Wait for the game to actually work before buying it. Game constantly crashes and is unplayable! Good job GSC for rushing it out.

Playing since 2011 and i keep coming back to PoE to experience an even better game every time. The most addictive ARPG i've ever played to the point i kept sinking time into hardcore characters only to lose them early on and start over right away rinse and repeat. A must play if you love ARPGs like Diablo, Titan quest, Grim dawn.

Realizing i never reviewed Destiny 2 i felt i should leave a review of one of the most garbage missteps ive ever seen in gaming. Seeing Destiny as a whole degrade into an absolute ♥♥♥♥ fest of a game and removing content because they have no idea how to fix crashes and loading so remove content. Imagine playing your favorite MMO and all the old expansions get pulled that you paid for. Their excuse was not many players played on those planets or did the content but lol bye story too. Their flip flopping on pulled weapons and what is vaulted or not is laughable. Bungie was a top tier dev but quickly devolved into trash tier. Id easily be playing Destiny 2 to this day if they chose to not remove content i paid for but i can safely say ill never touch any of their games again.

Hades 2 starts off strong but you start to realize a lot of its faults the more time you put into it. While the speed may not bother everyone its a much slower game than Hades 1 and doesn't play as great. The wide open areas while an interesting change (Fields of mourning) they just end up making you backtrack around and waste time unlike Hades 1 which was fast and consistent areas to push you forward and just faster combat in general. Its still a great game but a lot more flawed than Hades 1

Really enjoying coming back to ESO and just chilling to do a few story quest. Running mostly maxed on Steamdeck OLED makes this game look great too. Pick it up on sale for $5 usually with no monthly fee makes it a good casual MMO. Everything being voiced is always a plus too for immersion.

The game definitely starts out slow so if you aren't patient or don't like games that don't absolutely wow you right away then Starfield may not be for you but if you can give the game a little time it constantly builds into something amazing and worthwhile. Learning the ins and outs of the menus can take some time and may seem cumbersome but learning how to quickly call up planet maps and knowing the ins and outs solves a lot of the menu diving.

If you like classic RPGs or RPGs in general then you should be planning to play BG3 at some point as its a pinnacle game. When you treat your fans with respect like giving deluxe versions for free to early buyers and not adding pointless ways to siphon money from them you earn buyers for life to future releases.

Also me and the boys had our ♥♥♥♥♥ out in camp after destroying countless goblin encampments. How could this not be a 10/10 game you ask?

This is just a lifeless reimagining of a great MP game called Hawken. I don't know what they were thinking trying to do a whole new game without MP. This has almost no content and the story missions they have use terrible ai. Early access or not you should absolutely avoid this and hope the actual Hawken comes back at some point. Don't forget the cash shop already in the game! AVOID



Edit: Lets just call it Hawken Aborted.

Best Souls game ever made. Performance issues aside the game still runs fine and can be forgiven till its patched more unlike Bloodborne which is broke frame pacing forever.

Despite any launch issues and weird performance quirks this is by far the best MMO i've played since WoW. The game being retrofitted from a survival game to a MMO shows with how great the gathering and crafting system is and the combat has been surprisingly good. If you at all like MMOs you should be buying this.



Update: I had to change my review to not recommend as Amazon has continually showed they don't know what they are doing with this game with the constant exploits and bugs then taking weeks if not more just to fix something they broke.
