Campaign was excellent, was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, really fun and sometimes even scary.

Multiplayer is genuinely the worst cod multiplayer of all time, it's even worse than Cold War which I thought was impossible.
the new movement system is complete trash, it feels like you're on roller skates it's just ridiculous.

The Maps are 100% the worst maps we have ever seen in COD to date. They have so many vertical layers and have literally no flow, just feels AI generated.

The weapons are all trash except the XM4, meaning every game is just XM4 only... try using ANY other weapon and you will get destroyed, sniping is the worst ever in this game, it feels like complete rubbish, aiming feels extremely off and you get hitmarkers for days while you get beamed from across the map in 4 shots with the XM4 which also has the fire rate of an SMG. COMPLETELY UNBALANCED.

Zombies just looks terrible, probably not even going to try it.

On top of all that, the game is priced at £70 which is equivalent $90~, how is that even allowed? $90 for the base game, no extra DLC bs. It is without a doubt to force people to subscribe to gamepass, the scam subscription service that is aiming to turn gaming into a Netflix style- you own nothing platform.

Yet another absolutely terrible disappointment from a multi-billion dollar company that is so insultingly lazy and greedy.

-Worst COD campaign of all time, ultra short, "open combat missions" that are just parts of the warzone maps with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI to kill
-2 or 3 new maps which of course are the just atrociously ♥♥♥♥♥, then with remastered mw2 (2009) maps which feel terrible to play in this day and age
-Insulting progression system, to unlock a weapon you need to complete daily challenges, which more often than not are glitched and do not work which means having to wait till the next day to try again.
-Out of place, cringey, insulting, immature cosmetics, you will now see Groot , Nicki Minaj, 21 savage skins running around like absolute morons with cringey voice lines killing you. These feel extremely out of place and especially insulting to long time players since these are running around OG 2009 Maps.
-Skill Based Matchmaking, I have yet to meet a singular individual who enjoys this system, this has nearly entirely ruined COD for the last 4 years, you will have one good game then atleast 3 ultra bad games will follow and that's without fail, the algorithm of the SBMM will make it so it is imperative that you will have bad games.
-Ground War, same as MW2(2022) completely unplayable, boring, hollow, useless game mode that nobody will play.
-Zombies, just the warzone map but with zombies in it, that's it, the most lazy effort literally ever.
-Barely any new weapons, only 1 new sniper rifle, insulting, lazy.


Why do we buy it every year???

They didn't have to hurt us like that....

Amazing game with jaw dropping visuals and an outstanding but heartbreaking story. The characters are all memorable and add a lot to the story.

The game-play is a definite improvement from Innocence, fully upgrade the crossbow and the game gets really fun. Exploring the lush landscapes of southern France feels so nice accompanied with Hugo and the team.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good story, I hope this isn't the end of the plague tale games!

A good game with a lot of memorable moments tarnished by outdated game design

If you're into space games and are only interested in this for space exploration then you will be highly disappointed, the space exploration and even the planet exploration is quite frankly terrible. It's soulless, bland, and useless.

However, if you're a fan of the previous Bethesda titles, this will feel very familiar. Personally I feel Bethesda shines brightest with their quests; they're intriguing, fun and interesting, they get you invested and completely immersed. In this case they do not fall short.

Starfield does not disappoint in the role playing aspect, you're free to do whatever you want and however you want, your actions do have consequences and the dialogue options you take can and will affect the outcome of certain situations.

There's a vast amount of weapons, all fully customizable to fit your play style, honestly the combat and gunplay in this game is solid, it's responsive, meaty and really fun.

There's a huge issue I have with Starfield and many others have pointed this out already. The loading screens..... there are so many loading screens, all the time, you cannot escape them. There's one for entering your ship, leaving a planet, leaving the system, landing on a planet, leaving your ship, entering a building, entering a room within the building, it feels extremely outdated, and it's so noticeable, I'd say it really impacts on the immersion.


We need to give credit to Bethesda... a AAA company that has released a finished product in working condition and not filled with virtue signalling, this is a rare occurrence nowadays....

Finally a game that doesn't take itself seriously and prioritises FUN over everything

Extremely fun game filled to the brim full of content in a massive open world that's fully available to explore right from the get go. Multiple sports to jump into, each with their own set of obtainable gear and customisation options.

An epic return from the same guys who brought us Steep a few years ago which was a fantastic winter sports game, now both their games are on Steam FINALLY.

With the current sale this is a big steal

Game barely starts, game barely runs, game is riddled with micro-transactions, cringey skins designed for children.

This is an insult to gaming and even bigger insult to battlefield fans. Even 70% Off this is a massive rip-off, hope this company crumbles into bankruptcy

This is definitely one of the best games released this year.

It doesn't quite live up to the original Dying Light but it's a really fun game to play.

Parkour feels really smooth and the combat is fluid and rewarding, unfortunately there are no guns in this game the reason for this is explained in the lore of the game but still, I wanna shoot some zombies man...

Graphics are great, the map is big and varied, soundtrack is decent. Just a good game overall.

campaign is good


Multiplayer though.... oh dear oh dear, it's genuinely a pain to play. I feel insulted whenever I play this game. It's like the developers decided to ignore the fact that gaming is meant to be fun and instead they went ahead and crafted a game that makes you feel like a piece of trash.

I've never seen a game company so out of touch with their fanbase, they completely ignore our feedback and remove features that we have loved for years and replaced them with abysmal atrocious ideas.

The maps are genuinely the worst maps I have ever seen in a multiplayer game, sure they look but they definitely do not play good.

The weapon balancing is an absolute disgraceful joke, there are only a few viable weapons to use rendering 75% of weapons completely useless. I have yet to have fun in multiplayer.

The SBMM is absolutely insultingly atrociously BAD, you have to sweat your absolute arse off to maintain a positive K/D.

I really thought Infinity Ward would have learned from MW2019 and listened to player feedback in order to create the perfect sequel that would live up to its name (Mw2), but oh boy oh boy did they fail in doing so.

And to top it all of, more than half the calling cards are pride flags for the LGBT community, who on god's earth asked for this? It is quite honestly an insult, in this mature war video game this has absolutely no place here. You can't even represent your own country, you can't even represent your own sexuality if you're not part of the LGBT community.

This game has a long way to go before I can recommend it, at £60 this is an absolute rip off. I regret buying, I regret playing it but I will continue playing it because I'm a f*cking idiot.

An Atmospheric Gem

This is a mature game set in an extremely high detailed world full of disgusting and mysterious occurrences where you will be exploring, solving fairly complicated puzzles and shooting disgustingly weird creatures with a small arsenal of weapons.

The world is astoundingly immersive, full of mystery and eeriness paired with a good soundtrack that matches the aesthetic. The game really reminds me of the films Prometheus and Alien Covenant.

This game has combat but it can be slow and frustrating at times but still manages to be satisfying. The progression is sometimes tied to completing puzzles that get harder throughout the game, the game definitely doesn't insult your intelligence unlike most games today.

Took me around 6-7 hours to complete, I tried to explore everything the game offered.

Most negative reviews I've seen are from people expecting an action packed shooter like DOOM, this was never advertised as such. This game doesn't cater for the immature gamers with a tiny attention span that most games try to appeal to nowadays. This game isn't meant to be rushed.

Scorn deserves high praise for its extremely well crafted world that makes it stand out.
