Whoever came up with that ammo idea?... Yeah I hope those Ubi layoffs made you a casualty. That was the single worse thing to happen to the series. Supremos and RPG mechanics are right behind it though. The bullet sponge enemies ruin any immersion that such a beautiful world could've created. It's just a shame no one in development said no to those awful ideas.
The reviews I'm seeing online don't really match my experience. I found this game boring af. Luckily it was on Game Pass because paying solely for this game would've been such a disappointment. I loved The Quarry,Until Dawn, even House of Ashes but this is a level beneath each of those. Pretty terrible VA, very very long segments of just watching cutscenes, and very little interaction. Not worth your time.
This game ****. It's full of bugs. Animals will walk right up to you one min, and be incredibly skittish in the next. The biggest offense it commits is in the DLC. It ships with only 2 maps. 100gb file size, but only 2 maps. You have to literally buy the other 7 or 8. (The ones with the fun animals). One upside is how beautiful the game is. At times, it can look incredible. If played as a walking sim, you'll probably get much more enjoyment out of it. The hunting is probably the worst part.
This game just isn't good.I can't even begin to pinpoint all the places it falls short but a few glaring issues are the bugs, the controls, and the lack of cohesion in a story. The atmosphere is cool though so maybe next time they'll get it right.
I don't think I've ever skipped through so much dialogue in my life. Everyone just has so much to say and none of it is important. To say the story is lackluster is an understatement. The most interesting parts are the random people you'll stumble across with their shenanigans. The humor will appeal to some more than others. After just ignoring what everyone says, there's some decent gameplay to be had. Decent, not great. There are no real stealth attacks, the shooting feels 20 years old (think New Vegas), and there's no cover system. There is a 3rd person mode which is cool and the team dynamics are where fun is found. Overall this game isn't worth $30 let alone the $80 they thought they were going to get. Wait for a good sale or check it on Game Pass.
While it's true this could've been the Mandalorian game we actually wanted, the game that's here is actually pretty good. I mean much better than I expected it to be. Kay Vess is a pretty cool character as well, with choices you make in game really fleshing her out as a formidable character. The star of this game has to be the world though. So atmospherically rich you'd be forgiven for thinking you are playing a Mandalorian game. Speeder bikes and blasters all sound as you'd think they should, shady merchants make back door deals like some of the best Andor scenes, and brawls have that over the top feel from the OG trilogy.
Ignore some false criticisms that have been spread about this game and give it a go yourself. It may surprise you.
Graphics are nice. Just not a very fun game. It's Possible I'm totally missing some hidden brilliance within this game but so far it just isn't clicking and definitely isn't fun. The idea of finding the 46th room in 50 steps just doesn't feel like an engaging premise.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a catastrophic misstep for the franchise, delivering one of the worst campaign experiences in its history. The game’s forced co-op design, lack of solo play support, and constant online requirements make it a frustrating and isolating experience, while the narrative and mission structure are a disjointed mess of hallucinatory sequences and recycled gameplay. The campaign is devoid of meaningful character development, emotional moments, or even basic player comforts like checkpoints or pause functionality, culminating in a final boss fight that demands repeated full-level restarts after crashes.

Broken mess.People keep making excuses based on the potential of this game like they're in some abusive relationship. Bottom line is, this game doesn't give you what you need to succeed. Also Game Pass conveniently dropped it the moment it started to deliver on some of that potentia. PS A LIFE isn't here either
While KCD2 is nowhere near as good as the first. Warhorse somehow managed to regress. This means more jank and more difficulty unfortunately. The problem is, the game is so slow to start, you probably won't be interested enough to get immersed like the first one. Also there are still tons of bugs. I'm kind of disappointed with this so far. Not to mention it's incredibly censored compared to the first
Kingdom Come Deliverance was an absolute masterpiece. The sequel can't quite meet those expectations. More jank, more confusion, and more difficulty. This one just didn't hit for me like the first
Great story ruined by some of the worst game play you'll ever suffer through. Enemies are the definition of sponges. You can try to run, but Alan runs like he smokes 5 packs a day so you won't get far. Add that to the fact each weapon holds way less ammo than is practical and it's just not an enjoyable experience in the end. Put it on easy to get through the story and on to the sequel. This was a disappointment
Immersive but way too difficult. You won't be able to achieve both or even one goal by time you reach the 21 day time ****'sa shame because if this game were better balanced it would be great
Definitely my favorite Assassin's Creed. If you like Peaky Blinders or Gangs of New York, this will be for you. The world also feels like the most lived in and immersive. From trains in motion being an actual thing to interact with, to boats, to horse drawn carriages, this game is full of motion. Ton's of people disliked the rope launcher but I found it awesome. You'll feel like Victorian Batman! Series X upgrade is also awesome with a smooth 60fps being an option. Add in amazing combat, bare knuckle fights, and gadgets only second to Unity and you've got not only an underrated AC game, but a cult classic in its own right. Ignore the critics and check this out if you still haven't.
Damn good. This game not only does justice to the world of Robocop, it's actually better than most of the films. At first it seems like it's just all run and gun, but then it opens up and shows you there's way more going on here. The graphics, soundtrack, and voice acting are pretty good too. If you're even remotely a fan of Robocop, action, or good video games, check this game out!
Ah this game... Let me start with the cons; combat is awful and always takes place in a stunted arena like area. The second biggest shortcoming is the platforming. Think Uncharted 1 with none of the charm. It's stiff, overused, and genuinely not fun. Now that that's out of the way, this game really is a work of art. It's Alice in Wonderland in a gothic deep southern bayou and it's gorgeous. The stories it tells throughout its 14 chapters may bring you everything from laughter to actual tears. There's a lot of heavier subject matter here that's handled pretty well. The art style and level of environmental detail help to keep you wondering just what's next as it unravels as well. Finally this soundtrack is amazing. Authentic delta blues inspired songs compliment each tale and are incredibly well made. If you're looking for a unique experience and can keep an open mind, this game is a story worth listening to.
Pretty lackluster, this game really illustrates how far the series has devolved. It feels like the RPG games without those RPG elements, which sounds good on pape, but in actuality it really highlights the level of detail and care that were lost after Syndicate and Unity. Certainly not worth more than maybe $10. Also the AI is braind dead and story is forgettable. Switch to Arabic to avoid the awful voice acting too, sounds like a Disney film.
Clicked through 10 mins of user agreements only to be locked out at an Activision Account sign in screen. Might be a fun game if I could actually play it. We've gotta figure out a new way to handle all this legal/ account garbage. Literally a barrier to fun
CDPR must have a ton of good will in the industry because this game isn't that good. Beyond any technical shortcomings, the gameplay itself becomes pretty stale very quickly. Add in the fact that you suddenly need to be online just to launch this for various"photo mode" updates, and it's just not worth your time. Who even bothers with photo mode?
Cyberpunk 2077 barely works on this generation and isn't anywhere close to the experience you see online. textures load in late if at **** many bugs and graphical glitches. Definitely not what was advertised all those years ago. Avoid on this console if you can......,.................
So far so lame. Just not my kind of game. Not into the stilted Japanese style of RPG combat or the way dialogue is delivered in these type of games. It's also pretentious as hell. Still in the early hours so I'll update if it improves.
Brilliant, beautiful, and simple! There is nothing like this game and it should be experienced by everyone from casual gamers to the ****'sa shot and touching tale that aged like a fine wine.
Straight trash.They changed the visuals (they're not an upgrade) and forgot everything this franchise was about. Just play the first or Mafia 2 because this game ****
Am I missing something? This game is seriously broken on a foundational level. It tries to promote stealth gameplay, but lacks the fundamentals of a stealth game. (I can't peek at an enemy without revealing myself?) So many B level mistakes in a launch,it's not even a joy to experience. Why not polish the game, add in the features it needs, then release it?
Anyway graphics are mid, voice overs are mid, combat is ass, controls are sub par. There's nothing here for me to be honest, that I can't find in another game, at a superior level. Try Metro

Something with this game just really clicked for me. Put it on hard, turned off most of the HUD, and have been having one of the best experiences I've had since Kingdom Come Deliverance. A detailed revision of New Hope with better visuals and more animal encounters. Enemies are tough as nails and require thought and planning to deal with even a few at the start of the game. A real challenge. I highly recommend this game.
Such a brilliant game buried under poor design choices. Just a shame because the world building is truly one of a kind. The gun combat is also amazing. There were just too many moments that were designed so awfully that they took me out of the experience.
Good not great. They did an amazing job capturing the feel of an Indy film. Also the voice acting is spot on. Puzzle's are clever and feel like something right out of the trilogy.
Still a good level of jank for a AAA game.Enemies that aren't even smart enough to climb ladders is a prime example. The combat also leaves a lot to be desired, feels like something from the original Xbox in that regard. All in all you could do much worse and it's still miles better than the last two Indiana Jones films.
Why couldn't they just finish the game before selling it? So much potential lost. Unless you like the idea of paying to beta test for the devs, hold off on this until it's done baking. Charging money for unfinished games should be a crime
First few chapters are fun. Mysteries quickly become too abstract. The game's graphics and play style are overrated as a whole too. Probably best played on your phone
The propaganda campaign to cover up this failure is almost as bad as the game itself. Mobile level graphics and college sitcom writing mean this is just a terrible project masquerading as Dragon Age. If you're a fan, just stick with Origins
Same mid, generic slop of a campaign. The graphics look last gen, the AI is Ubisoft level bad, and it's just not interesting. The best part? You need an internet connection to play singleplayer. Saw a lot of praise for the campaign this year, it makes me wonder just how bland the previous ones were. There are so many quality games out there from smaller team, this is just not up to par for this gen. Maybe it would've beengood a decade ago.
What a pleasant surprise. If you like games Like Fire Watch or Death Stranding, you'll like this. I actually enjoyed it more. A chill under sea adventure, with just enough mystery to keep you invested.
UPDATE: For several chapters now, textures just fail to load. Just a blurry mess that really breaks immersion. Also the forced walking sections really hamper the experience. Such odd shortcomings for what could actually be a great game.
Killed by design. This game had so much promise, still looks great graphically, but is absolute garbage to play. I've never had less fun actually playing a game in my life. The combat is terrible, combat set pieces all go on way too long. The writing is atrocious, I still have no idea what the main character's name was. Other characters are equally forgettable. The irony is a popular complaint with this game being that it's too short. It felt sooooo long. Just wanted the suffering to end. Eventually I just turned it off and found something better to play. The Dead Space Remake is just superior in every way.

What a treat. Playing this for the Halloween season and it's amazing. Finally a game that bridges that gap to being a playable horror flick. The graphics and voice acting are well done with most being the perfect in horror. Some were so annoying you try to get them killed. If you'rea fan of campy (literally) horror films, do yourself a favor and play this game. It also has some pretty good replayability for different endings.

Such an awful game. The original was a classic and this remake does nothing but tarnish that reputation. Sure the graphics are decent but all of what made the game special is gone. Avoid this at all costs if you're a fan of the first Mafia. If you thought 3 was good you may like this because it's full of just as many bugs.They some how made the original a pretty and shallow experience with terrible voice acting and a now generic mission structure. I'm baffled by how they've managed to **** the soul out of such a classic.
Maybe best combat I've experienced in a game, fluid fighting that feels like it's straight out of a martial arts film. The problems come with the game design. Inspired by Soulslikes, you'll lose progress and get older with each defeat. No real checkpoint system means frustration with each loss. Enough to deter me from finishing it. Just wish they'd implement this style of combat into some more fun and accessible games
Definitely the worst of both worlds. The incredibly slow pace of the first splinter cell and the forced set pieces of Chaos Theory. Enemy AI is also sporadic terrible one minute with X-ray vision the next. Splinter Cell isn't meant for combat yet they still try to force combat situations almost constantly. Just a chore to play, especially considering the way games have evolved now
Is it funny? Yes. Is it worth $20? Absolutely not. At $10 an hour there just isn't enough here to justify the price. The game will make you laugh out loud and feel as if you're playing an obscure Adult Swim show from 2010 though.
Just awful, a creatively bankrupt, poorly voice acted, technical mess. That's just at its foundation. To actually try to engage with this disaster is an entirely separate can of worms. Feels like it was written for kids with it's messaging, yet they curse like sailors and reference porn. Cringey isn't even the word for this poorly written game and the gameplay itself is about two decades too late. An easy contender for worst of the year if anyone can remember it by then. Save your money.
As much as I love the premise,I'm not sure I can think of a more miserable game to play. it's just not there. Which is awful considering the potential lying withing this game
Entirely too linear. Plays well as an action game but is absolutionly the worst Hitman game. Barely any targets throughout this title, which honestly feels more like Bourne Identity by way of Rob Zombie than an actual Hitman title. Still fun to be had, but don't come here expecting anything resembling Hitman.
Still not ****'s awesome that it tries so many new things, but it doesn't do any of them particularly well. Stealth feels about a decade older than it should, AI is laughable, and the police wanted system is another unfunny joke. Level of detail and graphics are highlights, also mission structure consisting of more than just go here, shoot this are nice changes in pace
This game is amazing. It's so good that one, I can't believe it released in 2014 and two, you can really feel the level of care out into each and every level. One level has you on a train carrying a tray with coffee. The level of detail and physics that went into these cups of coffee is more than I've seen in 90% of games released in the past 5 years! Let alone the writing and tension in the small scene accompanying this train level. All of that momentum comes to a screeching halt in a **** some reason, the devs thought it would be a great idea to include a single battle that literally takes 15 mins of constant bombarding an enemy robot. It literally **** all fun out of the title and made me want to uninstall it. This battle made me reflect on other terrible combat design choices I had been ignoring up until now and ultimately left me thankful I didn't pay for the game. What would've been a 10/10 game ends up at around a 5 or 6 because of these choices. Play it cheap or free but DO NOT BUY THIS FULL PRICE.
Worse, much worse, than Dying Light. That came out about 9 years before this.There's no excuse for this level of subpar game creation. The characters are stiff and so "gamey". Combat is atrocious as well, you feel no impact as you bash an enemy over the head with a 2x4. Dying light had all of this almost a decade ago. It also doesn't look "next gen" just another basic ass zombie game.
