You know I gotta say, Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best triple A games I think I ever played in my entire time of Gaming for over 10 years. I also got this game back in June of 2023 when it was on sale for like almost 20 dollars which I think was worth it than spending the full 60 dollars. So far in my almost 40 hours of total playtime, what I liked about the game is that it had a rich storyline and really in general good characters, also the only two complaints I have about the game is really this one bug where an animal glitched through the ground and just the controls for the horse being somewhat clunky at times. But other than those two complaints. I had no other problems with this game whatsoever. Now honestly I haven't really tried Red Dead Online yet only because I've heard some stories about how that's been playing out which I won't get into but overall the story mode for Red Dead Redemption 2 has been a great experience by far better than any other triple A game I've played in the past. If I had to rate this game, I would probably give it an 8/10. Also thanks Rockstar Games for making such a Masterpiece of a game like this and that's all I gotta say.

Let me just say this right off the bat, I really have no hate for this game whatsoever and given my experience with this game for over 20 hours, it really hasn't been all that bad, also I got this game for a good deal back in April of 2023 as a birthday gift which was like 30 bucks and that's not a bad deal if I say so myself. When I first started playing this game, I was really blown away by the open world itself which has been quite a long time since GTA 5 but let me tell you this, the open world in this game is so fun to play around in like even if you do complete the main story you still have so many other things to do like side missions for example, I mean sure the story for Cyberpunk 2077 could've been better but I also encountered 3 different bugs in this game, well one of them being the shift key where you click to sprint had stopped working and I actually had to restart the game so I could sprint again which was really strange for the most part. The other two bugs I encountered such as t posing which was kinda funny actually and this one girl character I honestly forgot her name though but she would get on her bike and somehow she would sit on the ground as if it looked like she was sitting in mid air on the side of the bike while riding the bike, it's a little hard for me to explain but if you were to spend a long time playing this game you'd understand where I'm coming from. But aside from the few bugs in this game, it's got a lot of content the game has to offer and I have to thank CD Projekt Red for trying their best at updating the game to it's full potential at being a real open world game that people can enjoy. If I had to give a rating for this game I would probably give it an 7.5 out of 10, overall I still think this is a good game for what it is and if you're looking for a futuristic roleplaying game that is mixed with an open world to explore, then Cyberpunk 2077 might be your type of game to play.

This game was really fun to play and I actually happen to get it back at the end of March 2023 when it was on sale, it had a very good storyline, really good characters, a well thought out story to expand the plot things like that. But what I didn't like about the game was that it was lagging and crashing, I had a error popup on the game that had something to do with a crash report, I can't exactly remember what it was about but it was definitely really weird. Overall I really like the game and I hope the sequel to Horizon will be better than the first game whenever I do get a PS5 to play it on but, who knows really. Lastly, I wanna say that you'll probably spend at least under 20 hours with the main story and the DLC being around 2 to 3 hours long and I have to say it was definitely worth my time and as for Aloy, she was quite a decent character to play as I must say. That's all I have to say for my review for now. See yeah.

Let's be real here, in my personal point of view, I definitely have always preferred PUBG over Fortnite and alot of that comes down to the realism and survival instincts when it comes to gameplay wise, on the other hand Fortnite is nothing but a cartoon like shooter that's all about building those damn structures. PUBG like I said it usually focuses more on realistic gameplay that has to do with seeing who the last person standing will win while looting for items to use in combat while trying to keep yourself inside the ring without dying from like 80 to 100 different people.

If you've ever watched the Hunger Games movie or another one that came out of Japan from the early 2000's called "Battle Royale" then basically that's what PUBG is. Sure it does have it's own problems with the game here and there like the cheating part and honestly I totally agree, I do think the cheaters do need some kind of punishment if they're caught otherwise. Although there was a time when I first started playing this game earlier this year when I was in practice mode, I had a bot literally kill me without aiming down their sights which that I wasn't mad about or anything but, I thought it was very weird to me at first and luckily I still have a recording to prove all of this.

So far from my experience though, I haven't really dealt with any cheaters or hackers as much as other people have given my over 20 hours total playtime of this game like a casual gamer like everybody else in the crowd.

Also I was able to make a few friends with others on PUBG through the use of Discord and while sure yeah we were pretty horrible in a few matches from time to time, it was still pretty fun getting those kills and what not.

All I can say is that I enjoy PUBG for what it was going for and while I haven't been able to get a winner winner chicken dinner in the game I still enjoy it for what it is. If you're someone who's got tired of playing Fortnite or you're someone like me who is bad at Fortnite, then please give PUBG a go, because I promise you that you will not regret it especially given that the game has been free to play for about a couple months now at the time of me writing this.

Also, if you're someone who has 4 GB of RAM or less, then I don't think you'll be able to run this game, I ran this game on my new gaming computer around the same time this game went free to play back in January and oh boy it looked amazing on my new computer. Of course given that I have 16 GB of RAM, I'm not sure what it could've looked like on my old computer with 8 GB of RAM but, I'm pretty sure it would've looked a lot worse since my GB of RAM on that old computer was horrible for the time plus I still would've had to pay 30 dollars to get PUBG but luckily I don't have to worry about all that anymore.

I think that's about all I have to say, if you have any questions on what I've mentioned or said, then please feel free to reply to my review and one last thing before I go, if I had to give a rating for PUBG on PC, I would give it an 8 out of 10. Alright that's my review bye!

I mean here's the thing, the game is overall pretty good in of itself because I remember spending so much time with this game on Nintendo Switch and I also love the fact that I can transfer my progress over from Console to PC and vice versa but rather, it's the player toxicity is what gives this game a pretty bad name, now I know some of you will say, "Oh dude every game is toxic and blah blah blah!" but this is even worse when it comes to cross-play because I have had quite a few people trash talk at me in lobbies making horrific remarks asking if I have a disability and all sorts of different threats towards me, and what makes this even worse is the fact that there is no way to mute that player who is trash talking so, the only way you can mute the players is by going into settings and turning down the voice chat on all players, yeah I'm not even kidding about that and it's really dumb I know.

Not only have I had this happen over here on PC but also on Nintendo Switch, usually this only happens when you're playing Demolition though. But then when you're just playing other gamemodes such as Strikeout and Team Deathmatch, the toxicity of players are so rare in those gamemodes that it just makes me so baffled about it.

Like I said, the game itself is good and I never encountered any bugs or glitches on PC as far as I can tell you. However, the amount of players who act completely vulgar and just outright half-baked, it should really make you wonder whether or not it's worth playing this game in 2022 or if you're someone from the future who is reading this review for some odd reason. For right now in 2022, I recommend waiting until the "toxicity playerbase" dies out. Everyone else on Rogue Company I've played with usually don't use a mic and I don't use one either so, a lot of the times it's peaceful but then some other times it's not when you got that one toxic player or more that ruin the fun to try and hurt your feelings.

So First Watch Games, I know you're all the developers who had made this game and have given it the support it needs for the last several months since it first came out in 2020 but, you guys really need some kind of way to let players mute one or more that might be annoying or toxic in general because like, how are you supposed to enjoy the game where you have someone ruining the fun like this? I mean it just doesn't make sense and I only hope this will get resolved. Maybe one day if you all did added a feature to where you can only mute one, two, three, or more players whatever, then I will change my review to a thumbs up.

But for right now, I'm just gonna leave it as it is and see if my voice will be heard enough for the developers to listen to what I have to say about the game because everything else is fine and dandy but just one missing piece of the puzzle and that's to put it simply a mute system. That is all.

Okay first of all, let's do a recap of when I first tried to play Halo Infinite, so to put it simply, if you have a really old crappy computer that can run the old Halo games and not Halo Infinite, and like what Bangalore from Apex Legends will always say "If you can't keep up you're straight out of luck." yep that's what I'm saying, so if you don't have a new computer to play this game then you're stuck playing the old halo games but, why would anyone care anyways? Lol! I mean my old computer for Halo Infinite would always crash on startup because it acted like I didn't have the latest DirectX installed which I already did but the NVIDIA Graphics card I had previously couldn't run it so really, it was not a win win for me.

After getting a new computer earlier this year in January 2022 after my other computer went out in December 2021 at the time of me writing this, Halo Infinite didn't run all that bad on my new computer which is a Dell XPS 8940 with a GTX 1660 TI, but here's where the problems came in after playing it on my new computer, first of all, like what everyone was saying, you're not gonna get as much content in this game compared to most other free to play games like Apex Legends and PUBG, everything is put behind a paywall that you have to pay for in order to get some cool skins or weapons skins, whatever the case maybe, your still straight outta luck.

Another problem I have with Halo Infinite and trust me, I didn't really spend too much time with this new installment compared to the previous Halo games that I played as a kid and a teenager, it's mainly the feel of the game is what makes this different and the input controls really suck like they're not as great when you compare it to most games like Overwatch and Apex Legends, it's really unbearable and it drives me crazy.

The Battle Pass does offer some content in Season 2 which is not as bad compared to the first season, however you won't get as much XP compared to the Halo Master Chief Collection, it's really sad to see the state of Halo it's in now especially Call of Duty.

Again trust me I remember being exposed to Halo in 2008 at age 8 when my Dad randomly installed a Demo for Halo 1 and oh boy it was honestly so great for his Windows XP computer of the time and look at where Halo is at now, it just doesn't hit the same like it use to, I think it's just you know games change so much over time and I think as we end up growing up, video games grow up and that's why people like myself have moved on to other games like Apex Legends, Overwatch, PUBG, etc etc..

Maybe one day Halo will go back to it's simple roots in the next entry someday but, we'll have to wait and see if 343 is willing to do that or if Microsoft will hear someone like me out for the win win over here. That is all.

I mean I gotta be honest, this is one of the best Battle Royale games I have ever played, and yeah it's basically like the next Fortnite, expect it's 50 times better than that, mainly because of it having it's own characters to choose from with different set of abilities and how they'll function throughout every match you play, sure for someone who has an low end PC like me, my experience with this game here on PC Day 1 for me was kinda bad at times due to input lag, but I was able to fix it though, now if you're someone like me with an low end PC (in which btw I have an alienware Alpha i7 with an nvidia geforce gpu Graphics Card) and you wanna have better Optimization when it comes to performance and FPS, then I highly recommend go check out TroubleChute on Youtube, because he's made his own video on how you can get better FPS and not have any input lag on this game so go check him out please.

Overall Apex Legends is a really good game and I'm also looking forward to seeing this game come to the Nintendo Switch as Respawn Entertainment has already confirmed this a while back, especially showing footage gameplay of it on Youtube and it will be coming to Nintendo's Platform in 2021, so if you're someone who's looking for a game like Fortnite and Overwatch or if you're just looking for a free to play game to spend hours on end with, then I highly recommend this game and I also hope that Respawn will continue to update this game by adding new mechanics, characters, and more cosmetics to the table as we see this game slowly evolve in the near future.

If you're someone who enjoyed all the Halo games growing up as a kid like me, then 40 bucks is worth the price. (Well even though I got this from the Steam Summer Sale for like 32 bucks, but that's still a good price either way.)

Now I've played all these Halo games before and at the time of me writing this, I haven't played Halo 1 Combat Evolved Anniversary, nor Halo 2 Anniversary yet because I haven't installed them yet. But I can at least tell you that Halo Reach seems to work just fine on my PC, and in case if you are wondering what computer I used to play Halo Reach through PC, I use an Alienware Alpha i7 NVIDIA Geforce GPU, now as for the NVIDIA, it doesn't say what kind of GPU I have which is kinda strange to me actually, but I digress on that topic.

But the thing I can say though is that you may not have any problems running Halo on your Computer, at least that's what some gaming youtube channels are saying. So let me know if your computer is capable of running Halo MCC because I'm curious. But overall this really is worth the price for those who are excited about Halo 3 coming out on MCC to PC or if you're just someone who's a old school early 2000s type like Gamer idk.

This is overall a great survival game when it comes to resources. I know there's only a few features for this game but I'm sure once they start adding more features to the game, then I don't think this game won't be as bad depending on what there going to add for it in the near future.

Thanks ColdGames for making such a overall game and do I have to say I enjoy looking for resources around the entire map because that is one of the factors in surviving as it teaches us the ways of how we would survive in real life in case of getting stranded either on a lost island or even in a huge forest.

I'm really excited about the multiplayer coming because if I had any friends from pc that ever knew about this game someday, then I would tell them to get this game and we would play together and what not.

Anyways like I said thanks ColdGames for making this overall game and I can't wait for the multiplayer to come out sooner enough because I've been playing this game for at least about a month now and bought this game since Steptember 21st of this year.

So far my experience with it hasn't been too bad since the start of playing it. So let's just hope something will change the game forever when we get ideas for the game in the next upcoming updates and will see if it will change other people's minds about it being boring and stuff. :)
