I'm really just writing this for the Nomination Event -- to which I feel this game deserves. They just don't make good games anymore, not like they used to, and for this to be made is a miracle.

.

This game will either win you or lose you. Build you up or destroy you. Love you, or in my case, hate you. The Division is a well rounded game with many glitches that will make you want to break something depending on your ping. Despite the noticable downgrade between trailers from 2013 to now, the game still looks rather good. The game's mechanics are downright unforgiving if you don't know what you're doing, other than that, they're pretty solid. It offers many playstyles to choose from as well as interesting ways to make you want to kill your self.

If you want a fun game to play with friends, then I recommend this.

If you want a game to play solo, then I recommend something that's more story driven. Like Deponia.

It's pretty solid. I never played much of the original one but since I got this for free... why wouldn't I just give it a shot? I find that what they updated to be well done and well optimized for the light shafts and the volumetic clouds. The Foliage is pretty lushious as well making the ground pretty to look at. I haven't gotten far in the story yet, but by 3-4ish hours I wouldn't expect to be that far into it. I recommend buying it, just not at full price. One thing I do wish they fixed were the character's blocky hair. Looks hideous in my opinion.

Please, no more! Am I the only one that dies from NPCs that SHOULDN'T KILL YOU? That happened more than 24 times throughout my game. I would be looking at a box and the NPC talking to me would walk to where I am and kill me somehow. That's just one problem I had with the game. It's buggy (could be a good or bad thing, in some cases it was good since we could drive the truck in areas not intended for it which saved some time.) and boring (only interesting with a friend but the bugs come in to destory your game. Plus it's only interesting for about 2-3 hrs because of how rediculously bad this game is.). I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, that's how bad this is. Many say it's great, but, from my experience, it's a chore to push through.
The performance... oh, how I hate the perfromance in this game. I've played the Demo to Dying Light... it looks better and has better performance on 1440p native than this trash heap of a game. I have a GTX 970 (soon to be 1070) with an i5 3330 (it does not bottleneck) and the performance on this game is laughable. I can run Dying Light almost maxed out at a stable 55-60 fps at 1440p, however THIS game, oh, man, this game hates 60 fps. The second section where you go to the church, say Bye-bye frame rate cause you won't be seeing that much.
My Final Verdict for this game is an astounding 4/10. +1 for effort, so a 5/10. The story is not enough to keep this game going, and even though I uninstalled this game, I can still hear the girl in the bamboo building saying "I'm thirsty, do you have any water?" when there's energy drinks ALL around her in the room as well as bottles of water.

Lego The Hobbit. As a person who has never seen the movies, nor read the books, I can say this is pretty decent. It adds a few game mechanics that I haven't seen before (Though they might be in the Lego Lord of the Rings. I haven't gotten far in that game because I played it right after this one and this game has scarred me with some of these mechanics.) The mechanics that they add can be good or bad, depending on how you are. To me most were bad. Some examples were crafting the Mithril Weapons in order to get the Red Bricks. It was mostly a hastle that I never want to do again. Same with all the side quests. The world is pretty big as well so I'm thankful they added Fast Travel. There are some Game Crashes that you can't really avoid, well, for me I experienced roughly 14 crashes. Some were while I was doing a side quest and others were right after the game had saved (thankfully.. oh my goodness.. I would have been pissed if it didn't.). I have 100% of all the achievements and it roughly took 40 hrs so you get your moneys worth. There is 1 achievement I wanted to destroy my computer over and that's the Team Sharing.. or something like that where you have to use all 13 Dwarfs in Thorins (I think) company in a buddy-up attack. It took me over 1 hr to do this stupid achievement because it wouldn't register I did them all till like the 16th try.

*note
I have a Gtx 970, i5 3330 processor, and 1 TB internal and external memory. Running at 1440p native, this game never dropped below 60 with v-sync with just the game running. (I was watching some Tv shows on my other monitor while I was doing the side quests because this game becomes really boring after you're done and it had some lag spikes... well, alot of them..).

If you're looking for a Lego game to play and if you like LotR, I guess go ahead and get this. Though, I did hear that they cut out the 3rd Hobbit movie from this game (The game can be beat in about 8-10 hrs story wise if you don't rush) so it may be a turnoff for those who are looking for a full Lego the Hobbit experience.

All in all, I give it a 7/10.

The game is simple. Kill Dinos, Level Up, Make Friends, and the process continues. It is by far better than Orion: Prelude, which, I enjoyed at the start, but became a chore to even play... anyways... I do agree that it is the best game for a dollar (without better games being on sale for a dollar).

Gameplay, it's simple, but takes some getting used too. If you need help on somethings, the community guides whould help you.

Same goes for Graphics. Though, for a $1 game, it looks great. They chose a good engine this time to build their game in, and if you have any performance issues, the guides will help. (I'm running it at 1440p, mixed graphics settings, and it runs fine on a gtx 970 (I have a terrible processer, i5 3330 which is my main issue in most games))

Multiplayer servers, they're not the best. They do seem to rise quite a lot from a solid 80 straight up to 500 for a couple of seconds. It can suck to play sometimes with this issue, but it's to be expected for their first fully online game.

The community is great, well, except for this one guy... he called be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (I didn't think anyone would've known!!!) ... but that's about it.

There are some cons about this game, but hey, they gotta make some money somehow. It has microtransactions so you can unlock things faster, but it's not necessary. Also, I read that they're going to be building a yearly campaign, but it will cost a subscription fee or something like that.

All in all, I recommend this gem for a dollar. It's fun, but unforgiving if you play on some harder difficulties by yourself.

Fyi, DON'T use the assault rifle when you first start out, it sucks. Use the second loadout which has a shotgun.. extremely OP.

This is a very interesting formula. It's simple, calming, and enjoyable. It reminds me of A story about my Uncle a little bit. (which is one of my favorite games that I own on pc)
However, it does glitch sometimes, but since they implemented the warp by WiFi, it doesn't bother me as much as it should.
Overall, I recommend this game for a great and relaxing time.

Absolute trash. Terrible optimization, I run with a GTX 970, i5-3330, 8gb ram, and even worse than my previous graphics card (GTX 750ti). Terrible AI, zombies notice you 2 miles away and run towards you no matter where the heck you are. Trashy gameplay, nothing to do, and the only thing TO do is run around and spam TAB to open up your inventory and pick up random crap. #TAB SIMULATOR2013-2015!

10/10 ign - Fps lower than the population of Antartica at winter time!

Absolutely astounding.
