Open world meets deep and rich mythology. The art style is comfortable on the eyes, and the game play is innovative and intuitive. If you enjoy Viking mythos and open world games, don't skip this one. Plays best with friends!

I don't think I can really add more to the positive reviews for this game. If you enjoyed previous fallout games, you'll like this one. It's as simple as that.

I was kind of late to the party with this game. The incredible amount of things to do coupled with a fantastic story with tons of extra side story to reward exploration, along with great high quality extra content in the DLCs (Yes, even the build a house and decorate it one) make this a fantastic game for getting lost in a amazingly conceived and realized world.

Hands down incredible game. The soundtrack and cars lend an authentic feel to the 40s and 50s as you play through the game. You can follow the story on the rails, or go off the rails exploring any time between objectives (except the one to go home each night and sleep). Even with several years gone by, the graphics still hold up relatively well, and the experience is great. The story is exceptional, and those who are following Mafia 3 may recgonize a certain Lieutenant from that game in his much younger self in this game. Look for a matching scar in the launch trailer for the next game, and you\'ll figure it out.

Would reccomend every time.

A massive step up from previous PC ports of the game. This is exactly the same game as the "next gen" consoles Xbox One and PS4, except the facescan feature isn't available for PC. As far as downsides go, this one is very minor. The gameplay is exceptionally improved, although you'll certainly want a quality controller. I'd highly reccomend getting a USB connector hub for Xbox 360 controllers for PC and use your Xbox 360 controller (or purchase one), for the best playing experience.

The game is going to most heavily stress your Graphics card and unless you load it onto an SSD, expect some fairly long load times (60-90 seconds when loading into MyPlayer/MyCareer mode). While technically playable on a 560 or equivalent, you'll probably want a 670 or better (with nVidia, you'll want an x70 or better. The x60 and x60 Ti will have trouble with high resolution and max settings. With AMD, go for the equivalents).

All in all, this is a great game for basketball lovers, and finally 2K gives some love to PC gamers. If you have a solid gaming rig and you enjoy basketball, even a little bit, you'll get more than your money's worth from this title. I got about 20 hours per dollar out of last year's version, and this year's is tremendously better in essentially every possible way. You won't regret picking this one up.

Despite years of hype, it somehow manages to exceed all expectations. An exploration of philosophy, fate and choice in the guise of a shooter. Every bit as innovative and atmospheric as the the first Bioshock, and a much worthier successor than the previous sequel.
