As a creature of the wild, I am intimately familiar with the abiotic factors that shape our existence. The sun's radiant energy, the soil's mineral composition, the very air we breathe.

As a self-proclaimed scientist, I was pleased to find that Abiotic Factor is surprisingly accurate in its portrayal of ecological principles. The game does a good job of illustrating the interconnections of abiotic and biotic factors. Overall, I found Abiotic Factor to be an enjoyable and informative game. It is a must-play for anyone interested in ecology

Overall really great game to collaborate with fellow scientists on, cant wait for the reactors glow to warm my fur.

Starfield. Ah yes, the game that promised the universe and delivered... a slightly larger less interesting version of Skyrim with spaceships. The highlight of my playthrough was mastering the art of fast travel. Seriously, I could navigate bureaucratic paperwork faster than this game lets you walk across a landing pad. The combat? About as thrilling as watching paint dry in zero gravity. If you're looking for a game to help you catch up on your sleep, Starfield is a must-buy. Otherwise, might I suggest a nice relaxing stroll through the infinitely more interesting world of The Outerworlds?

Game is full of bugs and bots!

Friendly-fire mortar rain? It's like a deadly ballet choreographed by lag and questionable trigger discipline. One moment you're raining hell on the enemy, the next you're a crispy comrade courtesy of your own squad's "support." Oh, and getting into a game? It's like trying to get a decent cuppa at peak hour. Prepare for a queue worthy of any self-respecting socialist utopia (or theme park with questionable ride capacity). But hey, at least it builds anticipation, right? Right?

(Edit: server capacity has been fixed so there has not been any waiting for a while :D)

Completing a mission with zero deaths? More like celebrating surviving the friendly fire, the bugpocalypse, and the server gods' fickle whims. Monetisation barely noticeable, like a shy salesman at a Tupperware party. You want new gear? Sure, go for it. But nobody's judging if you stick with your trusty bug-splattered fatigues.

This game? It's brought my squad closer than ever. Sharing the pain, the laughter, the sheer absurdity of it all. We may occasionally question each other's sanity (especially after the mortar incident), but hey, at least we're not fighting over the last Jaffa Cake.

It's not perfect, but its flaws are part of its charm, like the wonky charm of a pub singalong gone wrong. So grab your friends, prepare for the inevitable friendly fire, and dive into the glorious mess that is Helldivers 2. Just remember, the only good bug is a dead bug... especially if it's not your own mortar sentry.

Now lets go spread managed democracy!

Quite a challenging game that requires teamwork and good communication (No cheating using discord!) can lead to some funny moments and crazy deaths.

if its gonna go wrong it will go wrong!

One launcher for all the games sounds good right? Nope huge updates that means friends with slower connections have to wait hours or just not play at all. I have had the game update 3 times in a row on a few occasions when i have finished a match and had to reset and also means streamlabs wont recognise COD for a while.

Always fun mid stream.

You open COD HQ to play MW2 Multiplayer for it to have to restart and then go into MW2, just so many steps through janky menus please just have a separate launcher and stop trying to monetise it to oblivion . After every update menus feel heavy and sluggish, pretty much constant shader optimisation constantly because it updates so often (I assume for the latest game breaking pay to win skin)

I love call of duty, I love the franchise even with all its bad bits but it just feels like i'm watching it die slowly as it becomes more and more like some mobile game. If that's what you want make it all free to play no a full priced game. That been said I will probably keep buying them and hoping it get better feeding the cycle.

Edit: Since getting MW3 biggest waste of money ever, they break it with every update, still a hacker issue, some good maps but really should of been in MW2 but again its just updated maps from years ago. Should be sold as a DLC at £20 rather than a full game. Also the combined launcher is a pain in the ass still.

Will 100% turn you into a furry in some shape or form and suck you so far out of reality that you don't want to return to the meat world. 10/10 Most costly free game I have owned, I went from a Rift S to an Index with full body tracking just so I can sit in front of a mirror with my other FBT bros.

Also you will look at you virtual self at all times and groups will only form around mirrors, you can try and buck the trend and look away from the mirror but it will drag you back. If you can let yourself get immersed this is way better than real life with about +25% more screaming kids.

Do I regret my time in VRC nope I would spend more time there if I could, you will find friends for life that you will meet IRL, you will find love you will find heartbreak you will experience and see some of the coolest things that people have created, mind blowing quality levels free to explore.

Oh there is plenty cursed shiz somethings no one person should ever see but take the good with the bad, keep the safety setting high avoid the crashers!

Quite a fun game, I bought it a while back and never played it but got around to playing it with some friends online and it has been some awesome fun. Quite a simple chill game with some really challenging levels.

So far I'm five hours in and I have been loving it. I was sceptical about VR so I was slow to adopt it but I relented as I wanted to play Half-Life:Alex. I have always been a big half-life fan and I wanted to play this since it was launched.

Now that I am finally in the game it has not disappointed and made me feel the same wonder that I felt when playing HL2 for the first time. There is a whole bunch of new assets and new models for old assets along with old sounds that you have missed.

This is a good game and in no way a cash grab, it will tug on some nostalgia but in a good way. I just hope this release has given valve the confidence to finish Gordon Freeman's story.

What can I say I enjoy this game and is beautiful and artistic, its a very ambitious game for such a studio like CPR. We are spoiled by polished games like GTA5 that had huge development teams and budgets.

On the graphics front they really have the ascetics down and the feel and life of the city really shows, good game mechanics and enjoyable missions. The RPG elements are dumbed down and you can skip most stealth elements by going full Rambo and have a great time.

Does this game have issue? Yeah Loads. The textures can pop in and out, there is more bugs than a LA no tell motel matres, cars launching through the air, randomly blowing up. Environmental music from one scene carrying over into the next.

The biggest issue is the AI of the pedestrians and drivers, its really poor and can really ruin what seems to be a living scene again I point back to GTA 5 and compare the driving and pedestrian AI there and its far more dynamic and that's a game from 7 years ago now.

I would recommend this game maybe not at full retail, it is buggy but it has been fun for me maybe i'm just easy to please? I would say this game was a victim of its own hype train Ala FO76.
