Ghost Recon Future Soldier is a excelent tactic shooter, being a complete experience of playing as a Spec Ops soldier. I think it'sa good game despite its flaws.

The story takes place in a "futuristic" 2024 (yeah, last year and we still don't see most of the gadgets that appeared in the game), when a group of special soldiers is taken down by a bomb during a mission in Nicaragua. The Ghost Recon team "Hunter" takes the mission to find out who fabricated the bomb and take out the criminal association Raven's Rock. Despite being a cliché plot (U.S.A good guys, Russia bad guys) and the main protagonists being zero charismatic (except for Kozak), the game gives great and epic missions just like the solo assault to the Siberian prison or the final mission chasing and killing every Raven's Rock member.

What I loved the most of the game is the gameplay. Contrary to other third-person-shooter games, you can choose the way you want to take on the mission: brutally asaulting or in a more stealthy and tactical way. I loved many mechanics such as the War Hound or the hability to order your teammates which targets to take down or doing it at the same time. The best part of Future Soldier, no doubt.

I must say that for a game released back in 2012 (Xbox 360 and PS3 era), it aged perfectly. The visuals still being impressive with details everywhere.

And the soundtrack is truly epic, with a good voice acting for every character. Once again, the voice actor for Kozak is great, not sounding cheesy when he speaks Russian.

The game costs 15€ more or less. Knowing that online services were shut down last year and that the story is long enough for a weekend marathon, I'd suggest to rather buy it during sales, whenthe price drops to less than 4€.

A classic but timeless game, Ghost Recon Future Soldier leaves a good taste when you try it. I won't say is the best game from the series, but for sure a must-play once in a lifetime

I swear that Age of Empires 2 is, if not already the best, one of the best RTS games ever made. And thanks to Xbox Studios you can enjoy almost forever this piece of art.

There are many stories to play of legendary kings, knights, warriors and emperors who defined history in the past: El Cid Campeador, Joane de Arc, William Wallace, Tariq, Sforza... there are a lot of Medieval campaigns enjoyable and with great scenarios.

I'm sure that you will find a magnificent gameplay, being way more developed and huge than the first Age of Empires. Now you can prepare tactics for your army, search more ways to farm resources, upgrade your units to become unstoppable... Basically the definitive Medieval RTS.

I remember playing the classic version long time ago, and seeing the visuals of this version is just like watching art. No joking, the game developers managed to upgrade well the graphics.

Same as the music and voice acting. I love how every campaign's characters have different accents to make it more inmersive. And the OST remastered is a blessing to my ears.

Game might be a little expensive, like 33€ at full price including 3 DLCs: Dawn of the Dukes, Dinasties of India and Lords of the West. During sales the price drops to 11,5€ more or less. I'd say that it's not a big problem paying that much for the game, since you can play for tons of hours. The only problem I see is that Xbox releases more and more DLCs, but in case you love the game I don't see any problem.

I don't have any doubt about why Age of Empires 2 is considered the best RTS ever made. It's the most complete and fun game to spend tons of hours playing and having fun, just like in StarCraft 2. I consider it an essential game to own in your library

I've already played back in the days Tomb Raider 2013 on Xbox 360, but I thought it was a good idea to return to the reboot of the Lara Croft's adventures and one of the best adventures games ever. Well, I must say it turned out to be way better than I remembered.

In this reboot, Lara Croft and her friends get wrecked and land on a misterious Japanese island that keeps a mythological legend. Soon they will find they are not the only people in this island, since the Solarii sect with Father Mathias as their leader also are searching for the mistery involving the goddess Himiko. The game sometimes feels too long, but yet it tells a great story with charismatic characters.

But what's the best about the reboot? The gameplay. Now Lara feels more like not just an explorer but a hunter and brutal assassin too. The puzzles aren't so hard and the combat is satisfactory, having multiple options to survive against the enemies the game throws at you.

And visually the game looks stunning, even 12 years later. I remember the Xbox 360 version already looking good, but the PC version... oh boy, I love it.

Maybe the worst part of the game is the multiplayer mode, since it's dead (btw, in case anyone wants to get the achievements I can play, since I'm also trying to complete them) and it's just a copy-paste of the Uncharted's multiplayer mode. Just a one team vs other team.

The lowest price you can pay for the game is around 3€. Does it worth it? Sure, but how about at full price? I guess also it worths every cent, since it's a long game that can give you many hours of story, free roaming the map searching for the collectibles and completing the achievements. The only handicap I see is that after you 100%'ed the singleplayer mode there is not much left to do. Like I said, multiplayer mode is just dead.

If you want to try a good adventure game with good visuals, story, gameplay and that will leave you a good experience, play Tomb Raider 2013. It just worths every minute you play it

An underrated gem from Ubisoft that, despite its flaws, I must say it's addicting and fun to play. The Division brings a game that if it's not a 10/10, it's a 7,5 or 8/10.

Instead of playing as soldiers or police, in The Division you play as an agent who tries to find answers about the infestation of a virus that destroyed New York. During the search for culprits and helpers, you will fight criminals and bands trying to set chaos in Manhattan.

I think the gameplay is what makes this game fun, even if it's kind of broken. I love how playing with your characters feels realistic, but I hate how enemies are broken. Like, since when can a normal dude take many shots, even in the head? I guess Ubisoft tried to give a challenge instead of turning the game into a boring ride.

I have to say that visually aged like a good fine wine. It's a game from 2016, released for PS4 and Xbox One, and yet it looks clean, beautiful and it represents perfectly the scenario of a apocalyptic New York.

The voice acting is good. Not perfect nor disgusting.

I consider the game has a decent price. It gives you tons of hours of gameplay yet when you finish the main story it can get repetitive. Still, there is a PvP mode and co-op mode that might give you more hours of fun. If the 30€ don't convince you to buy it, during sales the price drops to 4,5€, a more decent price IMO.

If you want a game to play with friends for hours, The Division is made for you. If you want to try a different Tom Clancy game, The Division is made for you. And if you are looking for a game to spend hours and hours of gaming, The Division is made for you

Just Cause is one of that games that tried to follow the GTA formula and managed to make a good game. Might be repetitive since it's kind of "primitive" but that doesn't mean it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.

So you play as Rico Rodríguez, an agent from the CIA with the mission to liberate San Esperito, a Latin-American country under the rule of dictator Salvador Mendoza. With the help of the guerrilla and the La Roja cartel, Rico will liberate each part of the country from the corrupt goverment.

The game feels clunky after 19 years, but it's still playable. You have the same mechanics of the GTA games but with an extra of a hook and parachute, helping you reach vehicles and places.

I have to say that visually it aged like milk. It's a game that was released in the last years of the PS2/Xbox and early years of the Xbox 360, but the characters and vehicles look like those Chinese toys made out of cheap plastic. Still, the scenarios look beautiful.

The voice acting is kind of ass, but the soundtrack is just enjoyable.

7€ for the game feels expensive. Don't get me wrong, you can get tons of hours of gameplay since the game has a huge map and hundreds of missions, but yet if you don't enioy it 100% you might feel you just wasted money. During sales the game costs less than 1€, so I'd recommend you buying it for that price instead of full price.

Might be the nostalgia of playing this on the Xbox 360 back in other ages or that I loved Just Cause 2, but I think this game deserves a good opinion. Plus I consider Square Enix might win money if they remade this game

This was the game that started one of the most underrated yet fun and original games ever. So why do I not recommend it? Well, I'd say that it's really outdated after every game that came after made good improvements and more dynamic game.

So you play as a team of 4 worms, and your goal is to eliminate the enemy teams using different weapons such as bazookas, grenates or missiles. That's it. And as I said, the game feel too clunky after playing Armageddon, W.M.D or World Party.

Visually I'd say it's mediocre. The scenarios look good for a 30 years old game, but the characters look like someone designed them with Paint.

The music is nostalgic, I can't say anything bad about same. Same for the voices of the worms.

I don't think it worths paying 6€ for the game, since you have limited content compared to newer games. During sales the price drops to 1,5€. If you don't have problems paying that for a game to play alone it's OK, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I won't trash talk about a game that defined a franchise that marked my childhood, but I'd say it's difficult to enjoy it when the newer games are more complete and friendly with new gamers

The Doomguy said: "it's Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil'ing time". And everybody Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil'ed while crying of emotion.

Compared to the first Fallout game, I personally enjoyed this one way more. And yes, I don't think it aged perfectly but it's still playable after many years. I know it sounds hypocritical when I said that the first game aged horribly, but I'd say the sequel makes easier to learn how to play.

So you play as the long descendant of the Vault Dweller, the same hero of the first game whowas kicked to the Wasteland after defeating the Master and saving Vault 13. You start in a tribe in Arroyo, in Northern California. Your mission? To find the Garden of Eden Creation Kit (G.E.C.K) to save Arroyo from radiation and to stop the evil Enclave, the remnants of the U.S.A goverment after the bombs dropped. I'd say it's more fun than the first game's plot as a personal opinion.

And here comes the most hated part: gameplay. As I said, it aged badly, since the game is from 1998 and it doesn't come with tutorial (and as a personal taste, I hate turn-based games), but I consider it more familiar for new players. You don't start already in a hard enviroment, but in a place that guides you with the mechanics to understand how to play.

Visually I can't say too much: the graphics are the same of the previous game with a decent style but creepy faces.

And the same for the voice acting, OST and sound effects.

I think 10€ might be a fair price since the game is way more long than the first Fallout, but if you want it for less price on sales it costs 2,5€.

So, I truly recommend Fallout 2 over Fallout 1, since if you want to start with the franchise and want to play the classic games (those before Bethesda bought the franchise and made Fallout 3) I find it easier to learn and enjoy

I've heard this game back then had very divided opinions: on one hand it was considered a good and original reboot for Doom, but on the other hand people criticized it and considered the worst Doom of all. It is the worst Doom? I wouldn't say that. Maybe the "most different Doom", but it's not a trash game.

Typical Doom plot: you play as the Doomguy, a marine sent to Mars where the UAC experiments and develops technology. However, this experiments lead to the instalations turning into hell, where demons attack the scientists and soldiers in the base. Just like the original Doom game.

Now, instead of shooting and killing rapidly, the game turns more paused and slow, adding horror elements. And this is the part that people criticized: it gives a different experience but not just like the classic Doom games. Personally I enjoyed it, despite expecting more frenetic violence.

Visually I have to say it aged... mediocrely. It uses the same engine as Quake 4, a game released a year later but with better visuals. I feel the models and scenario look like plastic toys.

Instead of a metal-based soundtrack, in Doom 3 iD Software used a more horror-based OST, just like a movie. Gives more inmersion to the game, but I understand that many players didn't approved this coming from games with rock and heavy metal songs playing on the background while destroying zombies and demons.

Sadly the game is not avaiable any more on Steam, but you have the BFG (remastered) Edition, which I will play and leave review about it.

So, should you play it? Depends on what are you expecting. If you expect a frenetic shooter like the previous Doom games, you might get dissapointed. If you are expecting a good shooter with a horror ambience then you might get delighted

A very relaxing indie game made with true love and dedication. That's how I'd describe Retrowave. If you are wondering if you should buy it, well... I'd totally recommend it.

There are 4 main modes to play plus a multiplayer mode. Of course, you can choose whatever dificulty fits you better, having even a peaceful mode if you want to chill listening to vaporwave music in a scenario inspired in the 80's aesthetic. And what's the best part? The vehicles, since you can play with mythical cars from the 70's-80's such as the famous DeLorean or the Toyota AE86.

I don't have words to talk about how it looks visually. Hell, even at the lowest settings it feels cozy and satistying to see. But ot course, the better the settings the more enjoyable it becomes.

And obviously the music is vaporwave and retrowave, thus the name and thematic of the game. There are many recognizable songs of the genre, making the rides more relaxing while you dodge cars on the road.

You can see it's an indie game since the devs thought of a reasonable price: 3€. I consider it really fair, since it's a "little game" that can give you tons of hours of gameplay. If you think that the full price is too expensive, on sales it costs less than 1€. That's up to you if you decide to buy it during sales or for full price, but I'd say that this is one of the cases where paying full price for the game doesn't feel like being robbed.

So, if you love the vaporwave and retrowave aesthetic, want to play a game to inmerse in that feeling and relax your mind, Retrowave is the perfect option for you
