Absolutely Love this game. Has elements and inspiration from a mix of games. A little bit of back 4 blood, left 4 dead, rainbow six extraction, metal gear survive, World war z much more.

Gunplay is fun. Pretty decent selection of weapons.
Classes each give a different and useful element to the gameplay loop
I like the story so far. Looking forward to what it brings later.

Absolutely recommend this title. pricepoint is great for what you get. Hopefully this game is successful!

Censorship in games is terrible. Especially when you decide to change it post release without any feedback from your community. L developer

Fun gameplay loop. Every update brings a new challenge to face. Love the variety. You can play anything you want and have fun with it. Community engagement is the cherry on top. Recommended!

Performance on windows and Cachy OS via proton is excellent.

TLDR: This is what Paywalling is, and the more you support it the more publishers and developer think this practice is okay.

I'll start off by saying that this service is awesome if you want to have your own private server for grabbing world scrap, finishing quests and raids with as little latency possible, infinite storage of strap you need, Extra atoms to spend in the stop without paying for single packages, and a survival tent you can pretty much place anywhere and travel for free.

That all being said this practice is Predatory as all can be and here's why.

You will most likely purchase this if you are a long time player because it gets extremely difficult to keep the aid items, weapons, armor, and scrap all together in one place unless you are super particular. You will purchase this just to give you some breathing space in your stash box.
If you want more stable game play because the server is too full, you're trying to farm specific items but they're all gone because a player took them, or you're trying to do your story quest/raid without issues of latency. You will purchase this for that private server.
If you're sick of paying caps to travel everywhere, you'll purchase this for the tent and cool skins. Luckily for you too, you have a mobile stash point and a scrap box so you don't have to walk all the way to somewhere to manage your inventory.
You get atoms to spend in the shop! You can make your camp look cooler than anyone elses with those "free" caps. But since the story only has a "Limited time" for you to purchase those cool items, you'll most likely spend them fast to get the item so you dont miss out only to find out that some even cooler stuff has released a day or week after. And since you spent those atoms, you most likely will buy more.

All in all, this is a business model you should not support in any game let alone a AAA game. The odds are stacked against you. Think about the situations you encountered in game and how easy it is to Just buy it. Please be responsible for your purchases.

To start, I've played Fallout 76 since launch on and off since release. I've experienced first have the community as a whole, the bugs, and the backlash this game has received. I am really in between while writing this review because I personally enjoy this game and will continue to enjoy the game. Here's my review on Fallout 76.

The Good:

• The community in game is very friendly. Countless times I've ran into genuinely helpful players who want to play and have fun. I've rarely ran into toxic people but you do encounter them from time to time especially if you are PVP player.
  
• I love the story post wastelanders release. Fallout 76's initial release was exciting but a Fallout world without human NPCs is empty. They really outdid themselves with this release, that feeling of the world being whole is back and its completely refreshing.
  
• The game plays like fallout 4 with an easier survival system. Its not too demanding and you have to manage your food/water, inventory, and stash effectively.
  
• There is tons to do for a new player. Storylines, gear to collect, character builds to make, and now but this update you have to make a new character to experience different story lines if your choices were different.
  
• The lore is exciting and if you are a fallout fan you will enjoy experiencing that has to come!

The Bad:

• Bugs that have been in the game since launch are still present in game. Some examples include enemies that just freeze up and stop taking damage, enemies healing if they take too much damage at once and heal up, HUD issues, camp objects not being able to be placed in places that they can obviously go. Overall performance issues even after tweaking on a high end system. The list goes on, but its pretty inexcusable to have these old things in game.
  
• The way Bethesda has handled the game in general and the direction it has gone. This is a big one. This is a model most AAA games are leaning towards. And that is Live service. If you follow this game, you have seen the PR for this game. It has been bad! The games micro transactions caters to following and works effectively for these kinds of people:
  1. Players who like to "show off" stuff they have received. Whether that be Atom shop skins/items or gear they earned from gameplay. Then you buy camp items to make your camp stand out. You can earn some stuff in game from normal gameplay (which there are much more cooler items in the atom shop). But more often than not due to the "Limited time" stamp in the stop, you are pressured to hurry to earn your daily/weekly atoms or buy them so you don't lose out.
  2. People who want to grind but don't really want to put that extra work in to effectively manage their inventory. Everything needs junk in this game and you will be using a lot of it. Bethesda's solution? Make a premium subscription to have an infinite scrap box. While it is extremely conveint, the average player who doesn't pay has to work extra hard to effectively manage everything. Unless you are really great or want to put the time and effort into doing that, you will feel more pressure to have a stashbox that can hold all the stuff you need in one place.
  
• You saw that I mentioned the fallout 1st items in my previous paragraphs, but I really need to reiderate this point to you guys. Fallout 1st and the atom shop is predatory, and the reason why is because it uses the "Limited time" feature, locks quality of life features (Private server, A free caps travel place vurtually anywhere tent, and an unlimited stash box) behind a subscription fee. This is paywalling.

I'll be honest to you as a gamer and fallout fan, I don't recommend this game because it is still very buggy. I also can't recommend that you support this kind of "premium feature" in games. Will it stop me from continuing to enjoy and play this game? Not really and I understand I am a part of the issue too. You can still enjoy the game without spending a time in the in game store.
If we allow game companies to practice this live service, microtransactions, and paywalling features in a AAA or premium game, we are allowing this cycle to continue and they will think this is okay to do. If you are an impulsive purchaser and a person who wants to show off their wares they earned or bought. I would advise you to please watch yourself. It is very easy to get sucked into microtransactions.[/b]

I'll be honest here. When this game was first announced I was excited. "A whole new metal gear? No way this is canon." As the gameplay trailers and other news came out for this game I was less and less hyped about this game.

When the game came out I'll admit I waited a bit before buying it because I was on the fence. I watched gameplays, streams, and tried to see if I would like it but no one could really show me exactly so I bought it. The melee combat was weird but the gunplay was exactly MGS 5 I remember and loved. So I continued to play, build my base, play coop, and develop my character.

I love this game. Why? Its like a interactive towards defense with MGS mechanics. Thats the best way to explain it for me. I have been looking for a defense game like this for a long time and this was exactly how I always saw playing a game like this would be like.

I would recommend this game if you have friends to play with. You will be grinding but its rewarding when your team effort lets you triumph in some of these difficult stages. I just wish Konami put the same effort into this game as they did with metal gear online 3. But I digress.

Garrysmod is a sandbox game with literally endless possibilities on what you can do. I send a good portion of my young adulthood developing and running server (specifically darkrp) and learned everything from scratch. There are a lot of great communities and people to meet out there. Whether you're messing around with ragdolls in sandbox, defending against hordes of zombies, roleplaying as a police officer, trying to keep your role secret to eliminate the rest of the players, positioning your prop just right so you cant be found, or running away form a murderer. I'm sure you will find joy that this sandbox has to offer. Not to mention the vast amount of content there is out there to add more to your experience.

I 100% recommend you try this game out.

Game is dead. You would be lucky to match with 4 players total ever.

Been playing this game since launch despite the "24 hours" of this current review. At the start this game was amazing. The mechanics, movement, weapon selection was on par! Most of the weapons you earned from regular gameplay and "grinding"

Gface and now my.games have slowly implemented things into the game to make it pay 2 win. So if you're impatient or have the money to skip past the rest, you can have a weapon that has all the attachment slots unlocked and does far more base damage than the regular in game earned cash weapon. But this isn't limited to just weapons. Premium armor (which can give you extra hit points, regeneration, and so on).

Your base sniper will take two shots to kill in the torso and anywhere else (1 shot headshot). You $30 sniper will have a higher clip size, be one shot on any part of the body, will fire faster, and be able to pierce twice as much people. You tell me what you would prefer.

If you manage to buy some kredits or earn some for whatever reason. In game weapons (not even top tier camos) cost $20 or even $30 dollars to have keep the gun. After you purchase it it has a durability use for each match and requires you to constantly put match money into it. If you don't want to pay $30 to get a gold gun you can try the boxes. The drop rates for good things are extremely low and you will most likely never get something you are after in the boxes.

I don't see cheaters on a regular basis but when you do manage to run into one, there is no option to kick the player if your team is one getting the grief and have to rely on the other team to be honest (which in my many encounters I've only seen this done ONCE ever). You also get penalized for leaving the game regardless.

In order to keep up with competitive after level 20 and so on, you will have to invest some money into decent gear or you will get destroyed.

I'm not surprised this happened, it's a free to play game. Developers have to keep the servers up somehow. Can't rely on whales to keep your game alive though. It was fun while it lasted

Wow that was pretty fun.
RE Series returns to its classic self. Its a lot different then the RE 6,5, and 4 we've come to know. Puzzles that make you somewhat have to pay attention. Very scary atmosphere. First person view gives it a new feeling entirely. Not knowing what's around the corner or when something will pop out on you. The jumpscares are not too bad.

Pros:
Goes back to the classic puzzle gameplay
Performance was very smooth for me (120+ fps all the time) with very few shutters (mainly when oging into how houses)
Fast loading times
More of a survival horror in terms of you not getting 1000 ammo. Bullets are pretty scarse and enemies take a bit to take out.

Cons:
I beat the game in under 6 hours. No seriously. Too me this is super short.


May add more in the future. But for now, I can say I enjoyed this game a bunch.
