Many years after the original came out, I played the remake.
I can't say if anything has changed other than the graphics.
But the game still sinks into the soul, after the game it is impossible to remain indifferent.

In my opinion this is the best part of the Mafia.

I really liked Tommy Angelo's last line:

Family is a huge weakness, but also a huge strength.
It is for her that we get up in the morning and strive for our dreams, even if they seem unattainable.
Family keeps us from falling when we no longer have the strength to walk.
Remember: money, work and even friends are all temporary.
But family...
Family is forever.

No matter what anyone says, there are very few games now that leave the same emotions.

I don't really like bananas, but now I can't think of anything else. I need bananas, bananas, bananas...

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!

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.

House Party is a controversial game because of its adult content. The game taps into a house party where you can meet attractive people, get into wild shenanigans, and if you're lucky have some gratuitous sex. This game is by means a sex education tool and an introduction about how to act in social situations.

I must say that the game has come a long way since its controversial launch. With numerous updates and improvements, the current state of the game deserves recognition.

Let's start with the visuals. The graphics in Star Wars Battlefront II are simply breathtaking. From the intricately detailed character models to the beautifully rendered environments, every aspect of the game immerses you in the Star Wars universe. Whether you're storming through the streets of Mos Eisley or engaging in epic space battles, the game never fails to deliver stunning visuals that make you feel like you're a part of the action.

The gameplay mechanics have greatly improved over time. The addition of new heroes, villains, and trooper classes brings a diverse range of playstyles to the battlefield. The controls are responsive and intuitive, allowing for smooth and satisfying combat encounters. It's a joy to swing a lightsaber as a Jedi or Sith, or rain down blaster fire as a trooper. The game strikes a good balance between casual fun and strategic depth, providing both new players and seasoned veterans with an enjoyable experience.

Progression and customization have also been revamped, addressing one of the major concerns from the game's early days. The loot box controversy is a thing of the past, replaced by a more player-friendly progression system. You earn experience points and credits by playing matches, which can be used to unlock new weapons, abilities, and cosmetic items. It feels rewarding to see your characters and vehicles evolve as you progress through the game.

One of the highlights of Star Wars Battlefront II is its variety of game modes. Whether you prefer large-scale battles in Galactic Assault, intense dogfights in Starfighter Assault, or close-quarters combat in Heroes vs. Villains, there's something for everyone. The addition of co-op and the popular Capital Supremacy mode further expands the replayability and offers thrilling cooperative experiences with friends.

However, while the game has come a long way, it's not without its flaws. Occasionally, there are minor balance issues that can disrupt the overall gameplay experience. Some heroes or starfighters may feel overpowered, leading to moments of frustration. Nevertheless, the developers have shown a commitment to addressing these issues through regular updates and patches.

In summary, Star Wars Battlefront II is a game that has overcome its rocky start to become a highly enjoyable and immersive experience set in the Star Wars universe. The stunning visuals, refined gameplay, and wide variety of game modes make it a must-play for any Star Wars fan. With continued support from the developers, the game has transformed into a galactic adventure that is well worth your time. May the Force be with you!

played the living hell outta l4d 1&2 on the 360. this game was lost in the farthest depths of my human mind. until i heard about a massive update to the game and i must say the game is so much more enjoyable on pc and with the lastest update i find myself lost in the realms of the darkest hallways fighting for my life for hours on end all over again and i love it very much.

8 years later....

The GTA series is by far, hands down, one of the best series in the video game industry. Its sales speak for itself.

This game's scale is pretty massive and runs fairly well on a decent PC. Rockstar has really gone all out on this game. It's practically endless to the things you can do in this game. You'll have hundreds of hours sunk into this masterpiece and still find things to laugh at, things to learn, secrets, and memorable moments. Just exploring the entire map is something in and of itself. I've done it all on foot now.

The story is something you'd see in the movie theaters. Micheal, Franklin, Trevor, and almost every side character is absolutely perfect, AAA, just blockbuster stuff. Micheal is a washed-up bank robber, now family man clinging onto stories of his criminal mastermind ways. Franklin is a young, loyal, earner who wants to be bigger than just some gang banger in the hood. And Trevor... Trevor.. Trevor is something truly special. Honestly, I've played the game so much and all the other games in the series that I understand how R* pushes the satire of current events and pop culture to the extreme. In ways that some would see as going too far. Trevor is all that and more in one person. The dialog between these guys in and out of missions/heists is one of the pillars of what makes this game's campaign so strong. You are able to switch between all three pretty much at your leisure as the game progresses.

The graphics are stunning and hold up to this day. With mods, it goes even further beyond!. From the busy city life of Los Santos to the vast, rural area of Blaine County. It's truly something to see, both during the day and at night. Characters, cars, animals, and environments are all worthy of greatness for detail.

Gameplay wise I'd say it's the most fluid and versatile in the series. GTA IV felt like you were a tank and to an extent, it feels like that in GTA V as well. But, it's better. I do miss the ragdoll effects GTA IV did have, however. Also, the vehicle body damage was far better in the previous title. Rather than having one weapon of each type, like before. You have a wheel that has every weapon, in every category available to you, if you're able to obtain them. There is an abundance of weapons to be used, vehicles too. You can also customize both weapons and cars pretty in-depth.

Music. Well. GTA is known for having probably the best soundtracks of all time, ever. Nothing really needs to be said there.

Online is really something else entirely. You basically level up and fight your way to being a notorious kingpin-overlord-super god. You can buy bunkers, facilities, offices, drug factories, nightclubs, casinos, submarines to satellites that shoot lasers. You can do just about everything you could do in the main story and more AND you can do it with like 30 other people online. It's just never-ending mayhem and provides for a truly great and unique experience every time you go to play it. The only thing that really does suck is the amount of modder/hackers in the game. R* says they do ♥♥♥♥, but it's evident that they do not.

The only real question is, why aren't you playing this game?
