The Outlast Trials is the third installment in the Outlast series. It is for sure the most ambitious one, presenting the players with many new challenges, features and possibilities, while retaining the classic features you would expect from an Outlast game. The biggest change is of course, that now you are able to team up with up to three other players to take on the horror with you. When I first heard about this, I have to say, I was quite skeptical, but after playing it, I must say it worked out pretty well. You can go trough the game solo as well, but it´s really obvious that the levels are made for co-op and playing it alone just isn´t that much fun and playing on harder difficulties alone is really frustrating and almost impossible. You can also queue up with randoms, but we all know how that goes. The levels are called the trials (surprisingly) and each of them has one main long level + 2 shorter ones and 2 harder versions of the main mission (more enemies, more traps etc.). Every time you load up a trial the items, enemies and quests spawn in different locations which combined with the different difficulties of trials gives the players a big chance of replayability with the same trials being at least a bit different every time. This is for me the best change from the previous games, which you would play through once or twice and be done with them. The next big change is that now you have way more things and gadgets you can carry and use. This allows you to go through the trials using very different tactics and styles very time, which again compliments the replayability of the trials. Throughout the game you level up and unlock or acquire new skills, gadgets and abilities which give also more variety to approach the trials. There are also quite a few customization options for your character, but I would say that is a standard nowadays for any game. For people who are story iriented, you can pick up documents with backstory and people who aren´t bothered by the story won´t be presented with it at all. The game is currently in early-access, so the devs can still work on the game while receiving feedback from the players. This was a great idea in my opinion, because the devs presented us with a base for the game and we, the community, can now transfer that in what we would want from it. It receives quite a lot of updates including new trials and various changes to the game, so there is always something new for the players to return to the game for. The graphics are quite nice, but also not too challenging, so I think you should be able to run it even on lower-end pcs. So to sum it up, I would say The Outlast Trials is a really good game with lots of new features and a much longers life span than its predecesors, but I would only reccomend it if you have friends to play with. 8/10

Cars go brrr

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a 5v5 competitive fps. Right now I would say it is probably the most balanced competitive shooter out there. The mechanics of the game aren't really easy to learn and to understand the game as a whole is even harder so it's great fun to see yourself how you develop as a player throughout the time. The graphics are simple but acceptable, since they play a minor role in the whole game. The new big feature that previous versions of the game didn't have are the weapon skins. You can earn them mostly by opening cases that you get by simply playing the game, it only has one disadvantage, yep, it costs money. Even tho they give you only a visual change I don't know anyone who doesn't have any. The last but not least is the pro scene, which has developed so much since the release of the game. There are tournaments almost every week and the variaty of teams is really big and you never know who's going to win. It is highly competitive and really fun to watch. Overall this game is really good, the only thing that ruins it is sadly the community and hackers that you can get matched with/against. Despite the disadvantages I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys playing FPS. 10/10
