The greatest zombie survival game I've ever played. I loved loved loved loved the parkour in this game. The various ways of killing zombies, types of zombies, types of overpowered weapons, they were all amazing. Haven't played the other installments to this franchise yet but I got a feeling that it's still the best one out of the bunch. The music in particular gave me goosebumps, heck, I even unironically listen to it on Apple Music. The story was a bit lacklustre but it was okay. The character development of Kyle Crane was amazing too. The DLCs of this game were good too, I got nothing to complain about. You'll easily get hours of gameplay thanks to 2 (3 if you include the following) massive open world maps and TONS of side quests too. Not to mention the graphics still looks insanely good for a decade old game. One of my most favourite games of all time.

Mafia II is, without a doubt, the crown jewel of the entire trilogy. From the characters to the music, everything just hits perfectly. For a remastered 2010 game, the graphics look shockingly good. The chemistry between Vito and Joe is honestly one of the best parts. Their dialogue is so natural and entertaining that it almost feels like you’re the silent third wheel riding around with them. The story really kicks into high gear near the end (no spoilers), but even before that, the missions and character moments keep things fun. This game will also make you realize that everyone needs a friend like Joe Barbaro… preferably one who causes slightly less chaos, but still. One small gripe: there’s no proper free-ride mode, so if you just want to drive around and vibe, you basically have to hop between chapters like you’re time traveling with a Buick. Minor annoyance, but worth mentioning. Now, the DLCs. Both Jimmy DLCs? Absolute cheeks. I have no clue who woke up at Hangar 13 and said, “You know what Mafia needs? An arcade score system.” The achievements for those DLCs felt like punishment for crimes I didn’t commit. But Joe’s Adventure? Fantastic. Easily makes up for it. It adds great lore and gives you a deeper look into what Joe was up to behind the scenes. The way this game injects itself into Mafia I, how and why Vito and Joe did what they did, it gave me literal goosebumps (being vague to avoid spoilers). Playing Mafia II is definitely a cannon event in everyone's life. Easily the most memorable game of the franchise.

I've got to say that this was literally the most video game a game ever could be. Crazy fun combats, diverse enemies, overkill mods, you name it. I swear the graphics with RTX on will give you a boner. The environment of the game lacks colour and that's what makes it so immersive, you're in this corporate industrial building for the entire game with reflections in every corner. The story was confusing, trust me I tried my best to understand it but I guess I'm just too dumb for it. The cutscenes and dialogues could've been better ngl, most dialogues were cheesy and felt out of place. My biggest complaint with the game is the navigation system, you'll spend HOURS just to get to the places you need to go. There are signs directing you to rooms but even then you'll get lost half the time. The puzzles were fun and interesting too. The AWE DLC was fun too, brought a sort of horror element to the game. Foundation? Not so much. I freaking hated those overpowered Hiss sharpened who could run as fast as light and even teleport but eh, it was challenging to face a lot of enemies at once. Last but not least, The Ashtray Maze. Just for that alone you should buy this game, God how much I loved that sequence. Definitely the most memorable part of the game. Good job Remedy!

This was one of the few games that actually made me cry. The story, characters, music, everything was so damn good and well written. The game was extremely small, but it's a remaster of a 2002 game so that makes sense. The open world was extremely beautiful but you don't really have the chance to explore it while playing the main story, and that's where free ride comes. The collectibles were painful to collect, there are probably over a hundred collectibles and you gotta collect some while playing the story, so don't miss out on that. And the notorious race, you might break your keyboard/controller over it but that's what makes it challenging and fun. You gotta play the entire game from start to finish in "classic" difficulty to get the "made man" trophy. Just buy it, I have nothing else to say.

screw this ♥♥♥♥, got this ♥♥♥♥ for free, spent minutes playing this ♥♥♥♥, didnt understand ♥♥♥♥, tutorial wasnt helping cuz it was ♥♥♥♥ so i asked steam support to take this ♥♥♥♥ back, dont ever make ♥♥♥♥ like this free again

I really loved it. If you like chaos and explosions, the Just Cause series is for you. This ♥♥♥♥ is just pure dopamine tbh. JC3 seems to be the fan favourite but honestly? I liked JC4 a bit more cuz of the mods. JC3 mods are kinda boring and lacks creativity. I did play JC4 before playing this one but I gotta say that JC3 looks better; the graphics, environment etc. just looks more lively and colourful compared to JC4. If you wanna play this game for the story, don't. This game is ONLY played for the action and chaos. The campaign is honestly kinda small, you could prolly finish it in a day but the exploration is what makes this game fun, especially the tedious challenges.

I'm rewriting this review after finishing the game and all the DLCs. Yes, it's a good game, amazing story, amazing soundtrack and most importantly, amazing DLCs. The base game was EXTREMELY repetitive. You take over rackets, assign them to underbosses, take over districts, assign them to underbosses again and keep doing that until you've taken over the entire city. But the cutscenes were spectacular, the acting, drama and even the music was amazing. The reason why I changed my review from a thumbs down to a thumbs up was cuz of the DLCs, they were extremely fun and diverse. One makes you feel like you're playing a horror version of L.A. Noire, another one makes you feel like you're Nathan Drake/Lara Croft and the other one makes you think you're playing Schedule 1. Heck, I'd go as far as to say that I enjoyed the DLCs more than the base game. One thing I gotta put some light on is how godawful the tracking/counting system is in the game. If an achievement tells you to kill 300 enemies using takedowns, you'd expect to take down some enemies, save the game and continue in the next session as if the game remembers that you'd taken down X number of enemies, but no. Everytime you start the game, the counter goes back to 0 so you gotta do it in 1 sitting. There are many achievements in this game that requires you to finish it in 1 sitting, and 2 of them requires you to play the entire game (yes, the entire game) from start to finish in 1 sitting. You can't close the game or turn off your PC at all. So good luck to all of my completionists out there. I had to suffer a lot to 100% Mafia 3, so if you need help, just let me know.

The sheer amount of bugs and glitches have caused me to crash out multiple times. Whenever I try to store my equipments, it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ disappears completely. For example, i tried putting the mixing tray on the table but I dont like where its at. So i "store" it to my inventory and then when i go to check for it in my inventory, that ♥♥♥♥ just disappears, now i dont have any tool for mixing my products yay. And lets say i bought a table to put my laptop on. I bought it, placed it in my hideout, placed my laptop on top of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ table and when i realize i dont like where my table is placed, i try to change it position but OH NAHHH U CANT MOVE THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TABLE UNLESS ITS UNOCCUPIED, SO I TRY TO STORE MY LAPTOP IN MY INVENTORY IN ORDER TO STORE MY TABLE BUT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NOOOO U CANT STORE LAPTOPS IN UR INVENTORY, SO NOW MY LAPTOP AND TABLE IS PERMANENTLY IN AN UGLY ASS AWKWARD POSITION FOREVER, TOUCHE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
