I just finished playing the demo and I am really impressed with what I played, my only issue was with combat but that may have been a me issue rather than a game issue but that aside i had fun doing the little tutorials that gave you a glimpse to what the game would play like and I am looking forward to the full release of The Precinct

I bought this game having wanted it for a while but been a little unsure about the game play having had issues with similar type management games.

That being said I am 7 hours in and I am really liking it, it's getting a little more challenging the further I progress into the game but that's ok, I'm determined to unlock everything. Would definitely recommend this game

Partial Review:

I've only played close to two hours so far, most of that going around the Training area trying to find the maps, but what I can say is that id you enjoyed previous iterations of this game then this is more of the same, however if like me you are bemused by yet another yearly iteration of this game, with a inordinate amount of purchasable DLC, being able to use certain packs you bought for previous games while much much more new paid content is made available, and wondering what the difference between this and the inevitable Train Sim World 6 next year will be, then yeah, this probably isn't for you.

I recommend this game for the game play, the amount of content that you get with the base game especially as a owner of the previous games, and the fact that it is really good. however, I advise you read other reviews, research the previous games, reviews and complaints and make your own informed decisions about purchasing this game rather than from some old fart who really should know better than get this every year (even if waiting till on sale).

I honestly wasn't sure about this game at first (I was kind of tired of Simulation/Management games), but having seen somebody on YouTube playing it thought I would give it a chance, and I am so glad I did. I am having a lot of fun playing it, mostly from the pack opening aspect of the game, and trying to build my deck up while getting rid of duplicates. There's better reviews which can tell you more eloquently than I ever could why this game is worth getting, that is of course, if you need further advice, in my opinion this game is well worth buying.

Played about 7 hours so far and I am really enjoying the game, it isn't without some issues but if you move the game files to an SSD lower your settings a little it solves a lot of issues, and while it doesn't clear everything up it certainly fixes a lot of the issues you will hear people complain about.

I'm not someone that really pays much attention to the The Harry Potter stories, or the world this game is set in, but as a stand-alone game I do like the story a lot, really like the game play and would certainly have no problem recommending this game if your a fan of the world it's set in or rpg's, or both.

I've been playing the Codemasters series of F1 games for a number of years now, and while I think every bit of criticism aimed at them and EA is probably deserved for me personally I've always enjoyed the games and this year's edition is no different, I like the tracks that have been updates, enjoy the new career features, and overall am really happy with my purchase. the only real issue is the long wait right before the actual F1 race starts (a long loading screen of nothing), this may be a pc issue but I am doubtful this is the case, and is the only real issue in what has otherwise been a fun experience so far.

I tried this for about 45 minutes before stopping, taking a day or two to decide and finally requesting a refund.

I tried to like the game but there's just something off about it that I can't put my finger on that never sat right with me, it's not just the being unable to travel freely around, that is however one thing I didn't like compared to the first two games where you could walk around South Park visiting areas of the game.

The second thing that bothered me is that you are expected to play with other people, and if you don't then those other three slots on your team are filled with random 'New Guy' NPC's rather than being given the choice to play with the likes of Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, etc in your team.

I think the game-play too is, this is my biggest issue, because I feel like there is something wrong there but can't put my finger on what exactly it is, it's not that the game-play is really bad but changing it from taking turns to just a free for all doesn't work as well and the game-play is just button mashing till you win which isn't fun or a challenge, and that is coming from someone that isn't that great at these type of games to begin with but did think it was easier than it needed to be.

I have put in (at he time of this review) 1,600+ hours into Melvor Idle.

I've had to restart the game a few times, not being happy at how I was doing or how fast I was making money, etc, technical issues (PC NOT the game), and accidentally overwriting a saved game (RIP Sir Knights-Alot and all that gold).

The thing is, Melvor Idle shouldn't probably work, there's plenty of reasons people would look at this game and maybe not give it a second look, but you would be wrong because yes while this is an idle game and you can leave it running in the background (or offline for upto 24 hours, there is so much more to the game, in fact I'd go as far as saying not only is this a fantastic addition next to Runescape but in some ways I think it surpasses it (mostly as I am an antisocial mf'r and like single player games lol) The updates have added a lot of content and of course the DLC added much too, I can not recommend this game highly enough!

AVOID!

I've played just under five hours of RoboCop: Rogue City and have really enjoyed what I have played so far, it has the same sort of asthetic as the original films, which while may not look great when compared with modern game graphics it perfectly suits this game and really makes this feel like you are in the story world. Gameplay is fun, gameplay mechanics seem ok so far my only issue is not being able to physically save, so not sure what I am going to get back to when I play later but hopefully (fingers crossed) there won't be any issues (and this review will be updated if there is)

I would recommend this game, it's fun as a shooter and a fan of the Robocop franchise of films.
