I don't usually write reviews this early, but this game is truly something else.

Fluid gameplay, amazing visuals, superb soundtrack, interesting story, with the cyberpunk theme all make this game worth playing. It's challenging and requires some thought to how to approach the enemies but it's so fun! It makes me want to keep playing one more level and is hard to put down. I highly recommend this game, even at full price.

Decent game, kind of a let down from DOOM 2016.

+Great atmosphere and art style
+Excellent soundtrack composition
+More cohesive story than DOOM 2016
+Amazing level design
+Fortress of DOOM. a sort of central hub for the slayer, is a welcome addition

CONS:
-After a while the game just felt tedious to play, there were too many waves of enemies in these small arenas. To succeed you have to repeat the same combat loop over and over again. It got old real fast.
-Terrible platforming. The overall execution of the platforming was very poorly done. I felt more frustrated with the platforming than the tedious combat.
-The Marauder is one of the worst designed enemies I've ever had to face in any video game, ever.
-The multiplayer is such a huge downgrade from DOOM 2016. I sunk in many hours into the DOOM 2016 multiplayer and found it genuinely fun. This multiplayer is lacking in every single way, not a single mode was carried over and just features this terrible 2v1 called BATTLEMODE.

Despite my grievances with this game, I found myself itching to come back to it. There is something mesmerising about ripping and tearing demons as the unstoppable doom slayer.

Overall, I would rate the game 7/10. What DOOM 2016 lacked, this game did not really improve on. If you could get the game for 50% off or less, then I would say it is worth it.

Metro Exodus was an excellent experience, the world was extremely immersive and atmospheric. Great level design, beautiful visuals, and definitely the best entry into the Metro series!

Fun game that brings the shooting mechanics of DOOM and open world exploration of Mad Max together to bring this mayhem infested world. Has some minor bugs and glitches but for the most part I enjoyed my time playing this game. I really enjoyed the level design and ID Software side of things, but the driving mechanics could have been better. Overall, a decent game that should be bought on sale as there isn't enough content to justify paying full price.

8/10

Everything about this game is done right from the whole atmosphere of the world, the graphics, to the story. I really recommend checking out this game as it is truly a magnificent work of art! This is nothing like any previous AC installments, everything is completely revamped and executed perfectly. The only real gripe I have with this game is the combat, as it is really clunky and annoying to deal with, but aside from that it is definitely one of the best games that have come out in the past few years. Highly recommended!!

This is the greatest game of all time, it deserved every single award it got. No other game will ever compare to this (unless it is part of the series, not including Origins). You can overhype as many RPGs and open world games you want but NOTHING will compare to the masterpiece known as Batman: Arkham City. If you do not own this game alread you are a complete idiot, get this magnificent game right away. NOTHING BEATS THIS GAME!!!!!!!!

10/10

Great game, it is basically GTA in Hong Kong. Graphics are great, especially when it is raining. The story is well written, an undercover cop goes back to his roots in Hong Kong and gets involved in the triad war. Sounds cliche but is very interesting! Game is full of a lot to do and is definitely an underrated game, game took about 16 hours for me to complete and was worth every penny

Grand Theft Auto V is a truly magnificent work of art. The city of Los Santos has an astonishing amount of Detail and life to it, Rockstar has truly made one of the best games ever. There is so much to do in the game wether you would like to do missions or go online and play with your friends. It is clear that a lot of hard work and effort was made to deliver this masterpiece. The graphics are beautiful, especially at night when it is raining and you see the reflections on the puddles. The story is very well written and witty. The gameplay is fluid wether you are playing first or third person. For PC gamers that have had to wait 1.5 years to play this, it was worth the wait!

10/10

Dying Light is not what I expected it to be. I wasn't really excited for the game, saw no interest in it as I am not into these zombie survival type games. However, I found a good deal on the game and thought, why the hell not? When I started playing the game I was just blown away. I wasn't expecting a beautiful open world game. I was expecting a game that tried to be as scary as possible for no reason.

The story is great. It shows the epic tale of the survivors in Harran fighting to stay alive and get out of the hellhole. Once nighttime hits you realize this is the most hard and scary parts of the game. Special types of zombies appear especially at night that are ruthless killers. You can avoid the night by sleeping in your safehouses, which are located all throughout the map and you have to "liberate" to make them yours.

The graphics are very gorgeous. The world is detailed and full of interesting things to explore. However, as you progress through the quests I noticed a lot of the characters looked very similar to each other and thought that ruined the immersion.

The gameplay is great and frustrating at the same time. Running around Harran in the slums or old town you are constantly climbing and jumping from rooftop to rooftop. I think Techland did a great job with the parkour and nailed it. At times it felt like a first person Assassin's Creed or Mirror's Edge in a post apocalyptic world. However, the combat is sometimes very frustrating, it could take up to 10-20 hits to kill a enemy and is annoying and tedious trying to kill them.

A thing Techland could have added is fast travel although it may seem like cheating in a survival game like this. It gets a little tedious and annoying running from ends of the city to the mission objectives and I feel as if there was a faster way to travel around the city it would be a lot greater. Near the end of the game we are given a grappel gun which does indeed help moving around a little faster but this is something that should be looked on in the sequel.

Overall, I am happy with my purchase and I feel like the game exceeded my expectations and proves Techland can make games that don't fall into the cliche zombie survival type games.
