Haven't played much yet, but there are tons of new features. I know there are bugs and lag etc. but I know the developers are working hard to fix them, so I'm not going to give a negative review like so many others, as my experience with the game so far has been great. Please, if you have any issues, try finding advice in the game discussion, and give it a few days. Will update when I have played more

Update 1:

I've played the game for some hours now, and I'm impressed. I love many of the new features, and I'm starting to get used to the new controls and systems. To be honest, I liked the hotkeys in CMS15 better, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I understand why they went for the cake menu, as you have more options without assigning keys, and it's better for the console version which is coming later.

What is really dissapointing though, is the menu system. The main menu looks old, laggy, and should really be improved. I think it has very limited options, and with no possibility to change options while in-game, it's just really dissappointing. Another annoying feature is the tutorial. I did read the introduction which told me to put it on the race track to end the tutorial, however I've played CMS15 and I know that walking to the garage port will give me the option to leave the garage. My issue here is that some new often young players have a difficult time finding out about this, and without patience and abilities to google it, it really ruins the gameplay, unfortunately. Along with countless of bugs, both minor and major, that's about it with my rant.

I still find the game interesting, and of course entertaining. I'm sure that when the developers have fixed the bugs, this game will be the best in the series. With more engines, more realistic ways of doing things, like spring removal, tire removal, tire balancing etc. the game really has more activities and challenges, and is less repetitive. I do wish however that the spring pulling machine would have a more realistic animation, as I can't see at all what the purpose of moving up a few centimetres has.

I love that you can upgrade your garage, and research new and exciting technologies and skills. You may find barns on the map where you can buy parts and cars which you can use in your own or your customers vehicles!

And actually I'm not done with my rant. Why do relatively new cars (younger than 10 years) have a rusted paintwork, and the alloy wheels are covered with rust as well? Who came up with that idea? Have you ever been outside looking at real cars? Please change this. It seems like nobody cares about their cars.

Those were all my thoughts yet. I know there are lots of negative features, but I really can't put a negative review on a game I enjoy so much, especially when it's just released. Will update review later if I don't forget about it :)

To begin my review, I want to comment on most of the negative reviews. No game today comes out without bugs. This is because PCs and software is different, and the developers do not have reasources to test it on all machines. This will however be fixed. I'm not working for Square Enix or Avalanche Studios, but I'm asking you to please reconsider your negative review of the game, because it annoys me that a game like this has a "mixed" score on Steam. This game really deserves more, and when the bugs are fixed and you're able to play, you will realise why. Here is my review of the game. Enjoy!

Just Cause 3, not much different from Just Cause 2, just a whole lot better. You can still blow up everything you see, and do whatever you like. The flying mechanism is much alike, but you can now use a wingsuit, which to me makes the game a lot better than JC2. Instead of making this review look like a conglomerate, I will comment different aspects below:

Graphics:
I could write several pages about the graphics, but to make it short, I'll just say that I love the graphics, and they are improved alot more since JC2. The nature is more detailed, and the shaders look more beautiful.The explosions improved aswell, and even though explosions looked amazing from before, they managed to make them even better. Panau looked more like a plastic world to be honest. Just Cause 2 had crazy graphics at it's time, and Just Cause 3 managed to score well on graphics this time aswell. Great Job developers! Medici is beautiful!

Physics:
Let me just say it has not changed much, which is good. This game should not be realistic when it comes to physics. Things explode everywhere, and that's how I want my Just Cause, just cause. An important improvement is the lovely new grapple. You can now shoot several of them, and "tigthen" them to move objects closer to eachother. I have used this a lot with helicopters, and crashed them into the ground in a hilarious way.

Game mechanics:
As mentioned above, the new grapple is amazing. Another awesome feature in Just Cause 3 is the wingsuit, which I carefully commented above. Oh, how I love the wingsuit. Thanks to the winguit I'm able to fly from A to Z without having to use any vehicle or fast travel. The Fast Travel is great aswell, but it seems like a rarely used feature. I prefer the wing suit, definitely. The fact that you can shoot out several grappling hook wires is also amazing.

Audio:
The audio is similar to the one in Just Cause 2, but they made a few changes. One thing that really amazes me is the feeling after capturing a town. After the fireworks, I can hear a calm music in the background, making it seem like the city is a whole new place after probably years of propaganda speakers and killing soldiers. Some soundtracks are from Just Cause 2, but some are brand new aswell, and they are all awesome. Great Job!

Story:
After being dissapointed of the short Just Cause 2 story, I was not expecting any better story in Just Cause 3. Right now, I have played for 28 hours, and I have still not finished the story. You have a lot to do, which include random side quests and missions, aswell as tasks to do before unlocking missions. They have really put a lot of new activities to the game, like new challenges and races, and a brand new way of aquiring vehicles and weapons. You no longer have to wait for that annoying guy in the chopper (yay I guess).

That was the most important good things to include, but I should also comment on the few things that I did not like. These are the major problems:

* The AI is bad, and cars keep driving off bridges that I just exploded. Not much better than GTA though :)
* Bases are too easy to capture. I want a more challenging way of doing it.
* Had problems where sometimes in missions, music was not playing during intense scenes. Just a quick restart to fix it though.
* Game crashed once, but I have not seen it again.
* I have to get used to a whole new key setup. I guess it is better for the game, and I could change it back, but you learn it quickly.
*The volcano island and the hidden island in the bottom left was empty. I was left with a huge dissapointment after just finding ruins and a racecar. The hidden/isolated island in JC2 had much more awesome features, where you could not fly in. Could be improved.
* I love military bases, but the map could have a bit more of cities, as the biggest island consists mostly of no cities and civilian people. Not even villlages or farms.
* No big airports other than military airports

Otherwise, the game is amazing. I love it, and I hope you do aswell! :) Vive la revolution!

I was expecting another boring and rebranded version of Call of Duty. After entering the future, the last Call of Duty games have turned into overpriced budget games with short stories and the same ♥♥♥♥ physics in multiplayer. This game has the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ multiplayer physics, but somehow I enjoyed playing it. Killing people was actually a lot more fun! The best part of the game however, is the story. It's long and exciting, and I enjoyed every piece of it. You can also play it with friends, which is amazing. Objectives, Achievements and Collectibles makes the game more exciting aswell! The zombies is fun aswell, but they could really add more maps. I'm bored of the same map all the time.

The game is not stable, but I do believe they will fix it later. I have a powerful enough PC to almost run it on full settings, and that's good enough for me. The keyboard bindings are weird, and they sometimes reset or unbind all my saved keys. The most annoying problem so far, is the graphics settings. Whenever I press ALT + TAB, the game changes from Fullscreen to Windowed. This is very annoying, and the game itself sometimes start up in windowed mode. I have also had a crash at the end of a story mission, but that only occured once.

After playing through SOMA, these are my thoughs:

I bought the game, expecting a horrific and scary horror game. I hoped it to be as good as Amnesia: The dark decent. Unfortunately, Amnesia is not the best horror game I have played anymore. SOMA has beautiful graphics, scary moments, puzzles, and what I liked the most, A fantastic story. I felt like I was in the game when playing as Simon (which made it seem even more real because that's my name real name). Frictional Games managed to create a scary environment, just like in Amnesia. I noticed that many of the scenes were similar to Amnesia, and just as scary. I have heard many people say Amnesia is scarier, but in my opinion, this game is just as scary, except possibly the environment. Being in a futuristic underwater base might not sound as scary as being in a dark old castle, but Frictional Game managed to do this well.

PROS:

-The Story is beautiful.
-The graphics look amazing.
-Basically everything I said above.
-Stable game with very little lag.
-Fun and exciting puzzles. I was not bored for a minute.
-Effects and realism, even though it's futuristic.

CONS:

-Had issues with fullscreen and VSync. Game ran at 30FPS. Managed to fix with Borderless window and VSync off. (Had no screen tearing).
-When entering a base, the game stops running for a few seconds, probably just to load the base. The game crashed twice because of this. Not a huge issue because of autosave.

That's my summary of the game. The only cons are optimalization issues, but they werent much of a problem. The game itself is quite stable, and a medium good computer should be able to run it well. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. If you're thinking of buying a horror game, this is definitely the one for you. Thanks for your attention, and have a nice day!

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 2 is like all the other recent Call of Duty games. I downloaded 11GB just to play Black Ops 2 with wall jumping and jetpacks. Played it for a few minutes, and it literally is Black Ops 2 with new textures and weapons. I would more like to see this game as a DLC for Black Ops 2, and even then I wouldnt buy it. Call of Duty is the same each year. they start with the previous game, change text files, make a few maps and then a new story. I just wish the developers would listen to their players, because I have never seen a single soul that wants this future crap.

Please, Call of Duty people, go back to the good old days with World War 2 to Modern War based games. They were at least original.

To anyone wondering if this download is worth it, the answer is NO. Do NOT download it, and do NOT buy it. If nobody buys the game, maybe we can show the developers that they are going too far with this future ♥♥♥♥. This is my opinion, thanks.

Played it for a short bit, and I did enjoy it. I just play farming games when I am bored, and this game has entertained me. I can list the few things that annoyed me in the game:

- Screen flashes after the entering/exiting a vehicle animation.
- The graphics are a bit sharp, and can be a bit uncomfortable (had no other way of explaining it).
- After exiting a vehicle, you suddendly active superpowers that allows you to push every vehicle for several metres.
- Low framerate, but I do not really notice it in this game. To be honest, you could play this game in 30fps without trouble.
- A few glitches that are less annoying, because they do not affect gameplay (too much)

That was it. I would also like to include what makes this game good:

- The groundwork. Plowing has been made awesome.
- Rear cam in every vehicle. This is awesome even though I play in third person.
- Lost of activities, like fruit harvesting.
- Exciting music.
- Fruit harvesting.
- Improved a lot since the previous game (same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ engine though).
- More animals, even though they just make the game lag.
- You have to go to a store to buy wheat, and come back when you are empty.
- The lvl and repairing stuff. I like that.

My conclusion is: The game is not quite finished yet, and it still needs a lot of work. It has some better bits than Farming Simulator, and some worse. It is definitely not worth the cash, but if you have some money that you don't know what to use for, and you enjoy farming simulators, I would go for it. It's very glitchy, but it does not affect gameplay too much. I wouldn't say that the game is better than Farming Simulator, but it has some better parts. Thanks for reading, and remember:

If you aren't able to play the game because it won't start or your pc is too weak, don't post a negative review. That is like posting a negative review of a book that you are unable to read. Thanks for your attention! *flies away*

I bought this DLC because it looked like the most awesome thing ever. After a few minutes of playtime, I realised I was right! The landscape is amazing, and driving through Norway's E134 road is the first priority. Would like to see a little bit of that white stuff, the lovely snow, however the terrain looks good without!

Early Access Review
I got to play it like 5 times before I got a blackscreen on EVERY startup. I was going to give thumbs down, but of course it's still in development, so I decided to give it a chance. I have no idea on how to fix the issue, and I really want to play SNOW! It's a great open world ski game, but you should wait for a full release before buying it!

If you like first person shooters and realistic military campain, this is definitely the game for you. It contains all sorts of gamemodes and missions. And custom gamemodes on servers. (Roleplay, Team Deathmatch, etc.
