Phasmophobia :

Pros :
+ Eerie ambience, random objects moving scaring the **** of me
+ Fun with friends
+ Unique ghost hunting experience
+ Decent amounts of maps to play
+ Identifying the correct ghost feels rewarding
+ Smudge sticks
+ Braver when there's teammates
+ Looking at teammates screaming through the window from outside

Cons :
- Steep learning curve (Ghost abilities/speed/patterns)
- Shop UI is bad
- Money issues for casual play
- Ghost animation, they just blink
- My sanity is draining..

Phasmophobia is a game of deduction where 4 ghost hunters are tasked to identify the ghost that is haunting the location. It's a unique ghost-hunting experience even though it looks scuffed and buggy.

To be honest I didn't expect this game would be fun until someone convinced me to buy it.. which turned out to be amazing.

☆☆☆☆ 8/10

New World :

Pros :
+ Satisfying combat animation
+ Beautiful Open-PvP World
+ Crafting and gathering resources
+ Diverse weapon combinations for a variety of different and interesting builds
+ Faction driven settlements and communities

Cons :
- Multiple servers, resulting in more/less populated servers
- Server Latency and crashes
- Everyone turns off PvP
- No transmog over armours
- No swimming animation
- Repetitive quest/ No in-depth storyline
- Very little monster variations
- Inflated market pricing**
- Taxes
- Large amount of bugs (Invulnerable, rapid fire staff, damage stacking hatchet..etc)

I definitely enjoy playing this game, but this game is far from being perfect. It certainly has characteristic of other MMOs like runescape or WoW, but it lacks content for both sides PvE and PvP. **Due to the market price inflation, It doesn't feel rewarding when i gathered legendary materials because they're not going to sell out. Mainly because everyone can gather their own with little no to challenge at all.

Overall, sadly I think this game itself is just average, but I'll still be playing it and hoping they fix all these issues soon.


P.S. At this point, the game is unplayable PvP wise, everyone is abusing bugs in wars to win settlements. And there are more and more bugs appearing after every new patch/hotfix.

FULL PC SPECS IS ON MY PROFILE

Pros :
+ Stable 60 fps at High setting

+ Night City is gorgeous and the atmosphere is amazing but the NPCs around you feels unrealistic at times
+ Customizable skilltree & cyberware mods
+ Combat is decent, guns are satisfying
+ Hidden collectibles
+ Keanu Reeves

Cons :
- Lots of clipping
- Lack of car customization
- Terrible vehicle handling
- Bugged quest where i cant save while in combat after killing 30 enemies, and have to restart all over
- NPCs in town only have two animations and feels lifeless
- Random vehicle spawn in front, while i was driving

This game has lots of potential, but I would recommend you wait a few months before buying so they sort out some of the bugs.
