Gunfire took what made Remnant: From The Ashes so great and cranked the dial to the max with this one. Tons of replayability, expansive loot, and best of all a wide variety of archetypes and build synergy. I have played through the campaign twice now, and adventure mode multiple times. Making small decisions each time and having different outcomes is one of the most rewarding experiences to look forward to when rerolling your campaign. Play solo or with friends you are bound to have a blast.
This actually might be my GOTY right now. Great game!

First of all if you enjoy the original Resident Evil then I would say you should play this game, secondly this game also uses the inventory management that RE4 uses as well. Clearly a lot of inspiration from that franchise, but in the best way.
The level design, characters, puzzles, and story are all fleshed out and terrific. The game is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the Indie Horror scene.

The Szymanski Family are all talented developers, so this was a no-brainer when I saw it go live.
Play their games and you'll understand that they all take influence from the best parts of what make games fun, and crank it to eleven.

Oh and for those worried about the length of the game (as if that matters), there are tons of secrets to find, cheats and game modes will also become accessible after your first completion. Some are game changers, and others are just for fun, either way a normal playthrough of searching for everything can last up to about 5-6 hours.
I'd also like to note I purchased this Day 1 and the game never crashed nor did it give me any issues performance wise.

Throughout my entire experience with My Friendly Neighborhood it was nothing short of a good time.

I'm looking forward to making a video review on this one.
Well done! I look forward to whatever you guys make next.

This game was one of my most anticipated games of 2022, it did not deliver.

I felt like this game compares close to the last Dead Space game, we are thrown into a situation we don't really understand and once it finishes I am left unsatisfied and honestly disappointed. I was really hoping the story, the scares, and the atmosphere would be enough to make me enjoy it all, but the tedious dance of melee combat felt stale, the atmosphere and jumpscares became very predictable, and most of all the story uses every standard trope til the end. Overall this game deserves a 4/10 at best.

I'd say wait for a sale, but tbh just replay Dead Space, or grab the remake, cause this ain't it chief.

Still to this day, I think this game is one of the most underrated titles pushed out by Frictional Games. It has one of the most unique story lines, and the atmosphere at times can be intense. The world building along with the storytelling of our main protagonist feels special. This kind of polish happens once in a blue moon, it isn't a long game took me about 6 hours to beat. But if you are in the market for a deep sea, sci-fi adventure, look no further.

SOMA 10/10. Play it.

First of all, this game is not for everyone and that is okay.
I have been waiting years for this games release so I had my expectations a little higher, truthfully though I am a bit disappointed.
The atmosphere and vibe were creepy and subtle, the visuals are also very detailed and quite beautiful to take in.
However, that's about it as far as the pros go, the cons unfortunately outweigh them heavily too.

I didn't have any issues with the puzzles, most of them require some use of your brain. I actually liked the puzzles a lot. It is the tedious enemy combat and also positioning of the enemies I have an issue with. The enemies tend to stack on each other and when that occurs it overlaps the damage output. You take about 2 bars worth of damage per tick, when you have ranged enemies and close combat enemies in the mix it can get chaotic quick. The room you fight the enemies in as well is a bit cramped so dodging is a bit of a challenge, not impossible.
If you happen to die, you will reload to the nearest checkpoint. However, this game does not have a save game feature, I usually like this in most games in case of a crash. I don't want to repeat puzzles, or combat for progression I have already done. In that regard it can be generous to you, or it can reload you at the start of an act. The final act of the game is extremely vivid, but its glossed over with repetitive mechanics, and unnecessarily weird scripting.

Overall rating for this game would be a generous 5/10 for the 8 years it took to come out of development hell and the 5 hours I spent to beat it.

If you aren't a novice in puzzle games / walking sims / basic fps mechanics then you may have a problem. But seeing how kids play fortnite these days. I think you'll be alright.

I recommend you wait for a sale, buy it at half its price at most. Truthfully you can get more out of a $10 game.

I feel bad for all the kickstarters.

If you enjoyed gaming in the early 2000's and wish there was a modern take on that genre, this is the game for you.

I rarely write reviews anymore, but this game was a blast, its short and sweet, very nostalgic of games like Crash Bandicoot as well. This project was headed by a solo developer who obviously has a great passion for his work. I didn't run into any performance issues, and I enjoyed the entire ride. Thank you for making something enjoyable during these harsh times!

Also love when I get to see the growth of a game within its development, so enjoyable to watch those credits roll, well done!

I played this game in 2010 at release, it was horrible back then. Even upon its re-release it has had its issues, but this games evolution has truly stood the test of time. I know enough now to express my thoughts and feelings into this review.

FFXIV cares about your time, and never makes you feel like you are lagging behind. It allows you to pace yourself and present itself with an immersive story, as well as, incredible scores within each instance.

As a WoW refugee, this game actually made me more happy to see a positive community in a game that's moderated by its developers. It's not meant to deter you from having fun, but to inspire you to help others become more grounded in the foundation its made.

You can play the free trial (the whole base game, and heavensward; the first expansion) completely for free with no time limit. Which after writing this I have now played through - that means you have possibly over 100 hours of free content waiting to be explored.

I recommend this game to anyone looking to escape into a world thats less bleak than the one we all live in.

10/10 would sub to many times again.

-----------------------------------------

Update:
I have completed Endwalker. This game made me tear up, it made me angry, it made me feel.
If you are on the fence about playing or even trying FFXIV just do it. You wont lose anything, play the free trial and decide whenever. I believe the developers truly care about their game and every time we get an update gets me more hyped for the future. Still the best MMO experience within a community I have ever had.

Update:
Game is still fun and good. Should give it a try if you haven't already. :D

Sadly, I can not see myself enjoying this. As someone who has been welcomed into D&D through friends, it is much more enjoyable to sit over a discord call and roleplay in a one-shot then play this.

I try not to let game journalists or even fans of the game get my hopes down but damn do I feel let down big time.
A lot goes into making a game, and I do believe they will fix some things, however this is kind of unacceptable for the price point. $40 for this? And not only that if you want to see how broken things are go ahead and look below.

Right off the bat, I hit many problems and bugs within my near hour of play.
-AI standing on nothing only to be killed by a ranged attack. (Goblins can't just do that, can they?)
-Playing solo, your character just monologues to themselves boasting about what is too come; this is corny/unrealistic.
-Playing with others, connectivity was spotty at best, but within my first mission the difficulty was bumped up 1 peg...
just 1...the AI proceeded to lock us in a corner until we died from constant barrages or DOT from the environment.
-FPS drops when fighting random 2-3 goblins at a time, also camera locked up on me (couldn't look left or right) Death was the only fix.
-Beware of your short rests, they come with a cost...want sweet loot rarity? or would you like to start from the beginning over and over and over again, the choice is yours...ugh.

I feel bad for those who looked forward to this because I know I did. This game has no love in it. It has story thats been around since 1988, and the setting just may be the only take away from this game.

Didn't rush through it, enjoyed every second.
Don't believe everything you hear either, the game isn't a broken mess like people say, yes some bugs are in the game, but as you can see it is fully playable. I beat every mission and got every ending, without any real hiccups along the way. Not to mention around 90 hours of gameplay that was purely just fun to go through. I dont normally go through games in full completion but this one was hard to put down so I had to push myself to get all the achievements. I would recommend you give this game a shot, maybe a few months from now when they have ironed out some of the graphical bugs other than that I loved the story and each ending is pretty satisfying. 2020 was a ♥♥♥♥ year, but this was a good time in 2077.

EDIT:
I poured another 100 hours into a fresh playthrough. Update 2.0 has brought this game it is full potential with a reworked perk system, and meaningful changes within the world of Night City. The game has never felt better than right now. I haven't tried out modding for this game yet, mostly because I am afraid I will fall in love again with replaying this game...but I will try to one day soon. Regardless, Phantom Liberty came out finally, and it absolutely delivered on all fronts. CDPR knows how to do DLC correctly, you get so much more than what you paid for with Phantom Liberty, and in my opinion, its an expansion that needs to exist in your game. You should be playing this game over Starfield. It's a better game, with a better story, and better bones. Not once will you be pulled into a loading screen unless you die, or are save scumming. Needless to say, but your immersion comes first and foremost with Cyberpunk.

If this expansion doesn't get love in the Game Awards this year, I will know that the award show is rigged.

Thank you CDPR for making the game I loved in 2020, a game I could love even more in 2023. Looking forward to the sequel!
