I've been eyeing Assassin's Creed Shadows for ages, and snagging it on sale was one of my best decisions, no regrets at all. Among the recent AC titles, this one's easily one of the top contenders for me. The story clocks in at a solid 7/10; it's engaging without being overly groundbreaking, but the narrative pacing keeps you hooked through the twists of feudal Japan.
Graphically, it's a jaw dropper, breathtaking vistas, intricate details in every shrine and village, and dynamic weather that makes the world feel alive and immersive. The stealth mechanics are the deepest in the series yet, blending classic AC tension with innovative tools like smoke bombs and disguises, while those revamped executions, brutal, cinematic, and oh so satisfying, nail the signature assassin flair. Combat is a thrill ride: visceral swordplay that's challenging yet fair, with parry timings and combo chains that reward skill and keep fights feeling fresh and intense. And that feudal Japan vibe? Pure magic, the cherry blossoms, misty mountains, and cultural depth create an atmosphere I can't get enough of, from rooftop parkour across tiled roofs to seamless blending into crowds.
Exploration is a standout, with hidden tombs, dynamic events, and a massive open world packed with side activities that easily stretch playtime beyond 150 hours without feeling bloated. Switching between protagonists Naoe and Yasuke adds killer variety, her agile shinobi runs versus his tanky samurai charges let you tackle missions your way, and building out your personal hideout is a fresh, addictive layer of progression no other AC has nailed like this. Little joys like petting adorable pups and cats in villages or uncovering folklore inspired lore just amp up the charm, making every corner feel rewarding.

I've been eagerly awaiting Blue Protocol: Star Resonance since its announcement, and it was absolutely worth the wait. This anime inspired MMO RPG delivers a stunning, light hearted world that's bursting with vibrant visuals and endearing characters that pull you right in. The combat is a highlight, fast paced, synergistic skills that reward precise dodging and counterattacks, especially in melee, making every fight feel dynamic and fun. Dungeons, daily/weekly quests, and epic boss battles keep things engaging without feeling grindy, and the exploration shines with smooth flying sequences and delightful touches like pettable dogs.
Monetization is refreshingly fair: it's mostly cosmetic focused with optional skins and outfits, and everything else, from gear to progression, is fully farmable for free. Minimal P2W elements exist but don't create any real imbalance between F2P and spenders. The story is solid and paced nicely (no speedrun vibes), though the time gaps can feel a bit jarring, still, it's enjoyable with lovable NPCs like the hilarious Airona stealing scenes. Plus, the beautiful soundtrack and deep customization (expansive wardrobes, accessories, and a genius gear refining system) let you craft a truly unique avatar. With eight diverse classes across roles and specs, there's endless replayability.
Overall, it's a blast, highly recommend diving in, especially if you love anime MMOs. Fingers crossed for those upcoming updates; I'm hooked!

Yo, fellow Naruto die hards!
Look, I'm a massive fan. I've scooped up every single Storm game out there (yep, even that mess called Shinobi Striker, which they totally botched, RIP).
This one's got that classic Storm vibe: buttery smooth fights, epic jutsus flying everywhere, and a story mode that basically speed runs the entire manga/anime saga from start to finish in game form.
Prologues, character backstories getting dusted off for that sweet nostalgia hit.
It's like binge watching the series but with your thumbs doing the work.
If you're craving a full Naruto/Boruto lore dump with all the emotional gut punches and "remember when" moments, this delivers hard.
But here's the tea: IT'S NOT WORTH THE FULL $60 PRICE TAG, STRAIGHT UP. C'mon, Bandai Namco, don't play us like that.
Yeah, it's cool they've crammed every past Storm story into one massive package, but where's the love for all those OG characters and classic costumes?
Feels half baked without 'em. For casual fans, 20€ is spot on fair; us obsessives might stretch to 30€ 'cause, duh, Naruto's a legendary brand.
Anything over that?
Nah, save your wallet for ramen.
Don't get me wrong.
The gameplay's solid, no major gripes there.
But man, I missed the open world village hopping from the older Storms.
No more chilling in Konoha, raiding shops, or side questing like a true shinobi slacker.
It's all linear: prologue, smash some fools, repeat.
Loved the idea of this being the "final" Storm entry, but I'd have killed for that kid Naruto scampering around the village, then flash forward to adult Hokage Naruto strutting his stuff.
Would've been chef's kiss.
Bottom line: If you're all about open world vibes, side missions, and free roam fun, skip this and replay Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. But if you wanna relive the whole epic from genin days to god tier battles with a side of feels? Grab it on sale or during a Steam deal.
Weebs. 8/10 for the heart.
Dattebayo!

Overwatch 2 is an absolute blast and a fantastic game for anyone looking for fast-paced, team-based action! The vibrant heroes, dynamic gameplay, and stunning visuals make every match feel fresh and exciting. What really stands out for me is the surprisingly positive community. I rarely encounter cheaters or toxic players, which makes the experience so much more enjoyable. When I do come across someone disruptive, the reporting system is incredibly effective—most of the time, I get a notification the same day or the next that the reported player has been punished, which shows Blizzard is serious about keeping the game fair.The community is a huge reason why I’d recommend Overwatch 2 to everyone. It’s such a refreshing escape from the toxicity you sometimes find in other online games. You can jump in, have fun, and actually enjoy your time with others. Sure, ranked (competitive) mode can be more intense, but even there, players are generally decent and cooperative. If someone does act out, a quick report usually takes care of it, and you’ll see results fast. Whether you’re a casual or competitive player, Overwatch 2 offers a welcoming and thrilling experience that’s hard to beat!

Okay, so first of all, dbd is a unique game in this category in my oponion.
I like dbd, and i only give a negative review beacuse of the community toxicity and the developers no reaction and solving asap this huge problem.
So first of all, dbd is a fun game both in killer and surv side if u didn't get toxic players who talkin ♥♥♥♥♥ on end game chat, or bein toxic in the game.
And no boys and girl, im not talkin bout tunnel and campin beacuse its game mechanic.
I talkin bout sluging ( and not sluging for 4k in the endgame), killing 4 players and leave them on the floor to bleed out is crazy, and whats even more crazy its acceptable in the developers side.
Yeah they solved this problem with the " u can abandon" the match, get less reward and exp.
So if u get toxic players, who didn't do anything wrong in the dev mind, u can just leave the match but u still get penalty for gettin less reward...
And lets talk about toxic streamers and survs not just killers.
Ppl non stop tbaging, emoting, waiting for u in the exit door, non stop jumping of vaults or pallets if u didn't go there... like bro. And even better, if they flash u in the exit door.
I like this game, and i love playing with it, but when i got ppl like this in a row, i just quit and play sometin else instend.
The endgame chat in the game is crazy ngl. Ppl talkin ♥♥♥♥ for no reason beacuse they just can't lose.
If i can say gg after 500 hours, and still can accept if someone is better than me, why half of the community not?
Like cmon man, if u lose, don't say in endgame chat get better, or don't do this or this, like bro, u bad, u just losed, get better or if u can't say sometin reasonable just shut up..
Honestly, devs should do sometin about this community, dbd is really bad state becuse of this sick ppl playin the game...
And the fact, ppl have the mentality to go play the game, and when they realize they don't like the map or the killer just quit the match or just kill themselfs and go to another match and if it still not good for them, they do this on repeat.
I got ppl quting early and mid game both surv and killer side, like please ban these ppl out of this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.
Like u don't like when a killer kill u if u r a survivor, but if u loop the killer u didn't leave...
Or if a survivor loop u, quit instantly, but if u kill a survivour u not quit.
I play both surv and killer, i never quited a single game expect when i got slugged and didn't wait until all of us bleed out.

Actually not that bad.
For the price i have to say its have a good amount of content.
If u like chill games when u just doin stuff and upgrading and u like to mix this category with horror stuff then here u go.
The gameplay actually based but u can have fun with it.
The grinding and upgrading stuff is cool i have to say.
The HP is your cat happiness is funny asf lol

Simple and well configurable.
Lots of wallpapers to choose from in almost every style.
And you can even make your own wallpaper easily and simply.
The search filter is also really useful!
It's definitely worth the price!

Compared to an Early Access game, I think they did it very well!
I didn't encounter any bugs and errors, I think this is a very good sign!
Atmospheric, well-developed great gameplay!
It requires a little logic, so at first I recommend everyone the easy way to learn the game.
I think the game provides great relaxation, I really like it!
During the first game, I immediately put 5 hours into it, so the time flew by.
I really like the graphics and colors of the game, and I think the concept and implementation are good too!
It is well optimized, I had no problems with it.
If you like city building / management games, I think you should try it.
Oh, and the beavers are very cute! :D
I recommend it to everyone!

Spectacular, atmospheric.
The gameplay is simple but very atmospheric, I can't tell you, you have to try this!
Pyramids and lots of loot, lots of craftable / unlockable things.
You can climb trees, you can pick fruits.
Oasis are something amazingly cozy in the middle of sand mountains and deserts.
Different bugs and animals that are either dangerous or not.
I really like how much content there is in the game, yet how simple it is.
If you like survival games and haven't played this game yet, I definitely recommend it!
There was no problem with optimization either, the game runs exceptionally well!
There are Sand Storms in the game, which, for example, blow away or damage the torch in your hand, the game can be damn atmospheric!
There are traps in the pyramids that you need to watch out for.
I can definitely recommend it!

I used to play it a lot, it's still available on disc. But I also bought it on Steam.
This game is more famous for the multiplayer / PVP part, although I haven't really played this part of the game.
I played Story a lot and really enjoyed it.
Considering its age, I think we are talking about a very good game, with exciting battles, maps, enemies and story.
If you like STAR WARS and haven't played the game yet, it's a must-have.
I can recommend it!
