Visually impressive - beautifully crafted destruction and dismemberment - the background spectacles and characters are often worth just sitting and watching for a few moments.
The combat is fluid and intuitive, yet challenging with a respectable skill level required to master the higher difficulty levels.
The story is fun to follow, especially for those familiar with the WH40K lore, with little hints to other parts of the larger setting hinting at followup content.
Mission diversity is enough to keep you entertained for many hours, especially if you dive into the PvE co-op missions. PVP is okay - fun, but gets repetitve.
Definitely worth the buy, a steal on any kind of sale.

Decent follow-up to Dying Light 1. Solid parkour movement mechanics with a focus on melee combat against zombie hordes, plus some mild ranged combat options.
DL1 still feels better overall, but that my just be personnel preference.

Flight controls and combat feels like Freelancer, I actually quite like the story and how it explains the concept of someone repeatedly dying and coming back into the fight, and the overall world building feels fun without being too indepth. Great game for quick and easy pickup-and-go gaming sessions where you only have <1 hour to play - makes it possible to get in a "complete" gaming session in a short time frame.

Very much recommend it to anyone interested in space combat/flight games (though not necessarily space flight Sims - this is definitely NOT a flight sim).

Faithfully recreates the amazing gameplay from the original, practically untouched by time, but with an incredible graphic overhaul (especially if you have room for the 15GB HD Texture pack).
Still a phenomenally fun time comp-stomping some AI with friends (be warned - this is old-school difficulties, so Hard is legitimately HARD). Add in a bunch of fun new features, like online profiles and and tutorial challenges, and you've got one hell of a package.

CS:GO Review
While there might not be a single-player component to the game, never fear! There are so many people using hacks while playing online, you might as well just be playing against a bunch of overpowered Bots anyway!

Fun city building game - very reminiscent of Sim City, albiet with a notably different approach. Played through a few of the beginner "campaign" missions, and so far everything is coming along well enough - there were a few moments where determining how to complete an objective was not entirely clear, but I was able to work it out with all the info given in the game.

As for technical problems - haven't encountered a single one. Took no extra steps - Bought the game, downloaded through Steam, Installed, linked game and steam account to Uplay (it might help that I previously had an older version of Uplay installed from Assassin's Creed and Watch_Dogs). Uplay took a moment to register the game to my account, but I was able to do a one-click launch from Steam. Installation and getting the game up and running took all of 5 minutes.

The game's music is very enthralling - reminded me of the Banished soundtrack. Visuals were acceptable given the game's age and genre - can't exactly expect Super-Ultra level graphics with a city builder ;)

Overall, I'de give the game a 9/10 - that may change as I play through the different modes, but so far, I have not encountered any major issues. My only complaint is the admmitedly lacking Tutorial - that is, the game doesn't really have one in the traditional sense, haha.
