Honestly, I am so glad I picked this game up, I hadn't done any research, or watched any videos about it before hand, but holy cow, this is a "must play" title in my opinion! The game gave me a lot of Bioshock Infinite/ Far Cry vibes.

I haven't done all of the side content yet, but I did complete the story ( which took about 12 hours ). The setting for this game is insane, the world is beautiful and so detailed, the story was pretty decent until the ending, then the story really picked up and started to shine. The combat system is OK, for me this was one of the weakest points in the game, the guns are very cool looking, but didn't real super great to use, and while melee combat is clearly the highlight, to me it felt very clunky, I found the combat really made me rely on using the abilities which are super cool, but it kind of lead to every fight feeling the same. Stealth is an option I guess, but is very light and wasn't really super useful while playing through the the "medium" difficulty. The weakest part of the game is the UI/Menus at the crafting station/store, very basic, and very cumbersome in my opinion, but all of the problems with that are minor and I would imagine not hard to fix.

Overall I would not be surprised to see this game in the running for some awards later in the year, and I will simply summarize how I feel about it in 1 word: Breathtaking

When I was younger I used to love Maplestory, which is still a great game, but it took way to long to modernize IMO, and this game gives me a LOT MS vibes gameplay wise, but its caught up to the current era. I love being able to check in on my phone, then when I have time I can hop onto my PC and do some quests and other more active content. Can I play the game for hours on end actively? No, but I enjoy that even while I am at work I am still making progress. I would highly recommend this game if my review so far sounds up your alley, just understand it is an "idle" game, so unless you have deep pockets it will take time to progress, and that is fine with me.

A little me: This is my first Sniper Elite Title that I have ever played, I have played over 100 hours played, I have completed campaign on Authentic with all associated medals completed, all survival medals completed, achieved level 50 (highest level) on multiplayer and completed most of the multiplayer medals, I have also completed over 100 invasion kills, all to say I have pretty much done everything there is to do in the game, which as I stated has taken just over 100 hours.

I really enjoy this game, the combat is fun and the kill cams are rewarding, even though you will probably turn them off after awhile. Multiplayer was a fun grind even though it was very annoying at first, but once I stopped trying to play it as a sit back and snipe type of game, I ended up becoming a monster on the battlefield. Invasion is a super cool game mode and helps add a lot of variety to the campaign mode. The progression systems in Campaign and Multiplayer are very simple, but do impact the game play in relatively minor ways, so even as a new player you are not at a super significant disadvantage, but weapon attachments have to be found in each mission, and those can have a major impact.

I would highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of Third Person Shooters, Sniper/Stealth game play, the Campaign was very fun, especially on Authentic, which is where the game shines brightest. Multiplayer is hit or miss based on your own level of expertise/proficiency with Third Person Shooters, and survival is pretty boring for the most part. I look forward to seeing how the game develops with future DLCs.

3 months after the initial release and the servers are still broken and you are unable to play a full match without multiple disconnections, it really is an absolute shame, I really enjoyed playing it at launch, but it's just to much, and I don't think I will even bother buying Arma 4 when it launches after seeing how poorly BI has handled this title, not saying I will never buy it, but I definitely will be waiting a month or so to see what kind of reviews it gets first. Not like it matters much anyways, the games servers are dead since no players can actually enjoy the game they spent $30 on, so this is a hard DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, at least not for the time being.

So I really enjoyed this game so far, had a good bit of relaxing fun and look forward to what is to come, there is not much content to enjoy yet, and I think as of writing this that the achievements for clearing 90% of the ship are broken, but it is still fun none the less. I maxed out my gear and character within 6 hours, so it is super short right now, but I will be checking back in on it to see what they add in the future!

I want to love APB, I really do, I come back to it every now and then out of nostalgia, and because it is a fun game at its core, but I just never understand how the game is so lifeless, and how there are still bugs in the game from years ago, even though it's switched developer teams 3 times, the game has next to no player base ( at least in the US ) so there is maybe 1 or 2 populated game servers ( 80 players max per server ). The weapon balancing is awful and statistics are numberless bar graphs that provide no information that is usable, and the game is primarily run by 2-3 really good weapons that are locked behind a pay wall, not to say the other weapons are useless, the earnable in-game weapons are fine, even the starting assault rifle is pretty good, but those "A" tier weapons are either real late game, or purchasable from the in-game store, or through their lootbox system. This games customization system though, that is what brings me back, the character and vehicle customization system is unmatched, and is absolutely amazing, it hasn't really changed during the games lifetime, but still no other game gives you this level of detail with which you get to express yourself. Like I said at the start, I really want to love APB, but it misses the mark just enough to where I can't recommend it to new players ( the game is anything but new player friendly ).

For a new player the game is very annoying, the combat is slow, and I never felt like I learned anything new, if you like games like Chivalry then this may be for you, but it is definitely not for me.

I really enjoyed Subnautica, The gameplay never really got boring, the progression is very satisfying throughout the entire game, moving from a set of flips to a large submarine with a smaller submarine ( or a freaking Exo/Mech suit ) inside of it. I definitly felt the grind for food and water throughout the game, which is something that would expect from a survival game, and I enjoy it, there was always so new thing to do, and the story and ending where pretty dang good, except that my game broke towards the end and stopped rendering water, not updating my hud when objectives were completed, I ended up having to watch the ending on Youtube because even after trying to use console commands to fight the issues I was having, it just became to tedious, hopefully that was just an isolated incident to me, because I thoughly enjoyed Subnautica, heck I spent an entire day playing from pretty much start to finish.

Great concept, beautiful graphics, fantastic gameplay... If you can deal with the absolute garbage matchmaking that pits you against players with way more time in the game and just role over you, I like this game so much, but its impossible to get better when you just get stomped every match you play.

Decent Mechanics, Fun Gunplay, Awesome Customization. Over all I would give this game a 8/10. It is one of the best F2P titles i've played in awhile, the only bad part is the devs charge ALOT for some of the cosmetic upgrades ( Like $35 for a censored ♥♥♥♥ ), and the gameplay is only fun for 10-20 games. A lot of the gun combos are also "overpowered" and annoying to play against ( Im look at you Launchers ).
