Recent reviews by M'aiq the Liar

M'aiq is happy to see this game leave early access, before this one shed his mortal coil.

M'aiq is having fun playing in co-op, with a friend. This one was reminded of SNES RPG games, especially "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past". M'aiq may update his review at a later date, once this one plays more.

M'aiq wishes you well.

M'aiq bought this game to play with his friends, but this one's friends work too much. ^_^
[Update]
M'aiq finally got a friend online to play with, and this one had a blast clubbing and capturing peaceful creatures to do his chores. M'aiq quickly learned how to roll dodge to victory, but also developed a healthy respect for creatures much larger and more powerful than himself. This one will wait a long while and continue leveling, before squaring up with the "King of the Forest" again. X_X

M'aiq wishes he'd stayed in Skyrim...

(Update)
M'aiq got bored and moved on, for now. But, this one has hope that Bethesda and the free modding community will make it right. M'aiq sees this game as a large sandbox, just waiting to be filled with worthwhile content.

M'aiq would only recommend this game if you have two other friends to play co-op with, since everything story and character-wise is bland, boring and without personality. This one recommends Far Cry 5 instead, since it has much more interesting characters and story. The only advantage Wildlands has over Far Cry 5 is its three-player un-tethered co-op as opposed to Far Cry 5's two-player tethered co-op. M'aiq wishes you well.

Greetings, friends! ^_^
M'aiq has a review for you, this one hopes you enjoy reading it.

M'aiq doesn't usually take part in such an unforgiving world as Valheim. But, this one's friends convinced M'aiq that he would enjoy it. This one is happy to say they were right, M'aiq does indeed enjoy the adventure so far. M'aiq hasn't yet completed his adventure. As of this review, this one has only defeated two of the five monsters. M'aiq also now has a healthy fear of swimming in swamp water.

This one doesn't care to build things like a homestead, but luckily M'aiq has a busybody friend that has built nearly everything we use on our adventures. This one is most happy sprinting through the open fields and forests while slaughtering the pesky tree people. M'aiq brings home loads of torch fuel to keep the lights on, while this one's friend takes care of the home building. In short, M'aiq is having a great time and thinks you will too. This one would recommend bringing a friend or two, as almost everything is more fun with friends.

M'aiq thanks you for reading this far into his review, this one may update his review at a later date if more noteworthy events take place.

M'aiq wishes you well.

M'aiq is having a great time making new friends in the Subverse universe, and this one has some favorable early first impressions. M'aiq is noticing very high production quality, from the animations as well as the general game-play. This one is also a fan of humor, jokes and memes, which he has already encountered a few of. Difficulty-wise, this one is no expert at "bullet hell" style combat games or tactical XCOM style "turn-based" combat. But, using his Xboner controller, was able to dispatch many space pirates and a boss battle while this one suffered no deaths.

This one may update his review at a later date, with further observations. M'aiq promises not to spoil anything story-wise. This one knows better.

M'aiq wishes you well.

Greetings, friends.
M'aiq has a review for you all.

M'aiq feels lucky that the only bug he has encountered thus far is NPCs popping in. This one imagines that was caused by setting his FOV to max. M'aiq has been enjoying every moment, minus the boring hacking mini-game. This one prefers running around like a burning Khajiit in a rocking chair factory, slicing and dicing the bad men with his katana.

M'aiq also tried setting the graphics to 4K Ultra with RTX on, but this one quickly changed his mind upon being reduced to 17 FPS. This one's system is no slouch, with an RTX-2080 and 64GB of RAM, but M'aiq's PC still had to yield his 4K RTX on adventure down to 2K with RTX off. All things considered, this one still recommends Cyberpunk 2077, because M'aiq has been having a great time exploring the sights and sounds of Night City. This one hopes you all have a pleasant time exploring this wonderful, colorful world.

(UPDATE: M'aiq completed the story and all side missions, and decided to update his review.)
M'aiq had a great time in Night City and enjoyed making friends along the way of his adventure. This one enjoyed assisting the people of Night City and the outlying areas. M'aiq's few negative experiences include sudden death by walking on sloped surfaces like horizontal
cylindrical water tanks, Badlands boulders and some cars. This one also had his arm cannon mysteriously disappear from his inventory, while wandering the city, post-story.

M'aiq is still overall pleased with his time in Night City and loved the well written characters that he met during his adventure, so much so that it saddened him a bit when the adventure was over. This one feels the same bittersweet outlook that he felt after completing other epic stories like Bioshock Infinite and the Mass Effect trilogy.

M'aiq wishes you well.

M'aiq has enjoyed his return to the Borderlands, this one recommends this new outing as well. M'aiq has enjoyed many laughs at the sometimes witty and usually humorous dialogue, especially Tina . This one also felt the game-play has gotten smoother paced, especially the firefights. Of which, there is plenty. M'aiq won't say the same about the vehicles, however. They handle like Halo's Warthogs, after a few too many bottles of mead, wine and ale. This one also appreciated the new loot sharing system, no longer must one race to loot containers to quickly grab every gun. Everybody sees there own loot, unless you enable "Coopetitive", which behaves like the older Borderlands titles.

TL;DR - If you enjoyed past titles in the Borderlands series, M'aiq will recommend Borderlands 3 to you. This one recommends it even more if you have allies to play with. M'aiq thanks you for reading his review.

M'aiq wishes you well.

M'aiq has had a blast playing over the years, this one especially loves how mod friendly this game is. M'aiq would describe the physics as "sim-cade", as it's not as realistic as Forza Motorsport, but still leaps above arcade physics games like current Need for Speed games. This one loves how the vehicles crumple and crush during collisions, with the soft-body physics. The only major complaint M'aiq has is the "vertex memory buffer" crash that occur when the game reaches its VRAM limit. But, this one only encounters this crash when playing mod added tracks, like "The Very Track Pack"'s Talladega Speedway. Overall, M'aiq would recommend this game to anybody that like racing and crashing cars, with realistic-ish physics.

This one thanks you for reading his review. M'aiq wishes you well.
