UPDATED-SEE BOTTOM
Just trying to post a different review since I either seem to be lucky or they patched the game a ton in the 5 days since launch and have had a good exerience so far.
Runs perfectly smooth- up to 120+fps on 1080p at ultra setting while solo on a track, trypical is 80-105 in a career main. Using a GTX 980. Looks great, sounds great. Had a little bit of a loading screen bug where it would take several minutes to get past the "please wait" screen with a spinning wheel, nut it seems they also patched that last night since I have no encountered it since.

This is all based on my play time in the career mode ONLY so far and nothing else;

BUT I cant go without pointing out the negatives and there are quite a few.
The customization is a joke and massive step back from MXGP3. I dont know if it was lisencing issues or what, but you cant even run sotck plastics, just whatever sponsor you currently have, their graphics. Thats it.
No official teams to race for or ANY teams actually, just random single sponsors which again disctate how your bike will look. This is also a huge step back from MXGP3 and I was hoping it would be somthing they built on, not got rid of! So thats a big downside.
Should be a ton more parts customization choices as well as gear. We should be able to build these bikes from the ground up basucally seeing how far the graphics engines have come. A lot like how FPS shooters these days basically allow you to break down gun parts to build your own.
The 250s have a lot of trouble clearing simple triples on certain tracks, although usually railing the outside line for more speed does the trick.
And frankly, for a SX game their should be some technical riding gameplay skills, not just lean back and launch. There should be a lot of clutch usage, preloading and seat bouncing off of jumps, controlling bike movement mor while in air, etc.
And I think the biggest con of the game is the AI and how easy it is. Even on the hardest setting they will case almost all the rythem sections and just ride like your local goons.

Honestly aside from all that, it IS still a solid game that I have been playing a lot of. I just cant give it a thumbs down even though its somewhat bare bones, the gameplay is still solid and fun. There are some great tracks and sections that take memory skill & throttle control to master and hit clean. Its all about speed in the rythem sections but nothing is more satisfying then having a few clean laps nailing each section.

Basically if you are a true SX fan(like me which prob plays the biggest factor into me liking the game) youll like this and if you liked the MXGP games you should enjoy this. I just wish more work went into making this game different from their MX games because it really shows how this game engine was built more for outdoor tracks.

Edit:-Well, the more I play the game the more dissapointed I get because I see what a huge step back it is from their last game. By far the biggest issues I have are the abolsulte lack of customization options in career mode. MXGP3 made you feel awesome going from a privateer on a stock bike working your way up to a factory team. OR if you wanted you could start your own team and run any bike with any graphics kit. FOR some dumb ass reason, they decided that it would be a better idea to have about 10 total sponsors(like oakley, nut up, VP racings and other crap sponsors) that you MUST pick from, cant go un sponsored, and that one single sponsor is ALL you get and the only graphics kit you get. YOU cannot even run stock kits. To make it that much worse, EVERY SINGLE BIKE 7 DIFF BRAND looks literally identical with the sponsor kits. Picked a kawi and your sponsor kit is mostly red? Stays that way. While all of your official opponents are running their teams bikes and gear and they all look amazing, while you have some off brand BS sponsor kit. One of the things I looked foward to the most was this new gfx engine and being able to run factory bikes.
And AGAIN the AI, is the worst in racing I have seen. On the highest mode they still all case all the jumps and within half a lap you will be out front. The only way to semi enjoy a race is turn rewind off and crash a lot or give the whole field like a min head start. On realistic setting these dudes should ride like the f*cking pros they are, hitting every section perfect and having a VERY hard time catching them.
As of now Im changing my pos review to negative because this game should be priced at half of what it is due to the lack of customization, piss poor AI and leaps backwards from their previous game.

UPDATE UPDATE: Eh despite its downfalls its fun enough when you want to get some arcadey mx racing in....

One of the most unique gaming experiences I've had in a long time. No direction arrows, tutorials or hand holding. Just you & an alien water planet you crashed on. You go from starting with absolutely nothing & holding your breath to collect resources all the way to building massive under water bases, making deep diving equipment/tools, submarines(& a lot more that I wont spoil). There is also a very interesting story as well as tons of PDAs with info on the alien planet life.

Has multiple gameplay options that basically range from super hardcore to just exploration. Anyway you want to play, it's got you covered.

Runs smooth(for the most part, its got its share of bugs too) and it looks & SOUNDS especially great.

Oh and if you have any sort of fear of the ocean, this game dubs as a horror simulator at certain points.
You can go deep....but they really dont want us down there..

A fantastic horror game that just gets better each time I play. From the makers of Amnesia, I cant say anything bad about this game. Not a typical run & gun game but more similar to Alien: Isolation or Outlast where runing and hiding is your only defense. The graphics & audio, voice acting, story are all top notch. But the real star here is the setting/atmosphere. They really made the Pathos 2(lab) & under water areas come to life. Each door, computer, light switch, gadget and every item can be interacted with just adding to the immersion and detail. You are also rewarded by exploration with new story bits or dialouge that can easily be skipped over to complete the main, but add tons to the story.
A must play for any horror fan.

Where to even start....to put it simply, this game is a masterpiece. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is without a doubt one of the best RPGs ever made.
An absolutely MASSIVE open-world made up of 2 huge main areas and several smaller areas that give you a nice variety of scenery & cultures in each area. All of which are littered with TONS of activities and side quests that are just as well written as the main sotryline. The combat is deep, engaging and very well animated(great executions) and consists of ranged, melee and magic. All can be upgraded several levels which unlock new skills and abilites that give you a new effect or animation. There are hundreds of armor sets and weapons that are all highly detailed and a ton of fun to collect and upgrade.
The dialouge choices and consequences from your actions in this game are something truly special, the likes of which I have not seen in a game since the Mass Effect series. Almost every single quest in the game has unique different endings(as well as the game itself) and ALL conversations have several different dialouge branches that allow you to choose what type of Witcher you will be(good/bad).
And ontop of all that, the graphics are absolute top notch and are hard to rival on the PC if you have a higher end rig to run at max.
I did not have the chance to play the previous 2 Witcher games before Wild Hunt and it was still very easy to follow to storyline and catch up on the lore. Although if you have the time, I would imagine the characters and story will have even more meaning if you played through the first 2.

To sum it up, if you have ANY interest in RPGs or immersive beautiful fantasy worlds full of deep rich lore and great characters, this is a no brainer. 10/10

Awesome 2D puzzle/side scroller. A LOT of story packed into an amazing little game that punches you right in the feels, hard. Beautifully hand drawn animations make the entire game look great too. Highly recommended

AWESOME FPS mulitplayer game that absolutely nailed the core mechanics. Completely balanced weapons & gameplay, no health bar, no enemy spotting or kill cams. Just fun tactical coop & team play. Highly recommended if you are a fan of more "realistic" or hardcore mode shooters.

Best AC game to date imo. More like a pirate simluator based in the early 1700s in the Caribbean, that uses AC combat. Sick graphics and environments.

GREAT little indie platform puzzle game. Has an awesome art direction along with some really unique audio and soundtrack.

Still one of the best Survival/horror games out there. Great atmosphere, story and gameplay. Love the deep space setting. Awesome game!!

This will always be one of my top FPS games of all time. Yes, it has a few bugs but to me nothing even close to game breaking.
Ive never played a more immersive game in my life, the atmoshphere, story (which is based off the book Metro 2033) and characters just suck you in everytime. A variety of enemies, fresh gameplay elements, lots of easter eggs, multiple endings, great player animations and some of the best audio and graphics to date make this game a must have.
If you like FPS or survival horror at all, go do yourself a favor and pick this game up!!
