This game was a cornerstone of my childhood. A weird, alien world that you're basically tossed into and told "go" from the beginning. Everywhere you walk is fraught with danger and potential death, the world is also quite unforgiving (at first).

I've tried at least once a year for 14 years to actually beat Morrowind (hours on steam don't include the endless hours using the original discs), and never have completed the main story. Each time I boot it up I tell myself "this is the year" and I end up burning hours meandering the massive and beautiful world, getting completely lost.

If you've played Skyrim or maybe Oblivion and are hungry for more, I would wholeheartedly recommend Morrowind. Yes, it's crusty, but I think it holds up. With some mods it works even better (or check out OpenMW). The questlines are well done, the story is fantastic, and the character build options are endless!

Great game, fantastic to play with friends. Nothing beats cracking the skulls of Thaggoraki and Kazaki-dums. Quickplay like most online games is always a gamble, you get silent partners or toxic gremlins. The solo AI do alright to carry their own weight.

If you're a fan of Left 4 Dead at all, but really if you're a fan of Warhammer Fantasy this is definitely worth picking up.

It breaks my heart to give this a thumbs down, but I will hold it until things change. The game is genuinely fun, I really enjoy many aspects of it but the bugs are so dreadful you just end up wasting so much time. The center aspect of this game is marriage, children, all the family stuff. The dates are constantly bugged, with your date hovering in the date spot for days, accepting endless gifts with no benefit. The marriage questline is the most confounding and frustrating chore in this game, and there's moments you can just fail the whole thing and have to start again, mind you the marriage questline takes about 7 days to fully complete. It requires you at one point to pick a certain weed, but if you, like most scouted the maps and picked them, you're SOL, and will fail the quest, losing a heart, which requires you to wait until the 'sunday' to pick the marriage rose but OH ALSO you have to get the hearts back to max or they'll just deny the rose that re-starts the questline.

I really do quite like the game, well right now the IDEA of the game. In this current state I cannot recommend anyone investing time, because I've lost so many hours I won't get back due to either bugs or just a poorly thought out system.

Amazing game. The story made me cringe, laugh, cry, and everything in-between. Community is (for the most part) pretty great, with the occasional goblin.

It's a little rocky in some places, a little buggy here and there (no puns intended) but at the end of the day it's a great game with some really nifty mechanics that no one has tried before. Worth checking out, DEFINITELY worth checking out if it's on sale.

An absolute blast even on solo. With friends this game absolutely shines. Great content and the devs seem super attentive and are constantly working to add new content.

Rock and stone!

My original review was to not recommend due to internet issues. After finally being able to play and spending a good amount of time on it, I really enjoy it.

It's a janky MMO but a lot of fun to build up your character and jump into massive siege battles. Imagine if M&B Warband and Dynasty Warriors had a kid with a janky foreign MMO company.

Great game, really excited to see where they go with it.

I have well over 75 hours on the Playstation 4 version, but was so beyond hyped to be able to purchase it again for PC. I'm in no way a diehard Kojima fan, frankly I think he's overrated, but this game is honestly a hidden gem. A lot of people brushed it off when they saw "walking simulator" and I think a lot of them are missing out.

Is this game for everyone? No. Does it break the mold on traditional AAA games that just copy/paste the same thing with some changes (looking at you Ubisoft)? Yeah it does, and it does it well. Is it perfect? No.

It's a unique story that no one except Kojima would create, but it's interesting, touching, and worth experiencing. Experiencing the landscape while helping to reunite a bunch of closed of settlements while these creatures from beyond, the BT's are waiting to get their hands on you, and if they're not after you a bunch of deliverers-gone-mad known as MULEs will try to tase you and steal your ♥♥♥♥.

Seriously though, it's a unique experience and absolutely worth it. I bought it, bought the Collector's Edition, then bought it a third time on PC (hoping for mods). If you're thinking about getting it, play it through to Chapter 2 before you brush it off and scream refund from the rooftops.

I never thought I would find myself playing a truck simulator...

But here we are. It's oddly relaxing and fun to pick up a delivery, and zoom across Europe enjoying the sites, listening to some awesome music (they have built-in radio stations for you to enjoy, and a multitude of languages), and try not to get a ticket for speeding or smashing into things.

The controls and steering of the truck take a bit to get used to, at this point I come as close to driving straight across a traffic circle as I can with it being "legal" and not causing damage to my delivery. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy simulators.
