I love it!

I like it!

The game has a few interesting scenarios to play through. These are great and all but what I really love doing is just playing around with the fantastic physics. Driving mechanics are not really on par with full-blown racing simulators like Assetto Corsa or rFactor, but it has a lot of great qualities like weight transfer that a lot of more arcade-like games lack. I also really enjoy that you can customize the cars from the ground up and tinker with intricate properties like camber, wastegate pressure and such. The game also has extensive modding support which ensures that you won't get bored any time soon.

Overall really great!

This game is great if you are a PC enthusiast or are trying to become one. This game is definetely a great start if you want to build your own PC. Even though it is a great start, I feel like it misses a lot of the intricacies that a first-time PC builder might get stuck on. This includes the pesky front panel connectors that often are a real pain in real life. I also feel like the BIOS is really simple. All of this aside the game is very enjoyable. The career mode does get somewhat boring and repetitive after a while so I mostly stick to doing crazy builds in free build with the amazing watercooling options that this game provides. Overall a great game!

I love this game. The levels have a creepy atmosphere that fits perfectly with the theme of the game. This also goes for the amazing sound effects and music that this game offers (the main menu theme is epic). The multiplayer mode is very good. The campaign is also fenomenal, I really enjoyed it in co-op mode. Considering the fact that this is an older game it does actually have pretty good graphics. The FOV can be adjusted through the console which helps a ton. Overall strongly recommended.

Awesome!

This game features a short but great story. This combined with the fantastic grapple-hook style mechanics results in a great experience. Graphics are decent, voice acting is pretty good. There is not really much to complain about besides the short playtime of around three hours. I feel like that is justified by the low price and the fact that the game is otherwise very well made. When you are done with the story you can do the different sections of the game in time-trials which is heaps of fun.

Pretty decent actually. As far as multiplayer goes some weapons are clearly better than others, leaving some weapons that are fun completely out of the game as they are radically underpowered compared to the competition. There are also some odd DLC weapons that you can have some mixed opinions about. The story mode is alright. The storyline itself is pretty generic and sort of confusing at times. I would recommend that you play it in co-op mode with a good friend to make it more enjoyable. I can't speak much on zombies because of my limited experience with it, but from what I have gathered from my limited experience and other influences it seems good. Other than that the graphics are pretty good for a 2015 title and the sound and level design is fantastic for the most. I would recommend this if you can pick it up on a sale.

Edited review after 1k hours:

For a game that came out in 2013 (2015 for pc) the graphics hold up extremely well. The only time you can really see some aging is when you are looking at terrain textures which can look a bit off at times. I have played tons of GTA Online. Most of my time has been spent just helplessly grinding for money in an extremely messed up in-game economy. Let's say you want a yacht, that will be GTA$6,000,000 for the cheapest one. That will be roughly 18 hours of doing the The Pacific Standard Job over and over again (please don't quote me on the numbers). There are most likely more efficient ways of making money. That would probably mean you ending up doing some sort of CEO work. This leads us to the worst part of the game, the PvP. Yikes, imagine spending hours piling up cargo in your warehouse just to have it blown up by an individual on a broomstick with homing missiles when trying to sell it. You can get an empty public lobby, but you have to play around with the resource manager for that. This is obviously something that you shouldn't have to do to have a playable experience. Even though this game is riddled with these flaws, it is still insanely enjoyable. The world has an incredible amount of detail that really helps with bringing it to life. The world is all yours to explore and fool around in with your friends, which is obviously awesome. I honestly think that when the clunky character physics, toxic community and less than optimal servers don't decide to act against me I really enjoy this game. The story mode is actually really good, especially with the extensive modding support from the community. I think that everyone should try this game, it is seriously good.

Literally the best racing sim ever. Impeccable graphics, physics and whatever else you like. Awesome modding community with projects like the Shutoko Revival Project and many others alike. Strongly recommended.
