A great mechanical and thought provoking game. This game is the eptiome of what builder games should be. It knows what it wants and it serves it to you in a way that is digestable. However complex this game may seem, there is always going to be something that will lead you in the right direction. It does tike quite a lot of time, but it's not the type of game that requires a jobless grind in order to have fun. You can always go at your own pace in the freeroam, and other modes. Or take a relaxing crack at building a full system in the cheat mode. Overall a great game, not my favorite but definetly the best builder game I've ever played.

A great entry for anyone wanting to get into Resident Evil games. It's a fresh new story, following a new character in (obviously) dire consequences as he looks for his missing wife. I found the story to be really interesting and captivating. The combat in this game is alright, higher difficulties change the spawns of enemies, as well as buffing thier health and damage. The graphics in this game are amazing and the ability to customize to your pc's capabilites are something I wish more developers would implement. Overall this game is a 10/10 for me and definetly a must play.

This game was the saving grace in a season of video game drought, like the light at the end of the tunnel. This game has immense replayability ( I've replayed it 14 times ) and with each run it gets better and better. The combat reminds be of a hybrid between Sekiro and Bloodborne, every swing, chop, whip and spell feels effortless. The graphics and art in this game are on another level, I can't count the amount of times I've stopped and just stared at the scenery or whatever beautiful work is put on my screen. The bosses and enemies definitely stay true to the soulsborne franchise. Tree Sentinel took me around 15 hours to complete, and it didn't get any easier but the challenge Elden Ring poses is what makes it the beautiful game that it is.
I hate this game.
One of the best soulsbourne games out there, if you enjoy mental torture and pressing the same buttons until your fingers bleed this game is for you. By far one of the rockiest starts I've had in a softworks game. However the parrying system, combat, story, and bosses are all in perfect harmony. There is never a point where you feel like the story has been broken or that something is awry. TLDR Sekiro is badass and one of the best soulsborne titles you can play.

This game has a lot to unpack throughout the story and lots of conflicting points, but outside of that the abilities at your disposable and the ways you can alter the map make this game feel really solid.

This game was a blessing at launch, if felt like a fresh take on the battle royale scene, a mix of tarkov and fortnite. However after their major first season's success things turned for the worse. The developers stopped listening to player feedback and the game was plagued with cheater after cheater, and no hope of a better anti-cheat to quell it. Now the game is shutting down and losing player by player each day, with no incentive to play and nothing but cheaters left to run rampant on every server, this game goes out with a sad ending.

This is about what I would expect from Bethesda at the launch of a game, bad optimization and bugs that plague the game. Although this is nowhere near Fallout 76's launch, I still find the bugginess and ferocity the game has on my CPU very much annoying. Despite these issues I think the game has massive replay potential. There's an oceans worth of lootable items and people to talk to, if you liked talking in BG3 you'll love this game.

The amount of effort and dedication put in this game should be shown to game development teams everywhere. This is one the few games I've been able to sit down and fully immerse myself in and come out 17 hours later feeling like I only played for an hour. If you are into RPG style games or DND elements this is the perfect game for you.
