What the heck is this?

Quake is my favorite game. So HROT, why are you doing this to me?

Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to be the next-gen RPG game of our time. Overpromised game mechanics never saw light, a total pile of lies was essentially the marketing behind Cyberpunk 2077 all these f@cking 8 years. If i had to make a complete review about this game, it would be painfully long. So instead i'll break down all the game mechanics of Cyberpunk 2077 and give an another game as an example that did better job....and it's probably a decade old or more so.

AI= GTA San Andreas
Immersive Sim= Deus Ex Human Revolution (Not even the first one)
Shooting/gunplay= Unreal Tourn.... just kidding that would be so unfair. Just every other fps game done a better job
Hacking= System Shock, f@ck it even Thief had better "hacking" than Cuberpunk 2077
Stealth= Tenchu: Stealth Assassins
Mini games= Doom (yes Doom has more mini games)
Driving= SuperTuxKart
RPG= Skyrim (the worst rpg ever made, now it's the second one)
Story= Witcher 1
Customisation= Tamagotchi
Music/Audio= Music is actually ok but Audio oh man...
Optimization= Batman: Arkham Knight
Open World= One of the most visually stunning worlds, but an open world missing the basic functions in order to be immersive, like interaction with NPCs, mini games, AI...etc this beautiful open world is just a hollow shell. So Sleeping Dogs had a better and more immersive open world.

As a huge victim of the marketistic lies of CDPR i totally cannot recommend this game, not even if all the bugs and glitches are fixed. I didn't say anything about those because the underline problem of the game is not bugs and glitches, these things can be fixed, but and empty game is not about fixing, it's about lies and deceit.

Cuberpunk 2077: the prettiest and most expensive early access-pre pre pre alpha game i ever played.

MY EYES! MY EYEEEES!

I know that scummy behavior is part of how russians live and interact each other, but oh man this game. F2p is a model that 80% of the games are cash grabbing machines, but there are some exceptions like Warframe, that made grinding fun and you don't have to spend even a penny. Also other f2p games that has no major player base, so they don't have anything to lose.

I came to War Thunder because i wanted to play something with tanks and the only 2 options are WoT (that is the worst thing ever) and War Thunder. So, the game is frustrating at best, monetization doesn't make sense. For an example for every tank you take you'll need a crew, that is new and has no experience, what that means in the game? Gunner has parkinsons and aim is wobbly and you'll have to grind a lot in order to level up and be good. Why exactly gunner has parkinsons? Grind is not a dynamic and logical process, it just a bunch of obstacles away from having fun. Arcade mode supposed to be fun, but the fact is that you'll have, about 5 mins if you are doing well (duration of every arcade game is about 5-7mins max), and if you're not you'll die in first 2 minutes lose all respawns and you'll have to just wait to finish the game. YEAH FUN!!!

That's the hole point, the game is NOT fun, except if you pay and get rid of all the bs. Grind isn't the problem with f2p, the problem is how it's implemented.

War Thunder stop being slightly better from WoT and just be a good game.

Wake up Tenno.

Trully well crafted survival game. The atmosphere is stunning, that makes the word of subnautica a wonderfull place to explore. Exploration is the driving force and all journeys are very rewarding experiences. Also terror lies in the depths and believe it's one of the most terrifing feeling you can get from a game.

Well done for the dev team and please continue like that.

Alien Arena: Warrors of Mars is a classic Warrors arena fps . It's kinda funny that warrors are really special even the name is. WARRORS... so much better than Warriors. It's the perfect Warrors game for trully warror gamers.

System Shock? Is that you?

WHERE IS HL3?
