Interesting story. The publisher has a variety of games that are in a sort of horror theme that are interesting. This one has a lot of well developed puzzles, and the story is pretty disturbing. Although the slow movement, tight cameras, and first person view are part of the atmosphere the game is trying to create, it may create issues for people who are uncomfortable in small, closed spaces.

A fun, but challenging single player mode that provides an entertaining reset story for the Mortal Kombat universe. There is plenty of unlockable content, which will give you access to alternate costumes, cheat codes, additional finishing moves for characters, concept art, and music that you can listen in a gallery mode. The only negative I have is that the online play is pretty dead now. If you want to play online with others, you're better off getting the newest iteration in the series. However, there is always the option to play local multiplayer with up to 3 other players if you're into that.

It's a good game, and it changes depending on which type of weapon you're using. The grind starts to pick up after the first few zones, but the main story is somewhat interesting. A new expansion is coming up, so this is a good time to get familiar with the systems within the game since it will likely pick up with activity. There are always plenty of people to help if you get stuck on a hunt as well.

Elder Scrolls Online is a fantastic game that I've enjoyed since 2015. I've found that the content keeps getting better with each expansion. My recommendation is for you to start off with the base game content and work your way through that. You'll find ties in the base game's storyline within Morrowind and Summerset. I wasn't as enthusiastic about the DLC content, but the benefits with the subscription give you access to those without any additional cost.

I have recently started playing all of the Final Fantasy games in order from the start of the series. Until Final Fantasy IV, I hadn't finished any of the previous iterations. I suggest that if you haven't played a Final Fantasy game in the past but you'd like to look back on the history of the series, this may be the best game for you to start playing. The previous games, even their modern ports, did not age well.

I thought the story was interesting, and over the course of the game I felt a connection with the characters. I put in a little over 20 hours and managed to complete everything I wanted out of it.

There were issues with this port. There are times during combat that the game will visibly slow down. Some of the tile work doesn't line up correctly when navigating through areas. I noticed in some of the dialog bubbles there would be weird pixels at the end of each line of text.

My only complaint is that the random battles toward the end of the game through very large dungeons started to wear me down. Instead of being filled with interesting content, the game dragged on with a very large dungeon. However, the game ending was definitely worth it to see and I finished the game feeling it was a high note.

There is a ton of content in this game, and I definitely didn't touch on all of it. The side quests are interesting in this iteration of Fallout, but most do not have a story as engaging as the main storyline.

Companions are improved with this game, and they are actually helpful. Most of the time they weren't annoying, and there are several companion options available. There are even romance options if you're interested in that.

I didn't like the way the perk system was handled. It's a huge poster that was annoying to navigate with a keyboard and mouse. The inventory system is pretty horrid in this game, and I really wish Bethesda would spend some time working on a better UI design for their games.

I hated the repeatable quests. This was especially annoying with one faction in particular, where I would repeatedly get quests for them that simply weren't interesting. Go defend here, go clear this area on another part of the map that really isn't anywhere close to us but it affects us. If you don't complete them in sufficient time, they also expire and fail with consequences.

There are multiple endings to the game, and the game makes it pretty obvious when you commit to one path. It'll take a few hours commitment to fully explore each route to the end, but each ending was pretty rewarding.

You can keep playing after you complete the main storyline.

There are lots of mods already available for the game that will definitely help with day-to-day activities. Check out nexusmod when you get started to grab a few of the popular ones.

Beautiful game and a great story. The DLC enriches it further and is necessary to get the entire story.

A surprisingly engaging story. The open world aspects are very interesting and engaging. The world really seems alive, and the graphics really come alive at night when the rain is coming down. The combat was great as well, and there was plenty to do even outside of the main storyline. If you can grab the updated version with additional content and upgraded graphics, it'll be even better.

I had fun with this game for a bit. You can greatly customize your character while playing, both in appearance and with the weapons and skills you use to play the game. Unfortunately, I reached a point where I wasn't able to advance any further while soloing. I wasn't interested in raiding or doing dungeons, so the MMORPG aspect of the game wasn't a big draw for me. I still had fun while I played, though, and it reminded me of some aspects of Anarchy Online.
