So here's my review for Gigantic,
I have many more hours on this game than it says on Steam, as I've played the beta and Windows Store version from way back, and it's honestly come a long way, and they're just getting started.
Gigantic takes elements of an Arena shooter, Third Person Shooters, and Strategy genres to create, well, Gigantic.
Of course the game looks a little small right now, with there only being very few maps, but this'll all change in the future.

Here are my pro's and con's I have about the game personally.

Pro's-
-Third Person (I LOVE THIRD PERSON SHOOTERS)
-Each character has a unique playstyle.
-The maps are large and detailed.
-The way the game is played is very strategical and requires teamwork, even based on a casual level.
-You can make a comeback (Gigantic is the ultimate comeback game.)
-Voice Chat (Push to Talk)
-Communication System (For you to be able to say "Good work!" or "Attack here!")
-Graphics/Art style (The cartoony art style is what attracted me to this game.)
-Music (Idk about you guys but the music when there's a rampage is actually amazing)
-Motiga works hard to push out updates every month, and are impressive (The first steam patch was the addition of a new hero (Oru, along with loads of cool skins, which is impressive to be done over a months time really.))
Free to Play!!(You have no idea how rare it is for a game as good as this to be free to playyy.)

Now moving on to the cons of the game.

Con's-
-There aren't alot of maps (Only 3 to exist currently, but this issue will go away as Motiga work on the game.)
-Not alot of creatures (Once again, with Motiga working on the game like they are now, this issue will also be gone.)
-Overall polish is lacking (Its probably just my OCD, but the way things are placed (Like Oru's Q, just assume where the base of the ground is and such, so just a little disorganisation I'd say?))
-Customization functionality is weird (I'd like the skins system to be tweaked a little, I mean it's fine but it doesnt seem satisfying to equip on the airship and all that.)
-Profiles? (Just me again, but I love having profiles in games, it really lets you express yourself and you let other people know who you are.)
-Player icons? (Similar to the thing above, but I'd also love to have profile pictures in the game rather than the random ones we get now.)

So yeah, this is my review. I highly recommend and even more for people who played MOBA's and Team games. Hope you enjoyed reading. But like I said, Motiga are just getting started with this game.

This game is very extraordinary and therefore I'm writing a review about it because why not.
Battleborn is a game that takes humour and FPS and combines them. It's not meant to be serious like the Call of Duty franchise, or completely goofy. Many of the voice lines have made me laugh over the 70 odd hours I've been playing. Not just PvP, but PvE is also included in the package, and I love it for that, it's just a shame that the popularity went the way it did.
I will now go over the many pro's and con's of the game.

Pro's:
-Humourous jokes and lines made for all characters and even some for specific maps.
-PvE is always nice to have if you do not feel confident with player vs player content yet.
-Considering the community is small it is also very friendly and even have a discord where you can find people to play with and such.
-Skin and taunt customization, like Team Fortress 2.
-Lore achievements are implemented, and even challenges for you to unlock them, along with Titles you can earn from just playing the game.
-Different classes varying from Offense, to Defense, and Support.
-Wide variety of maps and detail put into them is astonishing. Different flank routes for PvP, and very open areas for PvE. They've thought about every possible situation that could happen when playing, and took advantage of it in ways, such as the flankers.
-Different game modes like Capture Point, and a few ones that are similar to MOBA's and then ones that are just unique.
-Devs still continue to make progress on the game even when it is at its lowest point in time.

Con's:
-The game does not feel as polished as it could be, various bugs here and there. Most likely due to low funding.
-Low population, often feels like the game is dying if you play at rare times.
-Poor advertising and marketting, people can easily buy the game for cheaper on third party websites rather than Steam, which charge £25.00 when people are getting it for about £2-4. If this were to change, popularity and sales would easily increase and they could work on flaws in their game.
-Tried to compete with Overwatch and lost dramatically, the game released at the wrong time and place.
-Game gets bland after time, the PvE is often repetitive, such as defend the objective or take out all of the Thrall/Varelsi.
- the idiot who decided to compete with overwatch on twitter and making it look bad

Overall, Battleborn is not a bad game. But I do fear that in the next upcoming years, the game will die. It's a sad thought to see a game this good get treated badly because of its reputation. Although if the devs were to make some changes, like making it Free to Play, then I could see it working. The game on console is currently doing better with popularity than PC and steam, but my point still stands that the game is too expensive and puts people off of getting it.
But seriously, in all honesty I recommend this game, all old players are always willing to help new players when they start the game, because of the friendly community. Thanks for reading and speech over xd.

So I decided quite a bit by playing it the whole of today, and I recommend this game just about,
If I could, I would give it a mixed review so I'll go ahead and explains the good bits and the bits that need work.
First up,
Good things:
-Every character is unique ability and personality-wise.
-They put alot of effort into customization.
-They put good effort into their UI and player mechanics.
-Great rewards for early-access people.
-Not a totally money-wasting game, such as buying things directly, you need to take your chances from a chest.
-The game style is amazing, a total adrenaline rush.
-The battlerite cards make a huge impact and difference in rounds to come, some are even game-changers.
I'm tired right now so that's all I can remember off the top of my head.

Things that need adjusting (In my opinion)
-Unbalanced characters, is understandable because of the early access type of thing.
-I'll write a whole thing about her, but a particular character needs nerfing and she is called Freya. I played 5 online matches today, and all 5 lost. Either because of me trying people out, my ally, or literally Freya. Sure you can focus her, but by time you've done that, her ally will probably finish you off, because Freya has probably killed your ally anyway. Just to summarise, she does not make Battlerite look very appealing if she is in your game.
-Bugs and glitches, once again not a big concern due to early access.
-Since your team is usually very small, maximum 3v3, there can be people that flame on you if you don't do as your told.

That's about all I can think of, I really hope Battlerite can become a really fun, balanced and entertaining game, with a nice community (we all know they can't be perfect) but I can't wait for the final game.

Here's my summary and opinion on Paladins:
Overall, this is a decent game for people that cannot afford or just do not like Overwatch or even Battleborn in general. I'll start by summing up all of the good and bad thing.

Good:
-Maps are highly detailed and unique.
-The cards system can allow people to play the way they want which can have an entirely different feel and affect on the game.
-Every champion has their flaws and strengths, and balanced ultimates (besides one)
-The lobby screen has been updated many times to suit the sort of game Hi-Rez wants it to be, while listening to fans aswell, not to mention the game has changed ALOT since closed beta.
-The rare and epic skins have been designed beautifully such as the vampire hunter Cassie or the Skye robot typed one.

Now the bad things
-Slight bugs but is not really a problem considering they state it is still in a form of beta.
-Balance in the game is all over the place at the moment. Skye for an example, she started of weak but slowly got buffed more and more to the point where she is just unkillable. Her ult WILL kill you in most cases.
-As I've said this game is in closed beta, but I would love to see more map variety.
-When Paladins was first in the making, I loved the sort of open-map kind of feel, you didn't feel squished and made to go to one place, you could explore the map to find different flank routes or maybe even sniping spots. I hate the fact they have changed all of that and I would love to see it added back again, I wouldn't even care if it was map specific.
-The game modes (most of them) have been removed such as the survival and payload which were in my opinion a good addition to the game, I hope they will add them back in the future.
-Removing someone from a game impacts it so much. Ying was removed recently and she was very strong in a way, but not too strong. Sadly, they tried changing her kit to a support and it didn't work out so they're fixing her currently, but they never needed to change it in the first place.

This is only my opinion but as an early access reviewer I hope this can be of use. Thanks for reading my review on Paladins.
(I know I have more dislikes about the game than likes but I honestly do recommend the game, they were only a few tiny errors that impact ME personally.)

My Review For SMITE!

So for a start, I highly recommend this game for already experienced MOBA players, of course I experienced this the hard way.

The Good Stuff:
-The graphics are stunning
-It's been highly developed and it's payed off
-A wide selection of gods to choose, and a new one released every month or two
-Skins are decent and some aren't COMPLETELY hard to get if you don't spend money on it
-Every season they tweak everything so it's never boring
-Variety of game modes and a unique one every day
So much more


The Bad Stuff:
-The game is shrouded with errors on startup
-Most of it is completely pay2win (the all gods package, skins, chests)
-Special Events that only people that buy stuff can participate
-All good skins are either exclusive or limited

Thats really all I can think of, I've been playing this for about 6 months (just before it was released on steam) and I'm not even slightly bored of it. All of the things you can collect, so many gods to try out, it's just amazing. I definitely recommend.

So after playing this game for just over 1000 hours now, I've decided to come back to this review.
I've played other games in my times so the graphics aren't as stunning as I thought, but then again it is run on an old engine.
The updates are announced every 2 weeks to keep it fresh so you don't get bored. However, the one thing I've learnt in my time around Hi-Rez games is that they are horrible with balance.
The community has grown so much in a good AND bad way. For example, there is more toxicity, but also more teamwork which is essential in this game and others. I've moved on to Paladins for now but I threw alot of money at this game and I do not regret it. Keep it up Hi-Rez, I will continue to support your beta game, Paladins too.

This is a definitely one of the best games I've ever played.

Good Stuff:
-Not as much crashing as I thought.
-Amazing items.
-The friends and club systems are fantastic, really love games that have a great online feature.
-An MMORPG of Minecraft.
-Fantastic and fair item drops.
-Great crafting systems.

Bad Stuff:
-The packs in the store are too overpriced (IRL money-wise) but I can understand since they need money to expand server limits and such
-I know they cannot help this but the queues are so long, 45 minutes just to get in the game.
-If you need to go AFK for around 10 minutes it kicks you for inactivity and you must rejoin the queue, I do not think this is necessary.

That's about it. I hope that this game will continue to be popular for a long time as I can't get enough of it.
Best game ever <3

I recommend this game for the following reasons:

Positive:
-Great range of monsters to fight.
-Difficulty settings are good to re-do missions.
-The speed and graphics of the game run smoother than I thought.
-Gives you a broad and unique selection when picking your character.
-You can create multiple characters (this helps when your bored with your previous ones)
-Love the friend system. So easy to go to friends instead of complicatedly finding them.

Negative:
-Crashing at some points, sometimes when completing a floor on a dungeon and when I click to choose the reward it crashes.
-The community isn't the greatest for me. I know this isn't a problem with the game itself, but the community DOES lack in kindness.
-Not a good range of weapons in the store. All they do is improve on the weapons that you get on a level (e.g, the Zapper. in the store there is 2 other versions of it and both give more impact on 'Shocking' the enemy. This doesn't really cut it's deal with the money.) When I was new to the game I payed £6.99 for a gun that A. I can't use until rank 8-1 and B. Doesn't do anything different.
-Make it clearer about the ranking when buying things from the store. Possibly restrict people from buying the guns or swords etc. until they reach the rank, a warning on the top isn't good enough.

In the end, I do recommend this game. Even though I wasted some money, it's a good game to just play with your friends. Not many games have the friending and party systems, love the uniqueness of this game.

Yes, I do recommend this game, but not highly.

Positive:
The graphics are good enough to play in, kinda 3D (which for me is one of my favourite game designs).
Choices between decks are good, and surprisingly the game isn't a money trap.

Negative:
Sometimes (mostly all the time) I cannot start up the game, it always says an error has occurred.
Randomly in games it says it has crashed and to send a bug report.
Not alot of people on at certain times and the matchmaking system could be improved.

-
Coming back to this review, the developer has abandoned the game and is no longer updated. The playerbase consists of about 5 people, and crashes mostly all the time.
Rest in peace Epic Arena.

Easily one of the best zombie games I've ever encountered.

Good Things:
- Gold DLC makes your life a miracle.
- For once, a zombie game that is in a way kid friendly, not realistic.
- Very good for all your friends to play.
- The updates are entertaining because they add new maps, items etc.

Bad Things:
- Quite glitchy but is understandable because it's only been out for a short amount of time.
- Once zombies see you they're glued to you, they should have a cooldown time so if you're out of sight after about 1 minute of chasing you, they stop. This way, it stops the whole town of zombies following you.
- If you make your own server it's difficult to set it up and update it to new versions of the game.

Overall this is a fantastic game, I definitely recommend.
