Be the GOAT - Mionel Lessi...

To be fair, that sums it all. You are "the player" and being the best (or the worst) on & off the pitch is all up to you. Train, play, score, assist, tackle, save, celebrate, do interview, go out with friends/teammates/gf, get married, do shopping, gamble... It's all about decisions.

I'll keep it short & simple: Even though it looks more or less the same as previous years (believe me it's not), this... Is... FOOTBALL MANAGER!!! @ its BEST.

-EDIT- (After around 130 hours)
Now that the new features got fully integrated, I hope we can see some improvements on personal issues in upcoming version (2020) such as never ending new contract requests from some of the players that have played 5-10 matches above average rating even though they have already signed a longterm new deal just a couple months ago, interviews & journalist interactions, a bit more in-depth personal life (at least something to do with our salary) and so on.

Simply... AMAZING!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will definitely be remembered as one of the best games of 2010's. This piece of art became the game changer in modern-day RPG gaming. Welcome to the final chapter of Geralt of Rivia's story (for now).

Based on the universe Sapkowski created, gamers have been enjoying the journey of Witcher Geralt for the last 10 years (since the very first game of the series). All the effort CD Projekt RED put on the series have not only helped gamers to understand the storyline, but also given them the opportunity to become the White Wolf himself.

Even side characters are so well written that you never get bored even after 100 hours of gameplay. You gotta make many choices that will effect the way how quests continue. Not even mentioning different endings you can get depending on some of your choices. Game itself is long enough (considering that you also try to do side quests; it takes at least around 30-35 hours during first run in a normal pace), and thanks to its superb developers, there are great DLC stories included (each one adding significant playtime).

Oh and about that soundtrack... MASTERPIECE!!! It blends so amazingly with the environment that sometimes you just take a break and watch the dusk near a mountainside.

Gameplay is very smooth but sometimes things start to get nasty because of some minor bugs (though not much of a hassle especially after you get the fighting dynamics). Only thing that bothers me (and as far as I know, many others) is Roach :)

If you're a fan of The Witcher series (books), you'll be playing a marvellous adaptation. If you know the series from previous titles, you'll love the development of this final chapter. If you're new to the universe & just joined the hype, you're more than welcome to enjoy it. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!

There are so many things to be written about this "Special One". Though, instead of wasting more time, just click that play button & enter the world of The Witcher. Perhaps "I'm getting too old for this...", but let's enjoy this epic final chapter.

A very special thanks goes to every single person at CD Projekt RED team who has been a part of this journey. Real gamers are with you & Geralt of Rivia (a.k.a. The White Wolf)!

This is the best "hacking" game since Uplink. Period.

There are many things to do inside the "simulation". Visually and musically it's very satisfying. I especially loved the soundtrack! Nice but not so long story with some plot twists, mini games and many hidden information including interesting websites, puzzles, free keys, satires etc... You can even change your in-game terminal theme.

Using real Unix codes in command line is a nice idea. If you're a bit familiar with coding, that makes you feel like you're in a more realistic environment.

There aren't many alternatives in this specific genre, and this is one of the better ones (if not the best). I highly suggest it.

-BioShock Infinite & DLC's-

I've always been a fan of "BioShock" titles and after finally completing the DLC (Burial At The Sea), I wanted to write this review to pay homage to the creative team of the game.

First of all, storywise, this... Piece of art can be easily considered as one of the best ever. If not the best, it would enter the top 5. It's so deep and actually makes the gamer think about. It hooks you up from the first moment to the very last.

Gameplay seems to be fun but not very innovative. It's more like a generic shooter most of the time and definitely not as deep as the original BioShock (especially map complexity and designs) but it doesn't get you bored. Remember that the strongest point of this game is the story and not the gameplay. Even like this, the gameplay is better than most of those other so-called "Modern Time Classics".

I can easily say that in Bioshock Infinite, you're going to love the melodic atmosphere throughout the game. Musical selection fits the atmosphere perfectly and actually adds to it.

Graphics performance of the game seems great too. They've optimized it so well. Even though my rig isn't the strongest one, I didn't have any problems until now.

To sum up; if you're looking for a great game with an incredible story, go for it without any hesitation, but let me warn you; if you're not interested about the storyline at all (is this even possible?) and just want to complete the game, you might not like it that much.. For me, this game is a must have in your library.

-9/10-


About DLC:
In my opinion, recently, most of those game developers just started to release some DLC's just to milk their costumers for nothing more than cosmetic stuff etc..

Well, that definitely is NOT the case with BioShock Infinite DLC's (Burial At The Sea Part 1&2). You can expect a darker atmosphere. I won't give any spoilers, but the story continues to blow your mind in "Rapture" for around 2-3 hours each episode depending on your gameplay.
In short, developers deserve an applause for this addition to the masterpiece.


Final words:
Thanks for creating this work of art Irrational Games, history will remember you...
