Skyrim is the equivalent of crack cocaine for RPG immersion lovers and TES fans.

It's seemingly done a lot for gameplay though. I've enjoyed every addition so far. More than 1 active skill to choose between seems amazing if you want to try something different but don't want to level from scratch. Being able to switch between fire modes on some guns is great. And then they've just made some great changes in general. Enemies react more to getting hit, whether it's being dazed after enough bullets or getting an arm shot off when they die, or getting launched due to a full haul of shotgun shells.

Main Game
The 3rd installment in the Metro franchise continues the story of Artyom and his merry band of metro-dwelleres as their journey takes them beyond the Moscow Metro into the unknown radioactive wasteland of Russia all aboard the Aurora train.
The Two Colonels DLC
The action of the 1st DLC cycles between the last part of Metro Exodus and the events that took place in Novosibirsk 1 year before. This DLC gives you the chance to shed some light on the background story of the Novosibirsk arc.
Sam's Story
The events of this DLC take place where the Main Game story ends. After reaching their end goal, Sam leaves the Spartan Order with one goal in mind: reaching his home in San Diego to see if his father survived the nuclear war. In oreder to do so, Sam arrives in the port city of Vladivostok, where he lands a gig as a negotiator between 2 parties in order to get a ticket aboard the Mayflower, a nuclear submarine, his only way back to USA.

Pros:

• A mixture of linear levels and sandbox environments
  
• Dynamic weather system
  
• Day-night cycle
  
• Atmospheric scenery
  
• New Crafting system
  
• Story driven
  
• Choice system (as before)
  
  Cons:
  
  • Level Design part a bit unpolished (would often find myself almost stuck in props)
    
  • The NPC faces are kinda repetitive
    
  • Lack of a main antagonist (instead every act has a villain character)
    
  • Some annoying bugs like one of the NPCs would remain stuck mid air while using an elevator or a very annoying cloud sync bug

Shadows accompany you everywhere. It is the visual flair of Iris.Fall that most immediately hits you. The mostly monochromatic graphics, the smooth animation, and the origami-like artstyle combine to produce a beautiful and cohesive world. Navigating that world involves switching between light and dark forms of your character at appropriately placed books. This approach makes sense, but does mean that the exploration is a little linear given you are effectively just moving between each transformation point.
Explaining the broad narrative of Iris.Fall would involve spoiling too much of the plot, so suffice it to say that you play as a girl who appears to be separated from a dark, shadowy form of herself. To reconcile this, she must follow a typically mischievous black cat to unravel the mystery of her identity. The papery visuals expands out to include many aspects of childhood, from playrooms to creepy clown-like jack in the boxes.

The Good:
- Beautifully stylistic
- Effective use of light and shadow
- Interesting mix of exploration and puzzles

The Bad:
- A couple of perspective issues
- Short
- Some frustrating puzzles

This game made me hate people so much that everytime I see random humans on the street I instinctively imagine their deaths.

Game resume's resume(for ppl who know nothing of the Witcher universe)
Drug enhanced monster slayer and former crew member hunts down his old crew for harrasing his adopted daughter while taking side jobs 'cause his journey is pretty damn expensive.

Personal opinion:
Overall, nice environment, very realistic and vibrant characters ( when i mean realistic characters i think of yennefer, of course, who is a very bossy, b****y and know-it-all girlfriend. Damn, i hate her f***ing guts.)
The main and side quests are well written, most of the time there's a plot twist. Regarding the contract rewards, it feels like you are running a f***ing charity.
This game, like all games, has its own bugs. If you're playing just for the story, probably it won't bother you. But if you're a completionist and/or an achievemnt wh**e like me, then it will annoy the flip outta you.
Oh, and btw, the horse....umm....he's kinda special...
Another good thing is it has multiple endings ~30 or so.

Overall rating: 9.99/10
Would definitely play it again and again.
Definitely worth the money.
AND DEFINETELY TRY THE BOOKS
