Dramatically improved from early access. Campaign mode with bots in single player is actually playable now - and that simply was not the case in early access.

Coop in campaign mode is a blast to play and the modding scene greatly expands the game world.

Sure there is still some jank in the game, but at this point it's actually part of the charm.

Desperately tried to like this game having enjoyed most Ubi titles and expecting this to be essentially AC Odyssey in an SW setting...and I think it sort of does try to be that.

It tries, but it really doesn't succeed. The maps feel barren but the cities claustrophobic, the stealth mechanics get very repetitive and become a chore quickly. Yes you can sort of fight your way out if you screw up, but with some areas having infinite spawns it rapidly puts you in a position where reloading is the sane option.

For me the biggest let down was the bland combat and inability to actually use anything besides your blaster. I stupidly assumed that I would actually be able to have other weapons based on seeing Kay use things other than the blaster - but nope. You can pick other weapons up but they are all one time use - once they run out of ammo you're done. This really kills so much of the potential variety as you're just stuck using your one blaster which has a few upgrades sure but still limits you to that specific play style.

I don't really know who this game is for, the stealth mechanics are pretty poor and combat is specifically gimped to force you to rely on the janky stealth mechanic. This game takes a good working formula from previous Ubi titles and throws it in the dumpster to produce a totally mediocre game that does not do anything well. There really isn't a single thing that I can think of where this game stands out.

Vastly improved over KCD1, with tons of content - maybe even too much!

Only bad thing I can say is that late game balance is a bit wonky with swords being simply too good - but then they are so much fun to use that I can't really complain about the most fun weapon being the best weapon as well...

It's pretty much top down Terraria with all the good and bad that entails.

Opinions on this may vary, but like Terraria, I do not think it's a compelling game to solo - but a blast in coop.

GGG now explicitly made ultrawide screen resolution support via mods bannable.

This make it impossible for me to recommend this game. Last Epoch fully supports ultrawide monitors - no mods required.

GGG needs to get with the times and embrace the modern monitors.

I will not recommend of financially support a game that refuses to support my hardware.

An absolutely perfect sequel to Stalker 1.

Lets be real, if it wasn't a buggy mess at release, it would not be an authentic sequel.

It's a lot better than it was - but I personally found the game a chore to play - by design.

It seems BGS want's to make sure people get the subscription which dramatically eases the pain of storage space - but it's nowhere near enough.

You will constantly find yourself overweight, with a stash full of junk, with items you can't sell today because the vendor is out of currency. The inventory interface is very awkward and while there are mod that address it to an extent, it's still a constant chore.

I feel like a good quarter of my playtime was dealing with my character inventory and my stash and visiting the appropriate vendors to sell my stuff.

I could deal with that if the gameplay was actually fun - melee feels really floaty and guns are even worse with very poor feedback. Sometimes your shots just seem to go through mobs, doesn't matter if you're using VATS or sights. The gunplay just isn't satisfying and trying to make the gauss rifle or really any other rifle be a viable end game weapon that did not depend on VATS to score hits was basically non viable.

Finally as all things in the game scale as you level, it seems the inevitable progression for all things is to become bullet sponges especially in operations.

I will say that the community has been pretty great and I've not had a single bad encounter in the game.

A clone of Warframe and Destiny - taking some of the best and some of the absolute worst from both games.

Most of the whining is about drop rates which while low are in line with drop rates in the genre, Warframe is essentially the same and worse in some cases.

Like with Warframe and Destiny, best played with friends. You will absolutely have a bad time on some of the bosses on this game with randoms.

Fantastic coop game - but yeah I sure don't find much desire to solo it these days.

It's basically an asset flip - https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/survival-game-kit-v2

Nothing in this game works well and nothing feels finished.

There is no ultrawide support.

Vast majority of my gametime was spent AFK the mandatory 30 minutes between the tower defense waves.
