An absolute masterclass in live service gaming.

The base gameplay systems are all good, its a well made third person shooter with interesting enemies, cool mechanics and well made gunplay. For the most part is well balanced and each weapon does tend to have its own role, though a focus on anti-heavy weapons is very strong the harder difficulty you choose to play on.

Where it really shines, however, is the persistent and evolving campaign map that players interact with. A constantly evolving and shifting campaign experience with objectives that create a really intriguing story with plenty of room for mass speculation from the community. These objectives really help to foster a large community feeling and create a sense of "being a part of something larger" where individual missions will sometimes contribute less than 1% towards the overall accomplishment of taking a planet or completing an objective. The way in which new events or even new enemies to face are added in with little fanfair, leaving players to discover terrifying new threats is genius. At this point I'm convinced that Arrowhead are mostly a PR firm that decided to make a game.

The theming itself is empowering, yet also amusing (if in a particularly dark way), with players getting to feel both completely expendable and also like death dealing gods at the same time.

I'd highly recommend this game to anyone regardless of how casual or hardcore their gaming experience is, as it has a place for each.

Played Divinity 2 for a full year with a 4 player co-op group. Doing the same with Baldurs Gate 3 again and also playing through a SP playthrough so I can catch more of the story.

An absolute master-crafted game, definitely once in a generation kind of title. If you have the money for it, buy it, you won't regret it.

Early Access Review
A decent upgrade upon doorkickers 1, which was already one of my favourite game. Doorkickers 2 has extra functionality, lots of QoL improvements, better graphics and a few extra layers of strategy.

I bought it when it was first released in Early Access and so it was very barebones at the time, but the updates are coming in thick and fast!

Great game for those who love something a bit more tactical and puzzling.

Creating a new review for Squad following the latest Update 6.0

The game has taken a huge turn and feels so much better with the new Infantry Combat Overhaul. I've noticed players working together a lot more in firefights now and I can't wait to see everyone get to grips with it and how the gameplay meta evolves.

I've played this game for almost 10 years now, with the changes made in the last 4 or so years continuously pushing the game to be more casual and degrading the essence of the community.

What I've seen in the last few hours since update 6 was released has restored my faith in this game and I've actually started to enjoy it again, instead of finding it a chore.

Long live the ICO

I just want to express how terrifying this game really is, my lack of hours is down to my cowardice, not any problem with the game. I've seen YouTubers go through it and by god it looks horrific. I played about 2 hours of it and had to turn it off and just leave it as I felt like I was in shock xD, really makes you immersed about just how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ you are.

I'll probably return to it at a later date.
