Deceptive advertising and review manipulation with the sole intention of selling a subpar product to a trusting customer base, nothing less than an outright scam IMHO. From the graphics and frame rate to the glitches and crashes, modern gaming in a nutshell, sell the game today (at full price nonetheless) and fix it later. CD Projekt Red has regretfully joined the likes of EA and Activision as a scummy, abhorrent and untrustworthy company. Hopefully it’s not too late for you, SAVE YOUR MONEY, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

Mostly recycled assets from last years game with only the bare minimum of improvements/updates, once again EA proves to be the one of the worst game companies out there.

Identity politics ruin yet another game, aimed squarely at the modern Twitter and social media woke crowd looking to score some brownie points while completely alienating and disrespecting the already existing fan base.

Identity politics and agendas have no place in a Star Wars game, production time would’ve been better spent actually crafting a compelling story and fixing the numerous bugs and glitches.

Everything wrong with modern gaming, recycled/reused assets (models, animations, cut scenes, etc) next to no improvements compared to older iterations + constant removal of options and features, complete lack of polish, and on top of that, predatory and shameless micro transactions.

Great graphics and sound, outstanding soundtrack, unrivaled voice acting, solid game-play and controls, that alone would make for a great game, but what makes TLOU more than the sum of its parts is the storytelling, character development and pacing. This is probably as close to perfect as a game can get.

An outstanding open world game, stunning graphics & sound, engaging story and tight controls, a must own for any PlayStation fan.

Arcade racing at it’s finest, open world racing environment, seasonal weather changes, excellent graphics and sound, and controls that have been tweaked to perfection. With two well priced expansions, hundreds of customizable cars to chose from and more added on a weekly basis, this game is a must own for racing enthusiasts.

I’ve never been a big fan of rpg’s for some reason, they just never really appealed to me... this game changed all that. With an engrossing story, great characters, outstanding graphics and sound, engaging gameplay and a company behind the game that truly cares about the player/customer providing both free and paid extra content, the latter being an outstanding value for the price, this game is a must play for any gamer.

The first game was a masterpiece, no doubt about it, from the graphics, the gameplay, the story and characters, however, the sequel is far inferior. Poor handling of already established characters, the story relies far too much on coincidence and unrealistic situations, some of which feel forced and manipulative. The gameplay introduces a couple of new mechanics but remains essentially the same. Some of the levels do drag a bit, and without a solid story to push you through, the game becomes boring in parts. The graphics and sound are outstanding. While some of the characters might be flawed and/or unlikeable, the voice acting is great as expected considering the talent involved. Sadly, it’s not enough to make the experience a good one. Finally, the game was advertised as something completely different through deceptive advertising, false statements from the game makers, altered game footage and obvious manipulation/censoring of early reviews.

Bordering on satire and parody, and sometimes crossing the line of bad taste in a deranged, over the top but still enjoyable way, GTA 5 introduces 3 new characters, a new city and a lengthy and satisfying single player story. Also, with an added on-line element, the replay value is excellent.
