A piece of the future! Graphically, Horizon Zero Dawn is a visual feast for the eyes. The game's expansive, post-apocalyptic world is teeming with lush landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and awe-inspiring mechanical creatures. The story follows Aloy, a skilled hunter and outcast, as she unravels the mysteries of her world's past and present. The lore is rich and expertly crafted, blending elements of tribal societies with high-tech ruins, creating a unique and engrossing universe. Aloy's character is both relatable and strong, and her journey is filled with emotional highs and lows that players have an impact on the story line, 'be good or bad'. Gameplay is where Horizon Zero Dawn truly shines. The combination of traditional weapons the versatile and upgradable bow, provides players with a satisfying array of combat options. Each mechanical creature poses a unique challenge, requiring strategic thinking and precision to overcome. The thrill of hunting these creatures, learning their behaviors, and exploiting their weaknesses adds a layer of depth to the gameplay. The open-world design is masterfully executed, with a seamless blend of exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving. The crafting system, resource gathering, and skill tree further enhance the sense of progression, allowing players to their preferred playstyle. The only unpleasant thing that I notice in the combat system is as soon as you hit a target the whole party notice you but infront of this masterpiece is insignificant. In conclusion, Horizon Zero Dawn is a triumph of modern gaming and as Aloy says at the last scence 'Be curious'.

++Where it all started! You get the chance to play as Bayek of Siwa last medjay- first assassin and the unifier of Assassins creed in Egypt. There are multiple cities, too, each with their own unique culture featuring different gods, politics, race relations, and prejudices to uncover, so get ready to eat sand for breakfast. We get a great representation of Egypt by the developers, towns and villages are bustling with citizens, farmers, workers, and soldiers. There's plenty of dangerous (and eventually tamable) wildlife from vicious crocs and hippos lurking in the Nile to lions and hyenas prowling the sand dunes and rocky hills to flamingos and egrets that take flight when you thunder past on horseback. We get also the chance to be present of some major events changing the course of history and meet some of the most iconic/ important faces of that time such as (Caesar, Cleopatra, Ptolemy XIII, Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Ramses II and even Tutankhamun -the last four from the Curse of the pharaohs expansion- ). At some point the game becomes repeatable but in a way you might don't even notice it . Devs provides you with tons of gear pieces- char upgrades so you can be fluid and try different playstyles as long as the story carries on. The parkour system/combat system takes a huge upgrade ,targeting the stealth part, and in my opinion the game becomes the Assassins creed that the fans of the series want after many disappointments that Ubisoft published before Origins (excluding Black Flag). In essence there's a lot of grinding to be done and prepare to be charmed with the beauty of Egyptian civilization, I think its worth giving it a chance on this game even in 2024++

++ Just finished the main story but also done many side quests in order to be able to write a review no only basing of the main quest. Waited two years an a half to play the game and for the devs to fix it and it was worth the waiting. Nightcity is huge, it has tons of quest, lots of weapons- armor (clothes) to modify, nice craft system, big variety of vehicles- appartments, also the game is giving you the chance to pick and play between three lifepaths (every lifepath has its unique dialogue response but doesnt affect the whole plot), +well presented of what the cities that we are living might be in couples of decades (joke) . Overall great experience cd red projekt done it again (faced 4-5 bugs but I was expecting it), worth every second- worth giving it a chance. ++

+++ Just finish the campaign and the two expansions, , decent story development with a nice twist in it!. You can take part on massive battles of the two main rivals of the peloponnesian war, has big variety of armor and weaps, naval battles and ship upgrades, you can meet importand characters of that era, +kill some of the most "famous" greek mythological creatures. The only bad thing is that at the game becomes repeatable cause you reach the point to expect what youll face as the story and explore further. Well played ubisoft Ancient Greece looks amazing, I hope your future titles that is planned to be released, besides valhalla, to be more stealthy cause we are talking about ASSASINS CREED. +++

Plague tales even though it's short duration (17 chapters) it exceeded all my expectations! Great story (not boring at all, makes you develop a bond with the two children/ Amicia n Hugo), great environment (the battle fields, the french countryside amazing!), great atmosphere ( the developers did a great job transfering the whole mindset of the era and gives you the chance to experience it to the fullest). I recommend setting the games language from English to French since tooks place in France of 14th century. Overall it's a great stealth/ adventure ( the stealth mechanics are decent but they won't disappoint you at all) worth buying it!! +++

No words for this masterpiece, you can experience through the game sorrow- love- hapiness- anger- compassion and the list goes on and on. For me 6 years later its still the best game ! Thanks a lot CD RED, cheers

Dragon age its a very constructive game and quite enjoyable, it has a big variety of gear, varies on many playstyles/ roles you can play as long as the campaign develops . Many dialogues has a huge impact on your companions/ story and never becomes boring and repeatable, worth every penny! +++ (didnt face any problem by playing it through steam)
