Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus features a strong story with a mix of serious and lighter moments, which may make it difficult for players to connect with the narrative fully. This blend might leave some players wishing for a more straightforward experience.

The gameplay has both strengths and weaknesses. The movement and shooting feel less accurate than in the previous game, and the level design makes stealth less appealing. Running and shooting often seem to be the most effective approach. The side quests and collectibles do not add much value, and some areas lack interest.

In conclusion, this game has some issues and feels incomplete in some parts, but it still has notable moments. While it may not be a top title, it offers engaging action and a strong storyline.

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a direct prequel to The New Order, introducing eight new levels that begin just before the main story. The game maintains the same design and gameplay, featuring familiar visuals and weapons, making it a natural extension of the series.

The gameplay is fast-paced and engaging similar to earlier titles. Players will experience the same exciting combat and detailed environments. While it doesn't introduce many new features, it still offers a solid experience.

In conclusion, this game functions as an expansion that provides good gameplay and atmosphere, making it a valuable addition to the series.

Note: If your game crashes at the end of Chapter 7, navigate to Steam\steamapps\common\Wolfenstein The Old Blood\base\bink\loading\dlc1_c08 and locate the file named "dlc1_c08_exitpl_hg.bik." This file contains the cutscene that occurs at the end of Chapter 7. You can either delete or rename it. After doing so, replay Chapter 7; instead of the cutscene, you'll see a black loading screen for a few seconds before Chapter 8 begins.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is a game that creates an interesting atmosphere. Each chapter is unique, making the game engaging. Some textures look old, but the visuals are still excellent.

The gameplay is exciting, with smooth combat that keeps players focused. The mix of shooting and simple stealth adds variety to encounters. To enable in-built anti-aliasing, open the console in-game (Ctrl + ~) and type: r_multisamples x (replace "x" with the value you want, like 2, 4, or 8).

In conclusion, Wolfenstein: The New Order provides a captivating experience. It is a notable shooter with a rich atmosphere and engaging gameplay.

Battlefield V impresses with its beautiful graphics and great gunplay. The game features a more detailed movement system that lets players navigate the battlefield differently. Teamwork is crucial, as playing with a squad can change the game. There’s also a good amount of content and character cosmetics to unlock, keeping players engaged if they are interested.

However, the game doesn’t feel as immersive as Battlefield 1, and while I haven't played much multiplayer, I did notice that the little amount I played showed that teamwork works far better. I’ve seen in most reviews that cheating is a major issue in that mode, especially on official servers in Asia.

In conclusion, Battlefield V offers very good gameplay. In multiplayer mode, it stands out for its focus on teamwork and solid mechanics. Despite its issues with cheating and lack of ongoing support, it still provides a rewarding experience.

Battlefield 1 is an excellent single-player game, featuring five main War Stories(excluding the prologue) that allow you to experience World War I from different characters' perspectives. Each story is unique, which keeps the campaign engaging and captivating.

The graphics and sound are impressive, even after eight years. The game includes beautiful settings, realistic lighting, weather effects, and destructible areas that enhance the overall experience. I haven’t explored the multiplayer mode, but knowing that the servers are still active is reassuring.

The game is well optimized; even in intense fight situations with all graphic settings set to ultra, I got around 80 fps with my RTX 3050 (mobile) GPU, which is not the case with most AAA titles. The game is extremely optimized in terms of FPS, improving even with ultra graphics.

In conclusion, Battlefield 1 is a strong choice for those interested in single-player stories. Its unique characters, beautiful graphics, and excellent sound provide an engaging experience.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a different type of game compared to the usual Tomb Raider series. It features a top-down camera view and allows for local multiplayer, making it more focused on fast-paced action and quick puzzle-solving instead of exploration. The game looks impressive, especially with its lighting effects, like the warm glow from your torch or the cool blue light from magical staffs, which help you see in dark areas.

I played Temple of Osiris after playing Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light as the first isometric game in the series. I have seen many people complaining about bugs and game crashes, but I haven't faced this issue, like a game crash at least once. This might be a concern in co-op mode, but I haven't played that mode.

The level design is well done, with challenges that feel fair. Even if you die, the game has well-placed checkpoints to lessen difficulty. You can collect gems that unlock chests containing rings and relics as you play. These items can improve your abilities, like increasing damage or creating bigger explosions. Some items even have negative effects, balancing out their benefits.

Overall, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris offers good gameplay. Its focus is on action and puzzle-solving, combined with appealing visuals and thoughtful design.

Max Payne 3 maintains the dark feel of the earlier games while introducing a new setting and new challenges. The gameplay stays true to what it is, with features like Bullet Time and the Painkiller health system, plus new things like a cover system and the ability to roll.

The story is interesting, with great cutscenes and strong voice acting. The other characters are well-cast, adding more depth to the story. The game feels like a movie, making every moment feel important. If you are very good at English, you might not have trouble understanding Max’s narration in the game.

However, if your English is mediocre or basic, it might be harder to follow the entire story, as some or more of the dialogues use advanced English, and Max slang seems a bit too fast. It’s a good idea to turn on subtitles and look up any unfamiliar words to understand the meaning better.

If you want to enable V-Sync, make sure to disable the "Exclusive Screen" option in the graphics settings. With the "Exclusive Screen" option turned on, V-Sync doesn’t work properly.

Overall, Max Payne 3 offers exciting action and a strong story, along with great graphics, easy controls, and smooth gameplay.

Raji: An Ancient Epic presents a beautiful view of Indian culture and mythology. At first, it seems like a strong game from a new developer. However, as I played more, it became clear that the game lacked depth. Many players may think of the Prince of Persia series when playing, and unfortunately, Raji does not reach that same level of quality.

The game takes about 5 to 6 hours to finish. The gameplay moves slowly and does not create an engaging experience, making it hard to stay interested. Many parts feel empty and drag on, which can lead to boredom.

On average, I got around 115 to 120 FPS with the highest graphic settings and around 42-47 FPS while turning on all ray tracing options. I turned off global illumination and reflection settings in ray tracing to improve my FPS. The game even looks good if you turn off ray tracing completely.

In conclusion, while Raji: An Ancient Epic is visually impressive and shows the developers' hard work, it falls short in gameplay and story.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is a well-designed entry in the franchise, showing a clear understanding of what players appreciate in earlier games. The development team addresses concerns from Conviction, which leaned more toward action. Blacklist strikes a strong balance between stealth and action, appealing to a wide audience.

The game brings back classic elements from titles like Chaos Theory, enhanced with modern graphics and improved mechanics. The playstyle system promotes stealth techniques, while the execute ability from Conviction offers a useful option when stealth fails, allowing for flexible gameplay.

However, it's important to note that the game's co-op and multiplayer servers are officially shut down by Ubisoft. To unlock the DLC content, players can download a file from the below provided link and paste the file contents into the "src" folder in the game directory where it was installed. This manual installation is necessary, as the DLC features are also locked by Ubisoft.

In conclusion, Splinter Cell: Blacklist successfully combines the strengths of the series into a smooth experience.

Hitman: Absolution is bit different from other games in the series in terms of narration and gameplay. The gameplay is easier than its predecessors, and the story is interesting and well-made. The plot is more engaging than in earlier titles, making it a special addition to the franchise.

If you are looking for the same gameplay as Blood Money, this game might not meet your expectations. However, if you approach Absolution with a willing attitude, you will find it to be one of the best stealth games available. The focus on storytelling adds a new element. If you notice issues like no audio in cutscenes, go to the display options in the game and turn off exclusive full-screen mode to fix the problem.

Overall, Hitman: Absolution has an engaging plot and good gameplay.
