Yeah the game started out kinda buggy, yeah the dialogue is kinda corny at times and yeah the game itself pulled a lot of inspiration for many other famous titles, but I stand my ground when I say it did it tastefully. It is not a Bioshock clone, nor is it the love child of DOOM and Fallout. The game holds its own and its definitely an enjoyable play. While the story isn't something completely innovative, the amount of lore it does have keeps you on your feet and is very interesting. There isn't a terribly huge selection of alternate history games out there, so that helps Atomic Heart stand out in that regard. The game play, while somewhat difficult at first, definitely mellows out as you upgrade your character and arsenal. I do not see that as a bad thing as this game has a clear focus on the story aspect of it. If you are expecting a grind fest like Fallout and DOOM, then you will surely be disappointed. Overall the action and story is just enough to keep you wanting a bit more, especially of the final choices you have to make at around the end of the game, no spoilers. Solid 8/10 here. Hoping the four future DLC's add more story content!

Pros: Everything minus the Progression and Battle Pass
Cons: Progression and Battle Pass

Ok real review, this game is an absolute blast and will be another title I play until the next halo (unlike 4-5). Here's the most TDLR review you'll ever need, this game is the god child of Halo 3 and 5, without anything that made those games bad, while STILL feeling like it's own entry. The only flaws are the progression (there is no normal progression that every game in 2021 has) and because of this, the Battle Pass suffers since it takes forever to complete. There are also some things behind a paywall that shouldn't be, but it is a free game minus the campaign, so we can all play devils advocate there. Let's just say if 343 wants this game to have a good life, it must continue to listen to feedback, yes 343 listen throughout its ENTIRE lifespan.

Honestly this game is really fun but only with friends, alone it gets rather boring and creepy. As far as the concept of the game, its crazy original and goofy. Call it a sort of parody of sci-fi and gore games. Picking up a 4 pack is well worth the money, especially when it's on sale. 10/10 would mop alien guts again.

What can one say, it's Uno lmao. You'll love and hate your friends as much as the physical card game, 10/10 if the games aren't 3 hours long, you aren't doing it right!

This game doesn't get praised enough to be honest, sure its not the absolute best Star Wars game ever but its the great single player experience a lot of Star Wars fans were waiting for. I love love love the direction they took with this game and also lore wise. We focus in on a part of the Star Wars timeline rarely explored, and its that awkward bit of time in the transition from the Clone Wars to Empire. The Empire is still breaking down Republic and Separatist warships, the Jedi hunt is still VERY real and you follow the story of a new character which in my opinion wasn't terrible. You meet a new crew and explore an adventure in the background of the rest of the Saga. Without spoiling, it seems like they set this game up for a sequel and I'm all for it. But for now all the content updates aside from what the base game was, which was GOOD for EA standards, makes this a solid ass game. Great story telling, good graphics, compelling gameplay, quality soundtrack and sound effects. I rate 9/10.

Similar to my review over Star Wars Battlefront (2004), I stand my ground when I say this is leagues better than the EA games out now, although I think overall best Star Wars Battlefront game was the original 2004 one, since certain components or mechanics didn't make it to the 2005 sequel (which is also great don't get me wrong). I personally feel like the first game was more line with the movies as far as the sound effects, voices, maps and overall vibe was just closer to the prequels and originals then anything attempted afterwards. Given that, it's still great you can mod Battelfront I and II all you want. I used to own this game and first Battlefront on CD's which is why I don't have a lot of hours logged on Steam but as soon as I upgraded my PC, I threw away my disc reader and went digital. 10/10 still a great game today.

I stand my ground when I say this is the overall best Star Wars Battlefront game, it's very interest how certain components or mechanics didn't make it to the 2005 sequel (which is also great don't get me wrong) but I feel this game is more in line with the movies. The sound effects, voices, maps and overall vibe is just close to the prequels then anything attempted afterwards. It sucks some of the obscure maps didn't make it over to future Battlefront games cause they were cool, but at least this and Battlefront II can be modded as much as you want. I also heard the online multiplayer came back for this game so why not try it out? I used to own this game and Battlefront II on CD's which is why I don't have a lot of hours logged on Steam but as soon as I upgraded my PC, I threw away my disc reader and went digital. 10/10 get this game!

Not the greatest hack and slash ever but it can keep you entertained, and not just for the reasons you're thinking lmao. This isn't exactly a "I'm gonna kill everyone with 2 attacks" kind of thing, the games mechanics are pretty well made, so you have to balance offense and defense well or else challenge modes will not be a walk in the park. Cute characters, good soundtrack and fair graphics. Overall the gameplay is decent and maybe clunky at times, but I could see some sort of sequel to this game being very good. For now buy this on sale, regular price isn't terrible though.

Pretty fun fighting game I see this picking up with friends every now and then, not a terribly hard game to get into and overall has hot characters, nice game design and cool 2D animation. DLC fighters are also worth it so pick them up. Squigly best girl.
