This is a damn good game… no more, no less.
However, the turds at IOI force you to have an online connection at all times. You can play offline, but 80% of the content is locked.
You'd think they learned something from the first one back in 2016 (which had the same problem), but they're too stupid and followed the same formula with this one.

So my question to the 'multicultural and gender-diverse team from a wide range of ethnic, philosophical and religious backgrounds' working at IOI is: why was it necessary to do this to a single-player game?
Was it for the leaderboards? Was it so we can see how SPRUT finished every single mission in 7 seconds?
Was it because of the new celebrity targets? You don't need to always be online for that.

It's a shame because it could've been the perfect Hitman game.
I don't recommend it if you're planning to buy it. I recommend it only if you can download a pirated copy and don't have to worry about losing progress because of their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ servers.

I've played a lot of pool games, and so far, this one is the best one. But get this: developers are still updating the game!

Key positives:

• The balls look shiny, and the physics feel realistic.
  
• Plenty of game modes: 8 ball, 9 ball, 10 ball, snooker, and a lot more.
  
• Ability to switch between 2D and 3D views.
  
• Online multiplayer.
  
• The music is nice and makes you calm.

The puzzles are better than ever. Every area offers a new mechanic/device, and that's great. It forces you to think outside of the box throughout the game. The hardest puzzles are saved for last, and those made my brain overload a couple of times.

As for the story and soundtrack, they're alright but way inferior to the first game.

One thing I didn't like is having to run around from point A to point B like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moron. Don't get me wrong, the maps are nice and big and make you feel like a small insect, but running from one puzzle to the next is a waste of time (especially if you backtrack and want to resolve all of them before the final act).

I mild recommendation from me. The scenery is colorful and beautiful, the soundtrack is reminiscent of past games, and the puzzles are better than ever.

However, I smell something bad, and it's not my fart. It's wokeness.
Amadeus keeps whining about his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wife every chance he gets, like a little cuck. Also, if you take a good look at his children, you'll notice something's not right. He's white; his kids are brown.
As for Zoya, she runs off with the black female librarian from her intro level to hunt treasure. Take a look at Zoya's face in the final cutscenes when she talks to her. You don't have to be a genius to see what they're trying to do here.

I like my games free of politics, and if Trine is taking that path, they can kiss my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because this is the last time I'll buy a game from them.

After playing the first two games, I thought the story couldn't get better. Then I played Exodus.

Gameplay-wise it doesn't offer anything new, but the story is where it shines. Both good and bad endings are great, although I prefer the bad ending.

I hope they'll make another game because I can't get enough of the Metro lore.

If you watched Bud Spencer's movies, you'll find this game too familiar.
I've had so much fun playing it, I can't recommend it enough.
The soundtrack fits perfectly with the theme of the game. Fortunately for us, there's a jukebox with all the tracks in the main menu for our hearing pleasure.

If you haven't played the original Half-Life, this game is perfect for you right now.
If you already played the original Half-Life but want to relive it, this game is perfect for you right now.

This is one of the most entertaining co-op games I've ever played.
The best thing about it is the community: they are friendly, and veterans will have no problem teaching you how to get better.

This game has some serious stuttering issues. It doesn't matter if you have a high-end PC; it's poorly optimized. Other than that, it can provide good entertainment (both coop and single player).

While the story is not bad and the game mechanics are basic, the best thing about The Forest is its atmosphere.
