Good game, got stomach cramp from the horror.

1) But please don't put a 120 frame rate cap for no reason, Demo doesn't have it.
2) Doesn't have option to rebind keys
3) Don't put a freelook orientation headlamp a delay, it causes motion sickness.

The first 30 seconds of each race determines if you can win or not.

Let's start with the most important aspect of this game, which is the actual puzzle itself in the gameplay.

First of all, the puzzle in this game are purely on-board style like you see in the gameplay, so don't expect any whole body movement kind of puzzle that you see in Portal 1,2 or Talos Principle. And you just run around the town and solve them, there is absolutely no voice chat in this game, no one talks in either voice actor or subtitle, nothing.

Second of all, the puzzle in the early beginning was actually easy, but later on during mid stage the puzzle difficulty didn't turn into harder but turn into somewhat I should say "Bull sht", why? Because the puzzle does not give you any instruction on how to solve it, it did not tell you what is not allowed what is allowed, and it does not give you any clue whatsoever. Yes, I could tell hidden grass on the floor inside a maze implies a no-go, yes I could tell from walking inside the maze where path with watery sound implies a no-go. But how the fk would I know which direction I need to rotate and align and combine and how to manage the space around them for the puzzle that has Tetris blocks in it? How the fk would I know I needed to look through a color'd glass from outside of the greenhouse and which color'd glass to look through to identify the true color of the pigment on the puzzle? This kind of puzzle isn't called "Hard" but is called "Find the needle in the vast ocean bull sht". Another frustrating thing is, the puzzles are connected, meaning that if you can't solve the first one, then the 2nd/3rd/4th/5th will not be unlocked but blacked out and u don't get to fast travel to solve another one and come back to it later, you gonna have to run around like an idiot.

Third, there could be some sort of freedom into this game that will make the game more enjoyable for everyone. Two things that came up in my mind is, to have a mini-map detailing where you are and what the names are for each landmark and after finishing an area, you should unlocked the ability to fast travel, it is very confusing to run around the island without an interactive map, the 2nd thing is the ability to jump, without the ability to jump around, the time you spend into sprinting is extremely boring. The end of gameplay review.

Now, in terms of technical issues of the game, everything is simple, easy graphics, buttons binding setup, auto-save. However, the game is not optimzied, they used this kind of blooming low polygon cartoonish graphics, therefore the game could run up to 400+FPS in many areas, but when you are around some fountain, lake area with running water, your game could go down to ~150 FPS.

Verdict: It's a kind of puzzle game that you could either spend 1 minute to solve or spend a whole week staring at it until you fall asleep and still can't find a clue to solve it. And most of the time when you encounter this, take a step outside of the region and come back to it after, other area could inspire you in the meantime, A.K.A. think outside of the box. Overall as a result, don't buy this game when it's not on sale which is 40 USD, only buy it during a sale which is 10 USD.

tl;dr - For PC version, be expect to deal with modders every single day, every single time, if you are a materialist who wants to have everything but want to play legit, this isn't the right game for you. By legit, I mean financially cheating, not modding in terms of combat advantages for PvP.

Game currently has overall/recent review as "Mixed", I guess that is a fair representation since positive rating is going to be overrated for sure, but not as bad as having a negative rating.

No need to mention the good stuff here as it is very obvious to you, content rich, large map, enormous amount of vehicles with different customization and upgrades, countless ways you can have fun in this game, heist, race, deathmatch, freeroam, griefing. My ways of having fun in this game is racing and there are racing crew out there.

Now, the bad thing for this game,


1) Pay to play yet having a premium business model, every item, every building, every feature, every customization, revolves around GTA$ and therefore it's all about shark card sales, TakeTwo knows people will pay for these items and they exploit this priviledge to the max and push the players to their limit. The recent DLC to this game has proved this is the way they want this game to be. Grind 24/7 or pay up.

2) Forget about customer support regarding anything except shark card purchase problem, comparing to steam support they are actually pretty fast but just because you will not get any legit responses but bot replies.

3) For PC version, modder is a thing that you will encounter every single day, so I suggest you to teach yourself how to make a solo lobby, it is pretty much necessary. It is not worth it to defend your cargos legitimately. Because most of the time, people that dare to pick a fight with you are usually modders themselves, they wouldn't have any problem destroying you. And upon a chance that your business cargo get destroyed by modders with solid evidence in the form of video, R* wouldn't reimburse you because in the TOS it says that selling business cargo has a risk along with it to deal with.

4) Game takes a long time to load, and more importantly, the room entry articulation is poorly coded. If you attempt to join a heist lobby, it doesn't tell you it is full until you fully loaded in the clouds, then it tells you room is full, and then it does not throw you back to the same lobby, it throws you back to a new lobby which takes another 1 minute to load in the sky. All these loading times contribute to slowing you down from making GTA$.

5) Game is not designed to be balanced, don't expect every weapon has its pros/cons, you will always revolve around those few weapons like Combat MG MK2, Heavy Sniper MK2, marksman rifle, RPG, homing missile, sticky bomb, minigun, AP pistol. Same thing for air vehicles, land vehicles, it's always just those fews and you wouldn't know what they are if I tell you their names anyways. So what is it balanced for? Anything new usually will become the new meta, and those will cost you a fortune usually, a.k.a. more shark card sales.

6) Old gen players from PS3/Xbox 360 who migrated their $9999999999 do not get justified, while new gen players who received modded money will get adjusted, ironically some players who play the game legitimately get their money removed as they are flagged as modded money when in fact it was R* themselves enabled a double payout for some game modes, millions of GTA$ was falsely flagged and removed, no ♥♥♥♥ was given to these players but bot replies.

7) Worst thing about this game is, the money making system is built upon a PvP environment in the free roam, it is known that the GTA community is full of shtholes that play the game just to ruin other people's fun. All these money making system such as CEO crates, Import/Export cars, Motorcycle club cocaine/weed/meth/forgerydocument, bunker's cargo, smuggler's cargo, when you sell them in free roam for GTA$, it gives your character red blipping signal all across the whole map and notify every single person the map, they get paid if they destroy/steal your stuff but they only get paid a whooping 4 digits payout. Why is that a bad thing you might ask? Because those products take a long time to be gathered and produced, and when the delivery vehicles that they give you to sell these products are made with cardboard which are easily blown up by anyone that pass by casually. Another thing is, all these money making system were not designed to be solo'd, it is mostly designed towards having 3 people total (you yourself included), if you solo sell these business products, instead of delivering 1 product vehicle when you have 3 ppl, you are going to have to deliver all 3 product vehicles on your own. And by playing together with another 2 persons, you are obligated to help out that 2 persons as well, so in the end you don't actually get the money 3x as fast but still only help to certain degree.

Conclusion: I recommend asking GTA$ money from modders as the method of monetizing in this game is disgusting, if your ways of having fun in this game is by having every single vehicles out there but you just want to play the game legit, this isn't the right game for you because I literally played this game 2000+ hours and I am no where near to be called filthy rich and matter of fact a poor player plus I'm already playing the game in glitched solo lobby with no one coming to me to destroy my business products. If you still insist buying shark cards to feed these curved nose, hands bracing businessman behind the scene, I can't stop you, but I can tell you, you are agreeing and supporting them exploiting the game playerbase. They are not going to fix the bugs and flaws in the game but will further put more and more DLC items with skyscrapper price tag just because of sucking out every penny they could before they bring out the red dead redemption dishes and the whole milking cycle re-begin cuz everyone be like ♥♥♥♥ this game and move onto RDR2 yet they will titled themselves the most successful and one of the highest number of copies sold in the entire gaming industry.

It's currently the 2nd most played game on steam below DOTA 2, so no need to explain further. Bought this game for 7.49 USD, which is relatively cheap compare to other games you see on steam. This game is 100% not pay to win, spending money will only grant you more access to cosmetic items like stickers, music kits, weapon skins. Game runs smooth with soft blooming graphics.

The game is rather easy if you play in casual, but very hard if you play competitive. Game play is pretty balanced, no 100% accurate moveshot bull sht. The game play is a little bit different from other normal FPS out there, because you choose what weapon to buy on the battlefield, you don't choose weapon before you enter the field. You can't keep using the same weapon over and over because this game has an economy system, it is well balanced but some people including me does not like this system that much since I like to equip and use that weapon as I wish. I don't like to be forced to choose certain weapon based on my economy status. But like I said, the system is well balanced, it makes the game a little bit more strategic, mind game and promotes teamwork, helping each other out. Also, this game needs mic to be played effectively in competitive matches, or people will get mad at you for not co-operating.

Regarding the community, it is the same thing as you see on other video games, only kids, teenage or anyone below the age of 30 play this thing mostly. So be expect to see a lot of immaturity going on, lots of people will broadcast their troll music on their mic to annoy people and they find that funny which isn't the case at all.

This game is a pure gun FPS, unlike call of duty, battlefield where you could drive vehicles, they have many community made maps, weapons, practice rooms for you to download. The down side to this game is the weapon selection, there are only 4 kinds of sniper rifles, 7 kinds of assault rifles, 6 kinds of SMG, 2 heavy machine gun, 4 kinds of shotgun, 9 kinds of pistol. It is enough for a weapon that is based on economy, but for a player who plays FPS as a weapon enthusiats, that is definitely not enough. Also, this game doens't have female character :(

This kind of game is the one you want to spend time and invest in the long run because they are not something that release on a yearly basis. Those call of duty, battlefield thing, they release new title every single year, they sell their game and they work on new title, they don't care if the game gets hacked like mad. You have to be their fanboy in order to keep the fun going on, in other words you have to pay 60 bucks per year that is without DLC sht. However, CSGO is like 15 bucks on full price, they are on sale very often.

Another thing mention-worthy is the recoil system, tapping the gun does not help you at all for controlling the recoil, so having a rapid trigger macro won't help. Basically all the guns in this game except the semi-automatic sniper rifles, has upward recoil if you hold down the trigger, you just need to pull down the mouse, and with some experience and practice, you will be able to handle it.

Edit November 22nd, 2017: PUBG kicked in, tons of people left CSGO for PUBG, skin market downward spiral, developers panic update the game but doesn't stop the game from bleeding, cheaters still dominating the game.

This game is the european and north american version of AVA, however the best version of AVA is Korean, Japanese or Taiwan. The game itself is very good, however it is the problem of the company, they don't really ban closet hackers if they pay large sum of money, they only ban people that is doing obvious aimbotting. Laggers are really a big problem in this game, because the average ping in the NA server is about 150-200. It is better on EU though, like 50-150. The game is under a company called Aeria which is well known to treat every game of theirs as cash cow. They ways of making money is really dirty, but the game itself is still very good if you look at the other version like KAVA, JAVA, TAVA.

This version is plagued with hackers, cheaters. If you don't spend money on this game, there isn't really that much to get out with. This game is pay to win by the way. There is absolutely no reason to play this over CS:GO. The reason you want to play AVA is because you change gun very often and like to see different types of guns, and you hate the finance system in CSGO. AVA is a game that you buy weapon permanently into your inventory, it does not have free trade system, everything is bounded to your account. CS:GO is a game that you buy weapon temporary on the map but you own the skin permanently only.

This game has past its glory days back in ijji era in 2009-2012. The game company Aeria has to do with it, but besides that, it also has to do with the original developer redduck themselves, they just make so many laser weapons that has no recoil, all you have to do is crouch bursting and so many snipers that can move shot but they still maintain a very high 1 hit kill ratio.

As I have said, this game is plagued with hackers, laggers, you will have a lot of registry problem, your sniper could get tanked because of this ping difference, the play style in this version is different from the other version out there like KAVA/JAVA/TAVA where their average ping is below 25. Playing in UAVA has some sort of play style to make up for it, you have something called "peek advantage", camping is generally not as good thing compare to other FPS because it is always the one that peeks other have advantage. If you understand the concept of matters does not travels instantly, you will understand what I'm talking about. Whatever you saw, has already happened. Let's say a 1 pinger vs a 200 pinger, and let's say the 1 pinger and 200 pinger guy rush into each other, then the 1 pinger guy land a shot on the 200 pinger guy on his screen, but the 200 pinger guy also land a shot on the 1 pinger guy. On the 200 pinger guy screen, he will not experience death until the end of the 200 milli-seconds latency, he will experience something called "no reg" it means you see successfully landed the shot and see blood spewing out but the target is not dead, because the server took the 1 pinger shot prior to the 200 pinger. Basically, having a low ping does not mean you have the peek advantage all the time, it's all about the engagement moment whether if you are the one that peeks or get peeked. A 1 pinger peeks a 200 pinger, the 1 pinger will have advantage. A 1 pinger remains stationary and gets peeked by the 200 pinger, the 200 pinger will have advantage. A 1 pinger and a 200 pinger run into each other, the 1 pinger guy will have advantage.

I would still give this a "Yes" not a "No' even though it is worse than CS:GO. Because it has female characters, infection mode channels, co-op channels, match channel, quick match, last man standing, hide and seek mode, much more weapons variety to choose from. The game is indeed still fun to play.
