An amazing and unique game, that offers the unforgettable experience while playing it. Sadly enough, I can't say the same good thing about its fandom which is regarded as toxic. Nontheless, I highly recommend getting this awesome game, as long as you won't bother with its disappointing fandom.

I have played (almost) all parts of Total War, this series of games is rightfully considered one of my favorites, but, of course, there must always be a diamond in the rough among the mountains of gold. And this, in my opinion, is the Second Shogun.

Total War: Shogun 2 truly is a (nearly) perfect entry in the series from Creative Assembly. But! It is important to understand that if you have NOT played Total War before, then, of course, it is better to start with the basics, like the first Rome or the Middle Ages II, as I did many years ago. But after familiarizing yourself with the dead parts, you should immediately move on to Shogun.

The time period in Japan, which in history is called “Sengoku,” is done very beautifully, aesthetically, and laconically. Looking at this, I just want to write haiku, a drop of sake and make seppuku.

Diplomacy is interesting, at high difficulty levels, even rather unexpected. There are clans on the map with whose participation you conduct a “dialogue”, but do not forget about the Shogun (note - the main character), who, when he senses danger, unleashes his faithful samurai dogs on you. You need to think through every step (of course, I’m talking about high levels of complexity again).

Technology is generally one of my favorite topics in the game. Not just “hero statue, effect - 5 to experience.” Namely, everything is spelled out, each technology is special in its own way, with its own quote, here “The Way of the Sword”, there “The Way of the Bow”, here “Defense Strategy”, there “Strategy of Defense”, etc.

There are also disadvantages, but they are different for everyone, so my advice is to take the second Shogun and have fun! Arigato!

No Man's Sky is a truly open universe.

Whether a distant mountain or a planet hanging low on the horizon, you can go there.
You can fly seamlessly from the surface of a planet to another, and every star in the sky is a sun that you can visit.
Where you’ll go and how fast you’ll make your way through this universe is up to you. It’s yours for the taking.

Very beautiful game!

Great survival game.

With so many mods this game feels like a whole new experience everytime you play it.
The graphics and art direction of this game are just sublime.
Immersive environments and especially life is present everywhere.
The soundtrack is absolutely fabulous.

Highly recommended!

Subnautica is a template for what open-world survival games should strive to be.
It’s fantastical, fresh, and frightening from surface to seabed, with a story that kept on surprising me and a cast of sea monsters that quite literally haunted my dreams.

I could tell you about the flaws of the game, but that's not why I am leaving this review.
I'm leaving this review because I have played the game for years and and am still having fun. That shoudn't be possible. So despite its flaws, 7 Days to Die scratches an itch no other current title can scratch.

Technically, Battlefield™ V remains a really nicely constructed game for the most part.
The weapons feel and sound great. The environments of snow and water and sand are stunning. The game is relatively bug free (other than AI shortcomings) and the servers are stable. The menu structures however are terrible, with a layout reminiscent of the windows tiles and a functionality that would best be described as counterintuitive. Sometimes I found myself just clicking on boxes almost randomly, curious where they would take me because I didn’t really know.

Huge survival horror style video game, type of trial and error, that Red Barrels has released, it is very realistic, open world in the open air but without ceasing to be linear, with good graphics, story and a lot of explicit gore. Here your only weapon is your true instinct and knowing how to react in time to the adverse situations that arise throughout your tortuous and macabre journey, even more so when encounters with certain adversaries are mandatory and linear. It is very important to empathize with the environment as well, since many times it will be vital for our survival since we will have to interact with it to be able to move forward in time before they reach us.
On the other hand, you are only armed with a video camera which has a built-in microphone to listen to where your enemies are while you are hidden, you are not a hero here, forget about facing them but at the same time you must be fearless, agile and if you can, run away when leaving. behind an enemy, going slow sometimes just doesn't work, it will only bring you more problems, you also have to take risks for things to turn out well.

It is a quite chilling game that leaves your body full of shocking emotions, in a few words it makes your hair stand on end and your skin crawl, and you can notice how a chill runs through your entire body (especially in the part of the school where we will appear on multiple occasions when entering certain post-traumatic flashbacks of the character we handle, the feeling of adrenaline is brutal). On the other hand, you have to know how to manage batteries well since they are in short supply on many occasions and last relatively very short. I only recommend using them when you are really blind and don't know where to go and the lighting is very gloomy.

I found the part about the bandages to heal yourself quite absurd because most of the time the enemy locates us we will either mislead them with our stealth skills or they will directly gut us with three hits, here the enemy shows no mercy ( Bandages are mainly used for damage caused by falling from a high altitude, but beyond that they have almost no practical use, they will end up being left over).

Finally, add that the game does not have any DLC or expansion, it is only the base game and nothing more, apart from the fact that they could start to discount it a little, which has been around for a while now, if it is on sale, don't hesitate and try it, I personally loved it!

Gameplay: 8
General difficulty: between 6 and 7
Story: 7
Duration: 8 (depending on difficulty)
Optimization: 9
Dive: 10

Final grade: 8

P.S.: Completed on Nightmare difficulty (multiple deaths occurred)

Note: I highly recommend the Nightmare mode, which is where the game really makes more sense, life and becomes much more exciting, you are going to really enjoy it...

Although somewhat outdated at this point, the game lets itself go, it's not bad, mediocre physics and controls, more than decent graphics, good aesthetic and musical atmosphere (especially the music is what stands out the most in this game, very chill-relax and deep, I love it!! and the waiting areas next to it are simply brutal!!), the rest is running, jumping, evading/killing cops, jumping running, evading cops, something monotonous, but also intuitive. The color palette is quite limited and poor, playing with only 4 or 6 colorful textures mixed together, although perhaps it is the central idea of ​​the game that it looks like this.

The parkour part is quite well done (especially if you know how to mark yourself as a good speedrunner), the game has a fairly frenetic pace and does not forgive mistakes, generally if things don't work out the first or second time you have to repeat them again because you are literally "dead."

The story is a bit weak, told like a brainless puzzle to add some filler, although it is not bad at all, it is not its strong point, it is the typical hobby game of killing time, you jump from one place to another to another and thinking carefully about how to do it (there are different ways), it cannot be said that it is complicated, an intermediate difficulty, for being a game from 2009 many aspects of it can be forgiven, personally I give it a 6.5/10.

Game not suitable for those who don't even know how to roll a cigarette without making a mess...that is to say for people like me ._.', in any case it has something that catches you (like maybe the atmosphere it has) and makes you wanting to play it more despite not understanding almost any mechanics and being lost all the time :C, but it is highly relaxing and stimulating, in short it allows you to go at your own pace without stressing yourself out too much and I guess that's enough for me <3.
