It's been a while since I've posted a negative review.

But this game might've been good in 2016, but it aged so insanely poorly, graphics look like they're straight out of 2007, sometimes it's like it has graphics you'd see in GTA San Andreas, the menu is seriously horrible, I don't know who greenlit this. The transition from the soft music during startup to a super loud All Along The Watchtower from Jimi, giving you a heart attack every time.

The game can't handle high end systems, insane screen tearing, setting up your resolution takes minutes, it doesn't want to see my PS5 controller. Crashes twice during gameplay.

And today I boot it up, I see the cinematic of Frank meeting up with Camano? For the first time with Vito, exactly where I ended, the cinematic ends, and I'm back in the first mission of the Federal Reserve robbery, what... the ♥♥♥♥?

Honestly, when this game first came out at the beginning of 2024, the general consensus on social media was pretty much mixed to negative. But that’s a classic thing letting other people’s opinions influence your decision on it.

I got the game on sale for 7 euros, and even in 2024 the game didn’t seem that bad to me, but I think the price tag made me doubt it. Although now that I’ve played it, even the original price would be worth it, maybe more around 40 though.

The game is fun, it’s satisfying, and it’s pretty nice slicing through the zombies and watching their bodies react to your swings, etc. The physics in general are just fun. It plays well, and it honestly looks amazing!

The boss battles aren’t too easy to the point where they feel pointless, for some of them you genuinely have to sit for a second. And if you do lose, it’s a bit forgiving, but not too much.

The vibes and the colors are pretty good. I just wish you’d be rewarded a bit more for being an exploring little scout. You’ve got the looting mechanics in the game, of course, but there should’ve been a bit more variety in that.

I’d give it an 8/10. It’s fun, it’s immersive, the story is interesting, the DLCs are good and scary, and there’s a safe amount of jumpscares enough to keep it exciting without becoming annoying. And when you do get a scare, it’s immediately slicing time.

It's a fun game, definitely addicting in the sense that you'll put 10+ hours into your first playthrough. Basebuilding is lovely, especially once you get the hang of it. The possibilities feel endless, even if it doesn’t seem that way at first, until you start figuring out the little things.

It’s a bit rough around the edges, particularly when it comes to combat at times, but overall it’s fine. The magical twist on resource gathering is definitely a refreshing touch and feels great once you’ve unlocked everything.

Is it worth the €30 right now? Not quite, more like €22.50. But if you go by the 1 dollar per hour rule, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth.

Recommended, and excited for what’s to come.

Schedule 1 is a cool little game that really surprised me. It’s got a chill vibe but keeps you wanting to keep progressing. If you like games where you slowly figure things out and get better over time, this one’s for you.

I do recommend the game, coming from someone who played AC2, Brotherhood, AC3, Revelations, Odyssey, and Mirage.

This is a good game on its own and as an AC game. Yes, there are some real world issues surrounding it, but man... Playing as Naoe is so satisfying and enjoyable. The way she moves, the parkour, infiltrating a camp, it has never felt this much like an Assassin's Creed game before. The way you're sneaking around, freestyling, proning through grass, stealth killing you genuinely feel like a ninja.

I've finished Ghost of Tsushima as well, and both games are incredible in their own right. If you combined some features from both, you'd have a truly god tier game.

This is the direction Ubisoft should take with their future games. It feels like such a well developed, fantastic game. I genuinely liked Mirage, and I finished it too, but Shadows feels like it's miles ahead of Mirage.

Nothing but praise.

This is one of those games that you boot up for the first time, only to find yourself wandering aimlessly around the planet, where even simple tasks feel like a chore. You have to find and craft parts to get your ship up and running while following the prologue.

But then, it sneaks up on you. As you're out there gathering supplies, fixing things up, and unlocking new modifications for your suit and mining laser, you start to feel yourself getting faster resource gathering becomes more efficient.

And before you know it, you're completely immersed in the beauty of what this game has become over the years. Stunning atmospheres, satisfying systems that keep you exploring for hours.

Super fun missions and a nice community of players people helping out when you need resources, sharing their bases filled with valuable materials. Piece by piece, you get drawn into this world, one that makes you want to keep exploring, to keep going.

Wow, just wow!

I played the first game back in 2018, and I remember being completely shocked by how intricate and realistic the woods were. My brain had trouble distinguishing it from reality. Just walking through the forest was one of the things that kept me hooked on the first game.

Only later did I discover that it had such an amazing story that left me craving more. It was truly a one of a kind game.

But Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a masterpiece in its own right! I don’t think I’ve ever walked through a forest in a game and been so amazed by my surroundings just wandering around and taking in how beautiful everything is.

The early reviewers are right, this game is so much better and improved compared to the already amazing first installment of KCD.

The story, right from the beginning, is immediately engaging, filled with action and comedy. The ambiance is incredible, and the music is just as impressive. I can’t recommend this game enough to anyone, especially if you’ve been on the fence about it.

Yes, this game is worth it! And yes, so far, it’s significantly better than the first one.

Absolutely amazing work!!

This is one of those games that’s quite scary at first, especially if, like me, you haven’t played the first one. However, it’s so compelling that it keeps you engaged. At first, I hated being scared 24/7, but I was also deeply interested in continuously exploring, upgrading vehicles and armor. The pacing for unlocking new modules and items feels fair and not overly grindy. Definitely a recommendation one of the nicest and most interesting games I’ve played in 2024

Can't have nothing but love for the developers of this game, they deserve every form of succes possible for their dedication and hard work.

If you love samurai and beautiful open worlds, you need to play Ghost of Tsushima. The combat is smooth and satisfying, the story is gripping, and the visuals are out of this world. Every corner of the island is a work of art. The soundtrack? Pure magic. Easily one of the best games I've ever played.

Pros:

Gorgeous graphics
Engaging combat
Great story
Immersive world

Cons:

Fast travel load times could be faster

Rating: 10/10, highly recommend!
