Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

Instead of making difficult encounters this game puts 6+ enemies against you at one time. This game bugged and a story boss would not appear in the arena, while his health bar was visible, music there and fog gate all worked. I had to get cheat engine to tell the game that I had beaten the bugged boss and advanced further. A few hours later, my save became corrupted and I had lost all my progress all up to that point. I had to start again.

Since this piece of ♥♥♥♥ was not made by the hands of The Master himself, its a garbage game and not worth it.

The weapon animations are cool, gear and weaponry variety is great, story is meh. Does it compare to the first game ? No, the first one is superior. Should you play this game ? No, you can proudly skip it and go play the third one while not missing much.

Great game to enjoy with friends or solo. Survival which gets harder with every day. Lots of fun moments for a game that gets updated often. Get it on sale

What an amazing game for 2023. Long anticipated and long awaited, here it finally is. The story is great and gets better as the game progresses. The gunplay is amazing and keeps you wanting more of it. Soundtrack is spot on for the theme of the game, unfortunately, non-russian speakers will have a hard time relating to this game since it is not something they grew up with, such as Nu Pogodi. The Soundtrack contains classic Soviet hits, techno music and classic hits but with a modern twist.

The game has bugs, sometimes getting stuck between rocks, in some corners, there are a few audio bugs too which all in all have minimal impact on the gameplay. For Mundfish, this is their first game and in general, its miles better than what the "AAA Industry" ♥♥♥♥♥ out every year. If you have not played it yet, give it a try, I am sure you will find something you like about it.

Where do we begin ? It has the word Halo in its name but is lacking that which made the community fall in love with the franchise. After playing it, I had the impression that this game was made by Halo fans but they did not understand what made the trilogy so good. A lack of mission diversity, the endless and boring Forerunner corridors, lack of immersion into the world around you, a massive lore dump all at once and a lackluster villain which does not instill this desire to learn more from him, but just to disregard him.



Over the years as games progressed they got more and more beautiful and the graphics adjusted with the possibility at the times, however, Halo 4 is very beautiful and well drawn but it lacks the rounded and obtuse charm that the previous series had. It got prettier but it does not carry the same appeal. The models are more detailed but just not the same. You will learn that this game introduces 3 new enemy varieties, that's it. The rest are taken from previous entries but with its AI worsened and more sluggish.



They worked on personifying the Chief more in this game, his interactions with Cortana, the emotions the duo conveyed throughout the game was delved into and peaked my curiosity to see what happens next. The twist with Cortana was interesting and well placed which pushed the narrative further. The cut-scenes are incredible and well made, making the players enjoy them.



I still cannot put away this feeling that the game was not made by Bungie and it shows and feels from start to finish, Bungie had an understanding of scope and scale and knew what the players wanted to do while playing, this is not present here. It pains me to see that such a wonderful franchise took the wrong path and is gradually becoming worse and worse, straying away from what made Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST and Reach the great games that they are.

Average Left 4 Dead 2 Enjoyer:

Amazing soundtrack which is different to the prior trilogy, especially the jazz music with a dark rainy atmosphere makes a remarkable combo. Good story with a subtle hint of detective work. You get a good look at the events from another point of view, gameplay was simple and straightforward during the campaign.

Felt repetitive during some parts of the story but does not ruins the experience overall. Can recommend to anyone after Halo 3.

What a brilliant way to conclude the trilogy ! The game constantly keeps you on the edge of your chair, wanting to uncover more and more of the story. Speaking of the story, it is just as awesome as the 2 previous entries in the series, action packed, interesting and not too long but not too short. The AI of the enemies if very good, they dodge, take cover and move all around you making the gameplay fun and fast-paced.

Graphics are decent for a game that come out such a long time ago, voice acting is very good but there is unfortunately no subtitles during the gameplay which makes understand others around you, especially during a firefight, difficult. Overall, a smooth transition from the other titles and I am looking forward to completing the rest of the series. Bungie really outdid themselves !

As always this review will be spoiler-free. Following from Halo Combat Evolved, what a blast this has been. Graphics are first since that is what everyone looks at first. They are great on the original and enhanced, you can always switch between them at any time. Cutscenes have been enhanced and totally remade, look nothing like the original. Halo 2 immerses you in its atmosphere. Missions are well crafted, the ambiance is on point, especially when it builds up fear or simply the feeling of a badass. Followed up by a kickass soundtrack. Story feels awesome even it the game was rushed and some levels end a little abruptly, in my opinion. Gameplay feels good, enemies react to grenades and take cover unlike in some triple A titles where they might as well be dummies a gun range. At higher difficulties, the game is unforgiving of mistakes and keeps you alert and on your toes at all times. Halo 2 is a well-crafted follow-up to an amazing classic and is a must play, because it shows what a game looks like when developers put in the time and truly love the project they are working on.

As a player to the Halo franchise, having started with this game, I can say it kept me engaged and wanting more from Halo. Good character progression, missions were fun and the AI against you is good. If you are starting with Halo, please start with this one in order to better follow the story of the next games. The game is not too short and does not overstay its welcome, a must play at least once for anyone interested in the series. Oh and one last thing. Thank you Bungie.

Halo Combat Evolved, it truly did evolve combat for its time. It's so simple yet so satisfying for what it is. Levels reflect it's time and are tedious at some points. Enemy AI are really good and are even better than those from 2021. They dodge, take cover, react to grenades, and rush you when you are behind cover. Gunplay is okay, nothing special but nothing impressive, it keep you interested in combat and the sounds are something else. The level design in the original game is perfect, dimly lit or dark to convey a message. The enhanced ruins the original feel the devs were looking to achieve at a few points through the story, it feels like. You can press Tab to switch between original and enhanced. Music is amazing, awesome tracks and the OG Halo theme is insanely good for that time and today. It all comes together in a good and interesting experience which explains its future popularity. A must play today to remind us of how simple yet satisfying game used to be
