Miss the good old days when nanos did damage. All my friends stopped playing around that time. So sad. Too bad.

I have played this game long enough and this has a hell of a lot more hackers now.
LOTS more games better than this. PUBG is at the bottom of the ♥♥♥♥ pile. Play at your own risk.

I have played for a lot more than 150+ hours and also on 2 different accounts.

First of all, Apex Legends has always been a great game to play. There is fluidity in motion of all movement and combat that surpasses other shooters. And the diversity of player skill is very wide.
But with that said, the game is just not good enough to outweigh the negative.

Being free to play means that there are cheaters who will always come back after getting a ban. My main account was stolen by a hacker while I was playing COD:Warzone and a cheater used it for 4 months before I noticed. Account recovery took a month prompting me to create a second account. When I finally recovered my main account, it had increased 350+ games. That is 350+ games where Respawn/EA did not detect the hacks.

Respawn/EA need to solve the hacking problem somehow. Maybe by removing free to play?
I will never recommend Apex Legends to anyone.

Having an account of over a thousand games and have played all kinds of simulator games, PC Building Simulator is one of the best. With the built in internet radio channels, the game can be quite relaxing. Play at your own pace.
In the foreground, you would read people's emails and find out whats wrong with their computers. Then buy the parts to fix them. In the background, you have to manage how much you spend, use of second hand parts to save on money and figure out how to save up as much as you can to eventually buy the business off of your uncle.
The emails are sometimes funny and some people keep coming back with more and more requests for their computer. A lot of fun indeed.

I'm recommending just because this game needs a lot more players.
But seriously....
If you are at all into music, this is worth experiencing but not worth the price. Maybe when its discounted.
This game is built to grow and expand in future updates but without the people and the sales, im worried this game might have a short life.

The general purpose of this app is to send keyboard and/or mouse commands to any app/game you have on screen when you speak to it.
I use this mostly for Elite Dangerous. Now I'm using this for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord so that I am able to send commands to my army on the fly while i'm in the middle of a fight.
Highly recommended app! No need any game plugins.

** Review Update **
Firstly, I dont know what specs I may need to have a need for this software. I did not easily find this information anywhere. So I bought it to test it out. I then refunded cos I didnt need it.
Why negative review?
1.) CPU Affinity Manager is what CPUCores is but seem to avoid this by talking about how it maximizes your FPS. Some people who bought it would say otherwise. Just check the youtube reviews!
2.) For novice PC users, theres no way to tell if you need this or not other than to buy it first. Trial version please!
3.) CPUCores advertises steam game integration. Then the realization that I have to open games through it instead of steam every time.
4.) CPUCores advertises VR support. Last time I checked VR requires high end computers to run.

CPU Affinity and FPS lag are 2 different things. I will recommend CPUCores only if it prioritizes communicating as a CPU Affinity Manager rather than a FPS lag killer. If my defrag program started advertising that it maximizes my FPS, Id be using something else.

** Old Review **
My system is good enough. I did not experience any difference in performance. Requested a refund.

IM NOT BANNED YET... But 2 of my 7 GTAO mates have been banned. One of them only recently bought the game and have YET TO INSTALL IT when he got a perma ban with no chance of appeal. The other streams his GTAO games on twitch due to fear of getting banned. And still gets banned.

ALL OF US HAVE STOPPED PLAYING due to fear of getting banned.

ROCKSTAR GAMES BOYCOTT MUST BEGIN NOW!

First thing first, if you want to know what its like, watch some lets plays on youtube.
I paid NZ$90 for this when it came out and I refunded asap. Now at NZ$45, I still shouldnt have paid this much for it. NMS is worth max NZ$35 by my solo experience so far.

What is NMS like? Its almost like a kids version of elite dangerous similar to how Fortnite is to PUBG.
But does this restrict the game to kids only? HELL NO!

My suggestion TAMF, when you do get this game, play a little bit of normal difficulty to learn to play. Then switch to Survival and give yourself a massive challange. Everything hits hard and you die faster. When you die in survival, you loose your personal inventory and one of your gadgets break requiring repair.

That in itself IMO, makes the game so much better.

New Features since the last time I played:
Freebuild base building,
Ground Vehicles,
Massive freighter fleet you can command,
Rare and Exotic ships you can find and buy,
Survival and Permadeath Difficulties,
4 Player Multiplayer with freedom to roam wherever you want on your friend's server.

So in conclusion:
Is it worth the NZ$45? No
Is it worth coming back? Definitely!

The game starts off with a black screen and nothing else. There is no developer support as the developer no longer exists. I had to edit config files to play the game in window mode. The game played well all the way through to the end. Without a walkthrough, the game is ridiculously complicated. I would recommend this only if you like puzzle games and use a walkthrough when needed.
