A must play game. Might be worth waiting for a discount, though.

i think it has enough content for a few hours

It made Monster Hunter Wilds enjoyable.

woah it's been 4 hours already?

Sniper Elite 4 is easily one of the best co-op stealth games I’ve ever played. It nails what so many other games get wrong: Keeping stealth fun without constant save-scumming. The large, open maps are forgiving, so one small mistake doesn’t mean an instant reload. Instead, the game uses an awareness system where enemies gradually become more alert and their suspicion spreads across the map. Even if a body is spotted, enemies only search for a bit before calming down, letting you recover without ruining the entire mission. Also, crucially, it never fully locks you out of stealth, and you can always recover from any amount of enemy awareness.

We got the deluxe edition right away, and I am very happy with this decision. Considering how fast the 4 hours have passed, I doubt that this game will overstay its welcome.

My only real gripe is the auto-save system, which is way too aggressive. You can easily fill all the auto-save slots in just a couple of minutes, which means manual saves unnecessarily become a requirement. The audio design is also horrible in many ways, which often breaks immersion. There are also small annoyances, like sprinting forcing a super low mouse sensitivity, but they’re not deal-breakers considering how well the game plays. Overall, it’s been a fantastic experience so far.

For every gameplay element this game does great, you can check the reviews for the first game. The sequel brought only improvements upon them. (PS: This is by far the most immersive game ever.)

I am rewriting my review to keep it shorter, because I hadn't progressed much in the story when writing my first review. A lot of side-quests have main story quality of a regular RPG, and I will always praise that, but the writing for the main story quests of this game is on another level. It perfectly justifies plot elements that seem unimaginable at first, and it never holds back.

Skyrim doesn't understand war. Call of Duty says "war is hell" on the loading tips. This game makes you feel war.

I wasn't expecting a masterpiece. Please do not ruin the experience for yourself by playing it alone in your first playthrough.

Each level is unique with a "small game" approach to them, with puzzles that feel unique and polished. It also takes itself with just enough seriousness to allow you to get immersed while playing it.

I look forward to not only future levels of this game, but their future games, too, if they can keep up the quality of the first two levels.

"Played for 6.6 hours"
Literally all I did in that time was get confused, look up a guide, and then run from one end of the island to the other, until I got bored and never booted the game again.

This is despite having played the first game, and not feeling confused at all through it.

Getting shot by black pixels while the game feels like a slideshow on 60 FPS due to horrible frame pacing.

I was expecting a good game with bugs (like Cyberpunk was at release). I got a game that is so poorly designed and optimized that I am having a hard time pushing myself to even see the bugs.

80% of the time I have been getting shot by people that are literally impossible to see, which makes the ONLY counter hiding and waiting for them to rush you because of how useless your flashlight is. The other 20% also felt horrible anyway due to my aim constantly being held back by atrocious frame pacing.

How did they make this worse than the original trilogy..? Slightly hyped for years, massively hyped for weeks, waited five hours for the download... 60 minutes in and I already want to go back to playing other games.

I was ready to say that this DLC put me through an emotional rollercoaster. Then I decided to spend an extra hour and see what else it had to offer before I could properly claim that I finished the DLC. It managed to put me on an entirely different, much harsher rollercoaster. I don't think any game ever made me feel so bad about my decisions, and I can't even blame the game when it gave me so many options to back out, and I felt like I got what I deserved. Not only that, but I also feel like I ruined everything, for everyone, and to some extent even made Night City itself a worse place.

This is the first time a game made me want to vent because of how bad I feel. I guess CDPR's storytelling just lands for me.

Granted, I wouldn't get as horrible of an outcome if my first playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 was with this DLC. The minor amount of "stinking" in some of my later decisions would probably weigh on me. However, despite me going through with some of the DLC content for completion's sake, the outcome still shook me knowing that it would be up there as one of the strongest choices for me. I'm proper shaken on a level no other game managed before. None even came close, and, to be honest, I don't think ever will.

All the other content in the DLC are also great. The sidegigs feel like actual missions, and they tie in nicely to the main story, too. I don't think I even need to mention that the game became a finished, mostly polished game with this DLC. But the story was severely understated for me. Holy ***.

This game do what Nintendon't

buy this game so they can fight against nintendo
