This game must be experienced.

It's the greatest stealth action video game ever made.

Arena Breakout Infinite nails the fundamentals in a way a lot of extraction shooters don’t. The optimization is WAY better than Tarkov, which makes the whole experience smoother and way less frustrating. The faster-paced gameplay loop keeps things engaging without demanding weeks of time just to feel like you made some progress. You get in, make smart decisions, get into fights, extract, and it actually feels rewarding. Gunplay is solid and the risk-reward balance hits a nice middle ground between realism and fun. The biggest downside is the state of cosmetics, which are leaning more and more into goofy thirst-trap territory that clashes with the game’s otherwise realistic aesthetic. That said, it’s a free-to-play title from an Asian dev, so let’s be real, you knew some of that crap was coming. As long as it stays cosmetic, it’s easy to overlook, because overall this is a strong, well-optimized extraction shooter that does a lot right. Lot's of content and fun to be had here without spending a single cent.

Great

Elden Ring is a good game, but probably not a great one. It is certainly not a masterpiece or a 10/10, despite often being described as such. If you play beyond 15 hours, the wheels start to come off pretty quickly. I can appreciate what the developers have achieved with the game's massive and stunning map, but ultimately, it simply isn’t good enough to recommend—unlike FromSoft’s previous works. There’s more bad than good here, which is a shame because what’s good is amazing. No game is perfect, but Elden Ring doesn’t rise above its crippling faults enough to warrant a recommendation.

6.8/10

It's a nice nostalgia ride if you played these games as a kid. There is a lot to like here, but you will realize these games are best left in the past. Some clever boss fights totally ruined by the lack luster combat. The performance of this port is pretty bad too.

I started playing Realm of The Mad God a full 10 years ago, and I’m thrilled to say it’s just as captivating today as it was back then. This game has been a constant in my gaming life, and its blend of action-packed gameplay, pixel art charm, and cooperative multiplayer keeps me coming back year after year.

What I love most about Realm of The Mad God is its fast-paced, real-time combat combined with its unique permadeath mechanic. Every session is a new adventure, and the thrill of teaming up with other players to battle through dungeons and face off against epic bosses never gets old. The adrenaline rush of surviving intense encounters and the camaraderie with fellow adventurers are what make this game so special.

The new development team have done an amazing job maintaining and expanding the game over the years, adding new content and features that keep the experience fresh and engaging. The community is incredibly supportive and vibrant, making each play session feel like a shared adventure with friends.

If you’re looking for a game with endless replayability, a fantastic sense of community, and that nostalgic retro feel, Realm of The Mad God is a gem you shouldn’t miss. It’s been a decade of epic battles and unforgettable moments, and I’m looking forward to many more years of fun. Highly recommended!

The game's difficulty is a true test of your survival skills, but that's part of what makes it so rewarding. Every decision matters, and the thrill of scavenging for resources and fortifying your safehouse never gets old. The sense of accomplishment when you manage to survive another day or build a secure base is incredibly satisfying.

The modding community is also fantastic, adding endless replayability and customization. Whether you're into adding new features or tweaking gameplay mechanics, there's something for everyone.

If you're looking for a survival game that offers deep mechanics, a challenging experience, and a vast open world, Project Zomboid is a game you absolutely need to try. It's not just a game; it's a survival simulation that keeps you coming back for more. Highly recommend.

1 shot enemy attacks ruin the game
