Is very good

Pocketpair really outdid themself! Absolutely worth every penny. If you enjoyed Craftopia and Pokemon you will fall in love with this game, truly amazing to start an underpaid sheep labour industry while feeding chickens their own eggs.

Honestly the first 10-20 hours are very enjoyable and for a free to play game it is very impressive. It is the time period that it hooks you and once you are hooked you will notice the flaws due to the monetization model.

The game is pay to win and the DLC's for it are priced very expensively. Sure you can look at it like a battlepass, but also compare the price then of the battle pass compared to other games. In Bungie's defense, it does offer a lot of content. On the other hand, it is content that will be removed eventually as well... so take it how you want.

That being said, the first 15 hours were a lot of fun, I enjoyed it, but more than that isn't worth it.

As a mech lover and someone that enjoys Gundams, I have been waiting a very long time for a game like this! When you pick this game up, dont focus on a singular build, you will be hot swapping parts to figure out the best strategy for beating various opponents.

It is a fantastic game with epic battles and your mecha is pretty much fully customizable. The narrative is also pretty interesting. This is my first AC game but I have no trouble following it or getting used to the gameplay.

While the game is good generally speaking (especially for new players) I can not recommend it simply due to it being from Blizzard. Like many other reviews this is a take against the company and not the product, but it does affect the product, since every single sale and download will fuel and motivate their anti consumer practices.

It feels like they made a poor decision development wise and that is ok, even for Blizzard, in the end of the day it are just people like you and me working on this title. However instead of acknowledging their mistake they rather decided to ignore it and heavily focus on the monetization model of something that they shouldn't monetize as heavy, at least not for people that were OW 1 players.

Hello Games similarily made a grave error when it came to publishing No Man's Sky and they knew it. They accepted their mistake and they fixed it, not only did they fix it, they delivered one of the most incredible experiences out there for people that enjoy those type of games. NMS did a massive 180, one that has been followed by none.

Hello Games and Blizzard are the extremities in the gaming industry that show the difference between caring for your product and the customers versus caring for the investors and the big fat yearly bonus.

OW 2 has a less toxic community than OW 1, which is good, but I think that this is caused due to the community receiving plenty of toxicity from Blizzard.

It's a cute and fun game with plenty of creative mechanics in it for a deckbuilder.

The devs are actively working on it and improving it currently on a day-by-day pace, which is honestly incredible!

If you are into the likes of Slay the Spire then this game might be worth checking out. It is simpler, but interesting in its own way.

One of the best and most balanced (but also broken) roguelike deckbuilders I have played to date.

It's a fun DLC, so I definitely recommend getting it, but probably not at full price. I got it from the Deluxe pre-order which was absolutely worth it.

YOU CAN PET CATS AND THEY PURR!!

Jokes aside, Hogwarts Legacy is the wizardry based game that I have been waiting on for as long as I can remember. It is a beautiful crafted world with environments that contain many secrets. The visual effects are top notch and the shaders look absolutely gorgeous. It definitely gives the right magical feeling to this game. Even though it is called Hogwarts Legacy, the world map is far more massive than just Hogwarts. You will have a blast exploring and traveling.

The graphics are top notch and definitely live up to the new ray tracing standards especially when maxed out.
The story so far definitely fits in the Harry Potter universe and can feel a bit cliché at times due to that.

The gameplay is very enjoyable and the magic battles (so far) feel quite snappy and smooth. There is still a lot for me to discover, but for now it definitely lives up to what had been promised. The puzzles vary in difficulty and some require magic in order to be solved. I think that the diversity makes it fantastic.

This game is what I dreamt of as a child.

Fantastic bullet hell. I love the art style and the overall ambience it has. The simple story it has going is quite nice as well, narrative wise it gives me some Hades vibes (which is a compliment).
The gameplay feels very smooth and you get used to it quite quickly if you are new to these type of games.

Generally speaking I am not much of a bullet hell fan, but I definitely recommend this game, even if it was paid!
