Promising for an early access! The bosses you encounter make the simple but fun combat system shine and base building is quite detailed. Having to hunt for improvements by locating and feeding on certain enemies is a good idea and the world seems quite detailed. It's still small and requires growth, but the fundamentals are solid. It's worth the price as it is and it will only get better if it gets more content. The game can feel empty if you play with no interaction with other players whatsoever right now and there's a bit of a grind, but nothing too extreme.

Pro's:
- It's free!
- There's no necessity to pay. Weapon unlocks are wide, not tall. You get a different playstyle, not a better one.
- The gunplay is engaging. Factions play different and attributes such as Rate of Fire vs. Damage per Bullet, Hip Fire and ADS accuracy and Muzzle Velocity make weapons feel unique and rewarding once mastered.
- The continents (Maps) are large and varied. A lot of different places to fight over!
- Vehicles, infantry and aircraft balance each other out. A full tank platoon will not easily take all bases, but do shine in open fields.


Con's:
- The graphics are wonky.
- It requires a LOT from your PC.
- Large zerg clans can make tactical play feel unrewarding from time to time. It's not fun to be hammered down by fifty people after having succeeded with a proper strategy.
- Balance issues, some weapons from factions do feel better than others.
- There's a very steep learning curve!


All in all it's a solid game that defines what large battlefields should be about. It can be relentlessly fun and it is most of the time, but there are some definite problems with gigantic clans. The factions feel unique, although the lore leaves a lot be desired. Pick it up if you love large scaled battles and don't mind a learning curve.

For Honor is an amusing game. The combat is different from your usual hack and slash as in that the button bashing is countered by blocking and battling depth. The downside is the balance, the spear guy is currently ridiculously overpowered by sheer range and bleeding effects.

I wonder whether this game is worth €60, but that may be because it's a BETA. The available options look polished, although the loot system can use some improvement.

7/10.

This videogame is a perfect example of a "Hidden Pearl". Detailed, original and unique in it's own genre, Endless Space is a 4X that's the only one in it's genre that doesn't always end up in an all-out war with people attempting to murder every single faction. Due to a detailed economical and diplomatic system, the game is not just about building fleets and killing each other, the game is a strategic masterpiece that forces you to pick your battles, allies, exploration and settlements carefully, for every step you make affects how your faction will perform.

Add onto that the ability to create your own race and ships and you have a fantastic game.

85/100

Fun game, differs from your usual survival game. Wheras half of them out there are based on zombies, Rust has a larger orientation on Player vs. Player. There's the option to just completely sit it out, hide in your huge bunker or create skyscrapers, but besides that you can also go on raids through radioactive towns or villages from other players.
