All Things Video Games & Game Reviews Part II

[Gonzo]

Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

No I didn't, but I just heard someone compare this as Doom Eternal (Hades 2) to Doom 2016 (Hades) because of new mechanics and that has me worried. I did not jive with what Doom Eternal did after 2016.

I obviously loved the original doom games but ya the newer ones didn't do much for me. Weird I had not seen it compared to doom, I was browsing the forums a bit.

Should have been GOTY when it came out, imo.

I am still only in Chapter 11 and parts of it have grown on me. My biggest gripes so far really are some of the tedious mini games such as the Ft Condor one or that robot one. I had to search online to see if playing them in hard mode impacted anything. Since it didn't, I did the bare minimum to get past them and move on.

Chadley is the Jar Jar Binks of Rebirth. Why the developers felt he needed that much time is beyond me as I know of no one who likes him. I get him being there for the combat simulator and developing materia, but his stupid music box that you can't disable without killing all volume and his constant cutting in after almost every discovery really gets tiresome. Hoping that in the third installment the scale him back significantly.

I love FF 16. So the new Leviathan DLC is out? I really haven't picked that up since I beat their first DLC and I started on Rebirth.

the most wishlisted game on Steam dropped today.



this game is beautiful. Manor Lords plays like Tropico but the battles are more involved. I played this morning but havent had a battle yet.

I was looking at this. Looks sort of like Banished which was also a 1 man show

****ing agreed. I’m on the second part of the map now and don’t find completing all of the side quests and interest points tedious whatsoever.

The stand-off mechanic is pretty awesome and I just unlocked Ghost Stance which is incredibly cool as well.

I’m not sure what game it went up against but it must have been amazing.

I suppose my highest praise comes from the fact that I had zero interest in visiting Japan prior to playing and everytime I fire it up I gain a deeper desire to go see the country. Coincidentally I’d also like to become a samurai but that’s an adventure for another lifetime.
