ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a victim of FromSoftware's stubbornness. First off, let's get it out of the way, this is a technical atrocity, even more so than Elden Ring before it. Not to even mention the fact that ultrawide resolutions aren't supported and the framerate is capped to 60, which just makes the game unpleasant to play.

Moreover, given the vast amount of content that From has created over the last 15 years in developing Dark Souls and Elden Ring, you'd expect that Nightreign would be the ideal place to showcase all this hard work. But no, you're given a grand total of SIX (6!) bosses from the entire Dark Souls trilogy here.

I recognize that it's not as easy as copy-pasting the boss from there to here, but I don't agree with the argument that game balance is the reason for this pitiful quantity. At its core, Nightreign is a roguelite, and that means some runs will be easier than others, with the primary challenge being the final boss. It doesn't help that the community had meta-gamed this within weeks wherein every run is easily winnable anyway - and instead of having the variety of the hundreds of enemies Miyazaki has designed, we get to fight SIX bosses from Dark Souls and a few dozen others from Elden Ring. Do not even get me started about the basic enemy variety either.

I can't recommend Nightreign to anyone, soulsborne fan or not. Especially after having seen the sad attempt at adding content post-launch and with the paid expansion.

I'm really glad I played THRESHOLD. This short experienece managed to immerse me into its world and storytelling like few other games have ever done. Not just due to the fact that you are able to pick from a select list of countries which will cause several locations and names to be changed to localized variants, but simply due to the atmosphere and monotony of being a guy who maintains a tiny section of a railroad. Despite this, the loop somehow remains both engaging and tense throughout its runtime with a steady introduction of new mechanics.

The game also has a lot to say with respect to its writing and it's up to you to glean from it what you will. All I'll say is that I was intrigued and motivated enough to get all the endings as well as all achievements which require several playthroughs.

The more Obra Dinn/Outer Wilds/Blue Prince-likes, the better!

While this game is extremely good. I don't recommend anyone buy it until the devs add Steam Cloud support that was promised 9 years ago. For a game of this scale that requires hundreds of hours to complete, it is inexcusable.

Never have I felt that a game has so desperately wanted to waste my time than when I was playing Ghost of Tsushima. It's not just the repetitive quest design, combat, world, and collectibles either. In ALL of this game's cutscenes and every piece of dialogue, Sucker Punch Productions demands that you be there, watching, waiting for the next piece of meaningless exposition so you can continue with the equally boring gameplay loop.

In my 10 or so hours with this game, I didn't encounter a single thing GoT does better than the giants of the third-person lite action RPG genre. Hell, I truly believe modern Assassin's Creed games are leagues ahead of this. It feels like SP set out to create a game meant to be played by someone who has never played an action game before.

If this hadn't been a PlayStation exclusive with a Japanese-centric theme, there is no way it would've received the praise it did. In my almost 15 years on Steam, Ghost of Tsushima has been my greatest regret and the single worst purchase I've made... even with a 33% discount.

Only clowns could cause Steam to crash for an hour.

The game in its current state is simply not functional.

60 FPS cap and no ultrawide is not acceptable. The most egregious thing is that it looks much worse than The Phantom Pain too.

It's become really hard to justify putting any trust in Unreal Engine.

Let's get it out of the way, Battlefield 1 outclasses Battlefield Victory. However, since launch, BFV has been an extremely competent game that really does immerse you in the WWII theater. Everything you'd expect from Battlefield is here... yet it's just ever so slightly worse than in BF1. The gunplay, environments, maps, destruction, sound design, full-throttle, non-stop chaos on the objectives - it's all here. And, by god, if this doesn't have one of the best soundtracks in all of gaming.

I purchased BFV on Origin at launch and had a blast playing it for dozens of hours. Having recently gotten back into it now, it continues to be a joy that, along with BF1, delivers the excitement of battling in the monumental Great Wars.

Alter Rebellion bug in Act 1 has made it impossible for me to progress. All my alters are happy and have plenty of food, social spaces, and dormitory, Yet the rebellion occurs every time. Game is broken.

UPDATE: As of October 2025, it is still broken and impossible to proceed.

It's just as good as I remember.

Been playing through Patapon 1 and have had no issues with respect to input timings. Although the button prompts MUST be freely changable between the keyboard inputs, XBOX glyphs, and most importantly, Playstation glyphs. Patapon is not the same game without the iconic △ O X ◻.
