This is not Command and Conquer, it's a mobile RTS game with C&C brand slapped on the cover. Give us a proper sequel EA, or better yet, watch Tempest Rising be what you could not create for more than a decade.

Simply a work of art.

The game is amazing in every single aspect, its slow and methodical approach to gameplay as well as the dark fantasy enemies and level design give a nod to Darksouls. The graphics are amazing, the performance is very well optimized and the story is well told. The enemies and bosses are varied and almost all of them interesting.

One of the best games I've played.

The clowns returns with a bang. After being bankrupted by the authorities and hunted down by the corrupt government and respective security agencies, the gang has to go underground, regroup and take back the initiative.

Under Unreal 4 engine (with plans to port it to Unreal 5 later down the line) the Payday formula has reached new heights. Better gameplay, better graphics, better animations, new mechanics, it's basically a complete overhaul, an improvement over all aspects from the previous game.

See you at the bank around the corner fellow heisters.

A great game for Alien fans.

XCOM but real time instead of turn based with a heavy focus on resource management. The atmosphere is incredible, the story is good, the voice acting is also good, but where the game really shines is on the moment to moment encounters with the enemies, specially using the slow motion to strategize the combat itself.

One of the best Alien games is now released, see you on the field Marines!

Based on the actual Starship Troopers (1997) film this game is a great tribute to the saga. It's a very good and modern RTS with one of the best level designs I've seen in the genre. Despite minimal to none base construction (only possible to build specific buidlings in specific locations to advance the unit tech tree) it follows Company of Heroes "capture base stations and strategic points" style to get resources. The mission campaign despite relatively short (10-15h) is very well made and can grab it's hooks into the player. There is a good progression of difficulty and very unique missions to undertake. There is also steam workshop support for player made missions (the community has already made incredible maps including some remakes from the popular film) and despite not yet present, a mode focused on replayability it is planned to be added
sometime in 2023. There are also some official challenge maps that range from Spec Ops missions, to a experimental wave survival mode.

A great game for RTS fans, go out there and Kill some Bugs!

A Turn-based card battle game with tactical movement mechanics while moving across the board. For everyone who likes Slay the Spire, Witcher Rogue Mage, Tainted Grail conquest, and other similar games will love this one.

Pros:
- Very beautiful presentation;
- Good ambience music;
- Having the possibility of terrain affecting the combat effectiveness of the character and enemies;
- Very good progression system;
- Good enemy variety;
- Workshop support for community made missions;
- Good card artwork;
- Good character variety (4 Mahokenshi but each one feels and plays very different from one another);
- Good map design for official missions and side quests;
- Good story;

Cons:
- For now (30/Apr/2023) as official content only the campaign is available, after completing it and all the challenges only the workshop can offer some replayability;
- After almost 20hours the map could start to become a bit stale as the tile sets (plains, moutain, forest and hills) are always the same but re-organized for different missions;

A very good game, will be eagerly awaiting for official DLC for more content or even a sequel.

Good roguelike card game. Slay the Spire meets Gwent.

Great artwork printed on the cards, the battles are fun, the enemies varied, good balance of difficulty where you actually have to think to win games and a decent progression system that can hook us in.
The story could have been more developed but it's decent enough to get things rolling.

If you like Gwent but was wishing the F2P version wasn't only about the boring PvP and would like some extra powerfull cards to play against AI this it it.

Anything under than a RTX 40XX will not run the game above 30 fps.

Shameless "upgrade" only made as an advertisement for brand new RTX card series where you really need one if you want to play this around 50fps...

The ultimate "Souls" experience. A great atmospheric open world, full of a great variety of enemies, a (very) well structured story (written by George Martin no less) with everything that made the Darksouls series the behemoth it is updated or improved.

If you like action RPG's, open world, story rich content and a little bit of difficult challenges to spice things up, this one is right up your alley.

This game has probably the best story I've played in a videogame. It's very complex and in depth but also very approachable, realistic and relatable. The characters are amazing and you really connect with the main characters and some secondary ones.
But the star of this game is the decision making. This game present you a lot of choices and almost all of them really matter and can potentially change the course of the narrative and even get characters killed.

This game is simply a work of art.
