We live in a time where THEY will charge money for what would be proper game functionality -- if not just a prize with a creative mission attached which gifts this to the player. All content like this should have some kind of mission or actual in-game happenings attached -- otherwise, the game is trash based on greed.
This game has a widely known bug where the game slows to a crawl on the 60 fps. I bought it at the Humble Store DRM-Free. The windowed aspect ratio only works as a tiny box, with no options for 1920x1080, for example. The gameplay leaves much to be desired--with so much dodging, there is no dodge-strike, and the lag window between dodge and strike is very long. Sometimes the color of the ground is the same as the character, and you lose where you are during fights. The title is very ironic, since the 60 fps bug is so sluggish, and there's so much backtracking and wandering around trying to find yellow upgrade symbols, so I like to call it Placid Dark Native, the antonym of its claims. No more sliding rock dash puzzles for me, no way. No more pink neon. Glad I paid $6.80 for this I'm dodge rolling it into the bin.
Found a wand that shot infnite homing pollen then bought a random teleportation spell and somehow ended up in an magic-alien lair with brutal magic-alien enemies, then they killed me after awhile. I wonder if I'll ever find that place again, or find out if the "tome of the celestial spheres" does anything. Minus one star becuase maybe one could be able to keep some things, idk--but I guess that's just the chaotic roguey randomness that is Noita. - If you don't think yourself dying is funny--this is not for you. - If you don't mind dying a lot/ don't care and might love a most gorgeous use pixilation by way of endless alchemical explosions and chaotic sandbox exploration for what it is--this is for you.
Played way too much of Diablo 3, and was left shocked in disappointment. Grim Dawn is like taking everything you could imagine despising about Diablo and fixing it into something else that transcends anything about Diablo--Crate beats Blizzard at their own game in every imaginable aspect. Grim Dawn would annihilate Diablo with a little spurt of aether ray. You will forget how wonky your character looks after the first few gunshots. I cannot describe how wonderful it is adding devotion powers to your already insane abilities...try it for yourself!
If you can't see it, is it still there? It probably is, and its about to kill you--but you can't see it until the game says! This game is frustrating in a fair way--a somewhat realistic way where you're in a battle with aliens and don't have any idea where they might be--whereas in most other games (almost all that I can recall) give the player some amount of omniscient godliness about their sights. You also cannot just shoot anything from anywhere, either. Get used to missing if you can't help but hack at the boundaries and rules like myself. This game is a worthwhile challenge for anyone who enjoys trial and error--but the exacting rules of effective combat can become too taxing. This game is thick to a point where I'm one match and done! Also, cover doesn't really work--damage through the environment is quite shaky. Going after supplies just leads to upset for me.
XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is the real game--i.e., this game you see before you on this page has ridiculously long loading times that almost made me uninstall it. I changed to XCOM 2, WAR of the Chosen, and loading is almost instant. This is basically an allegory for everything else comparing this version (the vanilla XCOM 2) to XCOM 2, WAR of the Chosen. You have been warned, and yes, you can be a bit ragey about it.
Don't Get Excited About Games!? And don't read anything on the internet about them?! I read very little about Cyberpunk 2077, because I didn't want any spoiling of what "could be the greatest game of all time." Well, it could've been, but it would never find a release date--it would never be released. This is a dream project that became a nightmare from the deep, a monster with the power of MASS DISAPPOINTMENT and CONFUSION. (bellowing into the soulless Night CIty like the alley prophet in the game...) I did everything I could in this game, and 2 missions won't work because of scanning bugs. 180 hours of play, and one will realize this is only half realized, and only half the gear actually works--not even kidding! And, you won't be able to use much of the cyberware, as the skills are locked at 50. This game made me lose all hope in the future of gaming.
Started on the Xbox and didn't finish because I and it (the game, DOS II) can't be trapped there--and its SCREAMING to be played on PC. No sh1t. Anyway, I bought it again and don't usually--if ever--buy two copies of a game (out of principle, pooey DRM ahem ungnh), but this is the de-facto turn based RPG experience to date. Want to teleport a monster beyond a chasm covered in poison, then lob a fireball at the poison and create a massive burning field of cursed fire for the monster to waddle back to you from? Well, you can. Honestly, finding new ways to transform the environment (and your enemies health) take the cake for me--its the most enjoyable and creative combat of any game ever made. You have the freedom to carve out your own adventure--and the system is so simple, one can take out enemies a few level above themselves
