Definitely rough around the edges and needs optimizing, but it's still leagues better than the Playabe Teaser.

Melee combat could be uproved on. Both targeting and dodges are janky, but I hope the final product has required polish in that matter. Also, some other things are clunky, like all the interact animations taking forever, some UI elements randomly not working, or pickables blending into environment despite outlines (I wish they made them glow like in the original game). Still, the the demo is kinda outdated, so I hope all the inconveniences will have been addressed in the end.

I was happy to re-meet Diego and definitely felt the vibe of the Colony again. I'm still cautious, but hopeful for the full release.

After over 10 years, this game still holds up pretty well in gameplay and graphics. The only thing that feels aged is the gunplay, but it's not a big issue since most of the time you're fighting kung-fu style.

There's just something about Sleeping Dogs' atmosphere that just sucks you in and does not want to let go. Perhaps it's the way they recreated 2010's Hong Kong that feels authentic and memorable, or just how good the general gameplay feels like.

It was pleasant to 100%. Collectibles are marked on map after certain missions so it's not a total chore, but I admit some achievement requriements are a little grindy.

And remember, a man who never eats pork buns is never a whole man.

If you are craving something like the old SWAT games, this is the game for you. It's fun both with friends and the AI squad in singleplayer. There's also tacticool fashion aspect if you are into that.

However this game may not be up your alley if you are easily triggered. They pulled no punches (where they could) when depicting the more heinous crimes.

I still would not give the game 1.0 mark at the moment though, more of 0.98. Mainly because of suspect AI plus some physics and evidence shenanigans, but thankfully devs seem responsive to player feedback.

As for the DLC, it just adds a bit more of the same, though don't expect more than the three extra levels it offers.

Good co-op game to play solo, with friends AND with randoms. It's a bargain even for the full price.

I'm trying to give this game another chance at the time of writing, but at the moment I cannot recommend it.

The game has long post-game loading times despite high-end PC and nothing seems to fix it.

Environment interaction is somehow even clunkier than in ArmA games, especially inside buildings. It's hard to lean through doorways properly and player's collision box feels too large at times. Jump/vault over animations and interactions feel stiff too.

Sound mixing is just horrible. If you turn the volume up so to hear footsteps around you, gunshots are deafening, basically tinnintus-inducing. If you turn it down to make guns bearable, you can barely hear any other environment sounds. Also, it's really hard to judge sounds' vertical direction, I find it hard to tell if a sound comes from above or below me.

Item shop has limited inventory, it only shows currently pushed deals. The only way to get other premium cosmetic items is through lootboxes and uninspiring craft system.

If you can, I recommend getting a wireless headsed for this. If you are fighting several opponents, it can get very intense and the cable can and will get in your way.

Overall the game is great fun and good stress reliever, however you may become horrified at the unspeakable cruelty you are capable of.

A tad bit rough around the edges, but the core is well made and still makes for a very enjoyable experience.

High-octane old-school neo-noir action shooter, double-powered with chronic painkiller overdose with a few liters of whiskey on the side.

For Honor lures you in with its art style and satisfying combat mechanics only to repeatedly punch you in the gut once you get used to them.

I'm a really calm guy, and decided to stop playing this in 2020 when I realized how tilted I was getting when playing. I decided to give For Honor another go recently, but nothing had improved.
You get dopamine hits after good parries, combos or a ganks only for that to be ruined by some technical issue. Although I have high-end PC and stable connection, the game suffers from random desyncs that make your parries, and sometimes even blocks not register, better yet, opponent's attack also can skip frames and become unreactable. Although rare, the worst moments are when you begin execution frames only to be suddenly hit back beacause, as it turns out, on opponent's side he managed to block your killing blow.

At some point, you just never know if you lost because of lack of skill, or if the game robbed you. This is just unacceptable in a game with such skill-based competitive gameplay structure.

The thumb down is for vanilla release which is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and should have never been released in this state.

I tried playing vanilla for a bit and everyone is right - this game absolutely needs mods to function properly, and if not for this reddit guide my money woulld've been wasted.

Skyrim VR is a lousy port that barely takes advantages of VR gear. It actually makes Skyrim experience worse than original flatscreen version, with unintuitive controls and graphical errors that make the game literal eyesore.

I am having fun only because I spent quite some time installing and configuring mods that fix many errors and add functionalities that are basically standard for VR games. Modding should be optional part of the experience, instead it's a chore that absolutely needs to be done before playing.
I cannot stress this enough: Skyrim VR should work better in out-of-the-box state.

However, when the modding is complete this is one of the best VR experiences I could've had, and yes, I can confidently say that even with just a few hours played.
