I've bought the game in good faith of those early 90% ratings, but this is a rare occasion where the rating doesn't fit the actual game at all. I got deceived and oh boy where do I even start...

The game has horrible writing and dialogue, And I mean that!. It's sooo bad. Kyle is portrayed as this tough guy whose always on edge and the interactions between him and the other characters are super short and hella corny. Everything feels forced and unnatural.

World looks pretty lifeless in some areas, the amount of times I've come across places where the level design just feels off. I found so many textures weird overlaps especially on the rocky areas, floating decals
and so on.

The level and weapon scaling also doesn't make sense, they divide areas in Lvl 1, 6, 11 zones and getting higher level barely changed how our weapons felt against the infected. Even after getting to legend level the weapons felt so bad. Especially against Armed Soldiers - How come a crossbow is the most useful weapon with one shot potential but using my melee feels like I am having a boss fight with every enemy and then same reversed - How come melee does so much more damage against boss enemies but my armed weapons suddenly become BB guns.

So many things just don't make sense. It feels rushed and unpolished - This is BARELY a DLC not a full priced standalone title. It rests on the huge popularity of the first game and it shows.

4 / 10

Another RE game, another banger. The story is amazing and kept me captivated. There is so much variety thanks to the intuitive gameplay decisions, using a first-person horror cam for Grace and a third-person perspective for Leon.

It ran outstandingly well, with zero bugs or crashes since day one. The only thing that bothered me, was not being able to change the FOV. I know it could have been a directed decision for having a more immersive feeling but I am pretty sure if you play this on a widescreen, it will definitely feel bad and too close to play.

Nonetheless easy 9.8/10 for me.

The game improved in so many ways compared to hollow knight. I just love how it being the sequel still holding up to new gameplay style, while giving us insanely well made world building with beautiful environments and characters.

Nonetheless it has a mean after taste to it. Bilewater can suck a fat one!

9.6/10

Can't even play this ♥♥♥♥ without having drops to one digit FPS. Mind you I don't have a bad system.

Rotting optimization.

What the f is this turtle movement. Tries to hard tbh - sooo much clutter and its already full gacha mode. Get the main game idea right before going full crazy mode.

I was looking for a good platformer for a while now. Finished the classics such as hollow knight or blasphemous few years ago and when I checked out the thumbnails I was first a little bit sceptical but the reviews convinced me to pick it up. I can tell you It was a damn good decision.

Artstyle fits the game so well. Combat with the parry system is hard to learn but so rewarding once you get a hang out of it. Bosses were hard but not too sweaty. I didn't expect too much but got blown away by it.

9.5/10

Better than launch but oh boy is it still bad

I haven't seen anything about this game, only after specifically searching for Singleplayer FPS games it just popped out of nowhere. It's definitely a secret gem. Mechanics are fitting, game runs and plays smooth as butter while looking stunning.

I am looking forward for more contant. Easily a 9+/10 so far.

The only pros I have about the game that it looks good, I even like those drawing effects. BUT the rest ohh my god... where do I begin

- Crashes, Freezes, Endless loops on loading screens in the beginning
- Horrendous story and dialogues
- Ridiculous forced gender politics
- Pay to progress/win in a CAR game
- Insanly grindy... I mean it takes ages to progress

Pitiful game, honestly.

If you are into DOOM type shooters, this is a pretty decent game. Runs insanely well, smooth gunplay BUT it gets sooo repetitive after just 30 minutes. Sometimes you face new enemies but then the cycle repeats itself.

Only purchase when on discount. 7.5/10
