A great spin on the extraction shooter genre. The ARC robots are great AI enemies that are actually fun and challenging to fight. PvP is fun, with a nice variation in guns, grenades and more giving you plenty of ways to go about fighting people and ARC. I especially like the base upgrading and levelling aspect, giving you something permanent to work towards. Unlike many other games, crafting is very viable and often times the best way to get your gear upgraded. The community is pretty great as well, you can usually talk yourself out of a sticky PvP situation thanks to the great addition of proximity chat and emotes with voice call-outs.

Overall a game that I recommend to anyone even slightly interested in the premise of an extraction shooter!

One of the best MMORPG's ever. The combat is very fun and varied between the different classes and subclasses, great horizontal progression, loads of different types of content, many, many zones to explore and a decent story. It also really respects your time, there's no huge grinds or gear treadmill to worry about, just have fun and go at your own pace.

The game should run on any low-mid range PC and it's great on the steam deck too!

A good game, but unfortunately the 6v6 multiplayer is ruined by Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM). SBMM causes a lot of unbalanced games, and prioritizes 'skill' over connection quality. Most lobbies end with one team dominating heavily, and with teams being insanely unbalanced. You are also punished for playing well, every good game is followed by at least 2-3 games where you're matched with lower skill-level players on your team, whilst you have to fight higher skill-level players on the enemy team.

Great game where you can fight and/or sneak your way through open levels that leave a lot up to the player to decide. The gun play is very satisfying and every gun feels unique and has it's own mastery challenges. The maps are quite big, and each and every one of them feels quite unique. And there's a lot of secondary objectives and achievements to keep you busy for quite a while.

It's also nice to see that the difficulty levels are quite well implemented. Authentic Plus (The highest difficulty) is a real challenge without enemies feeling like bullet-sponges like you would often see in other games.

Great story and world, and the graphics are good. But the game has a lot of bugs, most of them aren't gamebreaking but they do break your immersion, such as cars/pedestrians spawning in/out very obviously and way too quickly.

RuneScape has been a staple among fantasy MMORPG's for many years, offering gameplay that simply isn't found anywhere else. Some mechanics and content can be quite dated, but that's to be expected for a 20+ year old game. Overall it's a great game, with thousands of hours of content in skills, quests, bosses and more.

Simply one of the best team-based military shooters around. Teamwork and communication is essential, unlike most other shooters you will find today.

Large selection of maps and gamemodes, graphics are decent enough, and performance is acceptable and has seriously improved over the past few patches.

Might be hard to get into at first, but it's worth it!

This game improves upon the formula established with Hitman 1, creating large and beautiful environments with lots of creative and fun ways to assassinate your targets.

Great game, horizons expansion and update 2.1 really brought some well needed life and background story into the elite dangerous universe.

Prepare to spend countless hours to get into the mechanics etc.

Without a doubt one of my favorite games of the year. The main story isn't the best, but the rest of the game makes up for it.

Lots of things to do, great gunplay, awesome quests and locations, atmosphere, large modding community, etc etc.

Just beware that the game can be buggy at times, but I have not personally encountered any gamebreaking bugs.
