Great game to play with friends, plenty of fun to be had if you can ignore the somewhat lacklustre story. What you will most likely end up playing this for is the guns and builds you can customise and make to your liking.

If you're a fan of CRPGs but want something modern then look no further than Divinity Original Sin 2, it builds further upon the systems of it's predecessor while introducing new mechanics to keep combat and general role playing new and exciting.

One particular change I've grown to enjoy is simply having unique dialogue options based on your character's background or even being able to determine the result of an encounter through persuasion checks.

Each character you can create to be unique with plenty of new skills and spells to play around with to manipulate and turn the tides of battle in your favour.

A strong recommendation from me to play this game, even more enjoyable with friends with up to 4 player coop!

An unforgiving RPG where if you aren't careful with your choices, they will come back to bite you again and again. The game has multiple ways of killing you and multiple pathways to go down leading to a number of endings. In this game I loved how each one of your choices mattered, there wasn't anything that felt like a waste.

It was great fun exploring the world and learning about the various locations and what happened in the past, it was very intriguing, accompanied with it's host of characters scattered within all with their own goals and purposes.

I'd strongly recommend this game for any RPG fans, there's plenty of replayability to be had!

Argueably the best Saints Row in the series, with the perfect mix between story and humor, its no wonder a lot of Saints Row players claim that Saints Row 2 is the epitomy of the game's series. If you plan on playing this on PC make sure to download the Gentlemen of the Row mod, it will fix a lot of the issues with the crappy PC port of this game!

Nothing beats a good old fashioned heist. Even better with 3 other mates! This game is best enjoyed with 3 friends as you work together (or at least you'd hope so) to steal the loot, shoot cops in the head and make a clean getaway. Despite the repetitive nature of the levels, RNG in the levels themselves is applied to each one so it changes slightly to always keep you on your toes so you never quite know what to expect! One time the vault might be on the west side, the next time it could be on the east! The bank manager might have the keycard that one time and the next it's on his desk instead!

The game caters to both styles of gameplay, if you'd prefer the sneakier and subtle approach then there's definitely levels to suit that style and if you're the player who prefers to shoot people in the face and go all rambo/terminator on everything then there's heists to do that as well. Some heist can be done either way while others are only for one specific style, regardless there's definitely heists to suit everyone!

The skills and now perk decks are completely up to you to choose how you want to build your character and each skill you learn changes the way you play the game. This makes it easier to do one specific task over another, so in a team it's great to have a well balanced skillset between all 4 members to execute a well planned heist! Don't try to build a jack of all trades character because it's not possible and you'll find that you won't be as good as if you'd had just specialised! Let your teammates pick up the slack for areas you're not good at or not equipped for, this game is about teamwork after all!

The developers of the game have made some bad decisions in the past, some minor while others enough to cause a riot, to the point there was even media coverage about it. But I'm happy to say that for the most part they have fixed their mistakes and have continued to work with the community to provide a satisfying and fun gameplay experience for all. Now with over 4 years worth of content and updates it's clear the game has grown a lot since it started and I can happily say for the better!

So if you ever have the urge to commit a robbery or just want to go on a giant killing spree while getting paid for it on the side then this is the game to do it in, perfect for making millions in a short amount of time! Make sure to work together as a team and you'll be on your way to a long and fruitful career in the crime world.

If you like Moba-style games and want something new to try, then take a look at Arche Blade. This game have a handful of characters for you to play as, each with their own move sets. There's no single button to cast a skill, instead you have to input the right order of commands to perform certain attacks and chain combos to deal the most damage in combat against the enemies. There are multiple modes such as capture the nodes and free-for-all. For a free game it gives yet another reason to try it out, i definately can see myself coming back to this again and again.

If you like puzzle games like Portal, especially ones that make your brain hurt and screw with your mind then AntiChamber is the game to look at getting. It has a variety of puzzles that usually take a couple of tries to fully understand but never the less, solving them makes you feel like a genius.Until the next puzzle...
