Dark and Darker in space
Unrelenting still a little janky but overall a very decent game.

The game its self is awesome it's fun and enjoyable.

The shop is wack though.

A ton of people are giving it a thumbs down due to the cosmetic shop which is justified, but again the game is pretty damn fun.

Pretty Good

Fantastic Base for a amazing game in the future

Devs could work on communication a ton

The suits at AGS could and has been screwing over the game so far

No story more of a pvp focused mmo to be fair (THIS WILL CHANGE THE FURTHER THE GAME PROGRESSES)

Kind of a pog game

174 hours in and not getting bored of it one bit.

This mmo has been the mmo that i have been looking for since World of Warcraft went down into the dumps.

Pros
They respect your time leveling takes 8-14 hours more if you're a casual player and don't really have time to play much games

Once you hit level 50 you are then given 2 boosts for 2 alts to get them to level 50. You then have the option to boost the sequential characters to level 50 with 800 gold which is relatively easy to get. 2nd day of launch i had 6 characters level 50 this way

Every currency matters to some extent and there's a lot of them, but they don't become obsolete after you're down with them. Some are character bound but most are Roster(account) bound so you can give them to your alts to boost their item level

End game content is plentiful and honestly you never run out of it there's always something to do if not on your main your alts

The combat slaps hard it feels responsive and it feels like you area actually clapping cheeks rather than smacking ♥♥♥♥ with a wet pool noodle.

The end game Raids and Dungeons take skill and actual team work. There are 4man and 8man activities and they require all 4 or 8 people to actually do mechanics otherwise they screw it up for the entire team.

When upgrading gear from for the first few upgrades it's 100% but then it eventually goes down however when you do fail upgrading they give you a boost for your next upgrade so you may fail once but you get an % increase for the next upgrade.

Cons

There's time gates like typical mmo's
Amazon
Can't re-queue if someone leaves mid raid/dungeon
Upgrading gear can sometimes end up being RNG and times you'll get screwed over by RNG


This is my opinion of the game and others may hold different opinions. Don't always listen to people who leave reviews even mine. Try the game out nothing is stopping you from doing so it's FREEEEEEEEEE. A few sites that'll help you through your adventure in lost ark is

I regret buying this game and here is the few reasons why

1.This game has been out for almost a week now and there's been 1-2 updates that barely fix anything that really matters. As in atrocious lag that is across every server offcial and non-official. A mining bug where you think you'll be mining right infront of you but you actually mine in a vicinity which is quite annoying when you're digging underground trying to find ores.

2.Snail Games are just trying to milk anything dealing with Ark. They seem like they are not even involved with the community and i should have known this prior to buying pixark.

3.I impulsed bought pixark because it was if ark and minecraft had a baby. I thought it was going to be good and which in some cases it is. The just atrocious lag that is in the game currently puts a sour taste in my mouth that they haven't gone in any steps trying to fix this issue at all it seems.

I wish steam could have refunded my purchase because i would have taken my money elsewhere

All in all i do not recommend this game in its current state. If we see them actually pushing out updates quickly trying to fix these issues that everyone is having then maybe it would be worth it. Although seeing how they pretty much gave up on dark and light pretty fast and now it's pretty much a dead game i wouldn't second guess that this game is going to last much longer either.

Hey guys i'm writing this review to even out the ♥♥♥♥ negative ones where people have only played 10 minutes to only an hour of the game and just straight up complain about the whole thing like a little inpatient baby.

So where do we begin?
Dark and Light is a very fun game for me personally the magical/fantasy game play you endevour in this game is phenominal. The amount of skills you have and how you need to train them to level up is a brilliant idea. I'm not gonna sugar coat this but Dark and Light has models that are found in ark you'll see this through out the schematics you'll learn through out the game but does it take away on if it's a good game not at all. I've heard around that devs of this game is the owner of wild card studios and if it's true, it would make sense that they may have some of the same assets. The gameplay alone is fun the map right now is huge and going down the line it's gonna be insane on how big the map is going to be. The combat is the game is little weird at times but it's not too big of a deal. There's a mix of either Melee,Range, or Magic and they all have their respective attacks of course. No matter what people say about the game that has just a few minutes into writing a negative review because they can't get into a server or they keep crashing it's not like that happens to everyone. Please don't let these negative reviews judge you on if you should buy the game or not really don't let the positive reviews do that either. Watch videos and streams of the game first or even buy the game and play it for 2 hours and see how you like it. If you don't like you can easily refund it if you have under 2 hours of game play. I have over 1k hours in ark and if you love ark i'm sure you will love this game just as much!!!

PUBG in my opinion worth a try if you liked any of Player Unknowns creations which is Arma 2 and 3 battle royale mod and h1z1 kotk. Now quite some noticeable differences between PUBG and KoTK of course and i'm sure we all know that.

Realistic gun play (in some sense)
Gun customizations (Scopes,Supressors,Etc.)
Cars can kill you if exited from at high moving speeds and are able to run others over 99.9% of the time
You are able to see players from i want to say "don't quote me on it" around 600-1000 meters away and are fully rendered
Whether you loose/win a game you gain currency to purchase in game cosmetic boxes. These boxes increase in price for every one you purchase and resets every sunday around 8pm Cst.
Cars do not accelerate immediately once you press "W" there's a small delay.
There's a breathe bar (for sniping) press shift to use it
and for the best one yet
You can swim "Also look down and press control to dive under water" atm you are unable to damage a player under water will this change i'm not too sure.
Very minimal cheaters "I have experienced none during my beta time and now" i have heard cases though of seeing/getting killed by cheaters.
I added most pros above and now with the cons
Optimization (How ever i do have a problem with this when i load the game for the first time of the day no textures load for me and it takes a restart. Once i restart the game and load into the game i get a stable 60-70 fps with a gtx 670 Ti) I know loads of others has issues here and there and some towns in the game will make your fps drop. (Check minimal system requirements before purchasing the game duh)
Small bugs as of right now none too game breaking (I've encountered an annoying one where you get stuck on a toilet and endlessly fall and stand repetitively. Others have experienced Desync issues/connectivity issues/guns reloading for ever.
Circles in the current state is an issue not a big one for me personally but i can see why people have an issue with them. In PUBG beginning cirlces are 100% okay though end game circles move too fast also has short times on them so you can only get into 1 or 2 battles before getting engulfed and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by the circle. You can also camp the early game circles and see inside and outside of the circles. (Again not too big of an issue but some people dislike it)

Those are pretty much the cons i've heard of PUBG as of right now but in the end you are the one who has to judge the game its self by playing it. Before buying the game and for many games out there on the market i recommend you watch some streamers playg PUBG and see if you will enjoy it or not.


***PUBG ON A SCALE FROM ARMA TO H1Z1 IT WOULD LAND IN THE MIDDLE IT'S NOT TOO ARCADEY AND IT'S NOT TOO REALISTIC***

I completely recommend this game but if you have any fear of oceans/the unknown this game may be a little hard for you. (I have a fear of oceans and the unknown and i piss my self most of the damn time)

Started in my little bungalo flotation device and i begin looting around the area
Find little adorable fishies around sadly had to eat them
I decided to explore further and then i hear a low roar and can't see anything around me
I then see something in the distance and my heart starts to race out of control
It's a huge lizard water thing coming right at me
I'm screaming trying to get to some land near the aurora i see it in the distance
I'm screaming bloody murder and then i get grabbed and eaten
I hear a knock at my door
Neighbor checking in on me and seeing if everything is okay
Sits down and begins to tell her the story
She leaves half way through
Haven't talked to me since
9/10 game if you want to scream like you're getting murdered

So When people see the name Infestation they instantly think that its ran by the scummy devs of OP Production. Now it does say their name on the dev list but that's because Fredraik had to go through them to get this on steam. Newz has been around for about 2 years maybe longer. They have had minimal cheaters and improved the game on top of what OP productions did. Sergey and the other devs only cared about money thats not the case with Fredraik. Once you make a free account you'll get i wanna say 60 days of premium for FREE that includes double xp and money drops and access to premium servers. Zombies drop tons of ingame dollars when you kill them for instance i made a brand new account farmed for 3 hours and made 500k dollars that can buy you everything in the store except skins/cosmetics. You can not buy guns from the store all the guns are filled with max ammo when you pick them up. Both high and low tier meds spawn and every single gun is able to be found. If you liked Infestation Survivor Stories even a little and hated the "P2W" aspect of the game you should try this game out of course it is a lot more fun with friends but solo is nice as well.


Now to the problems of the game
-Crashing: Sometimes you'll be running around and your game will freeze and begin to crash
-Bugs: There are very little bugs but there are some that are a tad annoying but nothing game breaking what so ever
-Caliwood: The graphics on caliwood is pretty bad worse than colorado but also the loot their in the towns are bad
That's about it for the cons but i totally recommend this game i'll give this a 7/10.
