TIP: Buy this game on sale, I got it for a little less than 20€.

The game is absolutely gorgeous, I mean, one of the most beautiful games I have ever played! But the story is really lackluster, it's written for 6 year olds which doesn't make it bad just less engaging.

The fighting mechanics are great, it's has good RPG elements and it's really fun to fight simple mobs and bosses, but after the 8-10 hour mark, you start getting this top view auto battler (don't know the type of combat) but it gets boring really fast and then you have to manage an entire city as if you were playing a mobile game, so after the 10 hour mark, it's like playing a different game and even though the game is absolutely gorgeous, the story isn't worth the boring top view combat, it became boring really fast to me.

Anyway, first 10 hours were absolutely awesome, and if it were for those 10 hours alone, this game is easily in my top10, but I couldn't finish the story or fight any more awesome bosses because it simply became boring.

The game is pretty solid, I got it on sale for 5€, since its the best Batman game regarding critics, it simply could not fail me and it really didnt!

COMBAT SYSTEM:
The game is solid "A F" the combat system is plain simple and satisfying, there are about 12 special abilities with infinte ammo "YES INFINITE USAGE" (we really dont see it that often), and every single abillitie had a role in the game, its not like the Batarang is OP but rather situational the Remote control version of it is great for solving puzzles. I could talk about all of them but i'd rather say, "They all have a role in the game".

GRAPHICS:
Everything feels solid, the graphics have some cartoon feel to it, thus they dont hurt your vision, anything can handle them i have a 960 2gb and Pentium G3258 (2 cores 2 threads, clocked at 4.2Ghz) and had no problems in Frame Rates, i did not bother turning off Vsync because you simply dont benefit that much from higher FPS in Single Player games.

TIME:
The Story took me 10H to complete in normal difficultie (what a normie).
The side quest could take you extra 10H maybe more if you explore the world, but i simply didnt care about them after i completed the game because they are tad repetitive.

STORY ( no spoilers):
Its straight forward and has good writting, its complicated to predict what is going to happend, for example i had no ♥♥♥♥♥ clue when the game was going to finish:
As far as I noticed there is Batman, Catwomen, Robin, Ivy, Joker; Harley quinn, Mr Freeze, Deadshot and some other relevant heroes/villains in the game (tho, some are in side quest).

Rating:
Mario 64=10/10
HALO CE= 9/10
DOOM (2016)=8/10
Batman Arkham city GOTY= 7/10 (and i only played it for 11 H)

Brought Overwatch for a solid 40€, played it non stop for about 200H in 3 months in School time, i was pretty decent at the game, Tank meta came i got better and reached Diamond, game got boring right after, saw Summit1G stream, decided to give Paladins a try.

Shouldnt have, this game is a Solid Copy paste.


Trys to blindly copy 3 sucesfull games, COD, LOL, OW of whom all three were massive games i played, doesnt get 1 thing right from any of them, hey at least i gave it a try.

So you get an idea,

Time played:
Call of duty black ops 1&2, Ghost, Black ops 3= 700h
Overwatch= 300h
League of legends= 182days (yeah thats right).

Do not Recomend, get Overwatch, unless u have a toaster pc Plants vs zombies is actually better.
Haters come at me.

I once had a friend...Told him about Rocket league, never saw him again.

Now i dont have friends,
The end.

Need for speed Hot Pursuit, is a game that I've invested about 30H on, had this game on playstation, got it for only 20€ back in 2011, the game didnt sell well, it was a different style from the trending roots back in the 2000's, it had decent critics, around 8/10, brought it again a few days ago for only 3€ (dirt cheap).

My opinion, pros and cons about the game.

Pros:
-Most cars have a solid sound;
-The driving feels soft (can be a con);
-Graphics are still pretty;
-Has a good variaty of cars;
-Has the Carrera GT and Mclaren F1;
-The online is pretty much the best ever;
-American cars look and sound Murican to me;
-Cops are actually challenging, not dummies like NFS 2k15.

Cons:
-Lambos drive like toys and sound like toys, forget the bull side of things;
-AI is sometimes the biggest noob ever, but sometimes your driving a faster car a top speed but they still get you;
-70% racer cars are convertibles, personal taste, barelly noticeble but ffs Convertible Reventon, Veyron, 370Z, Zonda, Viper, Corvette, Lambos, etc...what were they thinking?!?!?;
-No actual player base;
-Grinding the few first classes, were a pain;
-Low end cars are all the same (driving terms);
-The velocity aspect is all ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, going at 300km/h feels like 100km/h IRL;
-No story, feels like a kid smacked his head into the keyboard and typed Autolog.
-10H single player, no Rival, the last race is long but still would have rather have a story written by a potato.

Real Talk:
So lets trash talk a bit, this game is by no means even worth 5€, i had this brought for me and gifted to a friend, so at least i had someone to compete with, do not buy this game alone, the game does not create any nostalgia, i played it a few years back but had no interest in playing it ever again until i saw it for 3€, the community is pretty much dead, no one plays it, got a full queue for a few hours but hard to find anyways and you have to grind the single player to get decent cars in multiplayer that nobody plays.

Need for speed story:
I've played pretty much every decent NFS, Underground, Underground 2, Most wanted, Carbon, Prostreet (not that great), Undercover (barelly any play time), Shift (barelly any play time), Most wanted (2012) and NFS 2015, you can see that im not new to the scene, i just didnt play the older ones, because my dad didnt introduce me into them, im only 16 and i've had almost every NFS since i can remember (was too young).

I rate this game a solid:
8/10 in 2010
4.5/10 in 2017

If you love zombies, this is the modern benchmark for a zombie game.

After Editing my review more than 8 times in the span of 2 years I can tell you this game is "INCONSISTENT" and so i decided to UNLEASH MY FINAL FORM WITH THIS ONE!

Early-Acess (2015)
So basicly like most Z1 players, I got to this game due to some mid tier streamers like Trick2G for me and summit, etc... for others.

Bugs:
Well it had a lot of ♥♥♥♥♥ bugs, i remember saying constatly to my friends that this game had more bugs than Africa, most of the times the client didnt work and i couldnt even log in, when i did getting into the game, i couldnt even find a plausible match, the matchmaking was hilariously stupid!
There were invisible obstacules that would insta explode your car (OH YEAH), cars randomly disappear, spawns were ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, sometimes people were flying and LAG was a big problem whoever could get a consistent high ping 100-150ms would have a clear advantage.

Loot:
Best part of the Z1 map, it felt satisfying picking up pistols because no one could ever find anything else early on, other than the Shotty and maybe AR, it felt rewarding not giving a crap on wich fights you should and shouldn't take.
Whoever found the holy AK-47 had a boost of 9000% to win the game (AK was tad OP back then).

MAP:
Z1 was clean dude, there were so many good things about it, every time i would spawn around the Dam i would rush the glorious "DEATH CAMP", "good times", always felt good rushing the caravan and getting a backpack with some shoes and running till someone had the competent skills of hitting a shot!

Early-Acess (2016)

RESUMED:
THEY ♥♥♥♥♥ WENT FROM HAVING 1 GAME TOO HAVING 2 DLCS
They went full EA on this one and said "♥♥♥♥ it" and got 2 DLCS (KOTK and Survival) of a already crappy game.

I didnt play much in this time because they did the worst thing possible, "CHANGE THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GODLIKE MAP", its like switching from HALO to COD, not only that like mentioned before they changed a early acess game to 2 early acess DLCs and that was complete garbage and against my gaming mindset.

Early-Acess (2017)
Still in early acess (the memes), the game was going on a decent route but the patches came slow, and stuff stayed bugged for too long, the AK was so nerf the Crossbow was more usefull, AR is/was the only existing gun, every good player went for 3 AR's in later stages, other than that nothing was usefull (maybe the "SITUATIONAL NOT CONSISTENT SHOTGUN " was usefull who knows).

Skins:
They milked them so fkign hard, srly cases are so expensive, they still have the stupid loot system of 50 crates = good item, and thats so against gambling rules, it pretty much tells that, you dont have a chance of getting any good items in low tier crates, thus they motivate you to not get any crates at all (what happend to be the case for me) and skins are so overpriced just due to rarity.


QUIT!
They kept changing the game to worse and i decided it was bad for my health to keep playing it, thus i now quit for good, Devs still keep on patching the game (tad bit more often now), but it will never be quite good enough to compensate the brain damage.

FINAL NOTE:
PUBG than came and signed the H1Z1 "death note".
