With over 100 hours combined between the Demo & the EA release I recommend this. Very in-depth crafting system. Interesting story. Great graphics. Awesome building system.

Open world Dark Souls that has some hand holding at the beginning but once you get to the first boss the gloves come off.
If you do anything in your life GET THIS GAME & PLAY IT!

I understand that this game may not be for everyone but if you like flight sims then you might enjoy this. It is a 1:1 scale of our known universe with some aliens thrown in for fun. There are over 400 billion planets to discover, space battles with space pirates & a faction system. There are frequent community driven events. If you enjoy flight sims then at least give this game a try.

I got this game back in 2017 which came with 1 month of game time. Had fun got to about level 16 on the character created. Couldn't play much back then cuz well life and had to drop sub cuz finances. I recently got back into it. Mainly because of the release of a new expansion; Shadowbringers.

Pros:
Can be every class on one character
Awesome soundtrack
Amazing world
Tons of Lore

Cons:
Requires a subscription (One of the few MMOs that do)
Forced to group up for Story quests

Game starts out as your standard survival type of game but it has an interesting Karma System implemented. Say your health is 100% and food is 70% and you shoot or harm any animals then you will take damage & your Karma Spirit Points will be reduced. If your Karma Spirit Points reach 0 then you won't be able to morph in to spirit animals or fly epic mounts. The Devs have worked hard on this gem & I expect it to be really great game. The game also features instanced dungeons, loads of creatures & boss fights.

I came into 7 Days to Die around Alpha 9 or 10. I've also watched a few vids of earlier builds of the game. During the early stages it looked like a MInecraft clone then after a few major updates it became a totally different beast. It has had a few rough spots & a rocky console launch but it has come a LOOOOONNGGG way since then & the Devs are adding more content soon.

One of the most epic games to ever come from Bethesda. Excellent storyline, hundreds of hours worth of gameplay, wonderful modding community over at nexusmods.com/skyrim.

It does have a few bugs but for the most part it works great.

Edit: After the Release of Skyrim Special Edition. I felt it necessary to update this game's review.
I got to say I still Highly Recommend this game & I feel that it can & will survive the "Test of Time" if it hasn't already.

Pros:

Exceptional graphics
Awesome story
Superb gameplay
High replayability
Amazing soundtrack
Excellent modding community at nexusmods.com/skyrim

Cons:

Loss of days/weeks
Decay of Social activities
Decrease in good hygeine habits
Sleep Deprivation
