Orcs must die 2, but improved in every regard.

Campaign is great & varied, if suspiciously similar to Call of Duty Big Red One at times. VERY similar. I haven't touched the multiplayer.
Pros:
You get to kill nazis again.
Screaming nazis are a major hit of nostalgia
Did I mention dead nazis?
Wide selection of hats & helmets to steal
Punchy combat

Cons:
Sometimes you get a checkpoint that faces you in the wrong direction or suddenly changes your orientation.
View bobbing. Why?
Game is aggressively hostile to cross dominant players. It is nearly impossible to wrestle the game such that you can both hold a weapon in your dominant hand and see the sights properly.

How you holdin' up bree?

Needs a proof run for typos, there's a few in there.
Better circuit puzzles than HLA, 9/10 IGN.

Fun and creative.

Needs some work for bugs (Every physics object in this game acts like it's spring loaded). Good premise, good gameplay.
8/10

Got this game by linking my bethesda account. The base game was such a disappointment that I had actually forgotten that it had come out.

It's still Fallout 76, and it still has a lot of the problems that fallout 76 shipped with.
Enemies spazzing around
Enemy health magically refilling
NPCs disappearing

With the new added bonus of weird, floaty NPC interactions in dialog that weren't even there with the robots in the base game.

What dialog was there (I went to the town, got asked to build a damned settlement, and went to write this review) seemed competent, and the voice acting was very good. A step in the right direction.

A step in the right direction, admittedly, trying to climb back up the cliff of bad ideas that fallout 76 had already fallen off of. At this point they're pissing in the rain, and should just eat their investment and accept this as another Brotherhood of Steel.
At least Fallout Tactics was fun.
3/10.

Absolutely fantastic.
I expect I'll beat my head against this game for many hours yet to come.

Played with a fully upgraded Vive (DAS, wireless adapter) w/ the Index controllers.

Great environments
Great sound design
Great worldbuilding
Fantastic mapping
Intuitive, instinctive controls
I really can't get over the bullet sponginess of the enemies. It's just too much on hard, and I've heard it isn't any better on the lower difficulties. If there was more ammunition for the shotgun available, or if the pistol held more rounds, it might be a little different - but as it stands it takes almost an entire magazine from the pistol to kill a normal combine with headshots.

The only bugs that I have encountered were extremely disruptive. Either steam crashing outright (and requiring a full reboot of my PC to get it to launch again. This happened twice in 5 hours.) when I tried to open the menu.
It's not unusual when you're placing something like the valve handles for your hands to get awkwardly stuck inside of them when they snap in the world. It's unusually difficult to get them free of the object.
When the game starts a level transition, either I lose tracking or the game starts moving the environment without me, and it's a total nausea factory. It's only for about five seconds before the city map spawns in.

I also can't get over the fact that Alyx has her finger on the trigger of every gun, all the time. And that she steadies her handgun by holding it weirdly from the magazine. It's not how I carry myself in reality, and after years of doing it the right way in reality, It just feels wrong.

This review is positive because nothing I've posted is an intrinsic problem with the game. I would expect nothing else from a game on day one.

It's fallout New Vegas.
Install the 4GB mod & new vegas stutter remover & the unofficial patch. GOTY 2012-2019.
