I'll go as far as to say this game is even more unoptimized than Stalker 2. Even with DLSS and frame generation I get 40 frames most of the time, sometimes it even goes into the teens. This performance on a 4060 is inexcusable.

I don't think this game is a worthy sequel to Postal 2. It feels like a lot of the charm Postal 2 had is gone here. Sure, the NPC's have mostly the same voice lines the old NPC's do and the guns feel okay to shoot but it's just not nearly as fun nore funny as Postal 2 is. A lot of the tasks are extremely tedious too and getting to tasks can be a pain because of how unnecessarily huge the map is.

This game had potential. The concept and story ideas this game has are very interesting and the atmosphere is very nice in the tunnels. This game has some good going for it but I feel like the bad outweighs the bad, at least in my opinion. This games writing is... awkward, to say the least. Whenever I read I usually read with my husband because we find it more fun and relaxing that way. But this games writing made it impossible for us to read without at least one of us cringing. The game and the story isn't inherently scary, either. Which is obviously a very big detriment for a game meant to be a horror game. While this game does have atmosphere in the tunnels like I mentioned previously, it gets completely ruined by the inconsistent art style. Almost all "art" in this game is AI, and that alone leads to a thumbs down.

I haven't finished this game yet, but this is a game I waited 10 years for. The original Stalker trilogy were the very first games I ever played on a PC and they're the reason why I play games exclusively on PC to this day.

This game is everything I wanted from a Stalker sequel. Even in the games buggiest state on release I could tell this game would be the best Stalker game after a bunch of fixes, crashes and optimization patches were rolled out. Now that we got those patches with even more on the way and A-Life 2.0 works, so far from what I've played, the 10 year wait was more than worth it. I don't remember the last time I saw this much heart and soul in a game. Everything about this game is lovely. The visuals are incredible even on medium settings, the difficulty is hardcore but fair, the gunplay is and feels amazing. This game has atmosphere and immersion you won't find anywhere else as well. The animations in both gameplay and in cutscenes are phenomenal as well as the sound design. And to top it off, since A-Life 2.0 has been fixed in the recent patch, everything in this game feels alive. Just like in the original trilogy.

This game is a love letter to people like me who loved the original trilogy. You can feel how much passion went into this game right from the start. This game not only has spirit, but also a heart. After years of waiting and especially after everything GSC World went through to finish this passion project, I feel honored to have been here from the start and I'm very excited to see more updates get released as time goes by.

Keep up the great work, GSC!

Black Ops 6 is proof that Treyarch is the only COD development team that cares about their games

Edit: They fired nearly every voice actor and replaced them with AI and they're now going to be using mostly AI artwork for bundles, maps, cosmetics, ETC for the sake of saving money. I will never support this franchise ever again.

Treyarch, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Very fun game that's overlooked by people who thought this would be just like L4D

Just don't play with randoms unless you want teammates more brain dead than Payday 2 teammates

Saya no Uta/The Song of Saya is my favorite visual novel of all time. I've read the uncensored version quite a few times and read this version to my fiancé and we both enjoyed every second of it. This VN is a masterpiece all the way from its story, its concise writing, its atmosphere, its incredible soundtrack, the disturbing subject matter as well as the topics this story tackles. This VN is a story about love, the most purest kind of love two beings can share with each other. Yet the actions they take for their love has been twisted and distorted in such a way that it can physically disgust you and feel repulsive. But even then, you still feel conflicted and can't tell who the true antagonist of this story is. Is it the man willing to save humanity from a man who tossed his own away, or perhaps a man lost in insanity who desperately clings onto the only hope and love he can find in the sick, mutilated world he used to call his home.

There is nothing quite like Saya no Uta/The Song of Saya.

Probably my favorite DLC out of the six of them. It feels like a big contribute to Borderlands 2 in some ways. Its narrative is a bit lackluster, but it's at least better than the base games story. The gameplay for this DLC is great, it's so much fun to navigate the casino and fight the new bosses (which are some of the best bosses in the game, in my opinion). This DLC is also home to some of the better legendary Class Mods, notably Zane's "Seein' Dead" and Fl4k's "St4ckbot" Class Mods.

I highly recommend this DLC, but I wouldn't get it full price.

For the longest time, I've always had an interest in Russian game developers. For some reason, they always seem to make some of the most unique but also some of the weirdest games I've ever seen. However, there's a Russian game in particular that has not only captivated me in a way I've never felt before, but has had a big impact on how I see video games today; Pathologic 2.

Pathologic 2 is an open world survival psychological horror RPG and is both a sequel and a remake to the game Pathologic. You take the role of a surgeon named Artemy Burakh, somebody coming back to his childhood town after he left for his studies years ago. He returns to his town due to a disturbed message from his father, Isidor Burakh. But when he returns to his town, it's later revealed to him that Isidor was murdered on the same day he arrived. After Isidor's funeral and two long days of mourning, a deadly outbreak caused by an extremely deadly plague, the Sand Pest, occurs. Artemy must survive this outbreak the best he can as he desperately tries to find a cure to the Sand Pest, as well as save as many people as he possibly can. He only has 12 days.

The reason why I bring up Pathologic 2's premise is because the premise ties directly into Pathologic 2's gameplay and its difficulty. Pathologic 2 is not a game you play. This is a game you go to war with. Fighting will usually get you killed. Weapons are extremely scarce and expensive. Food is ridiculously expensive because of everybody stockpiling it. Water eventually becomes much more rare due to faucets and water barrels becoming infected and broken due to the plague. Managing your bodily functions seem bearable at first. But as the days go by, it will become harder and harder as the town slowly gets driven into madness. And to top all of this off, you get punished for dying. When you first die, you lose some of your maximum health. As you die more, you lose some of your maximum hunger. And then, some of your maximum exhaustion.

Pathologic 2 is not an enjoyable experience. It isn't suppose to be. All of what I mentioned previously adds to the experience in a very meaningful way. Artemy is only a person and his power is painfully human-like. There's only so much Artemy can do, so he's forced to watch his home town and everybody in it succumb to the Sand Pest more and more as the days go by. Because no matter what he does and no matter how many anti-biotics he gives to his patients, everyone who gets infected can and will die. The stress of all of the weight put against the player gets worse as the days go by and it feels horrible to see the terrible state of the town, but a "good" kind of horrible.

You may be asking yourself: "Isn't the point of a game to have fun?" However, contrary to that popular belief, I disagree. Games are and have been much more than moving pixels on a screen you control. They can use experiences, positive or negative, to really say something. As much as I understand why most people don't like this style of game design and I can see why more developers wouldn't even think about making this approach, I wish more developers were brave enough to do so.

"Good" and "fun" are two different words with different meanings. But I don't think any of these words fit how I feel about Pathologic 2. Pathologic 2 is not just my favorite game of all time, but also one of the most meaningful experiences I have ever had.
