Forza Horizon 5 is a 2021 racing video game developed by Playground Games and published by Xbox Game Studios.

👋 First impression

My first expectations of the game were based largely on the previous game in the series, not anyone but the iconic Forza Horizon 4. Unlike most people, I was expecting exactly a game that was quite similar to the previous one with very slight improvements, and it lived up to those slight expectations. My first impressions when I got into the game were kind of mixed. I certainly saw the improved graphics and I really liked how much fresher the game itself was based in Mexico. FH4, which was based in England, was quite "colder"

✔️Pros
❌Cons
• Amazing range of customization

• Exquisite attention to detail, with gorgeous lighting
• So many races and challenges
• Drivatars are unbalanced

🎮 Gameplay

I'm pretty happy with the gameplay itself. Whether I want to play singleplayer or multiplayer I know I can have fun playing either mode. I want to pay more attention to the multiplayer, however. I spent quite a few hours in it and had quite a few good moments, but like everything else there were some downsides. I've run into hackers in a few sessions, but I've seen people complain about their far more frequent occurrence. I've personally seen hackers quite rarely, but it's not like they don't exist. I've also seen quite a few modded max level accounts and so on, which is pretty ugly and unprofessional for a game of this level.
That aside the multiplayer is a wonderful place with room for everyone. Want pure races of various kinds? There's Horizon Open for you. Prefer to drift? There is a special place where all drifting competitions are organized. Or maybe you fell in love with the battle royale modе that was added in FH4? Well, it's here too, so I guess there's something for everyone to enjoy.

🥇 Achievements

The game currently has 97 achievements. You can do quite a few of them by going through the game's story, as well as through the Hot Wheels DLC. The ones you won't get by going through the singleplayer are pretty fun and show different details of the game that you might not notice unless you're focused on getting those exact achievements, but I really think it's worth the try to be completed.

🔥 Difficulty

Aside from the intro to the game, you'll be able to alter your difficulty settings at any time in Forza Horizon 5. It pretty much depends on you. You can either make the game very easy for you or very hard. I suggest starting with the lower difficulties and gradually working your way up. I know you'll see yourself taking more money as you raise the difficulty, but you'll make a lot of money anyway just by playing and forget about watching your credits. Ignore them and you won't know when you have so much money that you don't know how you can even spend.

💻 Graphics / Art-style

The graphics are very beautiful. So beautiful that they make you feel warm inside while looking at them. And that big open world that you can roam around and explore... The graphics are so good that a lot of players like to just set up cruises with each others, drive slowly and enjoy. What can I say about Photo mode... I'll let the pictures speak for me.

🎼 Soundtrack

The Soundtrack of Forza Horizon 5 features over 100 songs available through six radio stations, each with a different genre and host. However i prefer to listen to my playlists on Spotify but some people prefer the in-game music and it ok so i don't mind it.

📊 Performance

I had no problems at all.

📋 Conclusion

The game isn't that new anymore and it gets discounted often, so I think it's best to wait for a discount and when you see it get it right away. The game is truly unique and worth your time.

Terraria is an action-adventure sandbox game developed by Re-Logic.

👋 First impression

I've known about the game for a while, but I didn't want to try it because it had old graphics and people often compared it to Minecraft, but in the end it was well worth the experience.

✔️Pros
❌Cons
• Incredible amount of different weapons and classes

• Beautiful 2D world
• No cons for this masterpiece

🎮 Gameplay

Ah ... What an adventure. You start by cutting down a tree and building a small rectangle for your first npc friend in the game, and you end up fighting aliens, crazy cultists, and other mad things. I thought I was getting into a relaxing game that wouldn't bother me at all, but ... well, I can say that there were some bosses who got me on my toes.

Crafting

Crafting in this game is the thing that made the biggest and best impression to me. There are so many things you can do other things with ... When you're at the beginning of the game, it can swallow you. The most important thing is not to worry about using the internet in this game. The right way to play is with 25 tabs in Google Chrome open at the same time while trying to find the right item to craft.

Mechanics

At the beginning of the game, it is very important to build platforms that can be used to avoid the attacks of the bosses. I haven't played the game before this last patch, but as far as I've seen, videos showing people defeating bosses in an "easy" way with minimal movement are now updated and not working, so your mechanics will play a key role in your playthrough. Here may be the time to mention that I personally played in Expert and I was not alone, but а duo with a friend of mine.

🥇 Achievements

After the last patch of the game there are a total of 104 achievements. A lot of them can be completed while preparing for bosses, end game, etc. Others want you to craft an item or do something, not that hard. In general, the achievements are not so difficult and can also be a good guide when you are wondering what to do. However, there is one achievement that will haunt you. HELPER MINION is the name of this nightmare. Remember this name and when you get into the game and have only this achievement left, come back to this review and leave a comment. The day I write this review I have 170 hours in the game and I am on quest number 158. Almost there, buds.


🔥 Difficulty

Honestly, I haven't tried the game in classic mode, but in expert mode it's not that easy, so I don't want to think about how it will be in master mode. However, if you do not have much time and just want to relax in the game, there is a modе for that. It was added in the latest patch 1.4 and is called journey mode. There a lot of things are made much easier and non-committal. In short, the game is as difficult as the player wants it to be.

💻 Graphics / Art-style

The game is as beautiful as 2D graphics allow it to be. I find many of the things that can be found in the world of Terraria to be quite sweet and beautiful.

🎼 Soundtrack

Terraria has over eighty music tracks across every version of the game. Each one will play and loop endlessly while the player is in a specific biome or while certain events are taking place. All the music in Terraria was composed by Scott Lloyd Shelly of Resonance Array. I didn't have to play music from YouTube at all, so I find the game's music good and fitting.

📊 Performance

I had no problems at all.

Game tested on:
CPU
GPU
RAM
i7-9700K-BOX 3.6GHz
Asus Rog Strix RTX 2080 Ti
2x8GB

📋 Conclusion

The game itself is cheap and definitely worth the full price, so if you think you want to play it a lot, don't hesitate and take it. Waiting for a discount is also not a bad idea to save some money, but be sure to take this game. For the time you can spend in it, this amount of money is negligible.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure role-playing video game, developed and published by CD Projekt RED that was released December 10, 2020.

👋 First impression

Unlike a lot of people, I found out about the game much later, which means I didn't wait as long as some other people to play it. After learning about it and deciding to take it, I thought it was another game based on what our planet might look like in the future. Then I started playing and slowly got into the game, which helped me realize that I had been wrong so far.

✔️Pros
❌Cons
• Very good story

• Impresive detail to cutting with blades

• Beautiful and huge open world
• Lags on specific parts in the open world

• Police is not well done

• Expirienced crashes whenever i alt+tab while OBS is opened.

🎮 Gameplay

Cyberpunk is an open world with an FPS style in which players are able to customize their characters however they want in many different ways. Exploring Night City, shooting weapons, close combat and hacking. All this in order to pass the main and side missions.

•Exploring:
Exploring the city is strongly recommended because only then can you find all the fast travel points to move faster when you think you have enjoyed the beautiful city enough. It is also recommended because this way you find the random quests that will not be displayed on your map. But the most important thing is just to be able to enjoy the views in and out of Night City. The developers have really tried to make it lively and beautiful.

•Weapons:
The weapon system in Cyberpunk 2077 is very good for me personally. We have the standard classes - common, uncommon, rare, epic and legendary. The weapons also have additional damage like electric, toxic and fire. They look good visually, but they don't matter much. I think more could have been done here. Many of the games offer damaged effects to have a stronger effect on some types of opponents and less on others. For example, the toxic should work more on robots, fire on humans and so on.

Despite the small mistake of shooting weapons, I must note that I have absolutely no objections to melee weapons. In my opinion, they are quite original, there is no repetitions of the blows and the damage is reasonable.

Many of the legendary weapons are hidden in various locations on the map and can be taken completely free and without the need to go through missions or give in-game currency, which is very positive in my opinion.

•Skill trees:
The game offers many different builds for your character. You can play stealth, melee, brawler, just with guns, hacker or whatever else you can think of. Something I don't think the game performed well with is the presentation to the players. How to get different points to different skills, how we should develop and so on. It took me a lot of time and a lot of watched videos about different things to figure out how to handle them. When I realized how things work, I was impressed by how many different ways you can actually develop your V.

•Crafting:
The crafting system is made in a very interesting way. In order to be able to take full advantage of it, you actually have to develop your character as a crafter. It's nice when you score the necessary points from skills you can craft various legendary and epic items, of course if you have found the recipes for them, which is not so easy. Based on what other skill trees offer, I don't think it's worth developing as a crafter, though. With all these videos on YouTube, you can put together complete sets of legendary armor and weapons without much effort, and I think the developers did not anticipate this factor. If it weren't for all these location videos and so on, developing your character as a crafter would be worth a lot more, as you wouldn't be able to get legendary sets so easily.

•Police:
I also want to say a few words about the police. I just don't feel like it's right. My first complaint is that there is no persecution. No matter what you do, there is simply no persecution. My other complaint is about the higher level of the police. Well, it just destroys you. You have no chance of resistance or anything. It's in the game, but it's just not an interesting part of it. It needs a little development.


📖 Story

As the developers have said, your every decision is important for how the game will develop for you. This is shown from the beginning. The game gives you 3 choices to start with:

-The Corpo-Rat - V starts in the Arasaka Tower, where Arthur Jenkins gives them a job to take out another corporate employee.

-The Nomad - V, a lone nomad on their way to Night City, has car issues on the border to the badlands and is forced to seek the services of a local mechanic.

-Street Kid - V is running a job for Kirk Sawyer, who provides them with the technology to steal a high-end Rayfield Aerondight owned by Kaoru Fujioka.

I will not go into more detail about the differences between these three starts. Despite such a promising start, the game always comes to a point where everything is the same for all three variants of V, which is a bit disappointing, but I still appreciate the diligence that people have put in. A lot of people complain about the fact that the game gets to the same point, but I can't think of many other titles that have even had different starts, so I don't think it's right to complain about that.

The game is really quite modernized. It offers you the option to find a partner regardless of your gender or what gender you are interested in. You have to be very careful what you do with each character, because every decision you make can screw things up about the relationship you want to have with that character. Be careful about that. The side quests are done in a great and exciting way too.

💻 Graphics / Art-style

The graphics are great even at the lowest settings. The characters are made in many different and interesting ways. Also to this section I should note how impressed I am with photo mode. Different angles, poses, smiles, blurs, even have filters and stickers. This is something I'm seeing for the first time in a game and I'm really positively impressed and I really hope other games take an example and add similar features too.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2344907149

🎼 Soundtrack

Ever since the first Cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer, we’ve known that the game was going to have one banging soundtrack. We have different music styles - rock, punk, hip-hop, and rap with an electronic undertone riding throughout nearly every track.

Something in which Cyberpunk is the first game to do is the non copyrighted music! God bless the human being who came up with that idea. They have dealt with the problems that have plagued many YouTubers and streamers for some time. I hope the other games start doing such thing too.

📊 Performance

Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of bugs and during those 110 hours I played the game I encountered a lot of them. Most were pretty fun, I can't lie. I really laughed out loud in my room. Others, however, were quite disturbing and irritating. Spontaneous deaths, the car does not come when I call her and so on. Also, despite the powerful computer I have, I did not feel free to make the most of the graphics and see the full beauty of the game. There are certain zones in which whatever you do will lag until you get out of there.

Dying Light is an open world first-person survival horror video game developed by Techland and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.


👋 First impression

Before I entered this game, I thought that this would be another game representing the world in a zombie apocalypse and there would be nothing different in it from the others. When I came in and saw that my character was just parachuting from a plane into an area full of zombies, I realized that the game would be very good.

✔️Pros
❌Cons
• Very good story

• Amazing blood details

• One great parkour system

• An open world to kill as many zombies as you want
• Sometimes the game crashes when i Alt + Tab

🎮 Gameplay

•Combat:
The gameplay takes place in a city full of zombies named Harran. The battles are mainly in melee range with melee weapons like swords, wrenches, knives, pipes etc. I say mainly because they are not just melee weapons. There are also guns that are used mainly to eliminate bandits, as they block many melee strikes and can take a long time until someone is killed by such a weapon. Some of them even have other rifles.

•Weapons:
Melee weapons are a lot of fun to use because you can cut off the heads of zombies and see them flying around, and as for guns, they are pretty straight forward. There is no bullet drop, which is normal. I doubt anyone would get into the game and start thinking about bullet drop, i mean this is not Battlefield. Something that impressed me, however, was the bow. Shooting with it can be a little bit weird and take some time to get used to. There's a arrow drop on it.

•Day and Night:
Dying Light has day and night and the two are completely different not only because it gets darker or lighter. What distinguishes night from day are Volatiles and the fact that other zombies get damage buffs and can also climb walls like the runners. Players can also use environmental traps, such as spikes and electrified fences to kill the infected. Daytime will last for approximately 64 minutes, while night time will last for approximately 7 minutes.

•Crafting & Blueprints:
Crafting in this game is something very important. Whether you want to get seriously involved in modifying weapons or you just want to make a simple medkit, you have to craft. You can upgrade your weapons, which increase their stats, make modifications that add some elements to your weapons, such as electricity or poison, or you can make some potions, medkits or lockpicks.
I told you the sweet tales of crafting, but as you know, if something is too good, then there is a catch. To craft such things, you first need their blueprint. Then you have to gather all the materials that the blueprint wants and then you can craft.

•Level & skills:
You can raise levels in many different ways. From jumping on buildings to killing zombies. Each level up gives you a skill point that you can use in certain skill trees. There are five perk trees: Survival, Agility, Power, Driver, and Legend. Survival is your overall skill tree. You will see how to earn points in each category while you play. Just to mention that Driver skill tree is available in The Following DLC.

•Multiplayer:
I personally haven't played much online. Only a few times with a friend, but I haven't been to ''Be the Zombie'', for example. Co-op allows a maximum of 4 people to play together, pass quests or make challenges. In "Be the Zombie" you can play as the Night Hunter, which is considered the most evolved type of zombie in Dying Light . The players who are playing as humans are tasked with destroying the infected nests and surviving attacks performed by the Night Hunter.

📖 Story

Dying Light is an action survival game presented in first-person perspective. In the story of the game, you play the role of Kyle Crane, an undercover operative who is sent in Harran to find an important file from a rogue political figure. I personally find the story very interesting and obsessive. The game really grabbed my interest and managed to develop some connection between me and the characters in the story, especially with Jade. (💔)

🔥 Difficulty

At the beginning of the game it is quite difficult because you have almost no weapons, and the ones you have break easily and are weak. However, when you get to the point where you find weapons more often and open enough chests, the game becomes fairly easy at least on normal difficulty. For comparison, I will say that after the normal difficulty there are 2 more difficulties. One is Hard Mode and the other is Nightmare Mode. Things naturally get rough there, in case the game seems too easy for you. I should also mention that playing at night is not easy even on normal difficulty with all these volatiles and I don't even want to imagine what a night run in Nightmare mode is.

💻 Graphics / Art-style

The graphics are beautiful. The zombies are really well made and I just love the animations of killing them. The way the picture slows down to see how you cut off a zombie's head is just an indescribable sight. I should also mention how beautiful it is when, for example, Volatile catches you. It's only beautiful if you watch them catch someone else and not yourself tho.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2147667298

🎼 Soundtrack

21 tracks totaling 1 hour and 10 minutes, in YouTube Music
A very nice soundtrack. It really fits in very well with the game and gives you that feeling that makes you stand on your toes even when you know there's nothing scary around.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Target audience

The game focuses on people who like scary, zombie apocalypse and parkour games like Dead Island, 7 Days to Die or Mirror's Edge, as well as fans of story-rich games such as Metro Exodus.

📊 Performance

The game performed very well with the few exception I put up in the cons. For some reason, when Alt + Tab the game crashes and i have to restart my computer.

Game tested on:
CPU
GPU
RAM
i7-9700K-BOX 3.6GHz
Asus Rog Strix RTX 2080 Ti
2x8GB

📋 Conclusion

The game is really worth it and you should not miss the opportunity to add it to your library. Although the game is worth the full price, I recommend you wait for a discount, as the game is already 5 years old and gets discounts quite often. I also recommend that you get the Enhanced Edition, as there isn't much difference in discount prices anyway.

❤️ My Favorite Moments

At this link you can see the compilation I did with my best moments in this game and get an idea of ​​how much fun it really is. My channel also contains all the videos in which I go through the story and the quests in case you don't wanna play the game but only watch it. I hope you like it.

Need for Speed: Heat is the twenty-ninth game in the Need for Speed series, and the fourth developed by Ghost Games.

This review is entirely from my point of view and from what I have experienced while playing the game.

Before I bought this game, I wondered for a long time if it was worth it, because the company does not have a good name. Especially not in front of me either, as I have very bad memories from EA. (NFS World Gang Here). In the end, I decided to buy the game because I wanted to play a racing game anyway, and the game just came into Steam so it was like a sign from above. Keep in mind that I bought it with the idea that the game will not last long and that I will try to enjoy the single player to the fullest and not expect much from multiplayer.

✔️ Pros
❌ Cons
•Beautiful visuals
•Decent car selection
•The best car customization system in the series
•A lot of grinding required
•Cops get too aggressive too fast
•Lack of single player content

📖 Story

The Story of Need for Speed: Heat follows the player as he arrives in Palm City to participate in the Speedhunters Showdown. The more races you go through, the more you draw the attention of the police.
During the day you make money and a reputation for your legal racing career, and at night you build a reputation for your illegal racing career.

I think the main story is too short, but the additional quests contribute well to the single-player campaign. Driving Stories or "the side quests" are quite interesting because they include drift and off-road racing. I could see that they put a lot of effort into them and I was especially impressed by the off-road races, though there were very few of them. As I mention in the cons above, there is lack of single player content. The average completition time of the campaign is only 14 hours. Although they are well made I think they could add more content.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2133934275

🎮 Gameplay

Day - Speedhunters Showdown
I played the game on normal difficulty and found the daytime races too easy. They may be better on a harder difficulty, though I felt they should have been harder on normal as well.

Night - Underground Racing
Things look better here because the cops get involved in the races and make playing a little more fun, so we can say that I, like most players, prefer racing at night.

Тhe handling is still being controlled by the Drift handling script, which provides more of an arcade feeling than a real racing one. I don't have a problem with it, though players who prefer a more realistic experience will be a little disappointed.

Now the cops ... Well, in races they are fine but in town pursuits, as I mentioned in the cons, they become too aggressive in too short time. The first few Heat levels are slow and weak, and it's hard to even climb a higher Heat level because it feels like they want you to escape from them asap, but when you get to the high levels, they suddenly become very good at hitting, blocking, and speeding. Aside from the fact that the change in their difficulty is somehow unrealistically fast, I'm happy with the police at a high level, because sometimes you can really sweat in some chases.

Also, if you go through enough of the quests, you will be able to unlock your favorite cars from previous games in the Need for Speed series such as Most Wanted BMW M3 GTR or Rachel's 350z from NFS Underground 2

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2133948139

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2133945075

🔥 Difficulty

As I already mentioned, I finished the game on normal difficulty and I didn't have any difficulties at all, but imagine, there is even an easy difficulty, where you are probably given 10 seconds ahead, because I can't imagine how it could be easier. There is also a hard difficulty that I can't comment on because I haven't tested it, but it will certainly be harder than the one I played.

💻 Graphics / Art-style

The game's graphics are just wonderful and I have no complaints about them.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2125277547

🎼 Soundtrack

I am very pleased with the songs they have added to the game. Some of them are my favorite songs that I listened to before I bought the game and I was pleasantly surprised that they were added in the game. I saw complaints for the music that it was very repetitive and boring. Well, I have about 30 hours of gameplay and I haven't had such problems with the music.

🚗 Vehicles

I'll start with the fact that there are 127 cars in the game and there will be no more added, as EA announced its last update to the game, but I'll get to that part later. Ferrari returns to the game after being absent from Payback due to licensing issues. Although the number of cars is not as large as in Forza Horizon 4, I think there is a pretty good collection, which unfortunately will not become larger than it is now.

🎯 Performance and Visual customization

Performance customization plays a very important role in the game. Here you have to read what parts you choose, not just to take the most expensive or the most powerful. You have to make different builds for drift races as well as for off-road and street races.

Visually, the game does not limit you in any way and you are free to make amazing designs. If you're not the type of person who doesn't like to do such things, don't worry. There is something for you too. It's called Pre-set Wraps. Pre-Set Wraps are a selection of bespoke liveries for cars featured in Need for Speed (2015). You can see the pre-set wraps in the wrap editor alongside the option for you to create your own livery.

You can create your own unique character or you can choose one of the already made. Most games already have this option, but I had to add it.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Target audience

The game focuses on people who are fans of racing games, car tuning and of course fans of the Need for Speed series.

📊 Performance

I have no complaints about the performance of the game. I dare to say that it is well optimized and as long as you have at least GeForce GTX 1060 and I7, you should not have any problems with it. And can run with even lower setup but you won't be able to expirience the full beauty of the game.

Game tested on:
CPU
GPU
RAM
i7-9700K-BOX 3.6GHz
Asus Rog Strix RTX 2080 Ti
2x8GB

📋 Conclusion

In conclusion, I think the game is worth it as long as you don't take it because of the multiplayer, which despite the cross-platform feature, which EA added as the last update to the game, still fades more and more. In Fact, when I finished the single player, i barely found 1-2 people for one race for about 2 hours. Also, the game is not worth the full price, despite this being the Deluxe Edition. Be sure to wait for a discount.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a 2D fighting game developed by Arc System Works and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

✔️ Pros
❌ Cons
● Beginners Friendly
● Competitive + Esport Scene
● Bonus Story Related to the Anime
● Japanese Voice - Acting
● Good Soundtrack
● Repetive Fights
● Lack of New Players

📓 Story

The game takes place sometime between "Universe 6" and "Future Trunks" arcs of Dragon Ball Super. The game's main antagonist, Android 21 (or later, her evil-half), was a normal human who eventually became an Android created by the Red Ribbon Army after her son became the model for Android 16. Once she awakens, she repairs 16 and uses the Dragon Balls to resurrect Frieza, Cell, Nappa, and the Ginyu Force, and seals away the powers and souls of all of Earth's strongest warriors. Wanting to control the hungry monster within her, she and 16 develop a linking system originally created by Dr. Gero in which a human soul (the player) can possess the warriors and provide them strength.

●There are 3 Arc's in Dragon Ball FighterZ

● Super Warrior Arc

This is the first Arc of the game, and in it we play the role of the “player's soul.” After “possessing” Goku, we wake up to Bulma, according to whom Goku has amnesia. After a short further explanation of what is happening, you go in search of your comrades to create a strong team with which to defeat the main villain in this Arc - Android 21.

● Enemy Warrior Arc

In the second Arc you are given the opportunity to "possess" the body of an main villain from the anime. You play with it, form a team of villains, and then even make a joint team between villains and heroes to beat Android 21.

● Android 21 Arc

This is the last arc, where everything will end once and for all. In it you have the opportunity to play on behalf of Android 18 and also on behalf of the main villain of the previous 2 arc's - Android 21. In it you finally understand many important things about the story and you are given the chance to see her good side. For me personally, she became one of my favorite characters in the game.

🕹️ Gameplay

● Mechanics

You choose 3 characters to fight with. An interesting mechanic in the game is that you can change the other 2 characters at any time, which opens up great opportunities for different combos. You can also call them for "assist" while fighting, and this also opens up other possibilities for combos. With all these combo capabilities, the opportunity for world stages and many competitions is actually alive. There is another special mechanic. It's called "Come on, Shenron!". To use it, you need to collect the 7 dragon balls, which you can collect through different combinations of strikes. Once activated, this option allows you to choose between several of your "wishes": increasing your fighter's strength, reviving a fallen ally, recovering a fighter's health or regenerating health for the rest of the match. Something i don't like is the mechanic for blocking. You can move backwards to block a punch and you have having 3 different types of blocking. The first is to block frontal attacks, the second is to block attacks focused on the bottom of your character, and the third type of blockade is for top attacks. They all come with key combinations involving backwards moving.

● Ai's

Let me explain to you how things are with AIs. When you launch the game and activate the story mode, you can start only with "normal" difficulty, which I find a bit boring. In the first arc, the AIs rarely make any punches, in the second they hit from time to time and in the third you can now feel the real feeling of the battle in the game, but not to the point where you need to execute flawless combos in order to defeat them.

● Esport and ranked scene

Above in pros and cons I noted that the game has a developed Esport scene, but there is also a lack of players. Let me explain these words of mine. The game already has a world championship, which is being held for 3 years in a row. There are other tournaments that I am not familiar with. You are probably wondering how there are world championships, but there are no players? I was also wondering that. From my personal observations I noticed that there are 20 people in the servers and they are all already developed players in this game. When you let matchmaking look for people of your caliber, you upload for an indescribably long time, and if you accidentally find someone for one game, then it happens that you play against both the next and the next round against him because are no other newbies. From these personal observations, I came to the conclusion that there is simply a lack of players and all that is left in the game are people who have already developed some higher skill level.


📊 Difficulty

The game can be as difficult as you want. The game has many difficulty settings for the story and arcade modes, on top of fighting ranked online if you're looking for a bigger challenge.

🎼 Soundtrack

The music in Dragon Ball FighterZ was composed by:

● Toshiyuki Kishi
● Hiromi Mizutani
● Kenji Katoh Reno

The music is themed for fighting games. It fits well into the atmosphere and definitely moves the game. Each character in the game has a themed song and each arena has its own song. Separately, we have intro, main, lobby and loading songs, and to top it all off, Bandai offers you 2 anime song DLC's that you can buy, but not at the small price of $ 14.99 USD. (Note, gameplay recording will be blocked when these songs are playing due to copyright issues.)

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Target audience

The game focuses on people who like anime and mainly on Dragon Ball fans. It is also focused on people who love 2D fighting games with Esport scene.

💯 Performance

The game is not very strenuous and can easily be played on machines that are not as strong. I think you can easily play it on maximum graphics with GEFORCE GTX 1060, not to mention weaker than that. I have not encountered any problems with FPS and I have not had any drops. I dare to say that the game is well optimized.

Tested with the following setup:
CPU
GPU
RAM
I7-9700K @ 3.6Ghz
ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2080 Ti
2x8GB

💻 Graphics / Art-style

Well, the game's graphics don't need RTX 2080 to see their full potential. As an anime-based game that has to stick to a certain visual, this game makes it great. The visuals definitely gives you that fighting game vibe and is aesthetically pleasing. There are great effects as well, which I was able to fully enjoy.

📋 Conclusion

I will definitely recommend you this game because it is actually worth it but since it's a game from 2018, just wait for a sale. She is getting a lot of big sales.

Pre-story - I was very skeptical of this game for several reasons. I have heard from many people how many bugs there are, I remember the moment they wanted to leave her for Atlas, but things didn't worked out there and went back to Ark, and I also remember that there were a lot of negative reviews before. But let's leave that aside. A friend of mine gifted me this game (a shoutout to him) and rented a server to play on. And here the pre-story ends.

Game - Now let's move on to the game. You can create your own character with I would say good options that give you the ability to make it extraordinary. After creating a character (which can take a long time) the game puts you in an island naked and barefooted. Your mission is simply to survive. However you're surrounded by all types of dinosaurs. Some are passive and vegetarian and others are ready to tear you to pieces. With time spent in the game you start to remember which dinosaur is going to aggro you and which not, but in the beginning you can get a few mini heart attacks every day in the game. At first, you fight bloody fists against trees that did nothing to you, to create your first pickaxe. Then the ax, spear and etc. The moment you tame your first dino will make you feel in heaven. The game then represents this leap from the dinosaur era to modern technology that is even more advanced. Starting with what I've already told you, you'll have the ability to create weapons, cartridges, cannons, generators, electricity, and more.
Ok, I said how your game will go and now let's talk about the gameplay itself.

Gameplay - The game has many bugs. From falling underground or into holes that have no escape points to extinct dinosaurs. But playing the game with friends will make it less a problem, and it can even be fun. You can spend a large amount of hours trying to get your homie out of a hole or smh.
The PvP is something I can't tell you anything about because I've never been there. I played only with friends.

Mods - Mods are the best part about this game. The game itself in the raw version is very difficult to understand and just a lot of people can find it repulsive unless you enter it with some sort of competetive attitude for PvP servers, which I think is not normal for this type of game. I see it as a place where you can have fun with friends without wanting to cut their heads off because they did something wrong in another ranked game. Let's get back to the topic of mods. They make the game a lot easier depending on what mods you use. You can use mods that just slightly cover some things Studio Wildcard didn't put, but you can also use mods that send you in the end game from the beginning which I consider as turbo dumb and a waste of money for the game but everyone is free to have their own way of fun.

Solo expirience and Squad expirience - Personally, I wouldn't recommend playing this game yourself. If you play alone on a PvP server your development there will be a very difficult experience. On the other hand, if you build your own personal server and play it yourself, it will be very boring because you really have nothing to do alone. Playing with friends on the other hand can be a lot of fun, which is why I recommend it. In PvP servers, at least you know that you are not alone and your chances of development increase a lot and if you have your own server the fun is dual because there you can use the mods you want and generally do whatever you want.

Maps - Currently, there are 7 official ARKs, 3 of which are canon and 4 of which are non-canon, as well as 2 additional maps. I have personally played only one at the moment and it is the first one - The island, so I will only comment on it. The map is very nice. There are places that are mostly inhabited by passive dinosaurs and you can easily grow there and there are also areas with many dangerous dinosaurs if you want to make your experiences much more difficult. The map is populated with many kinds of dinosaurs, there are some beautiful views that are also suitable for photos and the map is beginners friendly.

Overall review - As a whole rated game I give 8/10 because it's not so much fun for standalone players and because Studio Wildcard has not yet handled the bugs that as far as I can read from other players, have been around since the game was released.

-Borderlands 2 is action role-playing first person shooter game.

-The main story is catchy. There are funny, serious and sad moments which you can go through if you buy and play the game. There are a bunch of characters you can choose between, each one of them with unique story and spells. (Take Maya if you're just entering in the game)

-The main villain in the game is one of the best villains nowadays. His name is Handsome Jack. Jack is the President of the Hyperion Corporation, which takes control of the planet Pandora. In his mind, he is the hero of the story, the heroic savior of everyone and that the world revolves around him.

-There are different modes of difficulty. One of them is True Vault Hunter Mode, which can be unlocked only if you completed the game on normal mode and the other one is Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode or UVHM to which you earn access by completing True Vault Hunter.

-There is a very large selection of weapons with different elements, levels and rarity.

-The game is co-op and can be played with friends, but here comes something that I find for problematic and it is the looting system. If you play with friends and get to the point where you beat a boss and get a legendary weapon drop, you have to decide which one of you to take it because you can not both have it. Of course, as far as I know, it's fixed in Borderlands 3, but here it is like that.

-In short, the game is great and it's worth every penny, but I still recommend waiting for a sale and taking the Handsome collection, because you get a lot of DLCs for a very low price.

Pinball FX3 is the next generation of Zen Studios’ pinball marketplace. Taking full advantage of the next generation of consoles and new advancements in PC technology, FX3 brings a graphical upgrade to the vast majority of your tables from Pinball FX2. Even better, purchases roll forward, so no one has to rebuy content they already own on the same platform. Outside of a few licensing hangups that see the South Park and Plants vs. Zombies DLC left behind, everything from Ghost Rider to Portal to CastleStorm has made the jump with a fresh coat of paint. The new high-resolution textures and dynamic lighting won’t blow you away, but they are a marked improvement that makes each table feel better than before.

i give it 8/10 for a Pinball game because you have to spend money for most of the tables.

Grid 2’s handling has a foot on each side of the fence; grippy, with a good sense of weight – particularly under heavy braking – but honed to emphasise drifting. It’s a one-size-fits-all model, with no driving aids, but it still clings to one or two of its sim-like characteristics. While the handling errs towards the arcade end of the spectrum, the tight courses and mechanical damage still conspire to keep players thinking two corners ahead at all times. Flashback returns to help you undo a nasty write-off or a blown tyre, but it’s a limited-use device.

I give it 7/10 but keep in mind it's a 2013 game.
