Its alright i guess

TDM maps are kinda boring right now, most (if not all) maps are symmetrical which can lead to predictable and repeatitive gameply. If you're not into search and destroy modes don't play this game since it may become boring after long while

Free PTSD simulator

Performance optimization could be better and i wish there was a way to pickup weapons even if its limited ammo. I hope there will be more campaign missions

One of the best trilogies in entertainment history now bundled, remastered into 1 accessible package for future generations to enjoy. Mass Effect is an epic sci-fi, 3rd person shooter RPG that spans across 3 games.
Each game will carry over decisions and outcomes from previous game, which makes it mandatory to play the game chronologically.

Intro to the series, some of the gameplay mechanics has been reworked to make it feel more modern compared to the rest of the series. You can freely use any guns now without being restricted or penalized for using specific weapons in a class you choose.

+Great introduction to the universe
+Great class systems, each class have unique abilities
+Good squadmates with cool personalities
+Unique sci fi aesthetics

-Repetetive map layouts for planet outpost missions
-Bad waypoint system for quests, sometimes its very annoying to navigate a map when quests dont appear on map
-It is still a 2007 game but with some touchups

The goat of the series (supposedly) it has several gameplay upgrades, even the graphics got better obviously, more squadmates than the 1st game though some dont join us anymore

+Better gunplay and combat than the previous game
+Better graphics
+You can bring up to 5 weapons to missions
+Plot is more dark, Illusive Man has great voice acting
+Epic final mission that has very high stakes
+Fantastic missions, both base game and DLCs (Though all content are now included in this version)
+Epic set pieces

-A bit streamlined perks progression but not really a big deal
-Weapons lack of customization (This is fixed in ME3)
-Cannot romance non squad members who were previous squadmates

The series finale. Every decisions that you made in previous games all comes to this game.

+Best combat and gameplay in entire series, the guns just feel so good to shoot till this day its still has the best shooting mechanics out of any 3rd person shooter i ever played
+Best graphics in the series
+The mission intro debriefs before mission starts are a nice touch and adds to the immersion
+All DLC missions (Leviathan, Omega, Citadel) are epic
+Epic missions and setpieces throughout the game

-The endings are still super controversial to this day, you may like or not like it at all
-Multiplayer mode not included sadly, this mode is coop horde shooter and it is a lot of fun and you can play as any aliens in the series
-If you skip to this game without importing your save from prev games, the outcomes will suck.
-The final battle should have been longer (Its clear Bioware were rushed and ran out of time back then)

Overall this is a great package if you want hours of content and the replayability is there if you want to try out different classes and replay doing different decisions.
It is easily a must have game for any Steam Library

After 12 years we finally got the sequel to Dragons Dogma! This game is huge step up in terms of combat and open world. I really really enjoy the combat feels in this game. Honestly i also think the story is slightly better though it ain't oscar winning levels of writing like Witcher or Baldurs Gate 3


+Fantastic combat, every hit feels satisfying to land, there are some frame/input perfect moves you can master like Mystic Spearhand slow-blink, Tidal Slash from Warrior etc.
+Crazy open world that feels somewhat lively, i love how other monsters can just invade you while you're fighting and other npcs/enemies would even join to fight big monsters
+Great artstyle that is realistic yet looks nice (Hard to describe it)
+Good soundtrack, although most music in the open world is more "ambient" and subtle compared to DD1 where there's vocals when you out in Gransys/Cassardis
+Different ways to complete quests, me and my friend can finish a quest with different methods
+I absolutely love the systems and hidden mechanics in this game like the pawn system and Dragonsplague, it makes the game more interesting and seeing other player's pawns is always fun and such unique system that isn't seen in most games

+/- Enemy variety maybe be lacking until you hit post game
+/- Story can be somewhat hit or miss, some characters deserve more screentime and development
+/- Endgame should be replayable in new game+, imo its quite decent but with how it currently works it cannot respawn enemies and you couldnt replay the new bosses


-Performance needs to be better, if they can iron performance to be better it would be a solid game
-Photo mode should allow free camera like other games photo modes (Take a look how FFXIV, Cyberpunk, Death Stranding does photo mode)
-Too many goblins and saurians in open world, i wished there are more enemy variety spread especially how the endgame did. I do not mind fighting more bandits like in DD1
-Some people miss Everfall/Bitterblack isle content, while im not the biggest fan of these content i sure do miss Ur-Dragon they were raid boss levels that is sort of missing. I personally prefer the current open world endgame than stuck in some dungeon but i would like to see 1 big raid boss like Ur Dragon because the endgame bosses were pretty decent despite them having weird weak spots.

Overall the wait was worth it, i wouldnt mind if we get expansion dlc. Who should say no to more content eh?
9/10


Day 1 review below (old)
Also all the MTX drama/reviewbombs/ragebaits are dumb because literally everything can be obtained ingame.
The DLCs you all seeing are one time purchase too
Meanwhile in game you can get 10+ port crystals, you can use copycat the gaol keys from black market store, RC crystals can be obtained from just playing the game (Kill big monsters, camping, give ur pawn to other players, etc)

So basically just play the damn game first don't randomly review bomb a game and spread misinformation. Where were you all when RE4 came out

RIP TANGO GAMEWORKS. Rip HiFi Rush 2... FK U MICROSOFT GO SUCK THAT COD AND ELDER SCROLLS SO HARD I HATE SO MUCH, YOU ALL FINALLY GOT A NEW GOOD IP THEN YOU FK THIS UP (STARFIELD WASNT THAT GOOD TOO AND DIDNT WON AWARDS WTF)

(original review)
One of the best games of 2023! BY FAR THE BEST XBOX GAME released this year, no debates
Great action, unique comic book like art style, fun combos, great characters, a lot of replayability, tons of skins to unlock even for other characters, BANGER SOUNDTRACK AND SOUND DESIGN. THERE IS A PHOTO MODE TOO WTF!!!!!!

The only few downsides i have with the game is that there is no lockon button which makes it hard to single out enemies and especially if you want to grapple to a certain enemy which can lead you to fly towards different enemy please Tango add LOCK ON BUTTON FOR CHAI, use either L3 or R3 on controller, the normal movement speed is too slow especially if you're not using perfect beat dodges to move around.

Overall this is fantastic, solid game that everyone should play, it's very polished and runs very well on most systems! I really hope a sequel is in the works that will allow us to play other characters as well.
9/10

Tekken 8 practice room but i will still suck at the game

Phantom Liberty is an expansion to Cyberpunk 2077 that is a spy thriller like James Bond movies, V is tasked to save President Myers of NUSA, the events of Phantom Liberty takes place in middle of the game.
The expansion adds new story and even a new ending to base game which the player can choose.

Great story, good pacing, fantastic characters
A lot of new weapons and iconics that are fun to use
New area that is quite packed despite it being small from the outside
Ear melting soundtrack, like seriously the theme song is literally a James bond theme song.
Fantastic level design and gigs that has more depth compared to base game

The only downside of this expansion is that it's the only expansion we will ever get which is sad because the level of quality put into this expansion is very high quality
Overall easily one of the most compelling stories you can experience in a game and comparing this to previous Witcher 3 expansions, i'd say the quality is on par with Hearts Of Stone easily.

10/10.

just make it free bruh, especially the weapons, Last wish and Shattered Throne lol

its fun ig

Best halo gameplay to date, free to play multiplayer, very fast paced and strategic, takes skill and good knowledge to master the game, a lot of nice customization, overall a lot of fun especially now a lot of community content made through forge and consistent updates these past few months.

I've been playing this game since the first beta and i never stopped playing despite its ups and downs, I'm very loyal to this game despite the hatred towards this game. I really enjoy this game a lot and i don't think there's anything similar to it in the market right now. Give it try and at least comeback, if you havent been playing also untick HD texture in DLC menu so the game will run better.
