Whilst it may still having some rough edges, the efforts the developers have put into the game over the past year show that the game can be shaped into something truly amazing. I'd recommend waiting a bit, but the game is perfectly playable right now.. just expect some bugs here and there.

The game itself is great, it's Halo and it's fun as heck. But, I hope they change the progression system cause it sucks for now. But it's free! So why not give it a try at least.

This is a great improvement from the last Rockstar game. The setting and the story are one of the best I've seen in a single player game, and you'll definitely get a lot of gameplay out of this game. I don't even think I'm halfway through the main story so far.

I can't say much about the multiplayer though, I hear it's not that good compared to GTA: Online. But as a single player game, this game is more than worth it.

One thing though, anti-aliasing seems to be kinda poorly implemented. All the settings seem to either take way too much performance, or just make most of the screen look kinda blurry. Wish they'd fix this, but it doesn't seem like they will. Other than that, again, it's a great game.

If you're new to flight simulators and just want to try this game out, get in on Game Pass on the MS Store. Unfortunately, the game doesn't download through Steam, you have to keep the game open and it will download from inside the game so in the time it takes to download you will have gone over the 2 hour refund limit.
However, if you're already into flight sims, then this is probably the best one out there and you will most definitely like it!

This is my experience from the alpha/beta ( I haven't played the release yet)

This is the best out-of-the-box flight sim available, the entire world is available at such a great level of detail you don't get from any other simulator without having to pay and download a bunch of different things. You can literally go anywhere in the world and you can confortably do VFR over a great looking environment. The Azure AI can create great looking cities, towns, roads, etc without it looking like just some placeholder building were randomly generated. If you go looking for your house, there is a 99.9% chance you will find it. The weather is also the best looking out of any sim I have played and can be easily changed in real time.

The default aircraft, though study-level (or PFM if you're from DCS), are still great and the smaller aircraft like the Cessna-172 are more than enough to provide a relaxing and realistic flight over anywhere in the world. Of course, like with any sim, third parties are creating and selling their more detailed accurate aircraft available to purchase on the in-game store, which is great cause you don't have rely on third party websites.

Due to how many cities there are in the world, you can't expect everything to look great from simply using satellite imagery. But Asobo and other third parties have confirmed that they will be adding more detail to some of the bigger cities and places.

In terms of performance, it's not great but it's ok. On my 1070 on medium-high settings it averages around 40-50fps which on a flight simulator it's not bad.

Tl;dr: if you're new to flight sims, try it out first on Game Pass. If you already know your flight simulators, this is probably the best one so either buy it here or on Game Pass.

Had a lot of fun playing this game. The combat is similar to Dark Souls/ Sekiro and the exploration like Tomb Raider. This game feels like it's intended to be played on the hardest difficulty, as I'd recommend because it feels really good when you learn all of the enemie's moves and are able to effectively counter them. The story is also pretty good overall. The characters are likeable and have some depth.
Overall, this is the best Star Wars game we've gotten since Disney bought LucasArts... though that wasn't hard to manage. But, still, the game is great and I'd recommend it.

Surprisingly good for a WiiU port. I remember when it came out for the WiiU, the "Long live the Queen" trailer was amazing and I really wanted to play this game but didn't have the money for a WiiU. Nowadays it looks kind of dated but it's still fun to play. I'd recommend on sale.

I haven't played any other MGS game before this one (because they're not on pc, otherwise I would have) but after playing Ground Zeroes and reading some of the backstory/lore, I felt like i knew enough going into this game.
The story is just huge, with lots of characters and a lot of events that happened in previous games, but it never felt overwhelming. The gameplay is pretty good, though later in the game there are some really weird "pay2win" aspects. Not necessarily wherw you have to pay to gain better gear, but building and developing new items takes real time and you can pay a different currency from the main in-game currency to make these things develop/build faster. But overall it's a pretty good game.

It's free, it takes a few minutes to download, it's Blade Runner, Deckard's appartment. Totally worth it.

Seeing a few people complain about performance; I've got a GTX770 and was running at 55-60fps with V-sync on at highest settings in 1080p except when in the balcony that it went down to 45fps.

Many people will tell you that playing this game isn't necessary because your actions don't have that much of an impact on the Witcher 3.

Don't listen to them, also, don't just go and watch a video summarizing everything.

There's nothing like venturing alongside Vernon Roche, seeing alliances and frienships formed, to learn about the conflicts, to meet the characters first hand and fight with/against them... there is nothing like that than this game (and maybe the Mass Effect games).

But if you're still only playing this game because of the Witcher 3, though not necessary, knowing your (Geralt's) history within the world will help you with many important decisions in The Witcher 3.


Also, you may be (un)lucky and get a bug where half of the npcs are missing their pants.

It may not be appealing at first sight; it may hurt and pain you through the journey; but the outcome is very much worth it. You will look back at this game and you will know that you have just gone through one of the greatest games out there and you have entered the wonderful world of "The Witcher."
