This game is an absolute masterpiece. It fully captures the feeling of fighting an intergalactic war, while also fostering a rallying community excited to be an active part of the story. The community is so strong, we rallied against Sony and won. Helldivers deserves to recover from the review bombing, especially since it isn't even Arrowheads fault that Sony tried to force their accounts on us. Arrowhead probably had 0 say in that topic. This game also takes co-op mechanics to a new level with assisted reloading, and limited equipment/stratagem slots to force players to diversify gear to take down all manners of threats, instead of any one player being able to take down anything.

The developers clearly put their hearts and souls into this game and it shows. It feels polished, fun and replay-able. For $50 I can't recomend any other game.

I worked on this game. Can't recommend it enough <3

Age of Wonders takes many of the complicated systems and economies from games like civ and simplifies them into more digestible features.

You can also completely customize your own race and leader which is just amazing and gets me super immersed and involved in my games.

The most addicting card game I've ever played

Back 4 Blood grows on Left 4 Dead, and takes a risk with new shooter mechanics such as the deck building. I've never seen a game use perks and decks the way back 4 blood does. This makes your character super customizable to the way you want to play.

Especially with the DLC, this game is worth it on sale. I would also say its worth it for any extreme fans of left 4 dead.

PS. Everyone gets mad at games like COD for always being the same. But then say games like Back 4 Blood are trash because they changed things and took design risks. Good on the team that made this game, you can never satisfy everyone.

It Takes Two is a great example of how co-op can be done. Its game play is simple yet enjoyable, meaning any skill range of players can pick it up and have fun, even if the two players have drastically different skill levels with games.

Apex legends is by far my favorite battle royale, and game currently. Its a fast paced arena style shooter, mixed with characters and abilities to create interesting team play and dynamics.

Pros:
Fast paced
Visual style
Gun Play
Large selection of characters
Team Dynamics
Multiple Maps
Frequent updates
Satisfying player feedback

Cons:
Sound issues seem to be common
Not enough high rank players to fill a high rank competitive lobby with similar skill (top 3 ranks combined into one lobby)
Sometimes cosmetic items can be dull

Beautiful aesthetics with some fun twists on classic civ mechanics

ALready blown so many hours... and a few dudes

So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun!
