Just get this game. It is insanely addicting.

Very cozy game. Definitely play this while sipping on a coffee or at night with a nice glass of your favorite bourbon. My only complaint is how short it is. Yes, you can theoretically replay this as many times as you want with different layouts, but I wish there were more locations. I'm hoping the devs will add more in the future or even challenges where you're required to use all items or forcing players to put specific pieces in specific areas or zones. Or maybe a mode where you get a set amount of random pieces from all locations combined. It would force players to think outside of the box. Regardless, I do recommend this game and hope the devs add more!

So I thought it was dumb that this was at the Game Awards and how it looked incredibly meh and super hyped up. However, after playing it I do think there is something here. It's a 3v3 raid shooter: you fortify your base, gather resources and gear in the world, and then assault the enemy base or defend yours. Are there hero shooter aspects? Yes. I think the maps are way too big for 3v3 even with you having a mount at your disposal. I would love to see this bumped up to a 4v4. I think the extra 2 players on the map could make a huge difference. I also think matches can be way too short. I get RTS vibes from the resource gathering, and it sucks you can't really upgrade your stuff that much before the game ends. Would love to see this be a best of 3 rounds situation. I do think this game is not optimized well at all. I am running a 5900x with a 5070 Ti and getting 80fps WITH DLSS turned on. Like wtf?

I got this game for $10 on Xbox a few months after it came out. I put over 200+ hours on it over the following 3 years with 2 playthroughs. Now I bought it on PC to do it again. It plays much better on PC, and compared to where the game was when it launched it's like a totally different game. Before, I'd stop and look around the city and see a janky mess. Now when I stop, I get enthralled by the city and what's happening. If you like 1st-person action games with RPG mechanics then this game is 100% for you. If you've never played it, do yourself a favor and go in blind. Then go watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners on Netflix.

NOTE: I have a brand new 5070 Ti. The game came with the purchase of my GPU.

The performance with this card using DLSS 4 is fantastic for me and my rig. The game occasionally stutters but it's very infrequent. Apart from technical issues for many other players with lower performing PC's, this game is truly fantastic. It feels like an evolution of BL2 with the gameplay feeling of BL3. I truly haven't been this hooked on a new game in a very long time.

In the last 24 hours of purchasing this game I have logged 8 hours. I repeat: I've owned the game for 24 hours and played for 8. This game is the definition of "just one more run." Addicting, easy to learn, hard to master, and very rewarding.

EDIT: After five months this game:
1. Still randomly crashes
2. Has ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Warzone servers

Allow verify game files THE GAME. The campaign is fun, the multiplayer is fun, and the co-op missions are fun. You know what's not fun? When the game decides to crash for no reason. Getting out of a vehicle? Crash. Getting hit by a stun grenade? Crash. Literally walking to the objective to capture it? You guessed it: crash. Every time it crashes is asks to verify game files and it doesn't fix anything. It's extremely aggravating especially when you are doing really well in a match. The servers are also still horrible after nearly five months. The amount of times I've DC'd from a Warzone match while entering the final few circles is unreal. I've lost count. So yes, I have a lot of hours on this game and got Orion. But that doesn't mean I'd recommend this game to a friend. It is so unstable.

Now that all games are released I can finally confirm that yes, this game is absolutely amazing on PC and the support 343i has poured into this game is fantastic. Let's hope Halo Infinite follows suit....

Take Two hates single player modes. Unbelievable. This game went from being GOTY to abosulte garbage. Shark Cards are cancerous, the online sucks, no single player DLC, and the no longer support single player mods.

I'm not typically a fan of these "do this then wait x amount of time for your work to pay off" type games. But damn is this game amazing. There is so much to do in Stardew Valley that I don't mind waiting for my crops to grow or for buildings to be build. There's a crafting system, level up system on some skills, farming, mining, fishing, foraging, and you can make friends and get married. There's so much more that I can't list everything. I highly recommend this game.
