One of the best cRPGs ever made. I would place it right there next to BG 3 and Arcanum.

Just when you think you're getting into a routine... the game pulls out an entirely different game inside the game that you never expected. Absolutely worth playing for every gamer!
Warning: The beginning of the game is pretty terrible, it's 90% cutscenes and little to no gameplay. It gets a lot better after the first ~1-2 hours.

Easily one of the best 3 or 5 games ever made. The story is fantastic, and Cyberpunk has the best combat I've ever experienced in any game.

It's so hard to follow on the footsteps of a cult classic like "Mount and Blade: Warband", and yet.. they did it!
Bannerlord is a treat. It has all what made Warband so fun to play (and so addictive!) + a ton more new mechanics, and overall more balanced feel to the whole thing (less mindless grinding, better trade system).

Hope the dev efforts will continue, and we get a stable version by the end of this year.

Unfortunately missed the mark as a successor to Planescape: Torments.
The universe is a bit too wacky for my taste, way too much lore/exposition in the early game lead me to stop playing very quickly.
The fact that they tried all these innovative gameplay mechanics might be to blame here... I was looking for a cRPG with great writing and a captivating story, not for them to totally re-invent how combat/encounters work.

Don't think it was worth playing through this... it was just OK, but no particular plot twist or interesting angle on this game.

This is barely a Hitman game. It's super linear, levels are divided into checkpoints, and it rewards shooting and/or hiding and sneaking around more than disguise and figuring out targets' weaknesses like the older games (and the Hitman 1 and 2 reboots) do.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one, and go directly to the sequels (Hitman and Hitman 2)

This is the best Hitman game there ever was, and that says a lot from a big fan of this franchise (apart from Absolution, which was a real disgrace).

The levels are huge, and you often have 6-8 ways to kill each of the targets (most of which are super creative / rewarding to complete). This is definitely going back to the roots of the game, so most of those ways involve minimal sneaking in / hiding around, and more thinking and chaining things together.

Looking forward to Hitman 3 :) back to see the series get back to glory like this!

What an amazing game this is.
So many different strategies possible with each of the characters, and each new run is surprising in its own way (due to the random combination of cards and relics you get).
Congrats to the devs for building a card game that is *this* entertaining, with pretty much 0 grinding.

A real time sink, of the good kind!
