This re-make is absolutely stunning.

I remember playing this back when they released it through file sharing and been waiting patiently for the Xen release. Now that it is out I decided to replay the whole game again.

These Xen levels are on another level, so imaginative and creative. It feels like its a whole new game in just 2 chapters and the ending fight with Nihilanth was nothing short of earth-shattering. The level design is breath-taking and the sounds you hear around you are so entrancing that it almost feels like what Xen should of truly been showcased if HL1 could have done that (But I understand the engines lack of capabilities back then). Playing this before HL2/EP1/EP2 is a must in my honest opinion.

I will recommend this game to anyone who is a die-hard Half-Life fan.

I have been playing DOTA for a long time now and have been following the pro scene watching tournaments left and right whenever they are broadcasted, know the teams/players to the point I understand every meme there is about them and absolutely love that part of this game. But this review is going to talk about my personal negative experience as a player whose played the matchmaking and the community that you will experience and to warn new players of what they may experience themselves if they decide to try this game.

So after pouring a huge chunk of my life into this game, I have decided to finally quit and move on with my life.

I have neglected real life responsiblities because of this game (spending time with my wife and kid). I have also wasted time on this game that I could have spent playing many, many other games that are in my steam library that have basically rotted for the past 4 years.

Almost every match I have played left me with some sort of rage inside or anger that I couldn't let go of until I started another match and sometimes that match that follows would continue until I have a winning match. To be honest though the rage and anger definintely outweighs the happiness and slight adrenaline rush from winning a match.

I would not recommend this game to someone new who is wanting to start into MOBAS or even looking to start a new game. It has sucked many hours from my life that I farily regret spending, as well as money that I spent on cosmetic/skins. This money and time could have been spent on family matters or bills, something that is 100% more important than a game. Although money isn't neccesarry to play the game to the fullest, it is just something that will taunt you when playing; seeing the shiny skins for heroes on your homepage and sales for items can be alitte tempting at times.

Something else that you see people mentioning in reviews is that the community is absolutely toxic, which is entirely true. Almost every match you will run into rage filled people that will say anything and everything to make you feel terrible about your self which in turn makes you play worse, even if you aren't neccesarily playing that bad.

I will say though the games mechanics and design is very well done and is very enjoyable for the most part, just everything else mentioned in my review kind of outweighs it.

I want to say goodbye to DOTA 2 once and for all. Finally I can continue on with my life as a normal person.

What isn't there to like?
