

- A deep and well layered world, with tons of enemies, bosses, and biomes.
- A robust progression system that doesn't cut you from the experience by making you grind endlessly for resources, and at the same time, it feels rewarding for everything you accomplish.
- A well designed building system, with tons of decorations (I haven't unlocked every decorative item yet).

Instead of looking for food and water, you need to drink the blood of your enemies in order to survive. This also gives you certain buffs depending on the type of blood and it's "puracy". You can also recruit any human and make it your servant, and send him to fight and collect things for you.

There are a lot of magic spells to obtain by killing bosses, and 4 types of melee weapons (that I've discovered so far). You can move more freely during the night, since the sun can easily kill you, and even if this may seems trivial, I think it makes a difference on how you play this game compared to others.

I'm sure there are more things I've yet to discover, and I cannot recommend this game enough. If you like survival games, give this game a try. You won't regret it.

Even with the clunky controls, the annyoing and over saturated QTE's, and the remake coming out soon, this game is still a classic and a "must play" for the fans of this franchise. I encourage everyone who wants to play this game to download the HD MOD alongside with it, it's seriously a life changer.
