Stardew Valley is the perfect reincarnation of Harvest Moon with so much more content. New stuff are constantly being added in and all of them are free of charge. If you are a fan of the Harvest Moon series or farming games in general, this is definitely the game for you.

The Witcher 3 has the best story amongst all other games I've played, it is completely mesmerizing. That yearning to find out what would happen next was always there. You will never feel complete once you have beaten the game to its entirety. But after that, you will feel emptiness, as if your purpose in life is gone :C. But seriously, this is once in a lifetime opportunity to experience such a masterpiece. I had never tought I will fall completely in love with this game as I'm not an avid RPG player. But in the end, I was hopelessly addicted to this game to no end.

Yet the story aspect of this game is only the beginning, the graphics was something else to behold. With the graphics completely maxed and an ultrawide display, you will feel as if you yourself have delved into the game's universe. Everything seems so real and alive, Geralt's hair fluttering in the wind, the trees and grass moving back and forth, storms and thunders, its simply amazing.

If you are deciding whether to get the Expansion Pack, DO GET IT, PLEASE. Unlike many so called DLCs and Additional Content, Witcher 3 actually goes far and beyond to deliver. It feels like a completely new game, as if you have been transported into a different land. The quests and contracts all follows the same structure as the base game, but none of them feels repetitive at all (What is this sorcery). All in all, its saddening that this is the final game for the witcher trilogy. But it was an amazing send off to an amazing series, even though I only played the third game.

TLDR: GET THE GAME AND THE EXPANSION PACK, ITS LEVEL OF AMAZINGNESS IS BEYOND WORDS.

This game deserves a 9.5/10 in my opinion

TLDR; This game took me by surprise, it was so addictive that I spent 2 days straight completing the campaign. This game is a combination of many other games such as angry birds, army of darkness, Age of War and tower defense games. I would highly recommend this game if you have a couple of days to spare and have nothing to do.

Gameplay

• The campaign was satisfyingly long and does not feel draggy at all since most of the mission has a different and unique objective. Coupled with the DLCs, this game will give you a solid entertainment for a couple of days.
  
• The storyline was very interesting and the characters are all very lovable. The substantial amount of humour in the dialogue was very entertaining.
  
• Besides shooting catapults trying to destroy the enemy's castle, you can spawn heroes which you can control on the battlefield. You can also spawn a variety of soldiers to aid you in the battle.
  
• Multiplayer support so you can play with your friends after you have beaten the campaign. However, there are not many online players at the moment. So you have to get a friend to play it with you.

Music

• When I was playing this game, I heard a very familiar music on the background. As I went to research, in turns out that the music was composed by the same artist that created the music for the flash game Age of War. The music was indeed a remastered version of the Age of War theme music. I used to play that game alot during high school and I delighted to hear that music again in this game.
  
• The other music was very fitting to the game and its quirky characters. Although it does get repetitive sometimes, but it is not really a problem.

Pros:

- A very cheap game, cost me about 10 cents during sales.

- Free soundtrack on an already cheap game. (Although I didn't really like the music)

Cons:

- Terrible storyline that does not make sense. The story feels like it was written by a pre-schooler.

- Horrible Sound effect; They literary had to point out that it was the sound of a woman screaming while it sounds nothing like that.

- Over 9000 jumpscares that does not even have a relation to the game.

- Buggy and generally bad animations; for example, the gun floats around when you reload, and don't get me started on the cutscenes.

- An abundance of dead bodies and horses which look nothing like its real life counterparts.

- Weird and unpolished AI; you would just walk past an enemy and they won't do anything to you, Yet sometimes they just run towards you at the speed of light and instakills you.

- No checkpoint system, in each chapters; While each chapter are very short, the amount of enemies you have to kill with your single fire rifle which takes forever to reload will cause you to die, ALOT.

- Soundtrack does not match with the game; Apparently the developers thought that wild west guitar music goes well with horror games.

Conclusion; Buy this game if you want to increase your steam games count. Do not buy if you are looking to play it at all.

EDIT: Valve has removed paid mods, kudos to them. Giving this game a thumbs up now, and the review below no longer applies. Just keeping it for the archives.

It is very sad to see a good game being ruined by the greed of corporations. Valve and Bethesda are now charging money for mods with the mod creator getting only 25% of the cut. This goes against the very nature of mods and can cause alot of issues. Many of the modders may stop supporting the paid mods, and players will be left with a paid digital paperweight. There is also the issue of people stealing mods from other sources and claiming that its theirs in order to earn easy money. We all know that money sours relationships, and it only took Valve a couple of days to destroy Skyrim's modding community. Many of the mods were removed, and many modders have packed their bags and left the Skyrim modding community. The tightly knit modding community has been reduced by people with the lust for money and it may never recover.

Imagine if mods are paid back when Valve was still a small fry. Dota 2, CS:GO, and Team Fortress 2 would have never taken off to what it is today. Valve would simply be another small fry that could be crushed easily by big companies. The modding community gave life to Valve, and they can also take life away from Valve. With that, I have lost all respect for Valve and GabeN. Even EA couldn't come up with this idea of paid mods first *clap* *clap*.

TLDR; Weapons and masks included in this DLC are awesome. It adds alot of replayability to the game in my opinion. Be warned though, you can never forget the horrific screams of cops and civilians burning to their death.

I have decided not to cover the new shotgun and shotgun rounds as they are comparable to current shotguns. Although, the benefit of the new fire breath's shotgun round is that they go through shields and catches whoever u shoot on fire.

Flamethrower

Pros

• It has a range of about 10 meters which is acceptable in most heists. However it is a pain for heists with a large open map such as; The Bomb: Forest.
  
• Includes 2 modifications which either increases the weapon's damage or its ammo capacity.
  
• Satisfying to use, especially in close range where you can burn enemies easily.
  
• Burns through shields

Cons

• Very little visual cue to tell you that the enemy is dead. The only way to tell is whether they have dropped an ammo pickup. This might cause you to use more flamethrower fuel needed. It is harder to estimate the amount of fuel needed to kill specials (taser and cloakers) as they have more health and don't really react to the fire.
  
• No ammo pickup, which means you have to conserve its ammo. This, coupled with the fact that you do not know when the enemy is dead will end up costing you more flamethrower fuel
  
• Very low damage of about 15. Although it can kill enemies very fast if you hold on to the trigger. This in turn also wastes ammo.

Piglet Grenade Launcher

Pros

• Has a higher magazine capacity of 6 than the GL40.
  
• Can be modded to shoot fire grenade, which creates a pool of fire on the ground. This mod although cool, reduces the damage of the grenalde launcher to 34. The mod also works with the GL40.
  
• Has ammo pickup, shoot away!

Cons

• Very slow to reload its 6 chambers to full capacity. In my opinion the GL40 still has a higher rate of fire as it is faster to reload.
  
• Unlike the GL40, it cannot be modded as a stealth weapon as it has low concealment.

Molotov

Pros

• Creates a radius of fire on the ground for an acceptable period of time.
  
• Renders the area unnaccesable for a short time, and continues to damage enemies that walks into it.

Cons

• The enemy AI are not programmed well enough to avoid the pool of fire, and as a result many of them would just walk in an get burned to death.
  
• If you walk into the fire, you will get damaged. But it doesn't damage your fellow heisters. Payday logic at its finest. (This has been fixed in the latest update! Thanks payday, now I can include the heisters in my BBQ feast!)
  
• The damage animation of the enemy AI was not properly done. As a result, it looks as if they are being shot and blood can be seen coming out from the location they are supposedly being "shot".

P.S. The chef hat suits Bonnie the best, she could have became a chef instead!

This game is comparable to Simcity 4 but with better graphics and gameplay. A whole lot better when compared to the latest simcity which is plagued with many problems such as map size and DRM.

Pros:

- Realistic water simulation; if you build your water intake down the river and the waste output up the river, you're gonna feed your citizens with poop water. And dams will alter the flow of the river

- Noise pollution is taken into consideration (Can be caused by traffic, windmills, industries etc.).

- District zoning (allows you to micro-manage your city easily). Policies can be introduced only to the specific districts. For example, in district 1 it is legal to use recreational drugs while in district 2 it is illegal.

- Easily accesable info view where you can see the stats of your city, such as education, crimes, and so on.

- Natural resource exploitation for more income.

- Detailed public transportation systems which allows you to plan the routes.

- Very easy to learn especially if you have played city building games such as Simcity before.

- You are able to see the complaints of your citizens in a notification box above the screen which functions like twitter. This allows you to pinpoint and correct problems quickly.

- Very big map sizes allows you to build metropolitan cities.

- Limited service buildings are available at first but becomes available as your city grows (makes it easy for new players to learn)

Cons:

- Road mapping can get wonky sometimes and you end up building roads that are slanted. This kinda irritate the OCD side of me.

- The unavailability of service buildings early in the game means that it is harder to plan your city early on. And you might have to sacrifice a couple of houses to accomodate the buildings.


I will continue to update my review as I put more hours into this game. Feel free to comment on your opinions.

An awesome DLC that can ramp up your CAR-4 and AMR-16 Rifle damage up to 89. The damage goes higher with AK rifles (more than 90). With this kind of damage its possible to one shot most cops (2-3 shots for green and brown FBI). It also takes down a dozer almost instantly. The mods are also compatible with many other primaries and secondaries which i find surprising since the DLC is focused mainly on AK and CAR Rifles.

To add on, most negative reviews I have seen are mainly complaining about the mods and masks being locked behind an achievement. I personally do not support this as not many people will be able to complete the achievements to unlock the items that they have paid for. However, I find the achievements relatively easy to unlock and I managed to unlock all of it in less than one day. As long as you've got a decent team, you will be able to get the cheevos easily. If you get not so decent team though, it may take more time.

TLDR; Get this DLC if you are a commited player. Stay away if you are a newbie or if you hate being overpowered in the game.

One last note; since the achievements are not locked to the DLC, you can always unlock it all before buying this DLC to avoid dissapointments.

Get this game on sale, the $5.5 price tag isn't worth it for a 1 hour interactive short. This game is most likely a prequel to a longer game that they are working on, so don't get dissapointed as this is just a teaser of some sort.

Stab an orc in the face, and he comes back to kill you. Burn his face off, and he still comes back. Throw him off a cliff, and of course he is back again to haunt you. Best zombie simulator ever!!
