Awesome!

Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot was super fun for me. Well designed levels, good heist-themed story, awesome music and you can never have enough of Handsome Jack (and Moxxi!).

However, the other three were a disappointment for me.

Guns, Love, and Tentacles brings in Cthulu inspired gay-love story, but it was kind of boring for me.

Bounty of Blood is basically Borderalands in the Wild Wild West with dinosaur-riding bandits. Again, story felt weak and music was honestly so monotonous it felt almost as playing a 1980's game.

And lastly Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck, a a crazy trip full of strangeness through the mind of a psycho. At this point I was so tired with this game I just wished it would end quick. And it did. Very short DLC.

As far as I remember, I had much better time with BL2 Season Pass.

Much improved gameplay, but not even close to Borderlands 2 in terms of storytelling, music, dialogues and in-game jokes.

The best Telltale game to date, greatly written story and characters, lots of hilarious moments.

It was fun for a first few hours, but the more you play it, the more you feel like controlling an NPC mob that only one job is to run at the enemy, deal some damage, maybe kill someone and die, rince and repeat. There is no sense of true skill progression, just mindless slaughter. You will also constantly get hit by your teammates, and they will constantly run in between the enemy you're facing and you making your sword swings hit them instead of the enemy. What an annoying game... For Honor, while much different than this game, is much better choice if you're looking for something that requires a skill and tactics.

What is your life? My honour is my life.

What is your fate? My duty is my fate.

What is your fear? My fear is to fail.

What is your reward? My salvation is my reward.

Pure awesomeness, this game has reminded me of what gaming used to be for me: discovering something new, learning the secrets of the game from the inside out and being constantly in danger. Sure, after a while, this feeling is beginning to diminish due to certain repeatability of game mechanics, but there's just so much more this game could offer through future DLC (one of which was just announced).

I can't think of a game where driving a car was more fun than Pacific Drive.

No options or graphic settings, so it runs with uncapped framerate making your graphic card struggle almost as if it was running Cyberpunk 2077. Also, movement is incredibly slow and ladders everywhere. Art direction is interesting, but it's just not enough to make a good game.

This is kind of reminds me of afterlife realms in AC Origins 2nd DLC, but with much bigger zones (Elysium, Hades, Atlantis), enhanced skills that greatly affect combat, new gear and a story behind it all (in both timelines). Wasn't so bad, for me only Elysium was kind of bad with super annoying level design, but after that it gets better.

Propably only worth buying for new talent abilities that really make base game whole much easier (Death Veil talent).

Story adds nothing of value to the game or franchise, actually leaves you with more questions and forces player to follow certain romance plot (which has been reduced to a nutshell), whether you like it or not and afterwards forces player to make a honestly dumbest decision of a lifetime.

It doesn't even include new areas, which I see as a missed opportunity for a DLC that could take place in Persia.
