The Quake 2 Remaster just came out and I have a lot of feelings about it. When I was around 10 years old the original version of this game came out and it changed my life. My friend's dad showed this game to use and it was something special. I had never seen anything like it before. Since then I have dedicated myself to becoming a gamer. However, not just any gamer. I want to be the kind of gamer that people listen to and respect. I want to be the kind of gamer that influences purchasing decisions. So, I can say with all of my heart: buy this game and play it while your family watches and reconsiders the fundamental basics of evolution.

Imagine not playing this game.

You get to play as a cat and you will enjoy playing as a cat. Truly a lovely experience. Stunning art and level design and just a fantastic vibe. If you like atmospheric, beautiful games and are a cat person, this is for you. 9/10

I don't often write reviews for games. This game has compelled me to do so. What an absolutely fantastic game it is. I have never been much of a 4x player or a grand strategy fan in the past, but something told me to pick this one up. Man am I glad I did. Stellaris really captures the feel of role playing a galactic empire. From the ethics and traits, to diplomacy and trade. To combat and wars. Each game takes hours and hours to complete. I'm currently on my 14th hour of the current game and have plenty more to go.
The fact that you can completely customize your starting race, complete with ethics and traits, and the fact that AI species are all completely randomly generated is what makes this really shine. Also, you can design your own ships with the technology you have researched. Awesome idea.
The only thing that has bugged me a bit, is the UI needs an overhaul. There are many areas where efficiency can really be improved when managing a lot of fleets and planets.

If you're a fan of space, and feel like ruling the galaxy, pick this game up. With improvements and DLC over time, this might be one of the greatest space games ever made.

9.5/10

This is a game that every human should try at least once. One of the most stand-out titles in gaming. Perfect blend of complexity, frustration, fun and satisfaction.

10/10 Would rocket science again.

A man ran up to me and asked if I could kill him because he drank disinfectant. 10/10
