Sharkcards success is why GTA6 is taking so long.

This game has a lot going for it. However I just got over a six hour play session where I thought autosave was enabled, and my game randomly crashed. This is frustrating as I had just finished moving my industrial area for a big highway interchange. I have to make a new city almost every three months due to save corruption somehow, even though I save these to Steam Cloud, and Locally, without overwriting the previous save files. The saves will just break. This game needs to mature. In the meantime, the original Cities Skylines is very good. It also has a lot more mods, and can be graphically enhanced to have the same if not all the features of CS2. Honestly, this game isn't a game worth playing in its current state. I am super annoyed that I cannot keep coming back to a city that i've invested hours into building.

Game works well, not an offline on LAN settings which is kind of tragic, however I rarely get bored playing this game *btter with friends*

Unlike most EA games, this game is not bad. There isn't a single micro-transaction and there is truly a story. Plus, it is cannon.

Despite issues from the get-go at launch, us PC gamers are no stranger to bad launches we're seeing it time and time again. Respawn is willing to admit and acknowledge there was issues on higher end machines regarding FPS and stutters. A fix will likely be released soon.

The game is almost exactly like Fallen Order in terms of Combat, although we get dual-wield sabers, and a blaster (albeit no aiming of it - it's auto aim if your camera is reasonably close to the target entity). Blaster bolts are harder to return to sender as the light saber active time is now a factor in the reflection. The controls are a little clunky if I'm honest. They had it mastered perfectly for PC in Fallen Order, however new keybinds for old features is a little stange to get used to. And C is the back key, not like backspace or something normal but big deal you can remap it.

In terms of Story, I've only played 10 hours, but the planets, the galaxy, the characters, and the environments are all super amazing. I have no complaint about a single part of it. There is a lot of new adversaries, some even originating from 1000s of years before the gameplay time period. It's also awesome seeing planets like Jedah that aren't seen for more than rouge one. Coruscant with RTX on feels like cyberpunk with puzzles, and blasters. It's awesome. I do wish there was more venators though

This game has such an amazing visual style, and really innovative gameplay

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a true example of what a studio can accomplish with time and patients. There is virtually no way for this game to fail. Almost ever game launched since 2019 has had significant and notable issues. This game has almost none, if there are any, I've yet to notice them.

As far as game-play, Basically you get to choose where in the timeline you start, with basic options like The Phantom Menace, A New Hope, and The Force Awakens, you start at the respective beginning of each movie. The ability to explore the planets with amazing designed maps and characters is awesome. There are some things cut back from the movie, there are some things in the game the movie doesn't have, in terms of fill in the blanks, we still know nothing about the rise of the first order than an emo kid with a lightsaber (i mean laser sword because the sequels aren't cannon to me). I wish there were more Star Wars: Clone Wars & The bad batch, and Star Wars: Rebels content in between them all just to offer a little more context. This game still does amazing even without it.

Performance is pretty good, granted it's a Lego game, the only Lego things are the close-up non-ambient objects which is completely fine because it just adds to the immersion of the game, even with all those dynamic entities and props and ambient environment it preforms at like 60FPS consistently (V-Sync is always on I think).

Story, there are not a whole lot of details to call home about in these games, they are just playable movies from each respective trilogy.

I mean I have 2.9 hours on this game, not once have I ended up in a match with any other players. Single player is the only way to play and even then I can't even play on the DLC maps which cost extra :/ typical EA if you ask me. Game is completely dead, just checked steam activity for this game and we're looking at 70~ players in the past month. Don't buy it at this point it's fighting dumb AI while a calamari yells at you that you aren't getting support, or sitting in a menu. Don't feel too much different about battlefront II, but at least there are players

Stellaris is a really fun and interesting galactic conquest type game. In a lot of ways it is complex and hard to understand if you're brand new to the game. With that said after about 2-3 failed civilizations you'll have a sense of how the game works. Some of the mechanics are so over the top, such as economy. Earlier in the game you only have access to the internal empire market (which is only your empire) which is okay and sometimes good, especially in solo. Once you've unlocked the Galactic Community or the senate, you'll be given a bill proposal to establish the galactic market which can offer advantages and disadvantages. Players/AI Emipres economies if strong enough have the ability to completely throw a war to the side of their choice. Visually the game looks pretty good, I mean it's kinda a time driven point-and-click type of game, however do not let that deceive you because the game is super good and has a lot of things to back my point up


EDIT: Would be more fun if their modded multiplayer had any details about what exactly isn't working wehn loading a multiplayer game with differing mods.

How do you even begin to explain what is wrong with this game?

First of all cheaters, are a very big problem. There is no anticheat at all, it only detects if a library is loaded after run time, or checks if there are non-natives things being rendered on the screen. Sane as battlefield. There is no maintenance to the game, half the time you can't even connect to the servers.

The one HP bug everybody talks about it a "Server Utility" that can be downloaded from Unknown Cheats to give everyone infinite 1HP. Seriously EA has to fix this one. I paid full price after EA play to play this and have since reached too many hours to get a refund and I am actually upset. This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ embarrassing EA. Seriously. Hackers shouldn't be breaking the game like this for you to ignore it so clearly, you can't play a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game mode without finding a cheater like that. Honestly at the point of 1HP just consider yourself dead. It's just a $51 cookie clicker with a star wars skin tbh.

DO NO WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE GAME - That is until EA fixes it with more then a load library anticheat. (idk something like manual map, or load module.) It's seriously not that hard EA some of us do this in our sleep.

Introduction:
After the events of Order 66, "The Jedi purge" the remaining Jedi must go into hiding and conceal their powers, until...
To save a friend from certain death you suspend them in the air using the force revealing yourself to the empire and must go on the run causing them as much trouble as you can in a despite an attempt to restore the Jedi Order, and ultimately the Galactic Republic.

Gameplay:
You are able to choose your difficulty on a scale of Jedi Knight, Jedi Master, or Jedi Grand Master, or for super easy mode "Story mode". It's similar to dark souls but easier... It still sets itself apart with lots of map diversity and customization. There is a clear lack of combat to be honest, like sometimes it's a couple storm troopers but no matter what your difficulty, they take maybe 12 seconds to kill which is disappointing, however understandable considering that you're a Jedi. I just wish you could have entire garrisons, or squadrons of troppers heading towards you. My favorite thing to do in the entire game, deflect or freeze blaster lasers! The visuals of the game are absolutely amazing, even sometimes confusing me for being ray-traced. The world detail is very good, completely self-guided, no zones, just world - that said there are borders which suck like a lot, for example on Bogano if you fall you just die, and on Zeffo either a massive ship or falling to you death, its a very out-of-bounds borderlands-esk forced death, this isn't a complaint, it's just explaining how they keep you in the world. The weapon (being lightsaber because you cannot use anything other than your saber and the force) is really really good, I wish battlefront games had the block and returning like this game because it's well done. One complaint though - why does the empire shock sticks, that are standard issue have such high damage compared to a lightsaber? As you continue through the game you will unlock more force powers which can be used in the story to make some things easier which nothing but cosmetic usage, or completely relevant you need it or you're not finishing the game. The game was very well thought out, very well executed, and fairly well done providing easily over 100 fps at almost any given time, on epic settings while looking amazing. In my eyes, the only problem I really have with this game is the Holomap which is hard to understand, use and figure out anything other than the depth of what level you should be on, and the lack of co-op, I would have loved to hunted holocrons with my friend or even had them play from the empires side hunting Cal (the Padawan). Cals acting was perfect, BD-1 is a good droid but kind of unhelpful sometimes.


I do recommend trying this game, once you buy it there are no microtransactions or pay-to-win mechanics.

Story connection:
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, so far is canon. Bracca can be seen in the first season of Disney's The Bad Batch. I think we're going to see more and more of Bracca and Cal and hear about him more in time, potentially in Kenobi or the Ahsoka Series. I admire the flashbacks and how true this game really is to the rest of the Star Wars Story. We see Cal as a padawan, and he and his master fight for the republic alongside clone troopers, and the execution and aftermath of Order 66, the replacement of clones, Imperial Priorities, Politics, Agendas. For the most part, cal worked alone. He had help from people around him sometimes but he often worked alone sometimes could be considered a rebel cell on his own.

Conclusion:
I love this game, I keep coming back to play it again, I love Venator-class Star Destroyers and I love Vader and the concept of the Force, I really hope we get something super similar to this in the future with Jedi Fallen Order II, plus a bunch more Venator, and maybe co-op.
