Awesome to see what the team have done with this game.

Still very basic but excited to see where it goes especially with mods

Yeah pretty average COD

Just released too early and follows the current trend in the industry of releasing half baked games for premium prices. Admittedly I am partly to blame as yet another person to buy this - but can most people be blamed after being stuck at home during this pandemic. Regardless of if people buy or not the point still stands - it is not acceptable to launch ANY AAA game in this state, especially for a premium price! To sum it up in many other's words - we paid to play what really amounts to a Beta Test. I will update this review in future if the game ever reaches an acceptable state.

Insane issues with vehicles and hard to spot enemy players. Would really like to like this game but I just can't enjoy it when I can't even see the enemy.

At the amount of hours this review is at, I managed to complete everything in the game bar the remaining endings and combat related achievements. I would recommend Cyberpunk, but with caution, now I am fully finished I don't feel like there is much left for me to do or see. That being said however I did really like the content while it lasted and became immersed in the world, making it the game of my choice to play while I was progressing. Despite the bugginess I still had fun and I hope this game makes a No-Mans-Sky-Esque return in the coming years. I will definitely be returning in the future for the DLC and Multiplayer at the very least! So in the end, is it worth its $100 NZD pricetag? In all honesty it depends on the player...

Great game, unlimited things to do and above all else a great one to relax to.

Cities Skylines has been the go to game for city building for several years. I myself was rather late to the party, only having played Sim City previously. What I discovered when I finally opened this game was a clean slate for almost unlimited creativity. The base game includes far enough to keep you entertained for hours with most of the Downloadable Content well worth the money it costs if you get hooked. It also comes with a Steam Workshop cram packed with additional maps, vehicles, buildings and mods. In summary, this is the perfect game to keep installed to boot up once again on a rainy day or late night, to create a metropolis over months or a town in day. Well worth its price.

To get straight to the point, this is a title that still holds up in 2020 and will continue to in the future. Just Cause 3 takes you on an explosive adventure through the nation of Medici, balancing it's story missions with free roam, where you can go about liberating towns and destroying military bases. It took me around 30 hours to finish the story and completely liberate the islands but the great thing about this game is you can go as fast or slow as you want, creating havoc 'just cause' or just taking some time to enjoy the beautiful graphics and scenery this game has to offer. Overall, to me a must play game.

As a player who wanted to play this casually for enjoyment I cannot recommend it. A playthrough on even the easiest settings felt almost painful due to overly punishing timers, unrealistic objectives and a lack of checkpoints (for example nearly finishing a mission before dieing and being sent back to the middle). This is pretty disappointing considering I brought a joystick especially to play this and how amazing the graphics look and combat feels. My thoughts overall on this game is that if it wasn't brought down by its difficulty to new players and poor mission design it could be great, however it's just not worth the price it's at right now especially considering that the multiplayer is dead.
