Early Access Review
I really liked this game but the latest update to the game has ruined it for me.

Lighting changes make things almost impossible to see without holding a flashlight constantly.
Audio changes make hearing the ghosts footprints very hard (used to help determine ghost speed)
Levelling changes mean you have to spend like 40 hours to unlock all of the usable tools in the game, which is insane. This XP curve is really quite nuts and too hard for casual players who aren't grinding. People who say its entirely doable are playing on custom settings geared for grinding that make the game unfun (having fog permanently on, flashlights off, no evidence etc).
Conversely, money is far too easy to hoard in this game. You lose not much playing on low difficulties, and in challenge modes you can't lose money at all.
And lastly, there are still bugs present in the game which have been around for years where audio disconnects for any player and everyone else can't hear them, or lobby/server disconnect issues which don't occur in other games.

Solid fun COOP game for playing with your mates. BEST SPACE coop out there right now. There is a cool customizable friendly AI crew system but I wouldn't recommend playing by yourself because it will feel rather empty in comparison.

Archeage is a very well made game, but made terrible by its publishers and executives.
7.4/10
Archeage has quests that welcome new players, but as an MMO Remember this game has ALOT of grinding to get a high level and most of this is questing. If you are interested in buying this game, don't- unless you have an endless money supply to keep up with the paying members.

THIS GAME IS NOT FOR FREE TO PLAYERS! I cannot stress this enough. I have tried *alot* as a free to play(couple hundred hours) some of it was fun, but it has been made worse as a game since it was in Alpha and beta since the release of Pay to Win items.

Pay to win items in Archeage are everywhere, sure you can buy cosmetics, but if you do you probably have bought many pay to win items in this game. To get the best gear in the game one has to regrade. Regrading makes the game more P2W than most because the chances of upgrading items become almost impossible (Highest tier regrade chance 2%- auto breaks if you fail the regrade).

As a game if there was no publisher involved-

Graphics: Archeage has not come a far way from Alpha, but I have not expected it too. The quality of the Terrain is sometimes a bit plain but there are objects of beauty everywhere in sight (trees, bushes and rocks fit in perfectly) and the game does not need to be run in high quality to be good.

Customisation: So far as menu options, with a quick ask in chat someone will tell me how to see quests 1000m away so I can see which quests I have not completed. The Hud is all resizable and you can move it around by shift-click(Dragging). There can be up to 5 hotbars, you probably don't need more :). Costumes as I explained before are mostly obtained from the Cash store and they look fairly well on other players. If you don't like realisim you might not like this feature but you can wear an entire set of armor under a dress or under a prisoners outfit.

Gameplay: Do quests, do trade runs (and sometimes get killed), do dungeons with mentors who help you and guide you :D, then do world boss raids where 50 people all pull out harpoons and go all ghost busters on the enemy npcs. Get a house (If you are patron) and grow stuff on farms( if you are patron). Overall you can do everything as free to play like playin enough to buy apex to get patron, and there is more free roam and ship sailing than any other mmo out there this good.

Graphics: 9/10 {Best MMO Quality objects, sometimes things did not load in for several people and had to relog}
Customisation: 7/10 {There are ship designs and costumes but costumes are hard to obtain as a F2P}
Gameplay: 8.5/10 {Lots of freedom to do what you want but getting into level 50 is a grinding spree with no real reward}
Publisher: 5/10 {The Publisher kept the cash store P2W aspect, does not have consistent Cheat protection}

Overall: 7.3

Note: This game was great in Alpha, if you have a time travel machine go back there to experience this at its height.

Please discount my play time in this game- I have played this game on Xbox all the way through 4 times. :)

Bioshock Infinite portrays a beautiful and broken city in the sky called Columbia.
Everything from the art to the amazing design of the steampunk palaces is tremendous.
At an early moment you realise this city is ownering racisim with white people living easy lives in the 'above life' and black people living down in the 'lower' and darker areas of Columbia. If you have played the original bioshocks, the leader of Columbia 'Father Comstock' appears to be like Andrew Ryan from the Rapture.
Bioshock Infinite is a first-person shooter, but you aren't just armed with guns from WW1 and 2, you are armed with Vigors, like the original Bioshocks Plasmids. You can zapp people with volts of electricity or charge at them with quick speed.

Bioshock Infinite isn't afraid to magnify the way religous and racial extremisim can change our lives.
This game has extreme replay ability because of hidden iconic features and it will move your understanding.
And the ending- Is amazing 8.8/10

CS:GO Review
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most popular online GAMES in the world, and after 200+ hours playing it I can confirm it is a decent fps GAME.

Why did Counter Strike take the world by storm? For one thing it was free and combined realistic kill or be killed situations in a highly competitive environment. Now it’s not free (15$) but you can run this game on very low-end computers so lots of people get into playing and having fun. If you haven’t played Counter-Strike before, I’ll explain how it works in this next paragraph.

The rules of this game have always been the same, you’ll participate in a series of brutal rounds, from the perspective of the CT's (Counter Terrorists) or T's (Terrorists). Five people on each teams, each attempting to kill each other. In classic and competitive you play with 2 bomb sites A and B. The terrorist’s goals are to kill the counter terrorists and plant the bomb (That one of them will randomly spawn with) at one of those bomb sites, while the counter-terrorists goals are to kill the terrorists and prevent them from planting the bomb. The counter terrorists also have the option to defuse the bomb if it is planted by the terrorists. The game is split up into up to 30 rounds with either CT’s or T’s winning with 16 round WINS or with CT’s and T’s tying at 15-15. Every round you buy weapons from a in-game shop and you lose your weapons if you die that round (You only have one life every round).

There is some very REAL skill to this GAME, your reaction time to your hand movements to your wisdom of where to aim and to prefire. There is massive recoil in all guns if you fire repetitively or fully-automatic. There is also communication needed to work together with teammates and lead your team to the right spot to WIN and claim victories!

Atmosphere: 6/10 -Players can be 'trolls', laggy and rude (This usually ruins the experience).

Gameplay: 8.5/10 -Very immersive environment and fun things to do with friends!

Graphics: 6/10 - Of course this is not a high resolution game, but you can enjoy as is!

Bugs: 10/10 -Rarely any bugs as there are constant updates.

Matchmaking 6/10-I said before lots of people can ruin the experience and waiting for a match tends to take ages if popular maps are not included in your search.

Overall: 7.3/10 -Good game, a must for any skilled shooters!

I loved this game.... But you need good internet to play well......

Things I disliked about this game:
-Very long loading screens for servers (Downloading Steam workshop file mods)
-Purple and black missing textures that almost every player will encounter when they first download Garry's mod unless they have Counter Strike; source
-Unruly admins letting other players kill you whenever they want (Mostly on Sandbox)
-Kids with very high voices that spam the voice chat

Things I liked about this game:
+Unlimited possiblities of random scenes and creative artworks
+All the playerbase mods (There are some really cool ones :D)
+The default tools (Most people underate these but these make the game for me; Welding, stretching, and balloons
+The FUN (You can have lots of laughs with your friends in private servers or public ones while smashing each other with props, flying planes, attaching planes to helicopters and LOTS more.

Overall I think high of this game and it is fun to create your own unique stuff.
My favorite sandbox :)

Amazing game.

Key aspects:
~Play with friends or randoms all around the world.
~Choose your missions, Bank heist or Jewelery store?
~You can be stealthy and disable security cameras and alarms or you can run through the mission, shooting police as you go.
~Levels make this game very addictive because you want many skills.

I love this game because of its wide range if missions, guns, masks, skills and equipment. Working together in this game is very benificial as one of you can take down a security guard and the other can take out the camera.

Bad aspects:
~AI don't help with stealth, they just stand around smoking
~Drill takes SO long sometimes just to find out you have to drill again.
