Don't even bother and play PoE2 instead.

Story: 7.5/10
This game's campaign is epic and keeps its players in the mood for Warhammer 40K. The plot of the story is linear. The storyline follows the familiar trope of Titus and his squadmates, Gadriel and Chairon, going through missions to save the world. However, it pulls off a riveting storyline. In the campaign, there is an option for a wide variety of guns and grenades, while the abilities of the characters are pre-set and unchangeable, limiting the options that are available to customize.

Graphics: 9/10
Graphically, this game is a looker: great details of environments, smooth performance without any stuttering or lagging issues. That is actually what helps enjoy every moment of it.

Optimization: 8.5/10
The performance is great, and it runs smoothly on many systems. Optimization is great to provide an enjoyable experience without technical issues that might disturb the player. Maybe some frame drops when ♥♥♥♥ hits the fan, but other than that, the game runs very smooth.

Combat Mechanics: 8/10
The combat is dynamic, satisfying, with brutal executions, responsive parry and dodge system, and impactful counterattacks. Some players may find the default keybindings a bit unconventional, such as middle mouse for aiming, right-click for melee, and "C" for blocking, which could be a bit of an adjustment.

Progression System: 7.5/10
Progression is only available in multiplayer modes, since there isn't a character development system in the campaign. That's a big letdown for those who love character development throughout a single-player campaign. In multiplayer, leveling up is well-balanced with meaningful perks to enhance the play. Players will have to make their choices between team buffs and personal perks, adding some good depth to the customization.

Cooperative Modes: 8/10
The mode called Inferno Operations provides a parallel storyline, where one performs missions parallel to events in the main story. With classes, of course, players can fit in any kind of playstyle. Taking the sniper class as an instance, it has two sniper rifles: the Bolt Sniper and the Las Fusil, and one scoped rifle, the Stalker Bolter. On the other hand, monetization-forces players to grind for DLC sets after buying it, something that gets really discouraging.

PvP Mode: 4/10
Competitive Multiplayer has been extremely divisive for Space Marine 2. Some players have expressed that the 6v6 modes are liked by a few but feel very imbalanced and outdated to others. The melee, for one thing, feels clunky due to how limited it is when it comes to blocking and dodging. Without server selection, ping will sometimes be inconsistent and will connect to a server very far away from your location. I find it a bit unbalanced, but more importantly, PvP is a lot of work to get into; polish for when-but at least it's worth trying for people interested or with just a simple appeal to setting.

Overall: 8.5/10
Overall this game looks and feels really great visually and in terms of action. The campaign is enjoyable to go through, having great combat and atmosphere, while lacking any real progression and very limited character customization. Multiplayer modes add some variety, though some design choices and monetization aspects could be better. Even with these issues, the game is a solid choice for both franchise fans and action in general.

Alright, let's dive deep into one of the greatest and arguably the godfather of all action RPGs: Path of Exile 2.

Story: 4/10
The storyline in Path of Exile 2 isn't anything great. It's just something there so you may have some kind of explanation for fighting monsters. Most often, one would just let it be and enjoy the game play - since that matters most here. You will utterly be disappointed in this game if you're on a story power trip.

Graphics: 8.5/10
It really looks great. Dark and detailed environments, incredible spell effects-the atmosphere of every area is gloomy and pulls you in. Animations are smooth, and everything feels polished visually. If your PC can handle it, it's a treat for the eyes.

Optimization: 6/10
Performance is an issue right now. I've had multiple crashes at random moments, be it during boss fights, loading screens, or just running around. It's frustrating, especially when you're deep into a fight. Hopefully, the developers fix this soon, as it really breaks the flow of the game. We will have to wait for the full release to make the final decision here.

Progression System: 9/10
Amazing progression system in PoE2, giant skill tree with huge customization options, and this gem system is just fantastic, adding a whole another level to it. Will definitely be overwhelming at first, but when one gets used to it, it is incredibly satisfying. You will always have something you'd like to change or work on, so it feels fresh.

Combat Mechanics: 10/10
It's far and away the best part of this game. Currently, I am maining the Infernalist, an Ascendancy class of the Witch. The combos of spells are amazing, really. You commit to one element as an Infernalist, and mine is fire. The synergies between AoE Spells, Minions, and Fire Resistance reduction AoE are incredible. So dynamic in combat. You can set everything on fire, summon minions to do your bidding, and debuff enemies to melt them even faster. Adding in the dodge roll really changes the pace of combat; you're not just standing there, spamming abilities, you're moving around, dodging attacks, and repositioning to deal damage. It makes every fight way more skill-based and keeps you on your toes. Abilities hit hard, and controls feel tight and responsive so that when you land a big spell or pull off a perfect combo, it feels incredibly satisfying. Clearing mobs or going toe-to-toe with bosses, every fight feels like an engaging and rewarding fight.

Grinding: 8/10
It's a huge part of the game, and it's done well. It feels really rewarding to find just the right item, even when RNG can sometimes drive you crazy. Hence, you need to grind for crafting and upgrading materials a lot since you will lose a lot of your lovely gear to RNG system :(. But still, you will find a +8/10 gear eventually and make your dream build with it. So, the grinding system for me is a solid 8/10. It's great but still needs a bit of work and might change drastically after full game release.

Endgame Content: 7/10
Once you complete the campaign, PoE2 boasts a huge and challenging endgame. Maps are classified into 16 tiers; the difficulty scales up real fast as you progress, where enemies become more formidable in every way, including higher elemental resistances. And this means you will continually be upgrading your own resistances to keep up. But here’s the frustrating part : while enemies gain resistances, your character's elemental resistances are often drastically reduced, making it harder to survive in the later tiers. It's one of those mechanics that feels more like an artificial difficulty spike than an interesting challenge. You’re essentially forced into tweaking your gear constantly just to survive in higher-tier maps, which can be pretty annoying. You spend a lot of time dealing with this imbalance, and it feels like it just adds unnecessary grind rather than strategic depth.
Besides the maps, significant endgame content is provided by the Trials of Chaos and Sekhemas. You only need to complete four rooms in the Trials of Chaos to get the Ascendancy points, but you can challenge yourself even more by going up to room 10, which is true endgame content. These trials are made for up to six players, making sure it's a very cooperative experience, really putting to the test your skills and teamwork. Difficulty ramps up significantly, but the rewards are quite worth the effort, therefore making this aspect of the game both exciting and challenging.

Overall Score: 9/10
PoE2 is an excellent ARPG. The combat feels amazing, the progression system is deep, and the grind is addictive. The crashes and weak story do hold it back a bit, but its still a great experience overall. The full release will likely improve the game further, especially with better optimization and possibly some tweaks to the endgame. If you're willing to push through some rough edges for now, it's definitely worth playing. We’ll have to wait until the full release to see how much it improves, but for early access, it’s already very promising.

Ugh...

Best gaming experience I've ever had in my life until %98 completion. The last %2 including the "Dutchesses and other animals" and the "Wildlife art exhibition" quests which both are definitions of pain in the a$$. Although, despite the sufferings, my passion and love for this game prevailed.
Also please add Tahiti as an explorable area to the game map.
Thank you Rockstar for this amazing experience!

Best friend I had since my time in kindergarten.
Also please add cat ears as an option and a femboy character model.

Great game if you like boobs. Definitely not recommended if you are claustrophobic!

Great game, But make sure you have an extra pair of underwears and pants ready before playing!

If you don't ROCK AND STONE you ain't comin' home...

YES! I CAN FINALLY EXPRESS MY TRUE FEELINGS BECAUSE IM AUTISTIC AND I CAN'T SPEAK IN A GROUP CHAT!!!
