Note: This review is based on the multiplayer mode of GTA Online.

This game could be good if Rockstar actually did something about the cheating problem.
It's one thing when somebody has an unfair advantage over you that you can just ignore or leave the session for, but this is more like being up against some god that can actually freeze you into place, teleport you into the ocean or even shut your game down. It's so fun to have your "Post OP Van" thrown into the ocean after already driving it for a boring 20+ minutes for a chance to make a little bit of money.

It's already difficult enough for a non-cheating player to make a million. It's almost like having a full time job doing the same tedious tasks for a chance of maybe making 100,000 and hoping that some griefer doesn't blow you up with cheated vehicles like the Opressor Mk2 with godmode enabled.
It's like working at McDonald's while some random guy is throwing the food out of the window while you are trying to bake some burgers while your employer gets mad at you for not making any food.

But no Rockstar only cares about selling shark cards for ludicrous prices and ignoring all the problems that are in the game. The money glitches get patched within a week and people get banned for that while it's a glitch in the game and not even some third party software, while people with actually cheated money are ruining the experience of actual paying customers and probably just have 30 extra accounts they made on the Epic Store.
I'm sure the problem would have been way less of a problem if making money wasn't so repetitive and boring. The game is probably much more fun if you are using the cheat software to mess up the game than to deliver crate X from point A to point B.

The single player is fine though.

Remember those 14 year old COD kids that screamed that they had intercourse with your mother through their crappy moonlanding quality microphones after you killed them? They are now in their twenties, dropped out of school. They haven't grown up at all and still play the same COD game from 7 years ago.

The whole game is filled with cheaters that use auto-aim to get over 100 kills each game. They then proceed to trash-talk you because they finally achieved something in life. (In their eyes.)

Don't buy this game if you plan to play online Multiplayer only. The only modes you could play are "Nukejacked", "Team Deathmatch", "Free for All" and on some rare occasions some "Capture the Flag".

I can recommend this game for the Story though, but €60 is way too much for a game that was made in 2012.

Still great after all of the years. The new civs and DLC campaigns are a great addition to the game.
The stability of the matches is not always the best though. Aoe2 on Voobly is way more stable in that sense.

This DLC doesn't have the the feel of the basegame at all. I'm sure that the ratings would have been way lower if it was a standalone product and not a New Vegas dlc. I could recommend the DLC for the loot that you can use in the base game, but not much more than that.

The whole game is linear and filled with scripted events. You walk into a room and suddenly there are 3 guys behind you while there was no one there before. There is not a single choice you can make that changes the story. Even the dialog options are bend towards one side. It feels a bit like watching a movie dialog where you have to press buttons to decide what part you want to hear.

I usually loot every building and box that I find, but in this DLC, a lot of them have a lockpicking skillcheck. That's ok, because I run 100 lockpicking, but it gets tedious after a while especially because the loot behind most skillcheck boxes is mostly stimpacks and water bottles.
Also: the whole map is rigged with explosives and the satchel charges where a pain even with 80 explosive skill. I ran into them a few times after looting a building and I didn't save, so I had to redo all those lockpicking skillchecks.

The world design itself kinda reminds me of the first Borderlands. Lots of chests and really empty after you kill all the enemies. Borderlands had NPCs to fill up the world, but this DLC only has one companion and one main antagonist. The enemies themself consist of only 3 different types. The stronger variants look exactly the same, but share a different name and better stats.
The style of the world and colours are pretty nice though.

Overal: Linear, bland, repetative and at some points even annoying and irritating.

This game is starting to look like a free to play game. It started with the lootboxes and now they introduced monthly subscriptions. The game even has in game ad banners and logos now. Are they pretending to be FIFA?
You pay €30 for a buggy game and now you need to pay another €9 for a TEMPORARILY MONTHLY DLC to receive cosmetic items. If you don't pay, you can still get level points for TEMPORARY cosmetics that you can use for a month.
Yes, you don't need to use these cosmetics or buy the DLC, but it's ridiculous that you pay money for this buggy and lagging game and most of the priorities lie on making even more money with ads, dlc and lootboxes.

TL;DR Fix your game instead of adding useless things that give you a quick buck out of people that pay money for this game.

It's a great game if you don't look at it in a too competitive way. Don't expect to play the next esports game, but expect a fun game where you can play a few quick matches and have a great time killing survivors or outrunning the killer.
Being high ranked doesn't give you any extra's besides some achievements and your rank gets resetted every month on the 13th.

The game is really great. The concept is well thought out, the controls are nice, the graphics, the music.
The only thing that's wrong with the game is the lack of players and the inability to play this game with friends.
Most of my matches are with bots. The bots are really terrible at some of the gamemodes, so the challenge is really low when you don't play with other people.

I got this game for me and a friend to play together. I'll show up on the map when I'm in a match, but when my friend joins, I'm not there. We live on a different continent, so it might be related to that, but even without friends, there are almost no people online. The first 4 levels always have 1 or 2 people in it, but the later levels are almost always at 0.
Even when there are players in the map, they sometimes feel like bots. I guess it's because they leave the match and get replaced by bots.

I still would still recommend this game because it's a great time killer, but don't expect to be playing this game for a really long time. This is one of those games that you play on a day where you want to play something else besides your normal go-to games.

This brings me back. It's still a nice game to play after all this years, but do note that it's just DosBox running this game and not a steam version.

Great concept for a card game. The rules are very refreshing from other cardgames. It combines the cardgame mechanics with a strategy and puzzle element by placing the cards in a certain way on the board. The artstyle is very simple, but fits the game great.

The game might be ok, but I can't know this, because I have only played this game for less than 5 minutes. It took me about 20 minutes to finaly get to the character creation. Once this was done, I could play training for about 3 minutes and then I got a message that I was cheating by using different software and the game just exited itself. I restarted and got back in the main menu. The training was no longer in progress and I started an online game. I joined in the last 2 minutes of a match, got 1 kill and the game ended. I got back in the waiting queue and got the same cheating message as before. At least I got the award for TF2, because I "finished" a game.
