I liked the first one. I tried my best to like this one but I just couldn't. Generic writing, loads of funny but stupid bugs...at first they're funny but quickly become annoying. The graphics are almost cartoony (best way I can explain it). Strange silences every now and then and sometimes when you fight the simplest of enemies you get some insane battle music playing...kinda weird. I'm happy to see a lot of people enjoyed the game but this one is a miss for me.

What an excellent game, I had so much fun with this and still think of this game today. a great challenge and the music is also so good. Some of the tracks even made it to my playlist. Well worth a playthrough.

I really enjoyed New World but living the lag for us South Africans is just too bad. At least for me it was. It's strange as I have no lag issues with other MMOs. But with this it's just a little too bad.

Had loads of fun with Ashen, Great exploration, great environments. Hasn't got a massive variety of enemies but enough to keep things interesting.

With Ashen you can get the best of both worlds, want a challenge? Go in solo mode and you will get your challenge. Want to just have fun and follow the story? Enable multiplay and join up with others to explore and progress the story.

The music was such a pleasure to listen to and the way the music shifts between environments and how the environment and music compliment each other is brilliantly done.

Definitely worth a playthrough!

Had great fun with this. Decent balance between exploration and running and hiding from monsters. The voice acting was great and the environments are so well done! Finished the game, taking a break for now but plan on having another go at it. There are also custom stories like with Amnesia: Dark Descent but never go round to try it out.

Had a lot of fun with this one. All people see is some guy delivering some cargo and yeah that does sound boring. But here, in Death Stranding, not even close. You gotta watch out for all the dangers this world has to offer. The story and Cutscenes were just awesome! Loved every moment of it. Now back to delivering some more cargo.

Having a blast so far. Exactly what I was hoping it to be. Of course I could do with some better performance. I've had a couple bugs but nothing a quick reload didn't fix. I can cruise around town helping responding to police reports all day long.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend the game in it's current state. I have very high hopes for this game but I just can't recommend it as it is. The game has been taken out of Early Access a little while ago and definitely shouldn't have been. There is still loads more for the developers to do. They do update the game regularly and have made great progress so far.

Here's to hoping for the best.

To be honest I had a little trouble getting myself into this game at first but as soon as I got a good grip on the controls I enjoyed it loads. Excellent artwork, I love the music used. Some of the audio could suddenly become super loud in some of the cutscenes, other than that I can't think of any negative points. I love how every conversation is depicted by means of images of the persons memories. Put some mystery in front of me and you've already got my attention, same goes for most of us I guess. There is more than enough mystery to go around in Hyper Light Drifter.

Definitely worth picking up in my opinion.

Okay so things started out kinda rough, The story just didn't grab my attention at all only later when things got a little bit clearer did I actually really get into the story.

I absolutely love the way you get gear in this game. It's very unique (well at least for me it is) and the upgrading of gear is simple enough for anybody to understand.

The combat is great, switching of targets is fine although sometimes the camera can get a little crazy when fighting 2-3 enemies but it doesn't happen often enough to really be a huge problem!

If you liked their previous title Lords of the Fallen or if you liked any of the 3 Dark Souls games I would definitely recommend getting this.
