YOU WILL GET A VIRUS IF YOU ATTEMPT TO PLAY ONLINE! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU WISH TO PLAY MULTIPLAYER. Activision is aware that every CoD game from CoD 4 - Black Ops 2 has a vulnerability in it that allows other people in your server to send files and execute them without anything visually happening. People are getting hacked with ransomeware and rather than fix this HUGE issue they put the games on sale and dont warn anyone about this. The moment you choose to connect to a lobby, your computer is already infected.

Get zombies chronicles edition, its the only way to play. All the zombies!!!

I watched Bill from L4D get killed by a teddy bear. Would play again.

As someone who has hated this game ever since EOC, and as someone who has spent MANY hours in OSRS; this game is FINALLY deserving of praise from a classic Runescape player. EOC is still alive and well in the game sadly, but you no longer really have to keep up with it. They have a new "revolution" option that automatically does abilities for you so combat is back to the simple "click enemy, kill enemy" mechanics we know and love.

Skill training isnt as much of a slog as it used to be. With such amazing quality of life additions like porters, it allows you to train for hours in some cases without having to make a bank run. The skills are diverse and play to each other, making the training of multiple skills not only necessary to do other tasks, it makes the game have a lot more going for it than just "im going to train this for several days just to do x thing that takes level 90 to do".

If you completely ignore the treasure hunter, this game is amazingly fun. If you dont mind engaging with the TH, the game basically feeds you unlimited keys for it for free just by training skills in the game. Those keys almost always result in XP boosts, which you can use to speed up skill training.

All in all, the game feels like it rewards your time more than OSRS does. And because its the main game, its also getting more content than OSRS is (and OSRS is in a serious content drought at the moment). If youve only ever played OSRS, treat this like a fresh start world. I would also HIGHLY suggest that you select "I have never played before" on tutorial island, and then skipping tutorial island from the logout menu. This will put you straight into the game, but will also give you a more "open world" feel for a tutorial. It will have you go through a lot of the same basic steps, but you are free to roam the world as much as you want as it teaches you about the new systems. Adventure Paths also helps get you acquainted with the new content and systems you are not familiar with from OSRS. This gets a massive thumbs up from me.

Check my game library, I am a FPS and RPG game player at heart. I dont really branch off too often from these two genres. Before playing this game, I had heard the term "roguelike" used to describe games I also had no interest in so I associated it with a genre I wouldnt like without knowing the first thing about what the genre was.

This game was my first, and it absolutely blows my mind with how fun and addicting this game can be. The incredibly interesting quest system is unique and fun. The quests are on a tile system, and each character gets their own for each map the game provides. You get 1-2 tiles already flipped with a task to complete. When you complete that task, you get a reward and the adjecent tiles to the one you just completed flips and you can see the tasks behind each one. Rinse and repeat until youve done them all. If the unlocks and gold werent incentive enough to do these quests, you also get an XP boost based on how many quests youve completed.

Every character shares from a pool of blessings, which are essentially just starting out with various in-match unlocks already acquired. Every character also shares your list of unlocked maps to play. From there, each character has its own pool of items to wear as well as quests to complete. Once in-match, youll be pitted against unlimited waves of enemies for 30 minutes trying to survive the entire time if possible. When the match is over, you can take gold you earned in the match to unlock blessings as well as other things as you progress.

This is also my first ever Early Access title, and to say I am excited to be here and enjoying the game would be an understatement. Last but not least, I have been spending my entire playtime using a Steam Deck in SteamOS mode and it runs like a dream. Its clear the devs are working really hard on this game and truly have a passion for the craft. Keep up the good work, and I am super excited to see where this game and your company go!

Quite literally unplayable now. Rockstar has this weird affinity for updating this game every few months with absolutely no new content or bug fixes but weird launcher updates. This most recent update did more than update the launcher, it also updated the game executable. Whatever they did in that update has now completely broken the game to the point where it wont even start anymore. I dont know what their end game here is, but I would suggest against buying this game until it actually boots.

Game was fine until yesterday. Now the main menu is replaced with an ad for some crappy other game, and the game locks up upon leaving the ad.

YES, A YEARS OLD GAME THAT HASNT BEEN TOUCHED IN FOREVER HAS FINALLY BEEN UPDATED... TO FORCE AN AD AND THEN QUIT.

This is the future of gaming. They will just take things away from you on a whim.

My God is this game painful to play. The tutorial is tediously long with constant stopping just to have to go through dialogue that has nothing to do with anything and doesnt ask you to change the task you are already on. Spelling errors everywhere, painfully slow pacing, and the game never gets better. Stay out!

THIRD BIG REVIEW UPDATE:

As it stands now, the game is in the best state its been in in awhile. Stability is extremely high, content is extremely high, and with the "Test your Metal" season coming up things are even better than ever. Its never been a better time to play.

-4 (3 if you count the fact that 1 of them is a 2 parter) major storyline's that you can sink your teeth into
-Daily and weekly challenges to complete for prizes on a completely free season pass
-Daily Ops, a repeatable daily operation that changes once a day.
-Daily expedition that gives you a mini-quest to complete for prizes
-Tons of random events! "Main" events, the ones that are free to travel to and give specific prizes at the end are given out every 20 minutes of the hour. So XX:00 XX:20 and XX:40 on the clock. "Side" events are handed out at complete random and at any time. They still have prizes for completion but cost the standard travelling cost to go to them and have weaker rewards.
-Daily quests, a small quest that gives specific prizes for completion
-Hundreds of interesting and unique map locations
-Hundreds of thousands if not millions of different builds to try out, each with their own advantages and disadvantages
-Thousands of cosmetics to tailor your character and home-base to your personal preference
-An extremely robust home-base (CAMP) building system to make the home of your dreams in the wasteland

And if you choose to buy the entirely optional subscription:

-A private world that works exactly like the main game, but you can play alone or with friends
-A custom world that is isolated away from the main game, but allows you to customize the rules to your liking. Your character's progress in custom worlds STAYS in custom worlds. That means going back to the custom world will have all the progess you made previously but it will not appear in the public or private world. Its been said by the devs that eventually mods will also be supported, but take that with a grain of salt
-Additional boosts in the season pass
-A survival tent that you can place almost anywhere in the map. It becomes another free fast travel location as well as a place to quickly dump your items into when you are getting full on storage
-A scrapbox that has infinite storage capacity. Store all the junk and scrap items here!

All-in-all, the Microsoft buyout seems to have been a very positive thing for the game and I expect that things will only get better from here now that another dev team has joined hands with Beth to continue working on this game even 4 years after launch.

The game can essentially be boiled down to:

Go to location
Kill enemies at location
Pick up object and put it somewhere else, or push button
Rinse and repeat until "Mission Cleared" shows on screen


The 2 things that used to keep this game together, its lore and its balance, are both completely lost with its move to Free-To-Play. The missions are presented entirely out of order with no real way of knowing the correct order. Nothing is explained very well, despite hours of hand holding. Pathfinding has gotten worse over the years (marker for next mission objective will occasionally fight you, telling you to go to Room A, then told Room B, then Room A again over and over until you accidently find that Room C was where it wanted you all along. Pathfinding issues also extend to enemies just flying at 3000MP/h because it couldnt find a good route to where it wanted to go so it just warped there instead).

The concept of Destiny 2 before it went F2P was that you and everyone else on the entire galaxy who wasnt Gaul had lost all their powers. The entire main campaign is set around this comeback story to save humanity. After F2P, you start with near max power and the campaign doesnt work around that. You have nothing to work towards because you are already powerful. Due to how weapons are randomly rolled, theres not that one "killer weapon" to chase after anymore either. Now its just about doing the exact same strike or raid over and over, getting the exact same weapon, only hoping it rolled SLIGHTLY better than last time. Its insane. The activities like forge are completely dead because theres no point anymore.


If you like doing the exact same mission 20 times a day to get slightly better loot, this game is for you. If you like a game with a decent story, a good balance, something to work towards, or just fun gameplay loop; look elsewhere.
