Its mediocre at best, one of the Bethesda games of all time.

My big issue is the ridiculous exp grind for the skills/perks. Its similar to the system in Fallout 4/76 where each level up you get one point to add to a single perk, but to upgrade it on the next level up you need to do an action a certain amount of times as seen on the perk descriptor: this wouldn't be so bad if you earned more exp during the game. So now I have a ton of resources but can barely use them in weapon/armour upgrades, outpost building, medicine, and cooking. Very frustrating

Base game is good, lots of stuff to even when you finish the main quest. The DLC is okay, far harbor is the best in my opinion. If you get bored there's a massive modding community that makes great things.

Being a Todd Howard game, there are still some bugs and game breaking glitches here and there but at least the game doesn't crash as often as 3 and New Vegas. I would recommend buying the GOTY version on sale.

Apart from having to fiddle with the games files to get it running, its a great game. I would recommend the GOG version as it runs out of box just fine, albeit with very little tweaking done to the files.

This 13 year old game is the first in the Fallout series to be developed by Bethesda. Its interesting how they transitioned from the previous titles isometric to the first person perspective. The game does have its bugs but crashes are not common in the vanilla version; DLC is overall okay. I am very fond of this game as it and Fallout 2 were my fist games in the Fallout series.

I would recommend getting this game if you're a fan of Fallout, but no one will blame you if you skip this for New Vegas which is also very good.

ATTENTION: ACE COMBAT IS MEANT TO BE PLAYED WITH A CONTROLLER!

This game was my introduction to the Ace Combat series and I'm hooked. Its a great arcade experience with some simulator elements and has high replayability. The story and gameplay is pretty good throughout the game although it has its shortcomings. It takes a while to get used to the controls and takes forever to master them, combat and movement is alright. There are a couple of tight areas that you must fly in which are very grueling if you still don't have a grasp of the controls and you'll waist a lot of ammo if you don't have the movement patterns memorized. I recommend getting it on sale.

I have not played the game much but so far I like what I see. The story and environment is very interesting and promises to provide a "realistic" medieval experience.

Its a given that open world RPG's have some bugs and glitches, which thankfully I have yet to encounter a game breaking one here, but there are still some frustrating bugs. The movement system is a bit iffy, you can get stuck on random parts of the terrain( which really screws you over in combat) and can injure your feet/legs from a 2 foot drop. Another one is the game somehow fails certain skill checks. For example, I offer to bandage Mark's wound. I have 20 bandages and the First Aid 1 skill and I still fail the check even after numerous save file reloads.

The combat in this game is clunky but has its charm, its very unique when compared to other combat systems. I enjoy the melee weapon combat because its pretty easy to learn but hard to master, but not the bow combat as its slow and tedious. Its best to fight one on one whenever you can as you can get screwed over pretty quickly by multiple enemies.

Overall, its a good fantasy game but you have to be patient with some of it's flaws. 8/10.

Early Access Review
Good semi tactical tank combat game. It is a turn-based rogue like where if your tank commander dies its game over. The graphics are very primitive but the mechanics are very well developed. It is evident that the game developer has and still is working very hard on this game. I am excited to see where this goes!

My experience with this game is very poor, but it may turn out better for you. Here are my experiences:

- Every server I joined would have client side packet loss and server side connection issues even though I consistently had 60 ping.

- Being a new player all your primary and secondary weapons suck. Its like you're using a potato cannon while your enemies have FN FAL's. You can upgrade them over time, it just takes really long when you're up against lvl 50+ players. I also don't like how classes are restricted to certain weapons.

- Keyboard and mouse controls for the plane are horrid and I cannot for the life of me get used to them after playing War Thunder. It is very evident that they are solely designed around a controller.

- Destroying enemy tanks with AT weapons is very frustrating as they either do a glancing blow or don't actually cripple the tank. From what I know, there are no weak spots that result in significant damage.

- Airplanes can shrug off several direct hits from the 40mm AAA emplacements regardless of where they hit the plane. So you can't really kill the pilot without actually destroying the plane and you can't shoot out their engines.
