Another full priced game infested with microtransactions. Move along...

Disclaimer: I have played many more hours in the closed beta.

Also note: Over time, I have changed my opinion from a sure recommendation to a very careful one, as the dev team does seem to be addressing all the issues - slowly, but still, the community stays a bit skeptical, as there are some fundamental issues with the engine itself, which might prove a challenge to fix 100%, even for full release. Still, let's stay optimistic that we will get a polished product, but don't buy the game if you're not willing to risk it - there is already a lot of disappointed people in the forums as it is.

I grew up on Quake - it was one of the first big eSports games (if not the first) ever. And for years -
in great waves of nostalgia - I have been wishing for the genre of arena shooter's comeback.

Well, here we go.

Until the new Unreal Tournament is released and after we got a new Doom and Wolfenstein, I'm holding in my imaginary hands a game that I've sworn myself to not get hyped for. And now I bought the Champions Pack on the first Early Access day even though I could have just continued playing for free (as everyone from Closed Beta can, and everyone will after the golden release). Why? Because id and Bethesda took a leap into the dark and tried to revive a long dead genre, just like the cRPG genre has been revived only recently thanks to Kickstarter. And in my eyes, they didn't drop the ball one bit, even though lots of the younger "critics" would like you to believe so.

Same like with Doom, people who saw the trailers were first hating on the new playstyle (which in this case are the champions and abilities - saying it's an Overwatch ripoff etc).

And after Doom finally got released, those critics swallowed their words, because it was far from being the case. It was an awesome throwback and a really fun game. Actually, it was one of the best FPS games of this decade.

Now, what about Quake Champions? I have to say we got a product which through some technical imperfections is - in its core - really fun to play.

The thing I am worried about is the thought - what if people have lost interest in this genre? What if the younger generation never had it? I am still a bit pessimistic that people will keep playing CS:GO, Overwatch, and yearly clones and iterations of CoD or Battlefield. Then an occasional survival FPS game. Can one of the founding fathers of all multiplayer games show everyone how it used to be done?

Let's see... to make my small contribution and help Quake get back its popularity, I am giving this game a thumbs up.

One thing I would like to point out: This game might be setting a huge precedent. Should it succeed, we might see arena shooters on the rise again, as other games will start emerging as competition, and hopefully, it will also give a kick to the new Unreal Tournament to get released asap. On the other hand, if this game fails, publishers will wash their hands over this genre's comeback, and we will probably never see similar games again. I would love to see the day where players have again the variety of first person shooters - and can choose between playing CS:GO, Overwatch, Quake, Unreal Tournament, or maybe a new and better challenger to those games - in the progaming tournaments. It might mean more people will start becoming interested in FPS as eSports again, as many gamers grew tired of watching and playing the same slow shooter again and again (I can't be the only one). This could be a good thing for the whole gaming industry - and we might once more find ourselves surrounded by skill-based games that are just a mixture of pure, condensed fun and fast, gory, adrenaline action.

Do you like:
a) Fallout 3 and/or Fallout New Vegas
b) Borderlands
c) Survival games
d) Modern military shooters
e) Kleptomania simulators

For every "Yes", add 5% to the score, starting at 65%.

As others have mentioned, this is a great game, but has not much to do with Fallout. If I scored this as a Fallout game, I would say it's a disaster.

However- if you don't look at it as a Fallout game, it's actually quite awesome.

I'm saying that as someone whose first memorable game on a CD was Fallout 1 demo with Junktown back in the day... and who has played Fallout 2 approximately 20 times.

It is a refreshing change. This game is more like a shooter. Don't expect a strong story or role playing aspects. Look at it like a post-apocalyptic shooter with some fun crafting. That's all it is.

The gun play is amazing. One of the best I've ever seen. The guns feel great, they just feel "right", there's a lot of customization going on and you'll be checking every corpse to see if there's a better item.

On the other side, you might have a problem enjoying this due to the p*ss poor optimization. On my PC, it doesn't really matter if I play on the lowest, or the ultra settings. So I just play on ultra and have the same performance as if the game looked like a piece of horse turd.

The story and overall writing is quite bland at times and doesn't really drive you forward. I found myself just sprinting to the next city to see what happens there, ignoring the sidequests thrown at me.

When I first opened the PipBoy radio and tuned in to it, I found that they added some of the old songs from previous games- and quite frankly, it felt really weird- like it didn't belong. That's how different this game feels.

In conclusion- don't buy this if you expect a true Fallout game. Although, it has been quite obvious since Fallout 3 that Bethesda isn't planning to reproduce the Interplay/Black Isle formula. If you're up for some shooting and crafting, with some Fallout feeling sprinkled on top- I think it's well worth it on sale. But it's even less Fallout than Fallout 3- honestly, it feels a bit more like Borderlands to me, just a tad more realistic and added crafting- and unfortunately, missing a lot of the famous Fallout humour.

As for me- after the free weekend, I have decided to buy it. I realized that I just wanted more Fallout. And I'm glad that I did it. Maybe it's just nostalgia- but it feels good to be back.

Nostalgia hit me hard. With my pink glasses, I remember MK1 being this fun when I was a kid.

Even after eyeballing it periodically on Youtube, I've been holding off on buying this game for a long time due to all the issues people mentioned. But these have since been fixed with a recent PC patch. I don't know how the game was before (I assume pretty bad, as evidenced in the older reviews), but I can say that now it's pretty awesome.

My only complaint would be that the single player is more of a movie with some random fight scenes in between. But then again ... you don't buy this game for its campaign, do you?

Fruit Ninja: Edgy Metal Edition

This game will keep you occupied if you have OCD. Or if you don't.

One of the best books I've ever read.

On sale for 1€, this was probably the best deal I've ever made. One of the most fun FPS I've ever played (especially in the recent flood of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ CoD clones). Imagine the classic Shadow Warrior mixed with Bulletstorm and some simple character development. Fun melee combat + great visuals + tons of humour!

The only problem is optimization, in some areas the performance will drop, a lot - especially with reflections turned on. But most of the time it's fine.

I played it a few times, it's not so bad

I'd definitely recommend this to the casual gamer. Sometimes it's too easy but it's k
