Do you seek new experiences from a video game?
No? Then this game is for you!

TL;DR:
Warning: You may suffer Nostalgia Overdose from playing.
Extremely smooth experience. Loading screens 2-6 secs.
Close to no bugs.
Just as good and infuriating (Crash 1) as they used to make them.
Graphics and Character Design 10/10
Sounds and Visuals 10/10

Bought for achievements. Grinding for an hour.
I have an opinion on this game.
It's horrible.

Bought for achievements, stayed for relaxing puzzle game.

Relaxing music and simple gameplay.

BioShock itself is an amazing game, story and gameplay wise.

BioShock™ Remastered has a habit of crashing. I don't like losing half of my research in-game, because of a crash...

If you want the best experience in BioShock, buy the original version. It had no problems.

Started playing on 6.88 update, which means I wasn't there, when big updates came. 7.00 was my first big update.

My opinion on 7.00 as a semi-new player? I think it's fantastic.

Talent trees are a wonderful addition to the game, it spices things up nicely.
New HUD is nice. It's smaller than the earlier one, but I have gotten used to it.

The game is still balanced and every hero is playable, although some heroes are getting huge nerfs.

In my opinion, update 7.00 (or in other words Dota 3) refreshed Dota 2. I wasn't getting bored with 6.88, but I can see that 7.00 made the game remarkably more fun.

"Reviewing" this as an "old school" PD:TH player. Stop reading now, if you are expecting a precise view on the current state of the game.

On 14th of July 2012, I bought PAYDAY: The Heist. This purchase changed my view on video games. PD:TH gave me the fondest memories and it was great.

On 23rd of May 2013, I pre-ordered Payday 2 Career - Criminal Edition. Extremely hyped I waited for the Beta to be released. When it was released, I played a lot. With over 200 hours in Beta, PAYDAY 2 was released. The feeling of the game was awesome. Upgrades seemed cool and useful.

But then something happened. It all started with Armored Transport, the 1st DLC to be released in PAYDAY 2. I thought "Cool, The Heat Movie DLC".
After this DLC, they released something new. Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC. This is the point where I stopped playing less (for simply getting bored). I thought the added grenade assests were cool addition.
Overkill updated the game frequently (like they do now) and filled it with "Halloween Safehouse Survival" map. It was fun and all.

As you see, I mentioned 2 DLC's. This is where I left off and saw the DLC's dropping one after another. The time I'm writing this, there are 44 DLCs (free and paid).
I am not going to slam Overkill for being greedy ( or lazy, considering PDTH nowadays :D ).
I haven't played PAYDAY 2 properly in years now, and I will not start it anymore. For me, a game based on DLCs is not a proper game.

Props to Overkill for banishing micro-transactions from the game. It was good of them!

PAYDAY 2 Beta will always have a place in my heart, right next to PAYDAY: The Heist.
For PAYDAY 2 Beta, I give thumbs up. For PAYDAY 2, thumbs down. ♥♥♥♥ the haters, It's my opinion.

TL;DR: It's a game with awesome superpowers. Buy it, if you want to have fun with a friend (or alone)

Saints Row 4 was an amazing experience. Everything is similar to SR3. World, NPCs, gunplay, missions, cars. But to spice it up, they added superpowers. Such as superjump, superspeed, fireballs, iceballs, telekinesis, etc.

These powers make the game so great. They are very well made and spice up the game extremely well.

Storywise SR4 is lousy. Villain appears in the world and you try to stop him, as usual. But in my opinion, game with silly and childish humor and superpowers doesn't need a strong storyline.

You like driving in games? Don't buy Saints Row 4. They are pretty much useless, since you can run and fly faster.

The game gets more fun, when you get more upgrades. When you have reached level 50, you will have a ton of fun with some upgrades (hint: it's the bomb).

Co-Op is enjoyable. I completed it with few people and enjoyed it every time. Using these powers won't tire you, once you get into it.

Although you might have all-beating superpowers, you still have to make your money legit. Do missions and activities to get money and upgrade your guns (which you will need, even though you still have those powers). There are few overpowered weapon choices, which will help you through the game.

You can upgrade your superpowers by collecting these blue clusters around the map. There are around a thousand of them, so you will see a lot of them.

The map is like SR3, but bigger. It doesn't take long to travel through it. It would've been nice to see a bigger map. There is also a fast travel system, which I used frequently during a 100% run.

Character customization is absolutely great (once again). Detailed settings can be applied. I am not the one to customize my character a whole lot, but I know there are tons of people who like to. Shopping for clothes is fun. You can find some funny and cool looking costumes.

Many activities are sometimes a grind, but it doesn't always feel that way, since they take few minutes or less.

Saints Row 4 is a funny and a great game with interesting gameplay mechanic added to it.
I recommend this game to you, if you are into superpowers and relaxing gameplay.

P.S. If you want an open world game with more driving, buy GTA 5. If you want superpowers, buy SR4.
Also, there's Keith David, what else could you possibly want?

You forget a thousand things every day, how about you make sure mods are one of them?

You know a game is good, when there aren't over 35 forced DLC's in it.

Your payday is quickly over, when you are paying for those 37 DLC's.
