Horizon: Zero Dawn is a prime example how an open world game should play like. I spend way more time exploring than pushing the main story quests, and I ended the game with full gear obtainable with platinum trophy. Female protagonist wasn't forced and she was likable, felt feminine. Graphics and visuals are awesome. I had to take away a single point, because there's little to no facial animations, and most of the characters (including Aloy) wasn't interesting enough.

Order 1886 was probably intended rather a tech demo than a game. Graphics are beautiful and ugly in the same time. Static objects and characters look marvelous, but man, the mirrors in this game don't reflect anything. At least they should've make the protagonist a vampire in the story, so they can sell this as a feature, but in this way it's disappointing. The artistic style, alternative London's timeline is charming. Gameplay is a generic action game, hence I'm giving a generic middle score and +1 for graphics.

This is not a game, but a cashgrab riding a currently hot political topic. If there's no gameplay, I believe this should be removed from "games" section both from Metacritic and Steam.

Story wise this patch is currently the best for me while I'm writing this review, however I'm not finished with Shadowbringers yet. I enjoyed the lore so much, I rather slept 4-5 hours a day just to make progression. Significant jump after ARR both in production quality and gameplay or instances. Downsides is the pack of many filler quests which sometimes break the pacing of the game, hence I deducted two points from the game (and also there's still no quality PvP content). Flying mounts are a great idea, but goes pretty much useless, as you can only fly in an area after you finished main story quests for that region.

League of Legends is a cleverly built up, addictive MOBA which probably the most popular game of the last decade. Many champions, very good cinematics, nice lore and sound / artistic design. Almost sure, you will find your favorite champion to play and align with. Downsides is the player community, the unfair ranked system (literally a coin flip, and you can only get higher if you are much better than your MMR, otherwise you will suffer), and also feeling slightly pay to win (I'm mostly winning if I buy riot points). Finished the game at platinum I after failing diamond promo for 5 times, mostly because of AFK / inting people. Balance team is terrible, most of them are not even playing the game, or if they do, they are low ranked. Every patch makes some champions broken, and some of them absolutely useless. I believe this game is doomed on a long run, maybe that's why Riot starting to invest into other genres.

Final Fantasy XIV is my favorite PvE MMO, however I think this expansion was the worst. Story was boring, and I felt it a chore to play through. Towards the ending the quality shifted upwards, but this doesn't same my rating to go higher. Instances however were good, and I also liked the maps, and new classes.

Absolutely loved it. I'm currently at my 4th playtrough. This game is a literal adrenaline pump, with epic bossfights and challanging gameplay. I like how From Software finally dropped gear system, so people, who don't like grinding can fully enjoy a soulsborne game. Graphics are okay, animations and sounds, artistic style and visual effects are awesome, and not too many bosses are frustrating to play against. I found myself rather hating the mini bosses than the main bosses. Only downside for me is the camera, which tends to unlock during fight. Even with this, Sekiro is one of my favourite games of all time.

One of the best games in my childhood. Perfect characters, atmosphere, adventure, friendly graphics, beautiful soundtrack. This is how you make a 10/10 game without blood and excessive violence. Biggest downside in PC version was the strange bugs with the sound, which went out of sync sometimes, or turned into white noise. Probably this is patched nowadays.

Aion 4.6 "Steel Cavalry" is probably one of the best patches along with 1.9 and 3.9. There's no MMO on the market which can provide the same level of enjoyment regarding PvP as this game, that's why so many people sticking around the game and still playing it , even though this version is only available on private servers now. No global cooldowns, you need to know A LOT of tricks to master the game, and there are a few 1v3 or more moments which makes PvP epic in this game. Downside is the class balance. The game has 1-2 broken role always, which is spiritmaster and gunner in this patch, both of them are nerfed later. Other negative I can bring up is the huge RNG factor in PvP, like godstones and random knockdowns. It can ruin the enjoyment factor. PvE is very boring and outdated compared to other MMOs on market. Final aspect don't like is the cryengine 1, which they cannot change. It limits CPU usage for only one core, making FPS levels poor for most of the players, especially on sieges.
