It's worth shoveling through the bugs at launch to play it. Most of the issues are resolved by reloading a quicksave. The gameplay is phenomenal and the sidequests have their own running stories alongside the main campaign much like Skyrim or any of the other Elder Scrolls games, Fallout etc. Cyberpunk 2077 has lots of gameplay elements taken from other RPGs in recent memory as well as classics.

There are a lot of ways to play in terms of combat and strategy, you can go guns blazing, stealthy like the Metal Gear Solid series, and hack your way through obstacles. Keanu Reeve's appearance in the game adds a lot to the story from what I've played so far. The driving feels really good as well, I've gotta say it feels a lot smoother than Grand Theft Auto although not as intricate as a racing game like Forza or a proper racing game.

In terms of performance, it's not ideal but given the sheer extravagance of the games visuals, it makes sense, this game really is pushing whats possible on last gen hardware, and truly is a next gen title graphically. I would advise to upgrade your hardware, if you're playing on anything more than a couple years old especially if you're already contemplating because the scenery really pops when you are able to crank the settings up high with ray-tracing.

If your PC meets the minimum spec you should expect to play the game on low, but it seems like this game really is asking for a 30/6000 series card if you really want to get the most out of the engine and I wouldn't recommend playing on anything lower than the system requirement shows. In my own testing it seems I can run the game on High or close to Ultra while maintaining 60 FPS at 1080p, sans ray-tracing with my R7 3700X & RTX 2070 Super. I'm sure CD Projekt Red will continue to improve the optimization of the title in the near future as well.

There's not much more to say aside from the fact that I'm really happy with what the title offers from what I've played, the game is really addicting, often keeping me up late past my bed time and that I'll surely get my 60 USD worth out of it and I'm sure you will too if you love RPGs, FPS or stealth games.

Early Access Review
I tried the original Dota Auto Chess arcade mode on Dota 2, never really got into it, there was almost as hard as Dota to get into when I tried it way back when it first started picking up popularity so I never really got into it. I tried this out when it came into Early Access for compendium owners and was really impressed. Since the first day this came out I could tell that they made so many improvements to the Auto Chess mod. I knew that they've still been updating that mod since I last played so I fired it up the other day and it's still kinda janky although with some improvements. But Underlords goes even further with all of it's QoL changes and such. Definitely worth giving this game a shot.

Terraria is a game chalk-full of adventure, having followed Redigits previous work I was informed that he was working on a new title through his YouTube channel. I was immediately interested to see that he was making a newer, larger, better game, that was going to have its own steam release in 2011.

I made my Steam account for this game alone. I stuck with it for a long time and played again after every update came out, It quickly sold over 1.6 million copies. To my suprise Redigit gave the news that he was working on a larger update to surpass the legacy of the already classic game. After this there was supposed to be over 1000 items in the game if my memory is right. The update added several changes to the game including colored lighting and a new hard mode that would be activated after defeating a new boss in the game.

Some time after (a year or so I believe) another large update came which added even more content and further expanded upon the ideas that came out with the previous large update along with the news that Redigit would no longer be working on Terraria updates because he was having a child.

He raised his child for a long enough for him to be able to concentrate on work and gave his fans hype as he was working on a large update to finalize terraria with more features and mechanics than ever before. 1.3 was released long after he began it as his time to work with the game was now limited as he had a child to take care of.

Terraria is one of the best selling indie games of all time, at the time of this posting having over 12 million copies sold. The game is well worth the money as the developers work hard and really earned all the money they made, you can really tell how much effort they put into it after playing 50 hours or so. Now we all wait for Terraria other world.

If you have not yet purchased a copy of Terraria I highly reccommend it as it is very easy to get into and is quite simple if you consider yourself to be a noob its well worth the low asking price of $10 but if your tight on money the only thing that waiting for a sale of $7.50, $5, or $2.50 will hinder is the proggress of your creation.

it's cool that it offers both japanese and english soundtracks but the menu looks very pixelated even though the resolution was set to my native, the game seems to be a sloppy port of what the mobile users got, I do understand that they can't make the game look better but thats no excuse to intentionally make the menus look like trash, the fact that I was running in 1680x1050 resolution doesn't help this if i ran it in 800x600 the only thing that would change is that it is in widescreen. However it is still Sonic CD which is great! it's a fun game that allows you to play the stages in three different forms including three different variations of the level music which is some of the best in a classic video game, they might have done a little revamping of it but its unlikely because 200mb of the game is just the intro and ending videos. Overall it's the same sonic CD which many of us have played in the 90s and early 2000s (thanks to Sonic Gems), not much has changed except the addition of a new menu, a couple of logos in the startup proccess, and the option to change the music to that of the original japanese release.

This game is interesting because you can download mods and gamemodes to fit into your game and then when you download a gamemode its like a completely different game you can also make your own mods if you are skilled in lua
