Hey, you. You're finally awake.

You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there. Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and be halfway to Hammerfell. You there. You and me - we shouldn't be here. It's these Stormcloaks the Empire wants. We're all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief. Shut up back there! And what's wrong with him, huh? Watch your tongue. You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King. Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion. But if they've captured you... Oh gods, where are they taking us? I don't know where we're going, but Sovngarde awaits. No, this can't be happening. This isn't happening. Hey, what village are you from, horse thief? Why do you care? A Nord's last thoughts should be of home. Rorikstead. I'm... I'm from Rorikstead.

...looks like the Thalmor are with him.

General Tullius, sir. The headsman is waiting. Good. Let's get this over with! Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me. Look at him. General Tullius the Military Governor. And it looks like the Thalmor are with him. Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this.

Why are we stopping? Why do you think? End of the line. Let's go. Shouldn't keep the gods waiting for us.

This game isn't worth writing out an actual review anymore. I'll just say I am a player from Overwatch 1 with nearly 900 hours and this stinking pile of garbage isn't worth your time, although this is redundant as the game only has probably 2% of real positive reviews.

Co-op is pretty much unplayable. BF and I kept being disconnected in the loading screen, couldn't find a fix online, just many other people complaining about the same thing where the game randomly disconnects, which these complaints have spanned at LEAST over the last year with 343 apparently knowing that this is an issue.
Pretty disheartening given that I'm sure this would've been a blast to play, but this issue is preventing that and is being neglected.

I really appreciate the old gods helping me set the table. It really helps when my husband and son don't appreciate how good of a housewife I am.

At first, I was unsure about the game. It's not a game that's very friendly to newer players, luckily I had a friend who was able to walk me through things and I understood way better that way. The starting area and the skill trees, for example, are quite overwhelming when you're new and it's not the easiest to understand.

Once you get out into the field, things will get MUCH better. I got Iceborne nearly right away, and the clutch claw has been a LIFESAVER for me so far. It's allowed me to get more hits in on monsters I can't get close to with my dual daggers. Curse that Legiana floating just above the ground! Fighting monsters has a nice challenge to it that makes you feel powerful once you defeat them. When you fall in battle, you will understand what not to do.

I highly recommend this game, it's slowly becoming one of my favorites because I just love the world surrounding it. There's so much to this game that even after 70ish hours of me playing this (as of this post) I feel like I've only touched the tip of the iceberg! If you're getting this game, you should definitely get Iceborne, as well. There's so much content that gets added after the main-game and more challenges.

EDIT: Yup, like 500+ hours later, I very much enjoy this game and am looking forward to when MH Rise comes out. This is my all-time favorite game, there's just so much to do! I've learned several weapons by this point, my favorites being Insect Glaive and Light Bowgun. This is a game 100% worth trying and pushing through the hard parts, it's very rewarding in my opinion.

ALSO, if you're having trouble running the game: My previous graphics card was a GTX 1650, and the game ran barely 60fps before, this is due to a bunch of unnecessary processes that CAPCOM implemented, and there are a few mods that help with this issue. On Nexusmods, search for Strackers Loader and Performance Booster and Plugin Extender, after getting those two mods it made ALL the difference and I had consistently very good frames.

Disclaimer: I haven't played the full extent of the game yet. I may update my review one day.

We Happy Few has a very interesting story, surrounding a dystopian, delusional, doped up society. I have had lots of fun playing so far.

The game looks great, I love the combat, though once you learn it, it becomes very easy. The stealth is my favorite part of the game, as that is how I prefer to play.
You can customize the difficulty for stealth, combat, and survival needs to suit your taste. I enjoy the punishing survival needs, as you will be penalized for not eating or drinking.

You have to make efforts to blend in, such as wearing certain clothes to conform to different societies, and be careful to not fall back into the habit of running, jumping, crouching, or staring at certain characters, or they will become suspicious/annoyed with you.
If you don't take your joy, everything looks bleak and sad. If you do, everything looks very bright and happy, and you'll blend in a bit better. You will also begin to forget everything about your past. Be careful about withdrawals! This part of the game is extremely fascinating in concept, but it's not really critical unfortunately, so you can very easily avoid it, especially if you can get your hands on that sweet Sunshine.

While I have only seen Act I and a bit of II, from what I can see, each character has their own perks and flaws, and a few of the upgradable skills are different.

There's a huge amount of content in the game, so you'll be playing for quite a while.

There are some strange things, though. As other reviews have said, there are several reused characters and models. I was travelling through one of the cities and every time I saw a Bobby, it was always "Constable Waterhouse" around every corner. It was rather annoying, and it became rather obvious that they duplicated characters.
There's also several minor bugs. Sometimes people die or get stuck in floors. Once they become broken and stuck in a certain path (this one has actually caused me to be stuck until I died in one of the stealth missions, but this is the only time).

Overall, I'll still recommend. Only get it while it's on sale, I got it at $12 from the summer sale and I say that it was worth it. While it's a decent game, it's definitely not worth the $60 price tag that should've gone down since it's release - I was very surprised to see the minor bugs when I played, and the reuse of models is very off-putting for a game at that price.

Really fascinating interactive story-telling. I love the different styles each section has. It's one of the best games I've played.

Very dark and captivating. It's rather short and linear, I finished the game in around 3 hours, however, it isn't rushed or dragged along. As another review said, it's the perfect length for the content.

It's been a good while since I've played it, but I never made a review for it. It's one of those games that really sticks to you - I find myself thinking about it randomly sometimes.

Given the length of the game, I'd recommend getting it on sale if that bothers you. Either way, I think this game is a must.

I really enjoyed Darkest Dungeon. It's challenging, and sometimes very stressful. You have to make careful decisions, and one wrong step can send everyone to their deaths. For me, there have been times where I love it, sometimes where it is extremely frustrating, and other times where I've gotten emotional over lost heroes.
The game is very grindy - if that is not your style then the game may potentially not be for you. You will have to level heroes up, grind for gold and relics, etc.

“Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer”

I've seen some reviews complain about the RNG, you have to remember it goes both ways. While sometimes you can get screwed by it, just as often you can be saved by it. In my experience, the RNG isn't the only reason I've had members of my party die, I've always had a part to play and my decisions have always mattered. Sometimes things will go wrong - your heroes will get stressed (as they should, facing unimaginable horrors), and many will die. Don't ever go in expecting that everyone will survive and it will go fine - anything can happen and you will have to improvise, adapt, overcome.

"So steel yourself, and remember: There can be no bravery without madness."

There are mods that can change a lot of aspects of the gameplay - if you want it to be less difficult, less grindy, etc. It's up to personal choice, be sure to browse through them and pick whatever suits your tastes.

I recommend it, I never thought it'd be my style of game until I tried it. It's very fun for those who are up for a challenge.

I got this game as a gift, and I played this game fully through and got every achievement. I think the game is amazing, but there are some major issues I had with this game.

Pros:
- Graphics are aesthetically pleasing, the simplicity I thought was great.
- The beginning really pulls you into the game, and the story from then on.
- Puzzles for most areas are fun
- Open exploration
- Flying!!

Cons:
- Story isn't super clear, other than the general gist of the islands are being tainted by darkness/void, because it seemed like there was a deeper story, but I'm currently unsure.
- A couple of the puzzles are so difficult that it got really frustrating at points, although that's my opinion, and I would usually take a break during these points.
- You do so much for so little reward. You do so much to find everything, and solve puzzles, and you don't do anything for the ending. Nothing really happens, and it's so dissatisfying.

I'll recommend it, it's a good game, but I feel as though you should get this during a sale.

My friends decided to buy it for me while it was on sale. Runs pretty well on my potato computer and runs better than Overwatch somehow, only issue was input lag but the fix was to find the keyboard settings and turn the stuff to long and slow instead of short and fast. Then I could finally shoot without my shots taking 10 seconds to register.

So fun to play with my friends for all sorts of things, and the campaign is really fun too. Not any complaints I can think of.
Even if you doubt your PC can run it, give it a try. If it doesn't run, you can always just refund it in the end anyway.
