Kicks people out of coop randomly since release. Bought this solely for coop so it's a no from me. Too bad that I managed to play this for over 2 hours because the singleplayer prologue lasts about that long so can't refund lmao

Early Access Review
The game feels unfinished. Movement feels clunky, especially jumping, and there's really not much to do. Shooting also feels awkward and doesn't feel rewarding. Expected way more. If the concept was executed to a T, it'd surely be an amazing experience. Maybe I'll come back to this in a few years when it receives the treatment it deserves.

E: Also, the sound design for footsteps is pretty poor. It sounds like someone is running next to / behind you when you're running, which is annoying.

This game was a pleasant surprise. Absolutely beautiful music and story. Never thought I'd enjoy a 2D game like this as much as I did.

Honestly the best game I've played in a long, long time, if not the best game I've ever played.

Immersion, great main story and secondary quests, interesting characters, spectacular voice acting and SFX, beautiful environment and weapons, tons of stuff to discover, fluid combat, gigolo protagonist, actually useful/essential signs, skill development, balanced money system... I could go on for days.

Yeah, buy it.

Innovation in a zombie game? This can't be true!

Originally posted by Wikipedia:
Dying Light is a zombie apocalypse-themed game set in an open world. Players traverse an expansive urban environment overrun by a vicious epidemic, scavenging the world for supplies and crafting weapons to defend against the growing infected population with a heavy focus on freerunning mechanics, allowing players to perform actions such as climbing ledges, leaping off from edges, sliding, jumping from roofs to roofs and zip-lining.

I'll tell you something right away. Dying Light is something you'd never expect from a zombie game: innovation, smooth mechanics, a storyline, tons of tasks, variety and devs who listen to the consumers.

So the story... The story is not the best thing you could hope for — it's quite cheesy with its stereotypical antagonists and doesn't succeed in making the important characters feel like they matter enough, lacking an emotional connection. The first half of the main story is promising, but after you get to Old Town, the tasks get quite repetitive and the plot starts falling apart, offering no interesting continuation or conflicts to prior events.

Luckily, the game still has huge replay value due to the meticulously crafted gameplay elements and co-op shenanigans. The smooth mechanics of the game really make up for the lackluster story, since slicing and bashing zombies and jumping from rooftop to rooftop feels really fluid and it really is a blast.

Overall, Dying Light is a great game, despite its flaws. I couldn't ask for more when it comes to gameplay, weapons and co-op. The only real con is the story — if it was done as well as the game mechanics, this game would be GOTY material without a doubt.

CS:GO Review
Let's start off by saying that this game is the best one in the CS series.

I'd say that CS:GO is a remade version of 1.6, which suits the needs of the current generation - better graphics, stuff is fancy, yet all the competitive elements are still in place.

What's new compared to CS 1.6 and CS:S? There's a new "mode" called competitive. People take this rather seriously. You can play it to get higher in rank - in case you've got what it takes to get there, which means you'll get better opponents when you advance. Remember that you have to be on the same (or higher) level as your opponents to get higher.
You can also play it to realize you belong to the bottom floor. But being on the bottom floor is okay, right? You can only get better. Note: Remember this is a team game. Try to cooperate with your team the best you can. This includes knowing at least some basic smokes and flashes for the maps you're queuing for and communicating with your teammates.

CS:GO also has the classic server browser you might know from 1.6 and CS:S, wherein you can browse different custom servers (like kz, surf, aim maps, deathmatch etc.), search them by tags/maps/player count/ping, the usual stuff. Some of these servers feature funmodes, which you can play when you feel like playing CS:GO but you don't feel like tryharding. Most of these servers are noob-friendly.

This game is updated constantly, which means tweaks to guns if some are deemed 'overpowered' or 'underpowered', new skins, new operations, new maps, and more. Be sure to have your credit card ready when these things happen, though!
