If you're considering getting this game, you're probably one of 3 people. You may be a newcomer, you may have started with the more modern games like world or rise, or you might be a long veteran of the series playing since classic monster hunter.

If you are a newcomer, this might be the best game in the series for you. Most of the "meat" of the game is seen through the games story, which means casual gamers or people wanting a stronger initial impression of the series will be in for a really good time.
If you are a world/rise player, this game will probably have some problems for you in terms of difficulty (high rank difficulty is even easier than world at launch currently), but will overall feel smoother and more engaging with the barrage of new weapon mechanics and unique monster designs.
If you are a long time veteran, you've seen this pattern with monster hunter games for long enough that you know the formula. You know the type of experience that you're getting with these games and this is absolutely one of the best feeling ones. You might tear through the content kind of quickly, which was definitely a problem I had, but so many weapons feel great to play in this entry that its pretty hard to get bored.

Monster Hunter Wilds is an exceptional step forward in the Monster Hunter franchise and the sales/player numbers prove it. This game serves as the strongest foundation the series has yet, and I have no doubt that future title updates and G/Master rank dlc will give us some really juicy content. There are definitely significant problems with difficulty, endgame grind, and performance, but each and every one of those will get better over time no doubt. Deserves your $70.

Assuming that your rig can handle this game, which with the specs and hardware available right now is a difficult thing to ask, this game is absolutely fantastic. As a total junkie for the Cyberpunk theme and genre of games, this game, despite community criticisms, is a dream come true.

Spectacular DLC, with constant content every week to avoid burnout, and one of my favorite raids to date. Such a killer DLC for lore especially, and the first chapter towards the "Darkness Trilogy" of DLCs. If you're getting into Destiny, you basically have to own this.

A lot of the negative reviews are about vaulted content, but it's important to recognize that the planets will be coming back in a revamped and more next-gen form. That combined with the fact that Destiny is now more of an MMO than ever, things like this aren't that uncommon. Yeah, it sucks that I can't do the old raids, but I'd gladly temporarily give up planets like Io which had no content in order to make the game more accessible.

DO NOT SKIP THIS GAME

Coming from somebody who's played a LOT of Beat Saber, I prefer the gameplay of Audica. Yes, hitting blocks in Beat Saber is more fun then shooting targets at a lower level, but at their highest level, Audica has MUCH more to offer in flare, complexity, and satisfying gameplay. It's seriously such a shame that this game is overshadowed by its peers in the VR Rhythm genre, with a larger community making custom songs, this game could've been a hit.

This game is spectacular. Gameplay is exactly what I'm looking for, with the parkour feeling quite similar to titanfall, and the one shot kill sword play is the perfect way to make killing satisfying at high speeds. Enemies have different strengths and weaknesses so you wont be able to get away with the same strategies on every area. Visuals are straight up eye-candy in almost every area, checkpoints are fair, lots of build customization to play with (deflection/blink build for some real fun), collectibles, and so much more. Love the fact that this game encourages self improvement by displaying your best times and deaths.
Despite the game's VERY high highs, this game definitely has some flaws. Some of the later game enemies have confusing mechanics that seem to only be counterable in very specific situations. On top of this, jumping of off certain walls or jump platforms blatantly did not work sometimes, maybe not sending me as far as I should have gone (Last area makes this apparent)

TLDR: Shortcomings are far and few between. If you like games with a cyberpunk aesthetic, like the gameplay of Katana Zero, Shadow Warrior, Titanfall, Mirrors Edge, or just wanna feel like an absolute badass for 6 hours, this game is a must buy. In my opinion, worth the 30 dollars for the quality you can get out of it, but given how long a single playthrough is, I wouldn't argue if somebody wanted to wait for the game to drop to 20 bucks.

Warframe isn't a game for everybody, but if you find that it's for you, it's impossible to put down. It's overwhelming for new players, and much of the game relies on grinding, which means doing the same activities over and over again. However, what you get in return is an extremely satisfying movement system/gameplay, a massive arsenal of weapons and classes, a super deep modding system, a massive amount of content to experience with items in each activity to incentivize playing them, as well as one of the most helpful and friendly communities in gaming. Warframe is bold in it's design, and the developers are never shy to take risks, changing massive parts of the game. If you really take the time to learn the basic systems of the game and push through past the intro planets, you'll be greatly rewarded. Highly recommend this title especially since it is 100% FREE.

Honestly, a more enjoyable RPG experience than Pokemon Sword and Shield

Fun side effect, I know Japanese now.
