A game where you'll actually have your own adventures to be told.

Even though I'm still new to this game, I've had many memories that are so fun and interesting, I've actually felt like I'm having real life adventures. You never know what your next play session will take you. Fighting sea monsters? Making alliances with other ships? Raiding other players, perhaps? The balance between how you can play vs what you can do in this game is unlike any other I've played.

However, I don't think this game is perfect, far from it. Under all that pirate glory, Sea of Thieves still have a lot of potential to be dug up. Sword fights are sort of bland, islands should have more in it, territories could be added, etc. That being said, Sea of Thieves is way more fun with friends, playing solo is doable but you'll feel that more manpower is needed and it gets boring faster.

Don't get me wrong, the game itself is great. It has a uniquely goofy gameplay, where you ragdoll around trying to shoot other players. The sound design and recoil is punchy and satisfying.

Sadly, it's a dying game. I got this game back when it was still free but now that it's paid, I believe it reduces the appeal of the game. If you want to try this game out, I simply don't recommend it. The playerbase is just FAR too small. Getting into a match takes some time, and once you're in a match, the number of people in it is only about 18-25 people which means firefights seldom ever occurs.

It is most definitely the best casual game I've ever played. I absolutely LOVE how this game feels. You glide around avoiding cliffs from map to map - a rather simple concept but satisfying and even addicting. You can relax and take it slow by flying through more open areas, or you can be risky by soaring through the smallest crevices you can find. The cherry on top is the combination of both the amazing sound design of the wind and also the little camera shakes you get when you take sharp turns.

The game rewards dangerous turns and risky paths and that's what makes it so thrilling. Because of its minimalistic art style and simple game mechanics, the game loads up super fast and I highly recommend Superflight to those who are looking for a fun, casual, time waster.

One thing I do wish for is more achievements from the developers. Superflight quickly gets boring if you've unlocked all the achievements.

TL;DR : It would be a great game if there were more players.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Day of Infamy is an awesome close-quartes combat FPS set in WW2. If you're looking to buy a shooter game with realistic shooting mechanics, then this is the game for you. Reloads are slow, and it makes it feel very real. A few shots is enough to take you out, and it raises the stakes. Popping a smoke or a grenade to flank the enemy would turn the tide of a battle, and it feels badass when done right.

One major problem that may actually cause you NOT to play the game is the playerbase. There's only about 800 active players at a time! Servers near my geographic location (Southeast Asia) are very empty and I can only play on American servers, which causes me to have 200+ ping.

In the gamemode 'Casual with bots,' I'm usually the only real HUMAN in the server (since too few play people this game), with 12 bots in each team. It's practically playing offline that way.

When you finally get to play with REAL people, the game difficulty skyrockets. Since I'm very new to this game, I can safely say that the game is not very noob-friendly.

In conclusion, I believe it's best to buy Day of Infamy when it's on sale, otherwise it's just not worth it.

It's an old game, but a classic. It really keeps you on the edge of your seat, such as when:
> Your health is low and a horde of zombie is scampering towards you
> Your team mates are down and you're the only one left
> You know an army of zombies are waiting behind that door

This game requires a lot of team play and strategy so it's more fun if you play with friends, so I suggest you buy it when you're gonna play together. Otherwise toxic people are gonna bash you, which leads to not enough teamwork and not enough reviving each other.

It's a great game. Sure, sometimes when you walk out of some building, you get shot and die instantly but I can't blame the game for that. It's simply how war is, and this game captures that almost perfectly. Almost. It captures the close-quarters combat perfectly, but not the wide-scale image of it.

While I know this game is running on Source, I wish they would make the maps way larger and put some more variety other than just infantry play, but I think I'm asking a bit much.

If you're like me, and you just want to experience a true WW2 atmosphere, this game should bring you just that... For a moment.

At first, I enjoyed the game for a good 200 hours. There were many issues like the unbalanced play, the grind and the level-up system, but I had forgiven them. I wasn't a very nitpicky gamer.

And that was before I ever spent a dime on gaming as a whole.

After I finally decided to spend money and actually BUY games (i.e: CSGO, Battlefield, Rocket League) I began to realise that this game that I used to play - Heroes and Generals - was utterly garbage. Compared to ACTUAL paid games, Heroes and Generals is terrible. I cannot overstate how bad this game is.

I imagine you've read the other reviews on this game, dear reader, and the negative reviews cannot be more right. The developers don't listen to the playerbase, they don't fix bugs and balance gameplay. They keep adding more content that we never asked for. Because of this, instead of making the game have more variety, it creates even more problems.

Even after THREE YEARS after its official release, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Siege is still going strong, and there's no end in sight. What can I say? The graphics are outstanding, the gameplay is addicting, and the Operator system is well thought out.

CS:GO Review
Highly competitive and at often times makes your heart feel like it's going 60 miles an hour. CSGO is most fun when you play with friends, because the average people you'd find in this game is so toxic, your IQ might actually go down to THEIR level.

Although it may not be as competitive as games such as CSGO, I deeply recommend this game. It's a perfect example of a game where the in-game character doesn't get better... YOU get better.

Everytime a game is over, you just want to do one more. And one more. Again, and again. Highly addicting once you get into it. With that being said, it's worth every penny.
