"I keep having this...dream. I'm just staring into the black between the stars. There's something there. I know there is. I just can't see it...but it sees me. I can feel it..hate us."

Prey is an action survival horror game made by Arkane Studios. Prey is apparently supposed to be a spiritual successor to System Shock, but unfortunately, I never had the pleasure to play System Shock, so I cannot really comment on that.
Nevertheless, I think it's a very unique and awesome game that I can recommend to anyone who likes survival horror, or some psychological mumbo-jumbo. That's the TL;DR for you, let's get more into details now, aye?

The Story

You play as Morgan Yu, the Director of Research aboard the space station Talos I. You and your brother, Alex Yu, are conducting a research on a hostile alien organism named the Typhon. Now, of course, ♥♥♥♥ goes wrong, and the Typhon escape containment and start murdering the staff and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up everything inside the station. But you're one hell of a smart guy, so you have the perfect contigency plan in case the Typhon escape, blow up the entire station ( including yourself ) so that not a single Typhon can return to Earth. That's basically what I can tell without spoiling some things. Now overall, I thought that the narrative and story was one of Prey's strongest points. The story itself is very engaging and interesting. I also love that you can read emails and listen to recordings from ( the now most likely deceased ) crew members of the ship, and learn about their personalities, what they were doing etc. The story has one really big negative point, which is the ending, but I won't be going into details about that since I don't want to spoil folks.

The Gameplay

Arguably the strongest point of Prey is indeed it's gameplay. You've got a wide variety of weapons to use to defeat the Typhon, ranging from actual security weapons ( Pistols, Shotguns etc. ) to engineer weapons ( GLOO gun, Stun Gun etc.). You can also gain new abilites using Neuromods. There are bunch of useful abilities in the game. You can boost your health, your stamina, but you can also acquire hacking abilities that you can use to gain easy acces into safes, keypads and computers. You can also acquire repair skills that you can either use to repair machinery around Talos I. While progressing through the story, you'll eventually get the Psychoscope, a scope that you can use to scan and research enemy Typhon's abilities. If you scan enough Typhons, you'll be able to use their abilities to. These abilities range from simply mimicking objects around the station to kinetic blasts, mindjacking other people and so on. Also one of the strongest points of the game is the "Play your Way" aspect. There are multiple ways that you can go to achieve your goals. There are lots of places in the game that you can access before you're "meant" to access them. Instead of waiting to find a keycard around the middle of the game, you can simply hack your way in, use the Huntress Boltcaster to open the door from the inside, use the Remote Manipulation typhon ability, or you can just simply find a vent or some other way to access places that you wouldn't have access to at the moment. Feel like acquiring only Human abilities in the game? Feel like acquiring only Typhon abilities? Feel like acquiring no abilities at all? Go for it. There's a bunch of ways to play Prey, and it definitely does make it feel very replayable.

Level and Enemy Design

The level design, as of expected from Arkane Studios, is very great. The entirety of Talos I can be explored once you get the General Access keycard. Each part of the station feels unique, and is filled with interesting lore about the Typhon and how the crew is slowly going mad from all these inhuman researches. Now, about the enemies. Of course, your primary enemies are the Typhon. These alien bastards have quite the varieties. At first, you'll mostly fight Mimics ( Probably the most iconic enemy of the game, the Mimic can turn into any small object around the world to ambush and scare the player ) and Phantoms. Later on in the game you'll encounter new enemies, and new variation of old enemies. Now, in my opinion, all of these enemies have great visual designs. They look intimidating, scary and also kind of badass. But Iam not gonna lie, there are a few enemy types in the game that I just really hate fighting against. Some of the enemies just straight out annoy me instead of making me feel challanged/scared.

The Sound design and some other things to mention

I personally find the game's soundtrack to be great! There's relaxing songs, there are scary songs, there are pop songs, there are a bunch of songs in the game that are good! I wouldn't say that the soundtrack is very memorable, but it is still pretty good nonetheless! The voice acting in the game is amazing. I especially love Alex and the male Morgan Yu's voice, I thought they did a fantastic job on voicing these characters. Unfortunately, one of the biggest cons of Prey is the horrible In-game Sound design. For some reason, the sound setting sliders don't do a freaking thing, so it doesn't really matter what settings you set them on. For some reason, the NPCs and Operator's voices ARE REALLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOUD. Iam not joking, if you encounter an actual living NPC that you can talk with, they'll bust your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eardrums. I have no idea how to fix this issue, but it's really freaking annoying, especially when you're fighting alongside an NPC, and their voices are louder than the action that is going on. Hell, it's probably even louder than your own thoughts. Oh yeah, by the way, the game looks very great graphics-wise. It's got that distinct Dishonored-ish style to it, and I can appreciate that a lot. Alright, here's our pros and cons ladies and gentlemen!

The Pros
- Amazing level design
- "Play Your Way" encourages you to be creative and use your enviroment!
- Great replayability!
- Game is quite long if you take your time exploring the station.
- Very interesting and engaging story! ( Minus the ending of course )
- Great visual design of the Typhon
- Great variety of weapons and skills to choose from
- Awesome voice acting
- There were some jumpscares that really scared me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
- Got some very interesing psychological things here and there about morals and whatnot, and that's always interesing if it's done right.
- Survival mode makes the game even more interesting!

The Cons
- Horrible audio issues
- Some of the Typhon are straight up annyoing to fight against
- The Apex doesn't do ♥♥♥♥, even though it totally could've been an awesome final bossfight
- Late game includes a lot of backtracking, and even though the level design is great, I don't like backtracking.
- The Nightmare mechanic, while sounds good on paper, isn't very engaging. I usually just hide somewhere and use my phone for about a minute or two until it just dissappears.
- The "True" Ending of the game is absolutely horrible. It's a very cheap excuse of a "twist" ending, and feels like some writer pulled it out of his ass at the very last minute. It also creates a bunch of plotholes.

My Final Verdict for Prey 2017 is a very solid 8/10
I gladly recommend Prey for anyone who enjoys survival horror games!

Thanks for reading this review!

Let me start off this review by saying that I love fighting games, especially Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat 9 and X are my favourite fighting games. I love Mortal Kombat 9 and I also really really loved Mortal Kombat X even though it had it's faults. So when I heard that Mortal Kombat 11 is coming out, I was super pumped to finally start playing a great fighting game again. Unfortunately, Mortal Kombat 11 is a big dissappointment. Let me tell you why.

The Story

Netherrealm Studios was once known as the king of fighting game stories, but honestly this entry is just super boring story wise.
What's the story? The story picks up right after the events of Mortal Kombat X. Shinnok has been defated by Yaas Queen Cassie, and Raiden went full emo dark mode because of his amulet. And out of nowhere an anchient villian that we have never seen before, Kronika, appears and starts rewinding time like she's Will Smith or something. Apparently, Kronika needs to get her power level to 9000 using the Hourglass so she can restart the history of the universe. The current timeline merges with the Mortal Kombat 9 timeline, and some already dead characters come back to life. Our hero characters join Raiden in trying to stop Kronika from restarting history. Now, this doesn't sound too bad, right? Well actually the story is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring I never even bothered to finish it. Characters have almost zero personality , the interactions between some characters are just awkward and some of the choices that the heroes/villians make are so illogical that you'll want to fork out your braincells one by one. Now thank god, there are some enjoyable chapters in the story but they ultimately won't save the story from being bad.

The Roster

There's 26 characters at the moment. Now, this roster is fine, since it brings back some of our fan-favourite characters ( Shao Khan, Frost, Jade, Skarlet, Noob Saibot etc. ) but some of the slots are still sort of stupid. I honestly don't like Cetrion, Kano ( ♥♥♥♥ Kano. ) and of course, D'Vora. Iam not sure why anyone would want to have D'vora in this game, all that ♥♥♥♥♥ does is just look ugly and kill our fan favourite characters . Now, what also bothers me, is that Sektor and Cyrax are NPCs in the game. You can fight against them in the story, but they aren't actually playable characters in the game. Please NRS, ♥♥♥♥ off with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You guys did this in MKX with Rain, Sindel and Baraka. If you take the time to re-design these characters and give them a half-complete moveset, then spend some more time on them and release them as an actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ playable character.
As for my thoughts for the DLCs, I'll make it short. ♥♥♥♥ the fact that 50% of each Kombat Pack is going to be guest characters. I know they sell like cakes, but this is Mortal Kombat for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake.

The Mechanics/Gameplay

The heart and the soul of a fighting game. How are the mechanics? I have mixed feelings about them. The rework of the the Meter/Bar system that was in MKX is definitely not an improvement. This time you got 2 offensive bars that you can use to enhance your special moves, and you have two defensive bars that you can use for roll escapes, air escapes etc. Now, Iam not sure why they have done this, I was completely fine with having three bars and I can use them both for combo breakers and to enhance my special moves, but whatever. The new krushing blow system is also kind of weird. While they do look awesome, and feel very satisfying to land, they are either super easy to do or impossibly hard to land. The Fatal Blow system is one of the things that I dislike a lot in this game. Once your HP reaches 30%, you get the opportunity to land a Fatal Blow ( once per match ) that does about 32% damage to the enemy. It's a nice animation that is basically a censored X-ray. This Fatal Blow system would be pretty nice, if for example you could use your Fatal Blow at any given time. I don't like Fatal Blows. The game basically rewards you for getting damage. I think it's a very easy and cheap way to win rounds/matches.
Kombos themselves are fine, although some have some really weird inputs and some kombos just don't hit where they are supposed to. For example, Erron black has a move called "Down Peacemaker" that makes Erron Black shoot at the enemy's feet.
You'd think that shooting at the enemy's feet is registered as a 'Low' attack, but it's actually a 'Mid' attack, that you can block by just standing still and holding the block button. There are lots of moves that register in the wrong place. Sometimes a character clearly hits above the other's head, but it's still considered a mid/high attack. Now, the most retarded mechanic that is in the game is of course Throwing mechanic. Throwing was orignally introduced in fighting games to break your enemy's guard, and damage them a little bit in-case their block is inpenetrable.
Now, MK11's throwing mechanic is a true piece of ♥♥♥♥. Your enemy can grab you with the push of one button, and you'll take about 14% damage from one throw. Now, you can either counter throws by ducking them ( Throws are very hard to react to IMO, so the only way to duck under them is to predict them ) or when you get grabbed, you have to guess which direction they're going to throw you, and press the corresponding button to escape their throw. Now, here comes the funny thing, if you guess wrong which direction are they going to throw you, you take 14% damage, and if you 'Escape failed', the next throw is going to be a Krushing Blow, that's going to deal 34% damage. ♥♥♥♥ that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the enemy just depleted half of your healthbar with one button.

Graphics, Soundtrack and Designs

Now, one thing that I certainly cannot trash in anyways is the graphics. Mortal Kombat 11 is absolutely gorgeous. The game is very pretty. The characters have awesome models, their faces looks really good. The stages, the interactions and the fatalities look very great. The soundtrack is great. I especially like Shang Tsung's Island's music, and some of the main theme songs are also very pleasant to hear.
Now, the design of some of the characters are either really good or really really bad.
Frost's cyber design looks amazing, and I love how she looks. Skarlet on the other hand, a character whom is supposed to get more powerful when blood touches her skin, has a default outfit that covers up all of her skin. Jade's "canon story" outfit also looks very bad. Everyone associates Jade with the color green, but for some reason she has this ugly ass brown outfit. Now, Iam not saying we should go back to the old days of Mortal Kombat where every woman was basically butt naked, but still, some of these designs are very questionable.

I actually really wanted to write some more about the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass skins in the game and the stupid Tower of Times and Time Krystal system but Iam getting close to the word limit of the review.

The Pros

- Amazing Graphics
- Great soundtrack
- Mostly great roster
- Visually very appealing kombos and moves
- Great intro dialogues.
- Great character models
- Krushing Blows look great

The Cons

- Game is still very buggy.
- Hit detection sucks
- Story boring as hell
- Wasted character slots
- Scummy pre-order DLC
- Kombat Pack costs 40$ and half of the pack is composed of guest characters
- Mechanics are utter trash
- Tower of Time grinding
- Online desync issues
- Character costumization is bad ( Characters have 5 skins, and all the other skins are just reskins of these 5 skins )
- Community is trash
- Online is composed of Scorpion players only

My final verdict of Mortal Kombat 11 is a 5/10.
The game for me is a huge dissappointment. It could've been something special, but it just ain't good. I only recommend picking this game up if you can private match against your friends. If you want to play a great Mortal Kombat game, pick up MKXL. It's a much better experience.

It has been such a long time since I've written a review, so let's review the game that I've been playing a lot recently, Dishonored 2. Dishonored 2 is a first person stealth action game, developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.

Story

The game is set fifteen years after the events of the first Dishonored game. Emily Kaldwin, the daughter of the Empress, is now the Empress of the Isles. On the anniversary of Jessamine a mysterious figure, Delilah ( everyone who played the good old Dishonored DLCs should be familiar with that name ) appears on this anniversary and seizes the throne from Emily using the Duke's support. One of the main characters ( either Emily or Corvo ) escapes Dunwall and meets up with a woman named Meagan to sail to Karnaca, The Royal Protector's homeland, to eliminate Delilah's support and take back the throne in Dunwall. That's the basic premise of the game. The Story is fine, although some of the writing is off here-and-there, and the plot feels too much like the first Dishonored.

Gameplay

The gameplay is very similar to the first Dishonored game's gameplay, except it's even smoother. None-Lethal options are much more avaliable to you than in the first game. You still don't have a none-lethal sword unfortunately, but you can stun enemies in combat and choke them out instead of doing a critical strike that murders them. Emily has new powers that you can try out and good old Corvo plays out basically the same. IF you choose to have powers at all. Yes, this installment in the franchise actually gives you a choice of accepting the Outsider's Mark or not, which really shows how powers aren't a necessity, rather just a way to make the game more fun. Oh, you can also craft bonecharms this time, If you buy a particular skill. Other than these, the gameplay is basically identical to the first game's gameplay.

Graphics and Details

The game looks absolutely stunning even on Medium settings. The city of Dunwall looks just like it did in the first game. Mostly colourless, feels like a dead city while Karnaca is full of these wonderful colours and is generally much more alive than what Dunwall feels like. Characters have their same Dishonored style-kinda look. The ammount of detail that is in this game is amazing. The level design is absolutely amazing.For example, The Clockwork Mansion or Crack in the Slab! Holy ♥♥♥♥ those missions! Every single decision you make in the game will change the game in some way. Either the posters on the streets, dialogue of the civilians or major characters will change depending on what you did to certain people. Even the enemy placement and number of enemies change according to your decision. Also a great thing is that if you go High Chaos, both of our main characters will become a lot more sinister than what they were before.

Soundtrack and a few things to mention

The Soundtrack is absolutely beautiful, I love it! The music during sneaking, during combat is really good! You can also find musician bands across Karnaca whom also sing really beautiful songs! Low Chaos and High Chaos also has different soundtracks. Now a few things that I wanted to mention. This time Corvo Attano is a fully voiced character instead of the original "silent" protagonist that he was in Dishonored. And I absolutely love it. His voice actor is absolutely amazing. Actually, almost every single voice actor in this game is phenominal. Sure this game had some optimization problems when it first came out, But now it should be totally fine. I can play this game on Medium settings without any problems even though my video card isn't really powerful. So if you loved the first Dishonored game, do check this one out since in my opinion this game is even better than the first one.

Pros
-Amazing game design
-Two playable characters. The Empress Emily Kaldwin or the Royal Protector Corvo Attano
-Absolutely great level design
-Crack in the Slab Mission
-Clockwork Mansion Mission
-Lot of replayability
-Voice acting is top notch
-Awesome gameplay
-Really great attention even to small details

Cons

-The game won't make much sense if you haven't played the two DLCs that the first game has. If you haven't played those, be ready to fire up Wikipedia or Youtube because the game will be confusing at first.
-Ending Slides are kinda short and unfinished.
-Sequel Baiting.
-The Story is kind of too similar to the first game's story now that I think about it.

My Final Verdict for Dishonored 2 is a very strong 9/10
I absolutely love this game. It really deserved 2016's best action game award. I can easily recommend this awesome game for fans of the Dishonored franchise.

Thank you very much for reading this review!

While I personally really really love this DLC, it is definitely not worth the ammount of money they charge for it. I'll tell you exactly what is good and what is bad in this DLC, but if you want to read a short version , then here you go: Ashes of Ariandel , while being a cool DLC with a fantastic area ( probably my favourite area in the whole Dark Souls franchise ), lacks content, interesting enemies, areas to explore, and is just overall not worth the 14,99€ price, but if its on a sale, you should consider buying it! ( Short version ends here ) Now, letme tell you what I absolutely love in this DLC, and what I absolutely hated in this DLC.

The Story

The DLC starts with you finding Slave Knight Gael in the Cleansing Chapel praying to some kind of goddess. He will recognize that you're unkindled Ash, and he will ask you to "show her flame that will burn away the rot " Upon agreeing, our good friend Gael will teleport you to the Painted World of Ariandel. The story starts out pretty strong, and quite frankly the main storyline of the DLC is actually pretty cool and interesting, although I find the "secondary storyline" to be NON-EXSISTENT. The overall story is fine, although to be honest it doesn't really connect with the main story of the game and it barerly has any connection to the second DLC.

The Area, the enemies and the loot

Just as I have mentioned earlier, the Painted World is probably the most beautiful area in the Dark Souls franchise.I absolutely love how detailed it looks like. The first area (Snowfield) is a good looking area. While the area might seem huge, there isn't actually many options or ways to go. The enemies of this area are probably the biggest pieces of ♥♥♥♥ I've ever fought in Dark Souls 3 ( apart from Thieves and the Serpent-Men ) There are three types of enemies you will encounter in this area : the Millwood knights these Frost-Wolves or whatever they are called (basically a reskin of the undead dogs) and some Tree-Women, who really, aren't even worth mentioning, since you can cut them down in two hits and they can't really move, so you can just run past them. In this are you will be able to loot some good stuff,but nothing here is really spectacular ( Although I gotta admit, I absolutely love the Millwood Knight Armour ) The second and the third area are my favourite areas. They look AMAZING! The second area is mainly where you are going to spend your time, and honestly, its a nice area with very little ammount of loot. The third area looks awesome, but its quite annoying! It only serves as a place where the boss takes place, nothing more. theres like 5-6 enemies there, one spell and that is it really! But hey, at least the spell is a frost spell. Finally frost damage type gets more love.

The Bosses

I'll try to go mostly spoiler free on the bosses. This DLC has two bosses, one of them is a hidden boss and the other one is the main boss of the DLC. The Main boss of the DLCSister Elfriede and Father Ariandel are probably my favourite bosses in the Souls universe! Also worth to mention that they are probably the toughest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in this trilogy! While some people find this boss tedious, I personally think its very well done! The visuals look awesome in the phases and also the music..gosh I love the OST for this boss!) Overall this boss is a really cool boss, I love it!
Well, the same can't be said about the hidden boss fight of this DLC. The hidden boss fight is quite simple, nothing really spectacular, comes off lame and even fustrating sometimes! The first phase is particularly boring and while the second phase's start comes off really interesting,as soon as you'll see the enemy you encounter in the boss fight and you instantly know that this is going to be boring as hell. Alright, now let's gather the cons and pros-

Pros
-Beautiful area! Its porbably my favourite area in the game!
-The Main Boss is probably the hardest boss in the entire series!
-Good armour
-Frost spells finally got some love!
-The Arena PVP
-The DLC has an interesting lore

Cons
-Some areas are very lazy.
-Annoying enemies
-Lame Hidden Boss
-Too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ short for the ammount of money you have to pay. If you know what you're doin', you can speedrun the entire DLC in like 45 minutes.
-The DLCs plot isn't really important. It doesn't have any connections to the main game, and it hardly has any connections to the Ringed City itself.
-Loot isn't so much and neither it is so great.
-WAY TOO MUCH PLATFORMING

My Final Verdict : 5/10.
While I do enjoy most of the DLC, it is definitely not worth that price. But to be honest, if its on a sale, you might as well pick it up, since you might actually like it despite its flaws. But for its current 14,99€ price tag, I cannot recommend this DLC for you.

Thanks for reading this review!

So, after putting a lot of hours into all of the Dark Souls games I decided to write a review about this awesome game! Dark Souls 3 is the third and the last Dark Souls game in the franchise, and frankly, it is a worth end to the series. Now let's talk about some aspects of the game.

The Story

Ever Since Gwyn has linked the first flame, there were countless other heroes that relinked the first flame so that the age of fire can continue. The current four Lords of Cinder rise from their grave because the fire is threatened. These lads are supposed to re-link the flame so the age can continue, but instead of doing that, they would rather watch the flame die out. So the flame wakes up the Unkindled. You are one of these unkindled ash. Your job is to bring the Lords of Cinders back to their thrones. Either alive or as ashes. My overall opinion of the story is that its pretty awesome, but can be really confusing sometimes..and it needs a lot of reading.

The Gameplay

Dark Souls 3's gameplay is basically Dark Souls 1's gameplay, but with a lot of fixes and balances ( and some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ )
You still have the same main stats, but some of them either got removed, or they were made into one stat ( Endurance no longer gives you more equip load. Instead, equip load can be raised by spending points in Vitality. And also, the Resistance stat from Dark Souls 1 is completely gone, you can't invest points directly into resistance ) Also, because of a lore aspect, you no longer have the option to stack up Humanity. Actually, Humanity is quite gone from this game, instead you use Embers to restore your link to the other worlds and also give you an HP boost which lasts as long as you're alive. ( To Simplify it , once you use an ember you can be invaded, but you can also summon other people to help you at certain areas ) Summons ( also Invaders ) also have the option to use Estus ( although the overall Estus you can use while being summoned is reduced ) Now you can also equip up to four Rings!
Oh and one other thing, Poise is completely broken. Covenants also return, and quite frankly some of them are really fun and give you good rewards, while some of them are totally dead. For example, The Blade of the Darkmoon ( my favourite covenant from DS1 ) is utter ♥♥♥♥♥ in this game, since you can't level up, because the covenant itself relies on another covenant
( Way of Blue ) which is a completely dead covenant on levels above 25.
Overall, the gameplay is pretty cool, you have a lot of variety in Magic Stuff ( Pryomancy, Offensive or Healing Miracles, Sorceries , Dark Sorceries/Miracles/Pryomancies ) and you also have a ton of Melee weapons to use. This makes DS3's replayability INSANE, because you can literally make ALMOST ANY KIND OF BUILD you want.

The Controls

I highly recommend using a controller. 'Nuff Said. I think the controlls are good, but if this is your first Souls experience, you gotta get used to it first.

The Graphics, areas and armour

This game is super gorgerous! It looks amazing in almost every area! I especially love how Irithyl looks like, with all that snow and stuff. Superb! I really like how some weapons got some extra details ( Boss Weapons look amazing! ) The enemies are also very nicely detailed. Almost all of the areas look very cool, but honestly there were some areas that could've been bigger and better detailed. For example, the Profaned Capital is a joke. It's basically a 5 minute run to the boss and that's it. The armour in Dark Souls 3 is really good! There are a lot of armour from DS1, for example you can get Lautrec's armour..or Artorias's armour. You can do a lot of cosplay by combining other armour pieces together. Overall they have a lot of variety.

Some things that are worth mentioning

Dark Souls 3 continues DS1's and DS2's trend with having some ridicolously easy bosses. Wolnir, Deacons of the Deep, Crystal Sage and the Anchient Wyern are basically a joke. Dark Souls 3 also continues the other trend from the other games, which is that the main guys you are supposed to defeat are probably one of the easiest bosses. The Abyss Watchers themselves aren't so hard, Yhrom the Giant is a complete joke. Aldrich isn't so particularly hard either. Although thank god the Twin Princes actually manage to put up some kind of challange. I would've enjoyed if most of these bosses put up some kind of challange
Also, there are the Invaders. I myself don't have a really big problem with invading, but some people really don't like how this entire system works. Alright, that about covers most of what I wanted to say, let's gather the cons and pros.

Pros
-Fitting end to the Series
-Lore is quite interesting
-Awesome gameplay mechanics
-Good variety of magic or pure melee weapons
-INSANE ammount of builds. You can almost make any kind of build you want.
-Graphics are awesome
-LOT of throwbacks to Dark Souls 1.
-Forgot to mention, this game has an amazing soundtrack!
-Most of the bosses are really well done.
-Can be played as coop game almost entirely.
-PVP
-Lot of NPC questlines

Cons
- The main Lord of Cinders were pretty easy to defeat. Yhorm the Giant was pretty dissapointing.
-Some areas in the game got very little ammount of detail. The Proned Capital had some potention, but it was completely wasted.
-Poise sucks arse. It's broken. It does not work.
-♥♥♥♥ Covenant farming.
-The insane ammount of lag in PVP. People can literally hit you with a broken straight sword 3 meters in front of you. I don't know if PVP is designed that way or not, but they definitely should do something about it.Sometimes you land a huge hit, and the enemy easily rolls through it, despite the fact that seemingly you hit the dude in the nuts.

My Final Verdict : 9/10.
If you already have completed Dark Souls 1, and loved it, I definitely recommend you to purchase Dark Souls 3! If you have not yet played any kind of Souls game, its still worth to pick up, but you'll need some time to get used to it. This is an awesome end to this awesome series!

Thanks for reading this review!

i have two serious regrets so far in my life.
the first one is that i didn't kiss that girl i should've on my graduation. i wish i could change that
the second one is that i purchased Fallout 4 and it's Season Pass for full price. i wish i could ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ change that.

Short version : if this game would have 19,99 price tag and the title would be Call of Duty then i would give it a minimum 9/10. but selling this ♥♥♥♥ as 'FALLOUT' for 59,99 is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ robbery. if you loved Fallout 1 or Fallout 2 or Fallout New Vegas .. don't bother with this one.

Long Version : Game of the Year? my ASS!
what the ♥♥♥♥? is this game really called as Fallout?
THIS IS THE FALLOUT 4 EVERYONE WAS WAITING FOR?
♥♥♥♥ No.
Okay..let me tell you why i think this game sucks ass.

The System

Remember in Fallout New Vegas you had tons of ending , a LOT of dialouge choices , and lot of unique locations with interesting side quests? even better question , are you looking for these in Fallout 4? Yes? then don't even try to buy this game. this game is nothing like Fallout New Vegas , or FO1-FO2 .. ♥♥♥♥ that! its not even as good as Fallout 3 was! ( i actually loved Fallout3) remember that in Fallout 3 and New Vegas Karma determined what kind of person you are? the Devil or the Angel of the Wasteland? man i really hoped i will have a lot of Karma options in Fallout4..BUT NO. KARMA SYSTEM IS GONE! ITS NOT IN THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GAME. you're either a douchebag hero who saves the Commonwealth or you're a kind hero who saves the Commonwealth. Oh yeah the tons of dialouge options? ♥♥♥♥ THAT! In Fallout 4 you have 4 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dialouge options. 1, Yes 2, No , 3 Question 4, Maybe ( Maybe just leads you back to either yes , no or question ) what the ♥♥♥♥ dude? what the ♥♥♥♥? oh and the lot of endings...well Fallout 4 supposed to have like 4 endings..one ending for each faction...but its really just two endings. one of these endings is unique and the other one is some epic ♥♥♥♥ , but it looses its epicness by getting copied and pasted like 3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ times , with no changes except that there are different NPCs standing by your side.

The Story and The Quests

The Story..♥♥♥♥.♥♥♥♥♥♥ as ♥♥♥♥. i mean it starts out as an interesting and exciting story , but in the end it fails to be good!
You're playing with the "Sole Survivor" who has a happy life with his/her wife/husband! you two also have a kid called Shaun ( ♥♥♥♥ Shaun ) who both of you love. then of course ♥♥♥♥ starts to happen , and you have to escape with your family to the nearest Vault called Vault 111. After sleeping for like 140 years , you wake up in your cryo pod and see your wife/husband getting shot and that some strangers take away your little Shaun. after that you step out of your cryo pod you are like : alright ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ , lets find my son
i mean this sounds pretty interesting! and exciting! i was really hyped for this story! i mean it started out really good , and when i got to the half of the story , everything went upside down.
at that point , Bethesda throws the worse ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ twist at you ever , and then you just have to choose with which factions you will work with.
i mean in Fallout New Vegas this was basically the same ( except there were no ♥♥♥♥♥♥ twists like this one ) but in Fallout New Vegas Factions actually made sense. In Fallout 4 however , factions don't make any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense.
The Institute is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke. the main EDIT : okay well let's not call them the Villain Faction because they weren't really bad dudes..they were just like every Faction in this game , is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke to be honest. i mean in Fallout 3 the Enclave had some real sense behind their actions , but the institute does not make any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense. Spoiler : their idea is to seal themselfes forever so Humanity can survive. WTF. Railroad equals ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hippies trying to free ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ toaster machines.
Now the Minuteman and the Brotherhood of Steel are the only factions that make sense! the Minuteman faction would be pretty good , if Preston Garvey wouldn't throw ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ settlement quests to you all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time you want to speak with him.
On the other hand , i liked the Brotherhood of Steel. seriously. they're probably the only reason i enjoyed this game.
the Side quests are really ♥♥♥♥♥♥! in FO3 and New Vegas , there were really fun and interesting side quests! in here , its either fetch this or go here , kill these and come back for caps! OR , you could do the real side quests , which are just boring go here kill that and done! ♥♥♥♥. that. ♥♥♥♥. ( worth mentioning : on the other hand Far Harbor DLC has really good side quests! )

Combat and Weapons

Combat is pretty much is the only thing Fallout 4 gets right , so good job! they improved the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ combat of the previous Fallout games , so good job.
On the other hand , weapons in this game suck ass. you have two choices : wood weapons or real guns
i mean there are these wooden guns...the concept itself is good , i mean sure they can make guns out of wood , but why the ♥♥♥♥ is almost every gun in this game made out of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wood? you liked Energy Weapons in Fallout3 and NV? ( i LOVED energy weapons ) well too bad for you! you have like 4-6 kind of energy weapons (most of them are either a mini verson of the gun or just a completely usueless crap :P)! now go and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!
liked Plasma weapons? pff get the ♥♥♥♥ out of here

Overall : if this game would be like 20 euros and it would have a different name , 10 out of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10. but since this is Fallout , the game which was Hyped beyond ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ space , THIS ♥♥♥♥ IS UNACCEPTABLE.

Things i liked :

-Improved Combat
-Far Harbor
-Brotherhood of Steel
-Voiced Protagonist
-Not Bad Graphics
-EDIT: though i said that the Side Quests are pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ , there are some exceptions. there were a few i liked!
-EDIT: i liked Cait. she's a really good companion. ( also Dogmeat :D )
Things i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hated :

-♥♥♥♥♥♥ Story
-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mind♥♥♥♥ twist
-No Karma System
-No Interesting Sidequests
-Every Area that you clear just respawns every single enemy that you already killed!
-Piece of ♥♥♥♥ Season Pass.
-Some Voice Actors sucked.
-the fact that this is Fallout 4
-the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ endings.
-limited dialouge options
-the fact that i spent 60+60 dollar and i got nothing worth of my money.
-that i have to give a negative review for a Fallout game

Overall : i personally give this game a 3/10. this game was just not worth the hype and definietly not worth the ammount of money i spent on it.
PS: remember , this is just my personal opinion! maybe you'll enjoy this game! peace out lads!
