Battlefield 6 is a mess. The maps are tiny, clearly not playtested, and the whole game screams "rushed". It’s more mediocre than 2142, slapped together with a thin coat of BF3/4 paint to fool people into thinking this is not just another CoD with a worse campaign. Cheaters everywhere, no PvE or co-op worth a damn. Refund was the only sane move.

Not a good start. Less than 2 hours in campaign and I am stuck on the "observe the site details summary" part.

Bought it, tried it, couldn`t find the part where it turns into a game. It’s basically Excel with explosions. The visuals are ancient, the gameplay is nonexistent, and the bugs are the real threat here. It won’t be worth more than $10 at release, and as is, they’d have to pay me to play. I spent nearly two hours clicking ships around a map, only for $2 million Tomahawks to plow into a random 50-foot island embankment. Even MS-DOS games in the 90s handled that better. “Early release” apparently means “barely works.”

Waited a year for a discount just to play the campaign. It was bad. Stopped playing at Emergence (of course, too late for Steam to refund me). I won’t buy another CoD game unless it costs less than $10, which is what it’s worth.

The game looks promising, but frequent crashes during main missions (Yaya’s and Oda’s) make progression impossible. Also, the Tanto glitch in combo mode disrupts gameplay.

Update: Most bugs have been fixed, and the game now runs smoothly. It is bloated and gets repetitive like any AC entry, but the story is worthwhile, and the gameplay is solid.

New weapons are as mediocre as ever, and honestly, they could’ve skipped the cosmetics (yes, even though they are "free"). A jumpsuit and a skateboard helmet? Really? What’s next, a pair of knee pads for maximum "tacticooll" flair? New maps are the worst yet: oversized and unrealistic. SWAT/COAST sending 4 dudes to clear out an entire cruise ship-sized yacht? Then a whole oil rig? What about a huge resort? Pathetic.

As expected, the new update and DLC have introduced more issues:

- Performance has taken an even greater hit (yes, drivers are updated).
- AI (swat or suspects) frequently floats, warps, or gets stuck in various locations.
- Animations often overlap awkwardly.
- Cosmetics also overlap.
- The taser is bugged and occasionally doesn’t function at all.
- Reload animations glitched when switching weapons.
- Enemy AI remains still borked and somehow even worse, firing rapidly while sprinting.
- Punching suspects is less effective.
- Most mods have been rendered incompatible once again.
- Character voice repeatedly resets to "Judge".
- Suspects/civilians are unarrestable at times.
- I lost all bindings because my LMB wouldn`t work and I had to delete and verify files. Later some controls are still not customizable.

Plagued with issues. A 30+ hour download lacked pre-load or play-as-you-download options. Shader compilation took 14 minutes, followed by repeated 2-3 min loading phases at every startup.

UI and control are poor, with unintuitive keybind changes and awkward defaults like Z/C to lean and L for the flashlight. Horrendous performance, with lags, low fps in "high" npc areas, crashes during emissions and freezes during saves.

While the game’s potential exists, technical flaws make it frustrating at launch. Avoid it for now.

Crime Scene Cleaner is a brilliantly dark and humorous indie gem that mixes easy puzzle-solving with clever environmental storytelling. As a mob cleaner, you scrub away after gruesome crimes while unraveling the twisted stories behind each scene. The game’s protagonist has a personality, and the narration blends dark humor with some emotional depth. Its satisfying puzzles, fun mess-making mechanics, and subtle, yet engaging, narrative make every mission a delight. I just wish the ending offered a bit more closure, especially regarding the daughter’s storyline. There are still some unanswered questions, but I guess that leaves room for a potential sequel. With its dark humor and compelling atmosphere, this one’s a must-play for anyone who enjoys something offbeat and memorable. 10/10!

It looks fantastic, but it is frustrating to play on PC because the controls feel like they were designed for consoles, making even simple actions clunky with a keyboard and mouse. The UI is complex and confusing, and the pathing tool is a chore to use. After two hours of just navigating the prologue, I still struggled with the basic controls and decided to ask for a refund. It's disappointing, as the game has so much potential, but the PC interface holds it back.

Doesn`t run on Steam Deck. Constantly lags and freezes, despite the patch to improve performance.
