One of the best. Hands down. I keep coming back to this over and over again.

Still a great game, not quite sure if I agree with the nerfs and skullduggery from management and Sony.

Well it was fun while it lasted. Incredible game completely destroyed by one of the craziest, most scummy bait-and-switches I've ever seen, period. I really liked this game, but forcing PSN accounts, especially when a gigantic portion of the player base cannot even make a PSN account is incredibly disgusting.

Can finally play! Now the AMD fixes and we'll have a top tier game. Easy.

Love this game!

Tons of fun. Slay the spire with more action

Amazing game! Really interesting with a really appealing story. If you like a good "Who done it" then you'll love this.

Really great game. Solid story and interesting mechanics. Very well done. Looking forward to playing the next one

Beautiful unique puzzle game. Wonderful story that unfolds as you play. Definitely recommend. Art.

So far so good! This kind of simultaneous action is exactly what large mech strategy games need. If MechWarrior did this...

Elden Ring will easily go down as one of the greatest adventures game that has ever been made. Yes, this game is difficult, yes it feels unfair sometimes, but the world is just huge and feels so alive so it is easy to try something new if you've hit a wall. Something the previous games did not really have.

This game is an instant classic. True art.

That's it. There's no reason to read any reviews. You should be playing it already.

This controls are tight and feel great, story is incredible and engaging, fast action that is punishing and rewarding. I'm looking forward to the sequel

Awesome atmospheric game! Truly a work of art. The sound and visuals are incredibly well done and really pushes the tension. Rain, lightning, fire, smoke, clouds, night, day, fuel and scarcity of parts, limitations on powerful ammo, and lasting damage, all come together to create a tense harsh environment that must be tread carefully. Fights are fast, punishing, and has lasting consequences once they are done. The choices you make seems to really affect the game and you frequently find yourself trying to get out of a bind.

HighFleet plays like a mashup of Silent Hunter, Cortex Command, Hammerfight, Cryptark, and FTL, and does it fairly well. There are still some needed quality of life adjustments and features that are are an absolute must, but those should come.

Microprose has done a good job with this one and I'm glad they're still around!
