pay day 2: the heist \m/

doom will always be halo, but infinite will never be eternal.

One of my top 3 favorite FromSoft games, fight me.

This story is incredible, and it makes every other aspect of the game so much better. There's so much at stake, so much raw emotion, and such an incredibly dissonant tone that it's hard not to fall in love with this game. There are no throwaway missions or story arcs, and in fact no wasted lines of dialogue. Everything is perfect. Plus, there are 3 different endings, each of which change how some story missions play out, to where each playthrough truly feels like a new playthrough.

The worst part of this game is that it's just a little short, especially for a FromSoft game, but that just makes me want more.

So no one's gonna say the story is a bad rip-off of Control? Just me??

Even if you look past all the obviously borrowed components of the game (the title is even stolen from a 2014 metal band), this is still a decently absorbing survival crafter to play with friends, but there's just not a lot of content and not a lot of replayability. In fact, I suspect the ONLY reason the wipes are 6 weeks long is because the devs recognize just how little content they have.

Sure, there's tons of ways to craft and beat your neighbors, but once you hit max level, the game is essentially over. If you want, you can farm bosses and silos for better mods, but for what? So you can beat your neighbors quicker with no game-changing rewards? So you can run through the same soulless boss fights on Hard/Pro? Couple that with forgettable lore, and you're left with just about nothing to make you want to sink more hours into the game.

I would much rather pay money to play the games that this rips off than keep getting my hopes up for free-to-play clones like this.

The 2nd dark souls game ever.

best fromsoft game ever, prove me wrong

YES! YES! FASTER! STRONGER! SEXIER! MULLETIER! HOTLINE MIAMI x DOOM! NONSTOP SYNTHWASHED ROBOT VIOLENCE! YES! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS YES!!!

A frustratingly beautiful game that punishes you for loving it, The Banner Saga is a fantastic balance of turn-based strategy and resource management, and one of the few games I've played that can truly carry the "choices-matter" tag. The bleak, nigh-apocalyptic setting is perfectly matched by the brutal gameplay, with a vastly branching storyline that carries over into 2 other amazing sequels.

True, it can move a little slow at times, but the pace is constantly reinforced by the storyline, and once you realize that this game wants you to let your guard down, you'll cherish those slow moments that always preclude disaster.

There are few bad things I can say about this game, except that it's a commitment.

The only rougelite that has 8x10⁶⁷+ ways to play. Endlessly fun.
