Recent reviews by The Ritalin Commando

I bought this Oblivion shortly after release and played it for about 80 hours and I really loved this game. Since then I've also bought (and enjoyed) Skyrim and ESO and played those intensively as well. I just happened to see a streamer playing it and decided to start a new character and see how it holds up after over 15 years and for a game this old, it really, really holds up well. Yeah, the graphics aren't as good as current games but they hold up surprisingly well too! I love this game and recommend it for anyone who likes RPG's. It does have its annoyances like the UI but those are a small thing.

I've played it about 27 hours in the last 2 weeks and I've barely scratched the surface. I haven't even been to all the main cities yet and I'm in no hurry to complete it. It's a great game that stands up very well.

This game is just awful. I tried to like it. I've installed and uninstalled it repeatedly over the last 10 years. I really, really want to like it, but the interface is just terrible. I just installed it again and spent a few more hours on it and couldn't get past the awful controls. I guess it's free now (it wasn't for me) so that at least gives you a chance to try it for yourself, but it's not even fun enough to leave installed and play from time to time. It's just bad. I wish it were better because I love star trek and I love MMO's. But this one is just terribad.

If you enjoy south park, and games, just get this. You won't be sorry. It's got so many show references, it'll keep a smile on your face all the while you play it. Just make sure to get it on sale though. It's running for $30 and that's just way too much for an 8 year old game, even if it does have a 97% positive review rate. I got mine on sale and you should too. Just plop it on your wishlist and get it when it's around $10. If you're not a big fan of south park, you will likely hate the game and/or not understand most of the show references.

The best in the series, including Just Cause 4. Once you have this game with the DLC, you won't need anything else in the current JC franchise

Just one more game. Just one more. I'll level. Just one more.

Yeah, this is a great game. It's a brilliant refresh of DOTA games with first person changing everything . I love the diversity of the gods to play and after that you still have so many ways to optimize your god with items, relics, and potions. for me, this game is an 8/10 which is solid.

Where Just Cause 3 was a silly and entertaining work of art, Just Cause 4 is just painful. I don't mean that it's hard because OMG it's not. It's painful because it's like 50 chimps got together with an xbox and some duct tape and said, "hey, let's make a franchise game!" or more accurately, "SCREEEE". I've had this game for some time and I've been kind of avoiding it and yeah, I actually bought it. I just read about it AFTER I bought it and had JC2 and JC3 already. The best recommendation I can give (and I'm being serious) is to just buy and play Just Cause 3 with the DLC. The graphics are actually better (ikr?) and it's still endless fun. If you don't believe me, read r/justcause on reddit and you'll find my opinion is the norm. Seriously. Buy Just Cause 3 and the DLC and have a hell of a time. Even if you've finished JC3, don't buy this game. Seriously. Even if it's only a dollar, you'll be right back here saying, "that ritalin commando was right and now I'm out a buck"

It's a silly, nonsensical game but it pushes all the right buttons to get the "just a little bit more" effect that you have usually in turn-based game. It even gives you "leaves" (the currency) for idling. Ultimately, one could say it's a stupid game, but regardless, I love it, especially that it's free.

It's no Skyrim (understandably, it's a single person game) but ESO has the perfect balance of being able to solo or group, even PvP. It's unique in many respects which makes it stand out. I'd highly recommend this game, but only if you're willing to subscribe. Sure, you can buy the DLC, but that will end up being more expensive anyway. The versatility and replayability is amazing.

Maybe it's because I come from the era of UO, EQ, AC, even Rift, but I think the ESO Plus is great and a good value. Back "in the day" we'd pay from $10 - 15 to even play an MMO. And there are others like ArchAge who are not only confusing (which version do I spend a week downloading?) but require a sub to do even basic crafting or even a simple room to own. The only things I wish I'd have done was join Plus sooner. There are 2 things that make it great. The first is that you get access to all of the DLC except for Greymoor. All of it. That's one expansion. We used to pay $20-30 twice a year PLUS the monthly sub for each expansion. Second, the craft bag. Unlimited materials accessible anywhere you are without having to bank first (to use at a crafting station). Unlimited. There's a 3rd benefit though and that's the free crowns you get. They're not far from the actual cost of the Plus sub so it allows you to get a few handy items as well. I'll take this over 10-15 to pay for a sub, JUST a sub, anytime.

It's casual but at the same time it can be very serious. It's one of those games that you can just hop into and play for 10 minutes if you want. But if you're more serious, you can also compete in the competitive lists. There's a whole bunch of achievements and well as challenges in-game. It's not pay to play after purchase but paying can certainly make you level faster. Most purchases though are cosmetic. The only thing you can buy that will actually help you is the xp booster and that's only 50% so it's not overpowered either.

It does have a pretty good learning curve but stick with it and you will learn and do all of these complex things without thinking.

One thing I would recommend is a good controller. Rocket League is the reason I bought a controller and I don't regret it.
