9.8/10

Positives:
* Combat (challenging and fun)
* Epic Machine Battles (every high-tier machine fight is a boss fight)
* Storyline (keeping up the suspense for the next game)
* Characters (very well-written aside from a few bad apples)
* Weapon Variety
* Navigation and Sandpit elements

Cons:
* Exciting part of story starts too late
* Tenakth are not interesting, badly written, and forced on you
* Too little options for good cosmetics
* So little content on the Zenith and Sylens storyline, we really wanted more. You waste too much of the game chasing uninteresting quests for the Tenakth

Forget everything you've heard about Cyberpunk, this DLC is its own epic standalone game, which exceeded all of my expectations.

The Good:
- Epic & Dynamic Storyline. Decisions lead to substantially different outcomes.
- Very interesting and well-acted characters.
- Dark, Political, Dystopian theme. Playing this DLC is a truly exciting experience.
- Satisfying endings.
- Amazing gear and rewards.
- Bugs were minor.

The Bad:
- Only negative I could think of is that I really wished it was a longer story campaign.


*** Phantom Liberty is Cyberpunk's redemption, it is far more enjoyable than the base game, and will leave you craving for more. I would personally love to see a sequel to this storyline in the future.


*10/10*

One of the best games I have ever had the pleasure of playing.
It hits all the boxes for game enjoyment, and delivers a very unique experience.

Pros:
- Dynamic and Engaging story. Very creative, apocalyptic, and thrilling.
- Very satisfying combat system. With a variety of weapons and tools that gives you freedom to approach combat differently. With the right approach, you can control any fight you are thrown into.
- Amazing visuals. Very soothing and eye catching environments.
- Very interesting concepts. A post-apocalyptic, futuristic, cyber, tribal, primal, and medieval mix merged together very nicely.
- Well-structured missions. Map and mission design is on-point, providing a dynamic experience with enough freedom to keep everything interesting.
- Excellently written main character. Alloy (the main protagonist) is by far one of the most proficiently built character I have seen in modern gaming. She is also brilliantly voice acted.
- Sylens. He's a very interesting character. Lance Reddick did an amazing job with this one.

Cons:
- Loading times. They can be a pain sometimes.
- Limited parkour. You can sometimes feel obstructed by the terrain, and limited to few areas to climb.
- Too much knock back effects. Some are unnecessary and can feel annoying sometimes.
- Uninteresting characters. Some (not all) characters are not well written and voice acted. Some are extremely annoying and you can end up skipping their entire conversations.
- Although the game has a diverse array of weapon and armour, it could had still used a bit more, as you can remain stuck with a few weapons for a very long time.

*** Overall, and exceptional game worthy of your time and money.

{9.8/10}

The Good

* Presentation (10/10): The game will leave a very good first impression on you, the design and art are both flashy and well polished in most aspects. The game is impressively consistent in its theme, it can be seen and felt throughout the entirety of the game. The art, visuals, gear, HUD, music and combat all compliment each other and deliver a very consistent and unique mystic space adventure.

* Combat (8/10): Very satisfying combat system. Despite its simplicity (3 Weapons + Class Ability A, B & Grenade), the balance between them paired with your 'Super Ability' makes playing matches a very satisfying & challenging experience. The Super itself is a very thrilling mechanic to use (although very short and occasional). However, there are a few mechanics that the game needs to revamp, especially in regards to weapon balance.

* Visuals (10/10): The game is absolutely gorgeous. The art style is one of the best I've seen to date and is consistent across all aspects of the game. The Scenes, characters, textures, visual effects and general outlook are all well designed and in-line with the game's theme. Cutscenes are also incredibly well made.

* Music (10/10): Outstanding musical production. The OSTs are some of the most memorable things about Destiny 2. You will be searching them on YouTube after finishing, I guarantee you that.

* Characters & Voice Acting (9/10): Despite little dialogue in this game, characters draw you to them pretty fast. They are well written and outstandingly voice acted. You will find yourself strangely attached to characters after your second encounter.The Bad

* Story (3/10): To put it simply, There is No Story. The game starts with a pretty good tutorial sequence that introduces the game and many characters. But then it only offers you 3 Story Campaigns that are: 1- Paid: You get to play the first mission of each then the game asks you to pay up.2- Unrelated to each other: Just 3 independent mini stories.3- 5-6 Hours Long: With no final campaign to tie them. They just play out and that's it.[Don't get me wrong, they are excellent and well written, but just not enough]

* Missions (5/10): Not much diversity in mission objectives. It's all basically "go from A to B and kill everyone in your path, then get a box". Although there is a pretty decent selection of maps, you will end up replaying same exact line of objective (on the same previous paths) throughout most of the game. There is very little variety in the gameplay that Destiny 2 offers besides map diversity.

* Matchmaking (4/10): Hit and Miss. Sometimes you end up with people close to your level and enjoy. Sometimes with very new players, and end up carrying them (doubling the extent of the match). And many times you will end up with players way above your level who will dash through the map and clear out rooms in seconds, leaving you with absolutely nothing to do. The game is extremely unbalanced and unorganised in this regard. The chaotic match making system has often ruined the game for me.

* Replay value (0/10): There is absolutely no reason for you to go back and replay the game. It offers nothing but loot, No StoryLimited FreedomLimited Character CustomisationLiterally the same exact objectives over and over


* Progression (5/10): At first, progression will feel very rewarding as you will be going through a lot of loot and cosmetics to further enhance your character to your liking. But after the 15th hour, it will get too repetitive. There is no real sense of reward in this game aside from loot, the absence of a storyline is probably the main factor that made this so prominent. After a while, you will only be grinding for stats and numbers. And due to limited objective types, the game might feel like a chore sometimes, the same you might see in other massive co-ops like Warframe.

The Ugly

- Chaotic Questline System: Destiny 2 Routine > Get Boring Bounties > Go kill X number of enemies > get back to quest giver > get loot > repeat. You only get to track 3 quests at a time so you have to open your menu often to check for count (doesn't pause game).

- Filler Objectives: The game is so limited in content, that it recycles the same objective and delivers it back to you hoping it can fool you into thinking its a new mission type. The game is clearly low on content, and is trying hard to stretch its play hours with recycled missions.

- Disparity in Difficulty: You sometimes enter missions where you feel useless, and others where you just clear out rooms in a breeze. The game doesnt help you prepare for what is coming.

- Death by Fall Damage: The game can really push your buttons with how articulate it needs you to be in timing and aiming your jumps, you will die A LOT from falling off the map. And some maps might drive you crazy by throwing you into a boss fight on a very narrow platform, with limited visibility and to make things worse, they also give the boss a shockwave ability that throws you off the map.

- Missing Tutorials: Too many important mechanics and items are not explained in any sense or form. You will need YoutTube to progress in Destiny 2.

* Conclusion: Despite numerous flaws in Destiny 2, it is still good. I have enjoyed the 20 hours I spent on it, but that's all I could give it. Everything becomes way too repetitive after 20-30 hours. Destiny 2 could have been one of the greatest games ever made if they had focused on:

- Making a cohesive Story Mode, with at least 6 or 7 Campaigns and an actual Final Sequence & Ending.
- Adding unique objectives in Missions, and allowing more locations of the open worlds to be used for missions.
- More Weapons, Armour, Cosmetics to be obtained as guaranteed rewards, not randomly generated (and improving RNG & diversity).
- Granting the ability to track all quests in a single map at once.
- Guiding players better in understanding the game's mechanics and properly prepare them for the next step instead of throwing them to run around and get nothing solid done.

Pros:

* Very Addictive
* Very Creative Character Upgrade System
* High Variety of Characters, Armors Sets, Weapons, Cosmetics and Weapon Mods.
* Due to Variety, your own playthrough will be Unique to anyone else's, Players experience the game differently due to the Complexity of its Character & Modding Options.
* Sets very rewarding Goals for you to build up to; creating your very own Meta Builds.
* Decent Variety of Mission types with Complex build requirements.
* Very Friendly Community!
* Non-competitive, you play to have fun not to win.
* Fast-paced and full of Epic Action, and jam-packed with Challenges and Visual Eye Candy.
* There is always something to do or something new to get your hands on.
* Great story Questline.


Cons:

* Very tormenting grinding system, unlocking a Character, Weapon, Cosmetic or Mod can be a daunting experience sometimes. Most of the grinding in the game is very unnecessary and was only made to extend the timespan of average playthroughs.

* Very lazy and inadequate tutorial system, the game does not help you at all in understanding its overly complex mechanics, Warframe is unplayable without a Wiki.

* Due to absence of proper guidance, you will commonly miss out on a lot of cool things that could have substantially helped you in your earlier gameplay, I have frequently discovered important Mechanics and Items after 1'000 hours of gameplay.

* New game updates feel like downgrades and are basically trying to weed out old players. The game is slowly becoming unwelcoming for any player who masters the game, which is not a good sign for the game's future.

* Many game-ruining Mechanics & Bugs that have not been fixed yet.

* Some level designs are terrible and extermely painful to navigate.

* You will eventually need in-game currency to progress. in-game currency is either bought with money, or earned from other players by selling them rare items

* Reward systems need a lot of improvement, many game modes have very low pay-off for your efforts.

* Too much reliance on RNG Mechanics, you rarely get a Guaranteed Reward no matter how hard you work. There is always a chance you might spend Days or even Weeks farming for One Single Item! RNG is cool for cosmetics or rare collectibles, but not for Crucial items that you need to progress. This is the most frustrating aspect about Warframe, be warned.

* Having a favorite weapon is not really an option in this game, the disparity between weapons and their usefulness is extremely high, and attempts by developers at fixing this have only made things worse, they are nerfing good weapons & mods instead of empowering weaker ones.

* The game is TOO DEMANDING in terms of Time and Effort, otherwise your gameplay experience will be Mediocre. The timespan of item construction, farming and grinding the same missions is too high for people who have any form of responsibility.


**** The game is great, unconventional and addictive. However, it can be very punishing and tormenting at times, and it can be very time-consuming as well. Lack of guidance pushes you to sometimes completely ignore many gameplay elements that could have aided you. Nevertheless, Warframe is a game that has defined its own unique Gaming Genre. Although it still has a few miles to go before it's ready to take on some the Best PC Games out there, it is on a Good path towards becoming a model for other games to follow.

8.9/10 ... Great Gameplay, Visuals, Character Development and Progression.

However, I would not recommend this game to anyone who does not have A LOT of free time on their hands.

8/10

Pros:
- Great Visuals
- Well Composed Music
- Diverse Environment
- Plenty of stuff to do
- Revisiting old historic locations
- Good storyline (only for those who have played the series)
- Excellent Combat controls & a good variety of Combat Actions
- Predator Bows are very fun to use
- Ability to scan locations with an eagle
- Runs very smoothly, No Bugs!

Cons:
- Boring Characters
- Storyline too driven by vengeance and unrelated to the overall AC story (except at the very end)
- You will never get to obtain some of the best Armor & Weapons in the game unless you pay for them
- You will be stuck with terrible weapons & outfits for the first half of the game
- Not enough in-game money available to buy Rare Loot, and not enough XP to max out the Abilities Tree.. I have finished the game 100% and there are abilities I wasn't able to obtain..
- Very low number of arrows given even if you fully upgrade pouch
- You don't get rewarded for Completing Side Quests and Collectibles.. you only do it for the "Old Habits" achievement.
- So few costumes available.. Good costumes can only be bought online..
- Too much open space.. Plus, most of the map is mountains and villages..
- You won't feel like you're playing Assassin's Creed .. it feels like a totally different RPG game
- No Rooftop Jumping, most buildings are separated
- No Multiplayer or Co-Op..
- Aya (main character's wife) is probably the least interesting character to have ever been introduced to the series


** If the next AC will feature Aya then I predict it will be an utter disaster, they tried hard to give her a good introduction, but sadly she is just too boring to withstand..

No dedicated servers
Match making is atrocious
