TL;DR
Zero Performance Issues Personally, Excited to Play more, Will update review once ive reached max HR, Thus far its a 9/10 -- If you enjoyed MH:World You'll enjoy MH:Wilds.
```````````````````

In regards to the games optimization, maybe im just getting lucky like i did with Cyberpunk2077 on release, Ive had zero issues thus far and its been running like a dream - all max settings etc.

Onto my thoughts for the actual game, Ive been playing since it released earlier today, and havent been able to put it down, i'm 7 hours in and have just finished Chapter 1,
This was very obviously meant to be a continuation in the style of Monster Hunter World, Rather than the classic MH Style that we've seen in other recent titles like Rise. So if you enjoyed Monster Hunter World, you'll love Monster Hunter Wilds, Its a new location, New story, and in regards to the actual gameplay in which is the whole reason we all play these games, its more of what made World great, but theyve further refined it to feel a whole lot more fluid.

The game introduces the ability to equip 2 weapons to your loadout, These are able to be switched mid fight, but in order to do so you have to mount - switch weapon - unmount, which doesnt leave much timing left to capitalize on knockdowns, BUT what it does allow you to do, is to be more prepared for various monster types by having two weapons that cover eachothers elemental weaknesses, and take a more methodical approach to which monsters you hunt, as opposed to what i always did, and just try to scale the highest physical damage possible and fight anything in sight, although that remains completely valid.

All in all, im eagerly anticipating the next time i can log onto the game and enjoy more of what it has to offer, which is a feeling that i rarely get with games, but monster hunter consistently manages to do it.

Ive got plenty of game to play still, So once ive finished the campaign + reached max HR ill be sure to update the review, but thus far id give the game a solid 9/10

LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD

Far Cry 5 has the polished smooth gameplay mechanics that Far Cry 4 has, and the amazing addictive story that Far Cry 3 has, the difference between FC3 and FC5 is that FC3 didnt leave much attatchment to the game after Vaas died in the last quarter, where as this game leaves you hooked the entire time, the only disappointing thing is, is that the ending is virtually the same as FC3, Die - Or Walk Away. The Co-op doesnt save your progress, youre essentially just helping your friend and playing together for the experience, your friend is mechanically the same as a gun for hire and if you make story progress said friend would have to play through the story again in their own time. I reccommend the game as the story and mechanics had me hooked all the way through, and the game itself is absolutely beautiful and i cant wait for the DLC to be released, just disappointed on how they handled the co-op system, how a game in this modern time like this doesnt have NG+, and how the ending was based on the same structure as FC3. Only Reason I would rank it higher than FC3 is because the last quarter of the game remained to have me hooked, unlike how in 3 after Vaas died you had no attatchment to the islands you travelled to.
No Game Breaking Bugs,
Graphics are F**cking Amazing,
Really Fun with Friends even though friends progress in the story isnt saved,
Story Is Thrilling and Capitivating untill the end where it falls off short.
8.5/10

Dark Souls 3:
This will be a short and simple review.

First things first:
Replayability,
This game has tons of replayability from speedruns, pvp, making new builds, trying to beat the bosses in new ways, or just doing the harder difficulties with new game+ (NG+)

Second Thing:
Difficulty,
For those whom are dark souls veterens, this game will be enjoyable as it brings a new sense of challenge via bosses, and also screwing with our veteren minds with the white summon rings, or coming across a multiplayer ghost when infact its an invader thats going to wreck your sh*t, But the game is still a good introduction to the Dark Souls series if you haven't played it before, as you will have to follow a steep learning curve (as we all did) but you will still enjoy the game for what it is.

Definetly reccommend the game for Dark Souls fans and Newcomers, definetly worth its price maybe even more, but if you get it on a sale, then just know that you just scored the bargain of your life.

Early Access Review
I have Played a total of 50minutes of Killing Floor 2, and plan on playing a whole lot more.
I have Just beat my first map on Normal Difficulty, at Normal Length which consists of 7 rounds + Boss.
Difficulties.
-Normal
-Hard
-Suicide
-Hell on Earth
Each difficulty will consist of each ai behaving differently compared to a different difficulty.
There are 3 Types of Lobbies.
-Short: 4 waves + Boss wave.
-Normal: 7 waves + Boss wave.
-Long: 10 waves + Boss wave.
The game has a very economic basing to it as Killing Floor did aswell as this its Sequel. Money (Dosh, yes it is literally called Dosh.) plays a big part of the game, and even with me getting a crap ton of headshots within 1 normal length game, im still a level 0 commando, and theres 25 levels total, perk trees are suited for each class for which makes you comfortable. There are many types of Zombies, and Screams that make you say OH SH*T, because you may not see them, but you will definetly hear them, it is an action - packed mass genocide of zombies, and fun for the WHOLE family... yes. even the children.
All jokes aside the Sequel Killing Floor 2 is a great game, and i Intend on playing regularly in the future.
My Rating is 9/10
My reasoning, is because every game has its Flaws, This doesnt have Many, and definetly has NONE that would make you regret buying this game.
