Early Access Review
At this time I would not recommend it.

Reason is simple, its an early beta... There are so many gamebreaking bugs that makes the game unplayable. Bugs like suddenly the floor becomes unwalkable (in your own ship). Suddenly incapable of sleeping, suddenly the npc station has a hull breach because walls are not walls anymore.

Yes... There are a lot of bugs... The concept is great, but it is not nearly at the stage of being playable.

Only buy this game if it's under 10 pounds!

Do you want to play a game of perfection? Do you want to feel like a reconnaissance or special operative, who is solo missioning behind enemy lines? Then look no further! Play as Big Boss, the infamous villain of Metal Gear series that was once a hero but turned rogue because his country abandoned him. Play the time before David Hayter/Solid Snake took the field and became the legendary soldier that bested even Big Boss himself.

This is a prologue, reason why it is shorter compared to anything Kojima has ever put out, beside this fatal flaw then the game is a masterpiece of it's genre. It does its thing so greatly that it's leaving your heart throbbing, your mind numbing and you wanting to taste more of the Metal Gear series.

I highly recommend this game if it's on sales and if you have played the Metal Gear series and understood the story. The gameplay is brilliant but the story tops the cake off the icing. Unfortunately, the story is put into "tapes" and "clues" to understand what is going on, diviating from casual gamers who just want to be in the middle of everything. A clear sign of how Metal Gear cuts away the long cutscenes that it had in all it's series because of the critical acclaim from critics that hates cutscenes so much but never took into account that the gameplay of all of Metal Gear excluding NES, was innovative and new at the time or even mind blowing if just giving it some serious thought. All I can say is, that I miss the old codec phone in method. I do hope the easy method of none codec will not cross over to Phantom Pain.

Beside that, this game is a short reminder of what to come and it's a masterpiece that leaves you with a heavy cliffhanger that makes you want to break your keyboard because the main story takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes while doing plenty of stuff around the single map that exist out there.

This game is an arcade like, zombie survival game that substitute the horror with techno rave like music, in other words, humour. The game is highly addictive after you get used to the animation but hey, some of the best games are made in ASCII.

Despite it having maybe some bad traits with the graphics and at times FPS problems, then it is a great find! Easy to understand, hard to solve!

This is an open-world game where you can decide what you want to do. The story is intriguing and gives you a meaning to the world around you, giving you a reason to move and explore the world instead of just surviving. Gather people, become stronger, withstand and survive the vast world!

I highly recommend this game if you just feel like surviving zombie apocalypse with funky techno music, doing whatever you want, saving, taking over or destroying whatever you want, with consequences to doing so. Your choice, you're the big man here.

This game has remarkable music yet the story isn't as attractive as the one from Bastion. I assume this game is more pointed at the female gender of the gaming industry. A beautiful yet confusing story where you had no real (as a man) connection to the protagonist. Perhaps that is why the story seems less good and not to my taste but the music, the ambience, the entire gameplay is good.

If you enjoy turnbased action and good animations with an incredible music addon, then this is it. If you like a chickflick story of a silent woman who is guided by a talkactive narrator in a more rushed way (unfortunately) this is also the game for you.

In a sense, if you're a girl this is the "Bastion" you want to play.
If you're a guy though, I recommend Bastion for its more connected story towards a male protagonist and his efforts.

I give this 7/10 because story is important in this game and it is like reading a book that you cannot connect with without the extra X chromoson in my opinion.

Become the legend who defeated the dragon or the demon who terrorized the world. Don't believe the hero had a "easy" time to deal with these monsters, no far from it! You're a normal... Well in a sense normal ghoul who will fight in unfair fights and win! Oh the feeling of winning these fights is immense! This game has an inbuilt mechanic that you have to learn from your mistakes or be forever tread upon. Darksouls brings you the overpowered demons to you and wants you to defeat them when the rules are on their side. If you like a game that challenges your wits and gives you an openworld where you can basicly go wherever you want (though that would be quite unlikely) then you have come to the right place.

Besides it almost being impossible to play with keyboard and mouse, then it's just too brilliant to pass off. You will crumble, you will cry and you will be aware of tears ahead means that you want to be extra cautious although all these hardships, when you win! You will feel like God himself, until some dumb dog last hits you or pushes you off a cliff.

I recommend this game for hardcore and very challenging/smart gamers or people who likes to google the game to get through. Oh yes, did I mention? You will cry a lot in this game.

A compelling story about a young adult who has a mission. This game is... Memorable in all it's way and sense. It's just so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good if you got a bookworm heart and a feel for watching movies at the same time being interactive in it, this game is it.

If you want a tearjerking, actionpacked, story-telling and brilliant composed music. This is it! I highly recommend this game!

Ever wanted to control an army from the ground perspective? Ever wanted to be the one who changes the outcome in first or third person? Ever felt the glorious feeling of defeating an army with men you have trained and paid for?

Then look no further! This game is... Superb! With a lot of mods to go, it has everything! It's an openworld sandbox game where you can do whatever you want to do in the terms of what one man can, of course in a fantasy world. You start out with a background but that doesn't mean you're a knight just yet. You choose who you fight for, what you fight for and where your loyality lies. Backstab! Be evil! Fight for the maiden's honour! Fight for a country or simply make your own... If you have the strength and enough people with you or you will walking up a steep hill!

Graphics is the only weakness this game has BUT with all the features, all the fun, all the amazing moments and even one of the best and first to make, the fighting mechanics of medieval swordsman, bowman, pikeman, well YOU name it style, this game is brilliant.

I highly recommend it if you're in the mood of changing an entire continents fate by ruling and taking over the world. Go for it!

Feel like being the "bad" man instead of the commercial hero? Feeling like showing the world that you're smarter than the heroes out there? Then this is definitely the game! This game has everything that a villain wants; minions, "special" bodyguards and genius traps!

This game got it all, and do remember, this game is harder than expected. Heroes only got one weakness, they are cunning and they are going to ruin your so masterly crafted hideout! Can you defeat them? Can you make it in time to create a superweapon to bend the world?

I definitely recommend this game if you got that little devil inside although it has some few bugs here and there that should be fixed, such as your prison cage is unavailable and minions being dumb as a door though that's to be expected as you are an evil genius and you don't pay them anything anyway.

This game is brilliant! If you like a arcade like with some simulation of survival and roguelike experience, then this is the game for you. Now there are some flaws, such as you can't go around and be awesome forever and at times the game is kinda repetitive but it'll still give you some fun with the open world part. I recommend this game!
