After 900+ hours of playing WH3 on and off since it's release, I can safely say that Warhammer 3 is a fine game. A very solid 7/10.

Positives:
The immortal empires campaign is far more epic than ever.
The sheer variety of factions gives way to almost endless replay value.
Events in game seem to have more impact on your campaign.
Numerous endgame scenarios are a nice touch.


My biggest issues with the game are the following:

The AI is extremely bi-polar and greedy. The AI wants you to go war with their enemies or they break an alliance with you. However, if you go to war or get war declared on you, there is a 90% chance that your AI ally will decline your request with aid even if you have great relations with them. It's broken and needs to be fixed asap. It would make total sense for Skaven, Vampire Coast or Vampire Count factions to betray since that's very lore accurate but to have every faction do that is nonsense. Oh, and the fact that a faction that I forced into becoming my vassal should never be allowed to say no at anytime.

Outside the Chaos Dwarf DLC (which has hefty price tag so buy it during a Steam Sale), the DLC for Warhammer 3 is VERY underwhelming. The Ogre Kingdoms, which was a faction that I've been wanting to play since WH2, got boring way too fast. Why can't Goldtooth bribe other Ogre factions into joining him like how Slaanesh heroes can seduce units and factions? The Champion of Chaos DLC makes no sense to me. Why add more heroes to the Warriors of Chaos faction when the mono-chaos god factions each need a new hero? The Shadows of Change DLC not only has a hefty price tag too but has two heroes no one asked for. Fans of this series have been craving overhauls for Dwarf, Empire and Norsca for years now. Instead, we get a DLC that has an overpowered hero for Cathay (a faction that most players lost interest in) and a witch character that is relocated on the other side of the world near the Dark Elves for some reason. The Changeling seems cool but his main target is the Empire and not in the East. The Chaos Dwarf DLC is extremely fun and I've done numerous campaigns with the grumpy dorks but it's not worth the full price.

Oh and of course, siege battles still suck. Unless you are Chaos Dwarfs but even then, it gets tedious.

Despite my complaints, I did put 900+ hours so this game as of this review. In many ways, it's both a step down from Warhammer 2 in terms of quality content but a step up in terms of replay value.

This is a combo between the old Dune RTS games (Dune 2, Dune 2000 and Emperor: Battle for Dune) and Civilization. Not only do you have to manage your resources, but you also have to take part in the political game in order to get bonuses. I do like the game focuses on infantry combat.

My only two complaints are:
The AI cheats. It's insane how quick the AI can expand within the first 15 minutes and have more resources. It's horribly unbalanced and the AI always seems to team up on you which is also annoying.

The political system is a bit random. It's hard to properly play the political game when the AI is just random gonna choose random things. I also find it hard that the Bene Gesserit barely play a role. House Escaz is such a strange choice and I would replace them with the Bene Gesserit as a playable faction. At the very least, make them part of the politic game where getting favor with them grants some really good bonuses.


Other than that, the game is really solid, addicting and I will easily be dumping WAY more hours in the future.

Command and Conquer Remastered is not only a nice trip down memory lane, but it is also the best remaster ever made. While there are some issues that need to be fixed ASAP, this remaster is perfect for both new and old fans alike. If you love RTS games this is a must!

This is the best Total War game I have played since Shogun 2. It's brutal and challenging yet so supremely satisfying. This is a must for Total War fans or fans of grim fantasy.

Mortal Kombat 11 is a very fun game with great DLC and is packed with enough kontent to keep you busy for awhile. The whole game feels like a celebration of 30 years of Mortal Kombat while also taking cues from comic book films like Infinity War and Deadpool to a lesser extent. While I am not a big fan of the story or the changes to the lore, I still recommend this if you are a fan of Mortal Kombat.

Darkest Dungeon is one of the most punishing games I have ever played. Even with mods, this game is sadistic and losing legendary heroes hurts. While I do enjoy this game, it isn't for everyone. I can only recommend it to people who like dungeon crawlers, the works of HP Lovecraft, really dark satire, challenging gameplay and grim fantasy. If all of that or at least some of that is appealing to you, then this game is for you!

This is the best wrestling game I have played in almost a decade. Be warned, the controls take some time to learn and the timing can be really absurd at times. However, the customization is unbelievable and the fact that this game features multiple types of death matches is great! If you are a wrestling fan or a fan of retro gaming, get this! It's worth every penny!

Dark Souls 2 is often viewed as the "worst" in the Soulsbourne series, but I personally think it's very underrated. PVP and Co-Op is improved, all of the music tracks are memorable (love the Majula theme), dual wielding is great and the DLC is amazing. Not to mention this game is THE game to play for magic users and there is more customization so you can experiment to your liking. However, I do think this does suffer from too many enemies and lame bosses, the hitbox detection can be troublesome and the whole hollowing effect is stupid to me. While Dark Souls 1 is my favorite in the series and one of my favorite games of all time, Dark Souls 2 can be very fun game (most of the time).

One of the most original games I have played in years! Loved the music, the simple yet complex characters, the bleak setting and the world-building. One of the few games that I enjoyed completing. My biggest complaint is that I wish the game had more side-missions and more areas to explore. Buy this game and complete it, it's worth it!!

Dark Souls is one of the best RPGs ever made, if one of the best games period. With that said, the PC port of Dark Souls is a mess. Unless you get DSFix (which even then doesn't solve all of the problems this port has), be prepared to deal with framerate issues and odd glitches. On the flip side, you get the DLC for free. Overall, if you really want to play Dark Souls and don't want to deal with the problems of the PC port then get it for console. If you REALLLy want the PC port, wait for the remastered version.

Update: The remastered version is ok.
