Strap in because this is the biggest money grab you've seen from 2k yet! I mainly play My Career so this review is from that prospective.

Pros: Character models look pretty good. Gameplay feels smooth. I actually like how defense feels this time out.

Cons: 2k has always been pretty greedy but this year just feels savage. First there are only about 5 hairstyles unlocked for your character at the start of the game. You have to pay for any other ones that you want. They also do not stay unlocked. If you switch to one hairstyle, then get a different one, you will have to pay to switch back to the first one.

Sure the story in My Career is cheesy but it wouldn't matter if it weren't for that fact that... You can't skip cutscenes. This is unexcusable. When you make a character, it takes over an hour before your character is even able to play his first game in the NBA. Also when upgrading a character, you can't see how each upgrade point corresponds to each attribute point. Will increasing my ball handling increase my speed with ball attribute 3 points or 1? There's no way to know unless you hand over that sweet, sweet VC.

Now that 2k has implemented the neighborhood you have to load into it to play My Player, even if you didn't plan on playing Park or ProAM!

2k is lucky that they have addicts like me buying the game because they have proved time and time again that they don't care about their fan base.

I will update this review as updates start coming out for the game.

UPDATE: I just had MyCareer player data deleted. Apparently this is a common occurence right now that 2K is trying to push a patch for on XB1 and PS.... BUT no news about when/if this patch will be coming to PC. Just another reason to WAIT to buy this game.

This game has AMAZING potential and when things go right it is really, REALLY fun. BUT, as it stands right now, the game is too buggy for me to recommend. Queueing as survivor takes way too long, killers with bad internet cause everyone to lag, often times you'll load into game missing survivors, and the list goes on and on.

I wish this game wasn't as buggy as it is because it is a great concept. But after 6+ months the devs haven't gotten their act together. Only buy this on sale. Fun to play with friends or if you like waiting in lobbies.

One of the best games I've bought off Steam. Very fun and easy to set up to play split screen with a co-op partner.

If your friend ever suggests you try this really cool game that's in early access, DONT! Even if that early access game has a cool trailer.

"But wait this game is on sale, should I.." - NO

"But it sounds like I would really.." - NO

"But all my friends are playing it.." - Get new friends

I bought this game for full price but really even paying $1 for this would be too much.

Firewatch was actually a fun game IF you like story heavy games. There isn't a lot of actual gameplay other than walking around and exploring. The artwork is fantastic and the story is pretty good but it is a pretty short game. I think $20 is a little too much for this game. Try to grab it when it is on sale because it is fun for the few hours it lasts.
