So I got this game like a couple years ago on sale and it was just sitting in my library till Dying Light 2 got a release date.

Oh, how I regret not playing it earlier. The game is just absolutely fun. Nearly everything about its gameplay is enjoyable, be it the parkour, or the zombies or the excellent night-time adrenaline rush. The quests are reasonably balanced (though I've only done like 1 main quest so far), and the world is pretty enjoyable to explore.

The enemy types do feel a bit narrow, but that issue doesn't exist in the night-time or in the more high-level areas.

It can be frustrating with early weapons, but once you unlock the bigger machetes and stuff, the game really opens up a whole tin can of ways you can murder zombies, and that just amps the fun factor tenfold.

All in all, a solid game to sink your hours in. Barring very few issues, I guarantee you will leave with a gigantic smile on your face.

Oh, and it's pretty light on the resources too (though I did have to cut down details to keep framerates around 60).

It's about 3x more fun being an impostor than a crewmate tbh, but this is ridiculously fun.

Loved Darksiders II when I played it the first time, and I love Darksiders just as much.

Yes, I played them in reverse order. No, I don't know why.

This game has everything I want:

Balls-to-the-walls difficulty
Rad music
Epic as hell gunplay

Ez 10/10 gib Hotline Miami 3 pl0x

I know I'm about to walk into some major heartbreak even as I clear out the poor bugs who've been infected and save the cute-as-heck grubs, I know I'll cry when this game is over.

But I'm ok with that. I love this game, that's all that matters. I want to see it through to the end no matter what sadness lies ahead, but I will protect the Knight's smile.

This game is going to make you feel like a worthless, helpless person, so better keep aa game that makes ypu feel happy always ready as a backup.

I got this game during a sale period, and only got around to playing it recently because of other priorities. While initially, the game was engaging with the dialogue and the art style, it quickly got too much, and has only been downhill since then. The guns have no weight to them, the melee weapon handles terribly, regardless of what I am using, and the double-tap power-ups can get highly aggravating in close-quarter combat, of which there is a lot. Upon that, the enemies just don't feel 'right', so to speak, and coupled with the puzzles' incessant need to spawn a squadron of hell right up my face just breaks the flow, especially after I killed a hundred or so less than a minute ago. even Wang's brand of humor isn't enough to get me out of that dreary, mechanical clockwork of "Find tanuki 1 2, break tanuki 3 4, kill horde of demons 5 6, face boss 7 8, repeat".

Unfortunately, this game just doesn't have the 'heart' that I felt Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2 have, and I have zero positive points I can tell about it.

Over a 100 hours on this game alone (well, 66 recorded, the rest was in offline mode), and I can say for certain that this is the best of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games.

Overall: 9/10

- Bad guy's plot twist

Lot more improvement needed on the technical side, but the game itself is pretty good (for a Just Cause game, of course).
