Helldivers 1 was one of the best games I played, yes their way of handeling DLC was pretty bad, but I was excited for this game.

The first 3 weeks on this game were a litteral bliss. The whole world came together, tiktoks were only super earth related. The high of this game is something that is very hard to be experienced again. Unfortunatly Sony was not the best with their decisions and the game did die down after a while.

The game has never been the same anymore. "With Randoms" you will not find this high anymore. It is good to level alone and on higher difficulties this game becomes a grind for samples. The best way to play after a while is if you would be able to be able to schedule your gaming sessions with 4 friends.

When you can do the above, this game is awesome. When you can play this game on a LAN, this game is awesome. If you play with randoms, it is okay but after a while I personally feel the "magic" is gone. Best to go to their discord server and find people to play with.

Completed the game in 89 hours. I played as Corpo and the elements you find back in current enterprises with a little extra comes into the game. The game has crashed a total of 8 times on the timespan of these 89 hours. Auto save has saved me most of the time here so only immersion was impacted by the crashes. I run an RTX3090 and have played the full game with RTX on and 60 FPS. It is a visual beauty with some small minor visual artifacts you will have to look past.

All by all, the story, the gameplay and the way you can immerse yourself into a futuristic world is all there, however you need to be open minded or busy with digitalisation.

I do not recommend this game for beginner gamers nor people
I do not recommend this game for people as their "first shooter"
I do not recommend this game if you want the game to perfect

I do recommend this game if you can look past the issues and see this game as an artistic piece created by futuristic enthusiast
I Do recommend this game if you want to invest time, rethink your own view of the current world and want to understand the hidden message Cyberpunk 2077 is trying to tell you.
I DO recommend this game for people with experience on other games and have at least basic knowledge of shooters or games like dead island. This will come in handy when playing this game.

I shall now leave you, with this review, and probably with more questions than answers. If you want to find out the answers on those questions, you should buy this game.

A hearth-welcoming message toasted like a true leader comes out of my vocal chords:
"To this!"

The game itself is really beautiful and plays very well. The races are a lot of fun and the cars drive amazing. The issue in a game like this is that once you get through the initial races you must endure to get to some super cars, and when the "unbeatable" bots become very beatable you want to test your skill online.

In free roam online there is not a real problem but if you want to have an actual race online that is not the "battle royal" game mode, that is not Forzathon but that is an actual race dedicated online like it used to be in Horizon 2 then be prepared to sell your last sane mental capacity because the load times are insane.

I takes 5-10 minutes to get into a game, another 5-10 minutes to get into the next race as the current race is "in progress", another 5-10 minutes to get to start the next race and this repeats itself for all events you are trying to do. I have no idea if the "ranked mode" is any better because you need to get to level 3 in online racing before you can get to ranked, which you need for forzathon challanges, which you cannot complete in time because of the ridiculous load times.

Skip this game if you want any online experience like it used to be. I am writing this review while waiting. Maybe if I am lucky my game has started. Skip this game if you want to play online, do not fall for the bundle it is selling now, go for Horizon 5 instead.

Gear of war tactical should be the entry game for people to learn how a tactical top down strategy game works without too much of the repercusions holding you back from experiencing the real value of this game. Gears adds a personal mechanic to the game where executions, something the Gears genre is known for, gives you extra action points you can spend on your turn.

I played the game on the almost hardest difficulty with only minimal pre-knowledge of the X-COM Genre and a lot of knowledge about the Gears genre. I was able to finish the game in about 30 hours and due to the great story and untold story in any others Gears game I had to finish it in one weekend. (My GF, was my PC for that weekend)

All by all, there were a couple of bugs that certain combinations you would think work, didn't work, but overall I would really recommend to play this game to people that are:
- Big gears of war fans and want to see a story that was never told before
- People who want to experience a tactical top down shooter for the first time but think X-COM is too agresive or punishing
- People that just want to have a good time playing a single player video game and take a break from online toxicity.

I would give this game a solid 8.5/10 as there were a couple of bugs / sometimes the game didn't give enough hints on how to finish certain end bosses causing me to lose about 2 hours into something pretty obvious. some levels could also only be completed with maximum points / stars once you reloaded a checkpoint a couple of times because suddenly a E-HOLE opened in the most stupid location possible. I think the score would have been lower if I did not was such a Gears fan as the story for me was the most important. 8.5 might be biased, but a 7.5/10 would be a more generic score I would guess.

It is one of the games I love the most. IF you want a game that is team based but even when your team is bad you can still win? This is the one! If you rage because of your team, you go solo and try to kill survivors. Get's the stress right away :)

I can shoot balls like a frog eats flies in a pond. Accurate, fast, and with a perfect reaction time.
Unfortunatly I don't find balls in other games.

To all developers of this game, I want to congratulate you. I have been playing this game for a long time now and was urgently waiting for each episode to come out. Then something awfull hapenned in my life, I lost my grandmother and was not fully functional in my life. I didn't want to go outside, I didn't want to play any games, I was sitting at home or when I went outside I put on a mask. Then when steam opened automaticly when my PC started and I saw Kings Quest updated, I fired it up because I needed some distraction. I just want you guys to know, the emotion you put in this game and the story are so engageable I cried in some parts. Thanks for letting me deal with the dead of my grandmother and for that wonderfull ending. Best 30€ I have ever spent.
