HELLDIVERS 2 is a fantastic game, and I am no longer pained to leave a negative review.

Gameplay-, style-, sound design-, etc-wise THE. GAME. IS. GOOD.
Everything from the gunplay to enemy mechanics feels like it has had passion OOZED into it, which the gaming industry has been sorely lacking from.

From the 6th of May, only months after launch, it was announced the game will require you to create or link to a PSN account. However, SONY decided to roll back this decision due to massive community backlash.

Unless the rollback of PSN linkage is reverted, I will continue singing this game's praises.

Back when the game was being marketed and revealed, BF4 had caught my full attention and sucked me back into it's gameplay. So when I saw the trailer I was very excited, the setting had potential and the game looked bigger, better and with the amount of marketing being laid down it felt like it was going to be full of content.

Cut to the realization, the game first premiers as a buggy beta and the complaints start to mount. I realize that this might not be the game I thought it would, once again I prayed EA wouldn't ruin another franchise and I waited until full release to form my opinion. After full release the only thing that had mainly changed was the amount of bugs. I watched a few reviews and decided that it wasn't worth 60£. Then along comes the free weekend & the sale, most likely EA's damage control to everyone's reaction by immediately dropping the price after the fanboys have bought on release.

So I thought I had to download it and try it for myself.

The reviews are right, it wasn't worth 40GB on my drive and let alone the time spent waiting for it to finish downloading. In the scope of a Battlefield game, It's atrocious. Without comparing it to it's legacy, it's okay at best. The environments look good when the textures finally uncompress, the vehicle designs are cool I guess.

Titanfall 2 checks almost every box for me, the campaign hits the sweet spot of replayability and length with an enjoyable story that has had comming back over and over. The multiplayer, despite recent connectivity issues, could have me hooked from dawn til' dusk with a flow I have yet to see in any other game. Titanfall 2 is truly a criminally underrated game and it's sad to see that EA are letting the servers go into disrepair as queueing for a match is now easily one of the most frustrating parts of the game, which in-and-of-itself is a testament to the addictive nature of TF│2's gameplay.

However, Titanfall 1 & 2 has recently come under the attack of a group of hackers rendering the game borderline unplayable for long periods of time. As much as I would like to encourage you to buy this diamond in the rough, for now I would abstain from purchase until Replay fixes these issues.

10/10

would have my Commanders butthole widened by Racketeers again

very good

And I thought BONEWORKS was the pinnacle...

One of the best games I've played this decade.

Boneworks is one of the greatest combinations of game mechanics, story, gameplay, and music I've seen in a LONG time.
Not only that but Boneworks is a groundbreaker, a forefront in its genre, VR gaming.
I think Brandon and his team at Stress Level Zero have done a fantastic job, as well as Micheal Wyckoff for one of the most fitting and groovy OSTs out there.
Man i can't wait for the nostalgia trip in 15 years...

Pros:
-Amazing gameplay mechanics
-Jaw dropping atmosphere
-Fantastical OST that helps the whole Jaw-dropping
-Fun Story with hours of content
-Extra gamemodes such as sandbox and arena for re-playability
-Weapon collection system which encourages exploration of the fine crafted levels.
-ONLY DRINK ULTRAMERSION

Cons:
-Levels are sparse in checkpoints, this only becomes a problem after extensive use. (The game is addictive)
-When you die the level reverts to the last checkpoint with the weapons in your inventory and drops the weapons that where in your hands. You can loose crucial level equipment by dying and having to play through the level again without it. An example would be the flashlight in the sewer level.

Really the only bad things with the game can be avoided by the player but no game is perfect. This game however is nearing the point of perfection. The only issues i could find where more comfort than actual gameplay issues, though i'm sure other players have encountered issues along the way.

So everything considered.
10/10.
Yup.

One of the best RTS games i have ever played!
