To say this game is incredible is like saying the sun is big. This game doesn't imerse you, it engulfs you. Everything is gripping and emotional, i actually felt anxious and afraid, and in combat felt as if I was fighting for Senua's life. It plods along and is punctuated by episodes of sheer terror in a way that is engaging and engrossing. Play it with headphones, it's the best game I've played in years.
First things first, fuck whatcha heard on the internet. Especially fuck clickbait journalists. Cyberpunk 2077 is awesome. I'm giving it 5 stars because it's a great game (with some dings noted below), and CDPR is actually supporting it! Dings up front: presently I'd give the game 3.5-4 stars. The bugs, man there's some. I'm over 35 hours in, and I've had one crash. I've had two quests get weird but not gamebreaking. The rest of the bugs are just goofy sort of stuff you'd encounter in a GTA game or Bethesda game. The difference is that CDPR has been awesome on patching this game, and that alone is worth an extra star, and I'm fully confident theyre gonna get this game up to 5 star material. The rest of the game is awesome. Flat out awesome. It's gorgeous and runs smoothly on my GTX1060 (30-400fps, which isn't PCMR glorious, but is still very playable) with the settings on high or ultra. Night City is breathtaking at times, and feels like an actual city. Lighting effects, environment, vehicles, and character models are all incredibly rendered. The story line is great too, holding tightly to the themes of the cyberpunk genre. faint-of-heart be warned, cyberpunk as a genre is gritty and savage, hence the punk part. It is not gentle or heartwarming, and CP77 adheres to that beautifully. The characters, environment and stories are immersive, and the game allows you wide dialogue berth to roleplay. It actually has more of the open-ended feel of a pen-and-paper Shadowrun campaign than anything I've played recently. The quests often put you into murky gray-area decisions where there is no good decision, which again adds to the genre experience. They are filled with intriguing characters and dilemas. It is immersive and fun. All in all, Cyberpunk 2077 is a flat-out incredible game that is 90% there. I am thrilled to see them patching their wildly ambitious project, and can't wait for the day I get to edit this review and say it's 100% done.
I love this game so much. It's more of a spiritual successor to Diablo II than Diablo III was. Persently I'm playing it like an MMO, and just exploring, and hitting all the little spots along the way. I've yet to find anything that feels grindy at all. All the quests are fun, the points of interest that are meh are offbalanced by solid and fun combat, and decent loot drops. The crafting system is absolutely set up for someone who wants a more action RPG feel, wherein you only have to craft things once (THANK GOD!!!!). Your choices feel like they matter, your horse is fun to ride, and monsters are fun to fight. It might take me 1200 hours to beat this game and i don't care. Everything in it is engrossing. The Bestiary is cool because it makes me feel like I'm actually a monster hunter, looking in my musty tomes for wisdom on fighting enemies to add to my actual battle tactics. The characters are all exceptionally well made, the monsters are all well crafted. Even the side quests don't feel like bullshit. This game is absolutely incredible. The only question of wether you should buy this or not are: 1. What sort of real world responsibilities do you have and how well do you balance them? and 2. What is your budget? Seriously this game is an absolute masterpiece. I paid full price and it's been worth every penny. Would buy it again.
This game is still great! the story and atmosphere make it one of the more unique FPS games I can thin of. The controls and game play are very much a throw back to the Goldeneye era of shooters. The game itself has aged quite well, and i'm loving it as much as I did when I played it for XBox years and years ago. I knocked an entire star off for two reasons though: one, supported resolutions have not been updated. which compared to item 2 is more of an annoyance than a big issue. 2: mouse control on the menu screens is an abomination. like... I dont even know how you could have mouse support this bad. The cursor doesn't go anywhere you want it to, and actually wont even traverse the entire screen. That said, the menus are navigable with the keyboard, and the mouse support in game is good. Poor form though Ubisoft. tisk tisk. You should cnsider yourself lucky that the rest of the game makes up for this. For $6, it's a MUST BUY
this is my favorite Star Wars game. It is far and away Star Wars Diablo. Depth? Surprisingly yes, in a manner very reflective of console games in the early 2000's, there are tons of secrets and unlocks found within the game. The controls are kinda clunky, but the combat mechanics are still pretty solid. You absolutely can use the Force to beat a Rhodian to death with a Jawa and that alone is worth the price of admission. All in all, it is still a phenomenally fun game, and I love GOG for bringing it over <3
The graphics, oh the graphics! My how they have aged! However, remembering back to when it came out, Deus Ex was never really acclaimed for its graphics anyway. The story line, and incredible blend of FPS & RPG however, has really withstood the test of time well. Tremendous game, buy it!
I don't know what it was about Jade Empire. Was it the incredibly silky kung-fu combat system? Was it the complete departure from typical RPG settings? Was it the beautifully rendered settings and cutscenes? Was it that I had complete suspension of disbelief, and loved kung-fu fighting my way through swaths of badguys? All of the above I guess, as I played through this game numerous times when it first came out, and plan on doing the same now. Great find GOG!
