Haven't used it too much yet but so far it's very helpful. Find some good routines to follow online and just keep putting in a little bit of time each day.
So far i've noticed a lot of improvement in various shooters.
I used to play the aim maps a lot in CS and I think this is way better.
I've also seen Aimlabs is free but I've never tried it.

This game is whack. Straight up. Boring AF. Anybody who like this game is a cuck. They got a case of Ligma.

Wow TellTale really knocked it out the park with Tales From Night City. 10/10. Would walk and talk again.

I can sum these games up in two words: frustration simulator.

If you're the special kind of psychopath who enjoys tearing out your own nose hairs while repeatedly bashing your head into a brick wall painted with ghost pepper sauce then these games may be for you.

If you are new to StALKER in 2022 just play Anomaly. It's free on ModDB and much closer to the 'open world', 'play your own way' style. Not that it's less frustrating but you'll at least enjoy the atmosphere and gameplay until the honeymoon phase wears off. And then you won't feel bad that you paid real money just to get your ass kicked over and over for no reason.

Bought on sale for $10. Disappointed.

If you are a veteran of the series expect a rehash of the originals but devoid of fun and excitement. If you liked DMC2 maybe you will like this one.

If you are new to the series play the reboot, DMC 3, or DMC 1. Even DMC4 is much more fun and I thought it was just above average when I played it.

6.5/10. Buy on sale if at all.
I'll recommend several much better games below, play them first if you haven't already.

What I liked about the game:
The graphics are good. The sound is good. The environments are what you would expect but they feel authentic.


What I disliked about the game:
The gameplay is lacking overall. Aside from a few simple puzzles, there isn't much to do other than walk around and follow a rather linear path through the game.
This game is way too short. I cleared the game in 6 hours and that includes reading everything I could find, and exploring all of the areas.
That also includes watching the credits.

The WORST Part of the game:
The story starts picking up just before the game is over. Kind of like RAGE 1, except there's stuff to do in that game.

Games you should play instead:

If you want a truly immersive and terrifying outer space adventure, check out Alien:Isolation.

If you want a truly unnerving narrative masterpiece that will keep you up all night and shatter your emotional fabric, check out SOMA. Seriously, if you haven't played SOMA, skip this game and buy it right now.

If you want an excruciating, seat-of-the-pants thrill ride through a haunted house of horrors, go grab Outlast.

If you want a deeper dive into the world of Lovecraft, pick up Call of Cthulu. CoC has plenty of rough edges, but it's rather enjoyable and offers much more in terms of content, gameplay, and lore.

If you are just looking to spend a few hours running around a space station on mars left clicking your way through six hours of space hallways while wondering if anything scary happens (spoilers: it doesn't), this game may be for you.

Now that I'm done writing this, I kinda want a refund.

Brings back memories playing SoR 2 as a kid, still fun. Buy it on sale.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is short but sweet.
The stealth segments feel like an attempt to artificially increase the length of the game.
The characters and story are good.
I enjoyed it. Pick up on sale, finish in a weekend.

I never really got into Total War until Warhammer 2. Played Shogun 2 a bit, and tried Rome 2. Didn't really fall in love with either.
I liked the game so much, I bouth WH1 and most of the DLC stuff.

The fantasy setting really allows the Total war formula to shine.
In the other TW games, I always felt like my units were simply fighting copies of themselves.
Warhammer brings the game to life in a beautiful clash of fantasy violence.

Total War has a lot of depth and strategy. There is a pretty steep learning curve initially.
Once you start to figure out the mechanics, battles become brilliantly intense.

I strongly recommend having WH1 for the mortal empires campaign.
While the initial factions are a lot of fun to play and offer a ton of value on their own, mortal empires brings in a ton more factions and increases the scale by magnitudes.

Buy this game. It's wonderful.

Cuphead calls it's difficulty 'regular'.
It's 'regular' in the same way hair loss is 'regular' for chemo patients.

This game is harder than quitting cigarettes.
And not always fair.

Sometimes the controls don't work right.
And just because you've memorized a boss' patterns doesn't mean you will beat them any time soon.

Cuphead has as much balance as a toddler on a tightrope.
and the difficulty does not scale well. Sometimes a level can be finished in one try, followed by another that takes at least an hour

They should fire the person who made the dragon level.
And blacklist them from game development.
and blacklist their descendants from game development, too.

Is the game pretty?
Definitely.
But would you sleep with someone who has herpes just because they're a 10?
If you said 'maybe', I think we're in the same boat.

I love and hate this game at the same time.
The same way I feel about some of my family members.

The gameplay is simple, but sometimes janky.
I completely gave up on the 'parry' system.
The game may as well have told me to block bullets with a flyswatter.

Some of the upgrades are total garbage. The kind you incenerate because it isn't good enough for a trashcan.
And maybe it has the plague in it.

I'm not convinced that anything does more than .001 damage, even the kamehameha ripoff posing as a 'super' move.
It's about as super as peter parker before the spider bite.

I pray that an asteroid hits the earth so I don't have to suffer through any more of this mess.
I can't quit. This game is addictive.

Every time I finish a level, I feel a slight sense of satisfaction, followed by abysmal dread. Because I know I have to fight some other monstrosity from a prohibition-era cartoon.

Get ready to be stomped on by everything from sunflowers to candy corns to the devil himself.

I recommend you take beta blockers before each session to keep your heart rate under control.
If you're a recovering/recovered addict, this game may induce sudden urges to relapse.

You have been warned, and good luck.

I'm gonna beat it.
I'm gonna win.
Because this is America.
And I smash cups when I get angry.

EDIT: Several years later. Finally beat the devil.
