This is a good and entertaining game. I have played it a lot of hours on Xbox series X before I bought it on sale on steam. There are a few problems that I find with the game and on PC it has to do with preformance and visuals the lighting and shading in the game seems a bit off I have HDR on and some times the image can seem washed out and in the next sceen the colors might be to much. This makes NPC's seem pale or that they have a sun burn.

An other issue that have had is that the game seem to draw a lot of VRAM, I have a 4070 with 12 GB of ram and I had to turn down the settings becouse the game would randomly crash. A lot of games have a VRAM indicator in the settings menu but this one does not.

Gameplay wise the game is good but there are a few things I wish they had made a bit different. The voices on the random NPC's does not always fit the character. And they have a very small amount of faces that are used again and again on the different NPC's Look's like all the "grown up" main characters have different faces but all the students even the once that are main characters in the story does share the looks that you can have as a character. So if you choose wrong it can seem like you and your student friend are twins.

Other then this I have found the game pretty good, but I would not really recommend buying it a full price.

Very good game, but it's a complete different game then the other Dirt games this is a arcane racer where you compete against other cars on a track most of the time and not really a rally game like the other Dirt games. Fun and good game if you like arcane racers like Forza Horizon and games like that. Played it on both PC and Xbox.

Very good game big (world) with lot of content and a good story, if you look past the graphical problems that the game has on launch date. Hopefully the developers will resolve the issues soon, but at the time I write this they havent fixed it. FPS is all over the place no matter what settings you have it on. Graphical crashes started for me mainly on the second planet, I turned off ray tracing and the crashes stopped, but the FPS problem are still there.

I like the story in the game and the gamemechanics and would have been a game to recommend from my part had it not been for it being the worst optimized game I have ever played. The game can run fine for a while and in some areas. But suddely you get a fps all over the place and the game stutter and lag alot even in cutscenes. Something that makes the game almost unplayable. I think it is sad, I play this 6 years after it came out, on a RTX 3080 card and the game looks very good to be 6 years old and I wish that it would not be a pile of ♥♥♥♥ when it comes to the optimization.

I played the first Mafia game on PC back when it came out, and it was one of the best games I had played at the time. The combat and the driving had been better in other games but this was not GTA and should not really be compared to it even though thats what many most likley did. After all you where driving cars from the 1930's and not modern cars. I dont remember how many times I did finish this game back in the day but it was a few. The remake are also a very good game and both the remake and the first game has its bad sides and good sides. They have added a bit less driving in and between the missions something that I personaly kinda miss since you kinda made more of a bound with the characters that you drove with then when having a lot of cutscenes. But when that said they have made the cutscenes very good and made a few more then whats in the original game. The thing that I probably missed the most was the original character of Paulie the character in the old game and in the remake are very differant both are good characters but very differant. They have also changed some of the missions so that instead of not running into either other mobsters or the police, they have made it so you do that in almost every mission. As an exemple in a mission you are going to a prison to assassinate someone and the prison is hugh compared to the one in the old game. You also can leave the prison in the old game before the police arrive. This is something that you cant do in the remake since they make you fall down and go unconscious untill they arrive. So it kinda seems like they thought people would find the old game to boring, But that was kinda some of the charme with it atleast for me. It did not have to have action all the time. But then again the real action scenes have gotten alot better. And the game world really looks beautiful. If there would be anything to complain about really it would be that some of the NPC textures and far away textures look a bit bad. I also had some problems with fps drop and a bit of stuttering sometimes but other then that I would say its a very good game that are worth buying. I am also glad that they have made a bit more out of the ending then what the old game did.

This is one of the best mmo rpg's out there today. The game has a lot of content and the developers comes out with one expansion every year and atleat 3 DLC's each year that then includes new Areas, dungeon, raids, equipment and questlines to explore. I am not a big raider or PvPer so I will not write about something that I dont know to much about. All I know is that there are both Battlegrounds and world PvP (Inside the Cyrodiil region) What I do in the game is to do the questlines and the content that comes out. I play it for the story's but also for the 4 man dungeon's and Im mainly a casual gamer. So my review is based on what I infact do in the game and my experiance with it.
Pros: Lot of good questlines. Lots of content and short time between each DLC/Patch compared to some other mmo's. Nice community. Alot of dungeons. Can customize your character a lot and play in a lot of different ways no matter what race or class you are (some classes and races are sadly better then other if you are going to be a hardcore healer/tank and so on). The world is huge and does not just look the same.
The whole game is voiced. The game has a good crafting system where you can infact make gear that are good even on max level.
Cons: The game could be a bit more stable there are sometimes some lag but it has become better. You need to be in a guild to have access to the "Auction house" I wish there were a AH like in WoW since for a casual gamer you can get quicked out of the guild fast if you are not online for a few days/weeks and will then have to find a new guild again. Loading times for instances can be long, for DPS atleast. but this is pretty normal i mmos. Would have been nice with a graphical update for atleast the character models and gear and more graphical options for PC. There could have been more and better world events, If you compare the Tears in Rift to the anchors in ESO, Rift had alot better world events that could impact a whole zone. Its free to play but you should pay for premium to get access to the crafting/resource bag with unlimited space. Sadly the game is made so you should buy bag space for the ingame store to get the max amount of bagspace that you can get in the game.

So this is all I can think about the game at this moment, I like it alot and belive like I have said that its one of the best MMORPG's out there are the best one for me

Very beautiful and well polished looking game that has a lot of nice game mecanics, only played it for about one hour but it gave me a very good first impression and also for the price I really do think it will be worth buying. Only downside is that I did experiance a few places where the game did loose a bit of fps but its a Early access game and things like that are to be expected. I also have a first Impressions video for it here (but it do contains a bit of spoilers) https://youtu.be/FvA_Sk-BLYo

This is a great MMO and has really been from day one, ofc it has had its problems like most mmo do in the start. But the biggest problem was that the developers listend to the players and made a game that was supose to be hard and still are pretty hard to this day. gamers wanted a game like vanilla WoW but what they didnt seem to remember was that vanilla WoW were both hard and had long attunements to get in to raiding. Players started to complain and leave becouse of this, where ofc other reasons aswell since the game was a bit buggy and had to fix some PvP issues. Today the game are F2P (subscription based before) and only sells costumes, mounts, few consumables, and housing items in the in-game store. The game offers what most players look for in a mmorpg like a good story, much PvP and PvE content, huge world, lot of different classes/races that are not gender locked, Housing, world pve content, mounts, regularly content updates and a good community.

Bethesda Software delivers once more, I have not played much of the Fallout series to be honest, I have been more of a TES guy, but I had big hopes for Fallout 4 and have played a few hours in it and it really do live up to the expectations that most people had for it. They have given the game a hugh selection of quests with good story's, a cool new feature where you can build a base/outpost with npc's, not to speak of the companion system which has both its good sides and bad sides, but over all its a good system and a very nice new feature that I hope they will improve over the years in there games. You don't buy a Bethesda game and expect it to not have bug's the, game has it bugs and glitches but for the amount of content and the size of the game you could not really expect it to not have any. When thats said I don't belive I have ran in to any that has been game breaking in any way, usualy they are small and they dont really affect the enjoyment of the game.

This must be in my eyes the best of the GTA games even thought, the older games like GTA 1, london and 2 had its charms and were great games back in the day even GTA 3 that did change the games from 2D to 3D had it charm. GTA 5 has a good story even if you can get enough of some characters at sometimes "Lamar", The story could have been longer though but there might be some singelplayer DLC comming out that extends the story, so will will just wait and see about that. Where the game really makes a big change from the other games are ofcourse the Online part. No GTA game has had this feature before if you dont count mods. Rockstar manages to deliver a very good online mode with a hugh selections of things to do with both friends and other random players, The SP story should maybe been a bit longer but the Online aspect makes up for it, you can spend hours upon hours on this game.
