I am absolutely LOVING this game. So, I am leaving a positive review, but if I could leave a 5/10 score I would. The game is astoundingly beautiful, the characters are endearing, and the game mechanics are QUITE in depth. However, there are some big issues that need to be addressed and they need to be made clear, so that those looking to take their time to play Starfield will get a truly groundbreaking experience. To be blunt, Starfield is quite poorly optimized at the moment. Heading into some of the big cities will result in a 15-20 FPS drop and it is quite noticeable. I was also experiencing the issue that some missions wouldnt even intialise, meaning they werent in my mission logs, and when I tried to start them from how they are supposed to be started, they wouldnt go.

Starfield has an unbelievable amount of potential, and it will be a truly incredible game once it has been more refined. I cant suggest this purchase at the moment, considering the amount of issues I have come across, and how much of a headache it has casued. I genuinely hope that a patch comes out soon to resolve some of the big issues that the community is facing.

SO FAR: The game is beautiful and really brings into light, how a beautiful game can be optimized greatly, to bring an awesome gaming experience. Having a high end gaming rig is not required to experience a game that provides intense, and incredible graphical quality. Now, on the gameplay side of things, one of the more disappointing aspects is that the storyline is VERY confusing, and the ending leaves the player sort of... empty. The difficulty for finding items is well balanced, and the procedure to get required (or desired) items makes sense. Obviously, since the game is currently in early access, there are a few bugs, but they are getting smoothed out as I speak. One feature, which is sorely sought after, that should return is the log sled. Not having it makes making a base on your own very tedious, as you are required to throw logs repeatedly over long distances. Where does the game stand at the moment? A 8/10. It's well developed for early access, and quite playable. The price tag is accurate for what you get, and overall it was a pretty darn good play. I would suggest getting this game if you enjoyed the first installment of the Forest, but do realize that the storylines arent parallel.

If you like pain, and you want to end up hurting yourself, then this game is absolutely for you!

I put a few hundred hours into the first installment of the Dying Light franchise. It truly was an epic game. The more time I spent playing it, the more I came to love and enjoy every aspect the gameplay had to offer. Now that Dying Light 2 has arrived, I was let down by the lack of detail that the first Dying Light carried. I do appreciate the absolute parkour overhaul in Dying Light 2. Dying Light had a parkour system that felt awfully rigid, while Dying Light 2 provided a smoother, more fluid system for parkour maneuverability. The other downside was the lack of difficulty to nighttime. In your first nighttime it might be kind of overwhelming, but not too long after, it just turns into a massive game of zombie tag, where you are trying not to be "it".

Overall, if you want to play Dying Light 2 and havent played Dying Light, I suggest starting here, and then moving there. I know that sounds stupid, but the stories between the two games only overlap for about 10 minutes, at the very beginning of Dying Light 2. The map, people, and experiences are all completely different and dont correlate, whatsoever. So, for that reason, I suggest starting here, because it will allow you to appreciate this game, but then appreciate Dying Light even more.

Comes with a decent amount of content. Skins look nice, and money goes towards a good cause. If you like cosmetics, I suggest getting.

TL;DR Good game, the current issues should be smoothed out soon. I suggest getting.

Overall, Modern Warfare II, was a very enjoyable experience. It is quite a freshing experience, especially when stepping back to look at it and compare it to the previous Call of Duty installments. Vanguard was a miserable mess, and Cold War was rather irritating to play since players felt so bullet spongy. This game provides realistic and efficient gunplay, and fighting mechanics compared to the previous games. This absolutely feels like a revamped MW 2019 without slide canceling. The dive feature is excellent in theory, but when used in practice, it is pretty much useless. Trying to dropshot is not going to happen, and the time to fire from dropping is agonizing. Sliding also has a significant gap of time from when you slide to when you fire, providing the enemy plenty of time to get their shots off. Now, I cant necessarily say that this game is great. I recognize that it is in Beta, but progression feels strange. The update to the gunsmith from MW 2019 has installed a feature utilizing receivers (For those of you that dont know, the receiver is simply the part that receives and fires the bullet). The presumed idea behind it, was that a player could unlock a receiver and then have all other parts from previous guns transfer over, with just the receiver required to be unlocked. This is not so. Once the receiver is unlocked the player still has to unlock all attachments. I find this to be counter-intuitive and ultimately disappointing. I have heard complaints about the UI, but in my honest opinion, I dont see any problems. The game modes feel nice, and the options of player are diverse. Now, if you have read this much, I appreciate you hearing me out. Having leveled through the game rather quickly, it was interesting getting to see everything that was going on in the early stages, but I didnt grasp the knowledge on every little bit and piece. If you're hear for my honest opinion on the game, I would say "buy it". There have been crash issues, and some small bugs, but I am certain these will be ironed out, and the future for this game looks rather bright.

Amazing game, and truly timeless. There is so much to do, and so much to explore, it truly is amazing. The gameplay is very expansive, and follows a rich and engaging story. The player gets to make choices that affect the storyline, and what happens, providing an immersion into the game, that can captivate the audience entirely. Hours can be spent just exploring the expansive map, providing the player with enjoyable and great storytelling.
If the main campaign wasnt enough, an entirely seperate campaign (YES, thats correct) is available, titled "The Following". The map provided is twice the size of the original map, and provides its own storyline that can run somewhat parallel to what happens in Harran. The player also is granted access to their own dune ATV, which can be modified and painted. An expansive map, a new story, and new leveling opportunities, what more could a player ask for?
If the player gets bored with the main campaign or The Following, they can choose to purchase the Bozak Horde DLC (or go with the Definitive Edition) and get even more gameplay content. The Bozak Horde provides the player with a unique experience to try to complete a race against the clock (literally). The player is dropped into an arena with a bomb strapped to their neck. The player is then forced to kill zombies, evade attack, and maneuver obstacles to reach a checkpoint to keep themself from getting blown up. If the player reaches certain stages, great rewards of the golden variety of weapons are granted to the player.
The player will also be open to experience the Harran Prison DLC. The player is dropped off on a dock, and is then directed to complete a series of tasks, within a given time (similiar to the Bozak Horde). Once the player has completed the trials they then are provided a loot room, which can only be accessed for a limited time, forcing the player to choose quickly. This DLC is somewhat annoying in that I normally can only get one boxes opened and looted before the timer runs out, while the other 3 boxes remain untouched.

If you opted to purchase the Definitive Edition, you made the right choice (in my opinion). The Definitive Edition provides the player with all playable DLC, plus all cosmetic DLC. The playable DLC are quite enjoyable, and the cosmetic DLC are very fun to tinker with. Most of the cosmetic DLC provide blueprints that the player can use to craft various guns, weapons, and tools that are very unique and entertaining.

To summarize the game as a whole, I would highly recommend playing. With a seemingly endless stream of content, the player can spend hours enveloping themselves in an immersive environment. The DLCs just add to this effect, and compound it exponentially. The Following is very enjoyable, and provides several very interesting endings to it's story. The Bozak horde can be great for farming weapons, and is actually rather fun to play. Overall this is a very solid game that provides the player a very unique experience that can be enjoyed in Coop, with a friend, or by themself.

Its a fun game, and provides lots of potential. It's sad to see that Techland gave up on a very interesting concept that could have worked. I imagine that if they continued to develop the game, it could be quite successful. Personally, I never ran into any real players while playing, so I never got to experience the PVP aspect, but the battle royale styled gameplay was very entertaining. I didnt put much time into it, simply because I had purchased the game with the intent to battle real players. The game has been discontinued, but keys can still be purchased from third party sellers. You could try searching sites like G 2 A.com to find a reseller who has keys. Check sellers' rating to be certain that you will get your product. High rating equates to a greater chance of receiving said product and getting it quickly. Overall its a very enjoyable game. I would have loved to see it completed.

Still better than Battlefield 2042

Very fun. Diving into the Star Wars lore is absolutely thrilling. The diversity of each map, and the opportunity to adventure is endless. I love the aesthetic, and truly remarkable connection that developers make between the player and the game. I honestly feel as though I am an actor in a Star Wars movie with how engaging, and interactive the gameplay is. The only downside I encountered at all was just that playing on keyboard is not nearly as enjoyable as Xbox controller. Mine stopped working while I was midway through gameplay, so I had to switch to keyboard. Didnt enjoy it at all. Game overall, though, is absolutely amazing. I would give it a solid 8.5/10.
