Goood.

Okay, this is super long so TL;DR -
Recommended: Install, play, have fun!


I have been playing Destiny 2 on PS4 since it first released, when it moved to Steam and they added crossplay, I decided to move to the PC version. I've put hundreds of hours into D2 over the time I've been playing it, and honestly it's an incredible game.

I don't understand some of the reviews saying they don't recommend, despite the fact they have hundreds of hours into it. If it's so bad, and they "just can't" recommend it, then I don't really see why they're playing it constantly lol.

I do agree that for new players, with how it's been changed, it'd definitely be quite confusing if you first join. But tbh, they wouldn't know any different to 750 being base level. Bungie should've organised the campaigns and how you start the game differently, but lets be honest - it's a MASSIVE game, full of content, even without Forsaken or Shadowkeep, and it's FREE. So yeah, do at least give it a try. I don't see why people would say otherwise - if you don't like it, at least there was no money wasted.

I think how they've done the "battle pass" for D2 is really good, and it's good for everyone. If you do buy Shadowkeep, you get the pass included. Or it's around £8, and offers a lot of items and cosmetics for players.

I'd definitely recommend buying Forsaken, as for me, it was THE BEST content they added to D2. (And personally I think it helped keep the game afloat at the time)

But if you didn't want to buy anything at all, there's a hell of a lot for you to do - Campaigns, Adventures, Strikes, Nightfalls, Crucible, Gambit, PvE public events, etc etc.

I never find myself with nothing to do, because if I get bored of something, I'll move onto another thing!

Anyways, I 100% recommend D2, and since it's free, there's no loss in at least trying it. It's one of my all-time favourite games, and one of the ones I've put so much time into. The combat and movement is super fun, you feel like a bad ass when you use your super ability and go around smashing other people down :P and there's so much to unlock and feel a sort of accomplishment for the things you do.

The Witcher 3 has to be my all-time favourite RPG and (just overall) game, ever.

There's so much to do, so much to explore - and it all looks beautiful. You can also MOD the game if you want which extends the possibilities as well. I have put in over 100hrs into the game so far, and I've barely scratched the surface - don't let that put you off if you think that it's some long drawn-out snoozefest. It's optional, I have been doing side quests, contracts, treasure hunts etc. You truly get lost in the world of the game, and you can see how much love and care CD PROJEKT RED has put into it.

The quests are amazing, whether it's the main quests or a random side one you happened across whilst exploring. I won't spoil anything but there's some really sad, creepy or disturbing ones too.. you'll see. Point is, the game really grips you and drags you in.

I will admit, when I first played it the start was quite hard for me to get through - I'm not even sure why, as now I know the characters and the story I would happily play the start and probably feel different next time around. But I say this because as someone who was new to The Witcher series, it almost put me off which would've been a huge mistake for me.

So don't let the start make you feel too overwhelmed or bored, because I promise you it's a story you want to dive into and won't want to miss out on, especially if you're a fan of the RPG genre.


Also, I hardly ever write reviews so that should show for something!

Wtf? this is STILL in Early Access?

This is how a remaster should be done, always!

There's been plenty of remasters of great games this year, but sadly 90% of them were so badly optimized, left too long before they were patched good enough to be playable, and then sort of just forgotten about. THQ have really made a remaster of an already incredible game, even better! The game looks stunning, you wouldn't even remember it was first released 6 years ago! Looks crisp and completely refreshed.

I haven't had any problems at all so far. I've noticed a lot of negative reviews based off peoples AMD hardware.. I assume it's the GPU as I have an AMD FX8350 cpu, GTX 780 gpu, 8gb RAM, and I haven't run into any problems so far. I would DEFINITELY recommend picking this up (especially at it's currently incredibly low price of £3.99 on it's 80% off deal) because even for the users experiencing problems due to their hardware, I've noticed that the game has had several small patches since it was released the otherday, so I have complete faith in the fact that the AMD problems will be dealt with!

If you loved playing Darksiders before, pick this up, you won't regret it! It feels like a brand new experience all over again. :)

Honestly, this piece of software is amazing! Don't pay any mind to my "played time" I bought this last year via Gumroad. It's fantastic, easy to use, the UI is simplistic but really easy to navigate. If you're planning on doing a pixel-style game, or, like me, just enjoy making "pixel art" I highly recommend this product! It has an option called "pixel perfect" where it's sort of like a stabilizer that you see used in SAI, for example. I can't praise this software enough! Thank you devs for this wonderful product, and for the fact you let pre-steam users get another key for Steam!

Firstly I don't understand some of the excessively critical reviews.
Yes, the game is short and simple, and yes it's pretty much just a mobile port.
But for christ sakes, it cost 50p odd on deal, and some of you are just picky keyboard warriors.

ANYWAY, to the game -

It's a simple travelling/distance game, with the only method of movement is a click of the mouse button..
BUT it's some mindless fun, really addictive - plus you get 40 achievements to unlock with Steam trading cards
on the way! For moneys worth.. a measly 50 pence, it's a great buy for a casual game.

This is a great program for drawing digital art! It has many features that I wish PS had, but also lacks a few that PS has.
With that being said, it is pretty much my go-to program whenever I want to draw! It has "event viewer" so if you want to re-watch how you did your art, you can! It also has a little feature that tells you how many "steps" you did it in. I know a lot of people got this on sale, but honestly, it's WORTH the full price - I paid full price and I regret nothing! Also just a little thing I wanted to add - just because it's got illustrations of manga/anime everywhere you look in the community hub, don't feel like this program is only decent for drawing in that style, because I don't draw manga/anime (even though I wish I could!) and it still caters to all my needs! The UI may look "simple" but it's the tools and features that really make this stand out. :) Definitely recommend!

Well, where to start?

I can say in all honesty, that this game is probably ONE of the best dungeon crawlers I've played. A lot of people are either saying "it's better than Diablo 3!" or "This is crappy compared to Diablo 3." This is both right and wrong (although I wouldn't ever call this game "crappy") What I mean is, they both have their own pros and cons, but regardless they are both great for the things that they offer. I am playing Diablo 3 alongside Torchlight 2, and enjoying them both equally.

I would say that I would compare Torchlight 2 more to Diablo 2 though, it makes me think of it with the town portal scrolls and identification scrolls, skill trees/points etc. I have played Diablo since the first one was released and have been a fan ever since. But, this is about TL2 so I'll get on to that;

TL2 is a really fun, fast-paced, beautiful looking game. I love the features it has, and I think one of my favourites is the fact you get a pet that follows you around and protects you and picks up your loot for you. You can also tell your pet to go back to town and sell your unwanted items and buy you potions/scrolls, which comes in REALLY handy. I love the combat on this game, like someone said before, it doesn't feel like a grind killing the monsters - because it's actually fun doing so. It's fast and fluid and I can see this being a game you'd want to replay just to use the other classes.

If you're an achievement hunter, this game is great for that too, you get achievments for pretty much everything and that's a nice thing, it makes you feel like you've acomplished something - even just by doing something small and receiving an achievement for it.

OVERALL, this game is a must buy, it's great for the price - and honestly, could be sold at the same price as Blizzard is selling Diablo 3 for. If you like dungeon crawlers, pick this one up! And even if you're new to the genre - I'd definitely suggest buying this as your first, it is a guaranteed winner in my books.


TL;DR - 10/10 just buy it now.

Really fun to play with friends.
But overall a crappy community.


BUT it is a great game, I see a lot of potential.
