good but long

Incredible game play, enough to justify it's measly 10 dollar price tag. The game is full of whimsical elements, building, exploration, combat, farms, pretty much everything you can want in an open-world survival game. Progression in the game has you looking back and saying "Wow, I felt really powerful after that boss!". Afterwards, you realize that you aren't even prepared for the next boss. This magic is never lost, and drives you to get better items and progress farther in the game.
I feel like ANYONE can pick up Terraria and have an enjoyable time with it. Terraria is a staple in the gaming-industry, a leading standard for its genre. Everyone should be able to make fun memories with or even without friends in such an amazing game.

Re-Logic has definitely poured their hearts out into this game, and it's really representative of the 10 years of work they have put into this project.
Thank you, Re-Logic, here's to another in the future!

CS:GO is a timeless classic, one not affected by time. The 9 year old game still kicks strong with its bolstering community and widespread skin market. The pro scene is the oldest and has paved ways for newer games to take example from the prestige the CS competitive scene has seen. But certain things make it hard to recommend for a casual player...

The Good:
-Refined gun-play system
-Possibility of going pro/semi-pro is achievable through outside means
-Games competitiveness (out of silver) is a positive way for people to grow and refine their skills
-Skin Market is probably one of the best in any game I've played. Being able to sell/buy skins from other players is a better alternative to many other approaches to skin, the ability to trade also really pushes this system forward

The Bad
-Casual play is not promoted. Many people find enjoyment with casual gun-play, but CS's movement and firing systems are not suited for the most casual of gamers, but if you put enough time into the game it's not hard to learn these things.
-Cheating and Smurfs are unavoidable in many FPS games, however Valve's system to approaching this (through Prime Status) was quite lackluster, however recent update makes it so you have to pay for Prime to be able to compete in the Competitive Game-Mood (AN EXTREMELY GOOD CHANGE, as many cheaters/smurfs are able to grind accounts to level 21 and receive prime status to play with normal players). Cheaters are demoralizing from both casual and competitive play, and sometimes feels like Valve doesn't do much in the way of stopping them.
-Match-Making system is not good and incredibly tedious to rank up. I've found myself on win-streaks, then loosing one game and dropping down a rank. Valve needs change this elo-system as it's very miss-representative of skill rating and more based on a "play more to get a better rank".
-The worst part of the game is the developer team behind it. Valve is very uncommunicative with its player-base, normally pushing out updates without consideration from the Community. This can lead to updates negatively affecting game play, the market, and even the competitive scene. Especially now-a-days, they are actively competing with Valorant so many changes they have made are very reminiscent of Valorant's. These changes come abruptly without any patch notes before hand, leading to it majorly affecting parts of the community. (buy for others system and unranked/ranked slider)

Overall, the game has good strengths, is a classic in the FPS scene, and is definitely worth picking up to see what many people enjoy about the game itself. However I can't recommend it to someone who doesn't enjoy FPS games as the main driving force behind the players of the game is the strive to get better, and usually this requires hours upon hours of dedication. I would make this review a maybe, but steams binary review system is unable to portray this. Casual gamers normally push the forefront for the success of a game, but if it's hard to do so then many are neglected by the developers themself. Valorant does a good job at doing this, which valve definitely needs to start doing if they wish to keep their large player base. Will the game die? Definitely not, as the pro scene and skin market are the main driving points behind it, but it will struggle.
If you are a person that's willing to dedicate their time into improving themselves as a player, or just someone casual who wants an FPS game to play with friends (as I wouldn't recommend it solo-casually) then this is the game for you.

Destiny and its ever-evolving story and game-play makes it one of the most interesting-games I have played. The story is rich and lore and story and the game-play is fairly satisfying in the terms of an FPS. HOWEVER, the biggest problem that I found while thinking if I should recommend this game is the free-to-play aspect, as many aren't willing to spend 100$+ on additional content. To preface, I don't recommend this to new-players.

The best part of the game is the community and the openness of the developers. I will say this without hesitation, Bungie is the best company that has been completely vocal with their community while also taking criticism backed behind community made concerns. The game has its bugs, but Bungie is fairly fast to fix certain issues, however some are fairly game-breaking and normally given no attention for months. Whether it regards game-play or quest aspects.

The music and sound design of the game is extremely good. Part of which I feel comes from the music teams past work in Halo. Michael Salvatori and his team never fail to disapoint. 9/10

The story-telling in the game has improved greatly. Recently the story of the game has been getting better exponentially, previously the story-telling had been poor and the real direction of the story had been misconstrued due to unrelated seasonal content. With the past 4 seasons they have all played really well off of each other and continue the narrative of the main-arch exceptionally well.
PVE content is a great focus for the game, however some aspects feel slow and way to grindy for a casual gamer. To get what you want, it requires you to put time into certain activities, some that can lock you out of gaining items for a week or an incredibly hard activity that you might not be accustomed too.
PVP is seriously neglected. As it's a free-to-play game, all of PVP content is also free-to-play, cheaters are a problem in the highest levels of play. Players are too focused on PVP as-well, I personally believe there is no reason to sweat the game. RNG, stasis, abilities, exotics, legendary weapon rolls, etc. can shift gunfights greatly and serve many benefits that others don't have. Sub-classes are locked out from you if you don't have a certain DLC, sometimes these sub-classes are incredibly broken and can ruin the casual play of PVP. (also kind of ironic, as I have went flawless twice before, but that was before stasis was a thing)

Over half a year ago, the developers at Bungie, in an effort to accommodate the expanding story and yearly DLC, had removed around 70% of free to play story, items, and activities. Today, the problem is alleviated with the release of certain raid/dungeon content.
Currently, I do not believe it is in the best interest of anyone to want to get into the game without dropping money on the DLC's and maybe even seasonal content. The player base loves to focus on the new of the game, and many older activities and content are normally cast-aside while the new is praised. There should be more free-to-play content then DLC content, but Bungie seems like its more focused on making extra content that forwards the game itself and focusing on the players who were willing to spend cash on the newest content.

It's ironic to see someone with over 2000 hours in the game not recommend it, I love this game and it's fun to put my time into, but the game is still not in a good state for a new player to hop into the vastness of the MMOFPS. I recommend this game but don't at the same time. If I were looking at this game from an unbiased point, I don't feel as if the game is worth the time to learn about the story or become a chad in either PVP/PVE, considering a lot of PVE/STORY is locked behind a paywall.

Summary: If you like the Destiny franchise and are willing to delve all your time into a big game, then get the game! However, be warned that many of it is locked behind the giant 100$+ paywall and that the free to play experience is very poor in the aspects of a large MMO
