Feels like such a waste of time.
Wanted to play this because of the time period it is set in but after 20h I honestly struggle to find the motivation to keep playing this.
There's just too much stuff you'll need to do; it is all so extremely grindy.
Want to upgrade your equipment? You'll have to find a very limited specific resource to do so and if it is a weapon you'll need to have multiple.
Want to upgrade your settlement? You'll end up with a ton of supplies but basically no raw materials because of how limited they are and you can only really get raw materials from raiding monasteries which are limited per region.
And the story isn't really even that interesting which makes the grind even rougher to get through.
The combat is also rarely ever fun and feels janky and unsatisfying.
Doesn't help either that the game doesn't have Steam achievement support and also has a bug with Ubisoft Connect cloudsaves which causes it to crash after 15-20 minutes of gameplay which caused me to lose an entire raids worth of progress. (fixable by disabling cloud saving in ubisoft connect but still, its an issue that is 4 years old, how is this not fixed Ubisoft??)

Buy on sale only if you're really interested in the time period and/or if you want to continue the AC story after Odyssey.

What a disappointment. This game is exceptionally mediocre, and has nothing really special to offer other than its art direction. The 70€ price tag really doesn't reflect the experienced value of the game, and for being a completely new Bethesda IP it really only feels like strange combination of Skyrim and Fallout 4 but set in Space. You can truly see how the old Creation Engine that Bethesda keeps using really holds this game back since every transition is a loading screen.

If anything this game is worth 40€ at best. Stay away until there's a big sale.

Overwatch 2 has no real difference from Overwatch 1 other than it being a desperate attempt by Blizzard to rejuvanate their boring ass game.

The open beta was just a cash grab. Very strange developers who choose to release a game like this.

Good game with alot of missions and a very large map. The story is a little bit too long but it is still enjoyable.
If you buy it on sale (which you probably will) it's a good deal. Otherwise just wait for a sale.

What a mess. Yes, this game can be fun. Growing your economy and enacting different kinds of laws to reform your country is all good fun, and it's great that you actually can see the cities grow on the map. But gahd dayum, this game feels so unfinished..

First of all, the AI is more or less completely braindead. They definitely do not know how to manage their on economies. If a country is small and doesnt join any other markets they will make absolutely nothing since they can't properly manage their own markets. The AI also tends to leave fronts completely undefended whilst focusing all their forces on one which makes it so that you can completely steamroll them from one front with no resistance at all.

Secondly, the warfare is completely soulless and you really have no input or idea of what is going on. Your forces will attack a stack of 12 battalions with 4 battalions... why?? In reality I don't mind a warfare system where you don't have to micromanage all the time like its endgame EU4 but here you just feel absolutely blind to what is happening.

Thirdly, barely anything ever changes on the map. I have NEVER seen Prussia form Germany, and the US always colonizes parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan before Canada, which makes the map look really ugly. All this makes the game feel very dull and boring since the only changes you'll see is the growth of countries GDP and nations change into different types of governments.

And lastly, the game crashes alot and has several frustrating bugs. Many times you get into an event loop, which is extremely annoying. For example, an event popped up that gave me a claim on an adjacent Portuguese colony, which gave me a claim on the aformentioned colony and for some reason gave Portugal 6 infamy. This popped up several times, eventually leading to Portugal having 60 infamy... from doing absolutely nothing.

Now sure, there obviously are several things I actually like about the game. I like the simplified construction system and how in general the markets work since those changes have made it a whole lot easier to learn and understand how to manage/expand your economy compared to Vic 2. I also like the new art for the UI and events.

In conclusion, this game just feels really unfinished and lacks alot of content. There are barely any unique events and nothing really interesting happens geopolitcally. It'll also probably take years until this game is a fully working game worth your money, but then again most of those features that they'll add will probably be tied to paid DLC.

TL;DR: Victoria 3 is a somewhat fun but in general bad and soulless game with alot of frustrating bugs and a severe lack of content, stay away until the game is fixed or is on a huge sale.

Red Dead Online is in my opinion far more enjoyable than GTA Online, but it's really unfortunate that Rockstar really doesn't care at all about this game. It hasn't gotten a major update since last year, and the fact that you have to buy the online version even if you own the original game is absolutely insane.

Overall a good game with great visuals, interesting characters and a lovely soundtrack. It's quite short however, and I didn't really like the platforming since it made the gameworld look very "video gamey" and not so natural. I would've also preferred facing more human/empire enemies, since you mostly fight against the wild fauna of whatever planet you're on.

As an LMFAO enthusiast and party rock connoisseur I can safely say this is the only Beat Saber DLC worth buying.

One of the most frustrating games i've ever played. The tires will break when you run over a pebble, yet when you throw yourself of a cliff you will take barely any damage. Game looks beautiful though.
