🌟 OVERALL RATING: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

Hunt: Showdown isn’t just a game; it’s an experience—a pulse-pounding blend of survival horror, tactical PvP, and monster hunting set in the atmospheric swamps of 1896.

✅ Pros:
Tension-Packed Gameplay: Every match is a heart-racing gamble as you balance PvE monster hunting with the threat of unpredictable enemy players.
Stunning Atmosphere: The Louisiana bayou is brought to life with haunting visuals, dynamic lighting, and immersive sound design that keeps you on edge.
Unique Setting: A grim blend of Western and Gothic horror, with gritty weapons and terrifying creatures that set it apart from traditional shooters.
Rewarding Gunplay: Vintage weapons, slow reloads, and skill-based combat make every kill feel satisfying.
Progression System: The Bloodline system keeps the stakes high; hunters who die are gone forever, but their experience contributes to your overall progress.

⚠️ Cons:
Steep Learning Curve: New players might find the mechanics overwhelming and the PvP brutal.
Solo Play is Risky: While possible, playing alone against teams of two or three can feel punishing.
Performance Issues: Despite updates, some players still encounter frame drops and minor glitches.
Matchmaking Concerns: At lower skill levels, matchmaking can sometimes feel unbalanced.

💬 What makes Hunt: Showdown special?
Hunt: Showdown is unlike any other shooter. It’s not about racking up kills or rushing objectives—it’s about strategy, survival, and knowing when to retreat. Each match is an intense game of cat-and-mouse, where the real enemies might not be the monsters but the rival hunters stalking the shadows.

The game thrives on sound. Footsteps, gunshots, and even crows act as deadly giveaways, making every decision—whether to sprint, sneak, or shoot—a potential life-or-death choice.

💡 Pro Tips:
Use the Environment: Sound is your best weapon and worst enemy. Avoid noisy terrain, and listen carefully for enemies.
Start with Tutorials: Don’t skip the training missions—they’ll save you from a lot of early-game frustration.
Invest in Teamwork: Playing with friends or communicating with teammates can drastically improve your odds of survival.
Manage Your Resources: Use consumables wisely—your life often depends on a single well-timed medkit or firebomb.

🎭 The 1896 Experience:
The dark lore of Hunt: Showdown pulls you into a twisted world where humanity battles the supernatural with little more than rusted firearms and grit. Each match feels like stepping into a gritty horror film where you are both predator and prey.

Would I recommend this game?
**YES—**if you love tense, tactical shooters with a horror twist. Hunt: Showdown isn’t for the faint of heart, but for those willing to embrace its challenges, it offers one of the most rewarding multiplayer experiences out there.

⏳ Time Played: ~100 hours
🎮 Play Style: A cautious bounty hunter who dies to friendly fire far too often.

Are you ready to brave the bayou and claim your bounty—or die trying?

🌟 OVERALL RATING: ★★★★★ (5/5)

If you’ve never played Oblivion, you owe it to yourself to dive into one of the most immersive RPGs ever created.

✅ Pros:
Expansive Open World: The province of Cyrodiil is vast, beautiful, and filled with secrets. Whether you're exploring the dense forests, snowy mountains, or eerie caves, the world feels alive and inviting.
Incredible Questlines: From the epic Main Quest involving the Oblivion Crisis to the unforgettable Dark Brotherhood storyline, the game is bursting with content.
Dynamic Character Customization: Play as a stealthy thief, a noble warrior, or a magic-wielding battle mage—Oblivion gives you the tools to define your adventure.
Radiant AI: NPCs have their own routines, making the world feel more lived-in than most games of its time.
Iconic Music: Jeremy Soule's soundtrack sets the perfect tone, from the grandiose title theme to the serene exploration music.
Expansions Included: With Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, there’s even more to enjoy after the main game.

⚠️ Cons:
Dated Graphics: While groundbreaking in 2006, the visuals might feel a bit rough for modern gamers. (Mods can help!)
Level Scaling: Enemies and loot level with you, which can sometimes feel unsatisfying as you progress.
Voice Acting Repetition: A limited number of voice actors means you’ll hear the same lines from different characters often.

💬 What makes Oblivion special?
The game’s charm lies in its imperfections. Oblivion’s world is full of quirky moments: townspeople arguing over sweetrolls, hilarious physics bugs, and the infamous "Stop! You violated the law!" guard dialogue. Yet, these elements only add to its enduring appeal.

Whether you’re battling in the Arena, solving the Thieves Guild riddles, or simply getting lost in the countryside, there’s always something new to discover.

💡 Pro Tips:

Install mods for improved graphics and QoL enhancements (e.g., Oblivion Character Overhaul, Unofficial Patches).
Save often. You never know when a rogue mudcrab or an overzealous guard will ruin your day.
Join every guild! Each one offers unique stories and rewards that add layers to your character.
Would I recommend this game?
ABSOLUTELY. Even years after its release, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion stands as a testament to how great RPGs should be. If you’re a fan of open-world adventures, this is a must-play.

⏳ Time Played: ~65+ hours
🎮 Play Style: A stealthy Khajiit with a penchant for cheese wheels and alchemy.

Now, go forth and close shut the jaws of Oblivion!

2/10

Great replay-ability, dopamine-inducing game-play, awesome classes and nice customization.



10/10.

These types of games are always fun for the first week or two but once the sweats get their hands on it, it'll always be over.

Was incredibly fun while it lasted.

Not better than the previous games in the series, and online mode is utter trash. Campaign's pretty good though, and I haven't tried FIveM yet.

The Best Game in the Elder Scrolls Series so far, incredible mod potential for overhauling game-play, graphics, or even the engine itself. This is a masterpiece.

Cute little survival based half-life rip-off with liminal aesthetics. 8.5/10
