My attention span is very short and I usually play fast paced shooter games/fighting games.

Despite that, I highly recommend this game. It's very chill and very satisfying

This version of the game is the same version that's always existed since its release in the early 2000's. Most attention nowadays for Runescape instead comes from it's sister game, Oldschool Runescape; which is an older version of the game from 2007 which has a classic style of combat instead of main Runescape (or Runescape 3)'s take on a more modern combat system. I'm mainly a Runescape 3 player, although I do keep up with OSRS in terms of its updates and stuff.

All in all, I would recommend RS3; but I would also recommend playing OSRS. OSRS has a (albeit neglected) PVP scene, while Runescape 3 has 0 PVP scene at all. The combat is also very different from both games, with OSRS having a more simple back and forth base combat system and Runescape 3 having an ability based system (think World of Warcraft, FF14, ect). Both games have a flourishing PVM scene, so really which game you choose will depend on which combat system you prefer, and if you care at all about PVP.

Runescape 3 has 6 years worth of additional updates that OSRS does not have, which varies from multiple new skills, quests, bosses, ect. OSRS does have a good deal of content which is unique, which means it exists in OSRS but NOT in Runescape 3, but the same goes for the large amount of content that is in Runescape 3 that doesnt exist in OSRS. OSRS updates also have to pass a poll in order to get accepted into the game, and a lot of updates have been snuffed due to not passing polls. Because of this, OSRS is currently going through a phase where the community feels updates are being released very slowly. Runescape 3 on the other hand, does not have this issue and releases updates very frequently.

Another major difference between the two is that Runescape 3 has a large problem with microtransactions, while OSRS does not. In Runescape 3, players are able to buy XP, which bypasses a large amount of the game. Even if they dont buy it, the game gives the players a lot of keys and boosters to make leveling very quickly. If a player doesnt want these boosts, they can either choose not to use them, or opt in to an "Ironman" mode, which disables microtransaction boosts entirely and makes it so the player cannot trade with others. This is what I've chosen to do, and I see it as the true way to play the game; but it doesn't stop the fact that the culture of the game has been ruined by these microtransactions and quick boosts to end game content for doing nothing at all.

I would suggest playing both games, and figuring out which one is better for you. Runescape 3 gets meme'd on a lot for it's issues; but at the end of the day, it's still Runescape.

This version of the game is based on an older build of the main "Runescape" game from 2007, which has classic combat that differs from the current "Runescape" game. I discovered OSRS on mobile when it came out on mobile, and played for a bit before discovering Runescape 3, or normal Runescape. I've since become a Runescape 3 player mainly, while keeping up with OSRS in terms of it's updates and stuff.

The game is very different than any recent Star Wars releases (other than the Mandalorian) and that's the fact that it's GOOD and not complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

very epic AGAIN

This game is all around fun. I the bundle during the steam black Friday sale for $12.27 and it's some of the best money I've ever spent. When I hit 24 hours after I bought the game I had already pumped 10 hours into it. This game is so addicting and fun. You play for what seems like 30 minutes and you look at the clock and 2 hours has passed, it's the only game that does that to me! I know Civ 6 is out, but if you're looking for a cheaper yet still fun alternative, this is the way to go! Tons and tons of gameplay potential and if you're starting to get bored, get into later years and/or go into war with someone. It takes the mellow, slow gameplay to something that's tense and highly rewarding!

One of the most important things to take into consideration when asking whether or not to purchase this game is to MAKE SURE you have a controller that is usable with your PC. This game is atrocious on the keyboard, and I had LOADS more fun after I figured out how to get my Xbox One controller hooked up to my PC. If you have any console controllers you think you can use with your PC, google them and see if you can. If you don't, I'd recommend buying either a WIRED (has to be wired so it plugs into PC) Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, or PS4 controller.

Lego Star Wars the Force Awakens is an amazing addition to the LEGO Game series. I might be a little biased because not only is Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy for the Gamecube the first LEGO game I ever played, it was the first video game I EVER played, so I have awesome memories of LEGO games. There hasn't been a LEGO Star Wars game since LEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars in 2011, so this is a breath of fresh air for a LEGO and Star Wars fan. The game plays like a normal LEGO game, but adds so much to the game. More puzzles to solve with certain characters, you can build multiple things with LEGO bricks by inputting a directional input (left, right, up, down) to build separate things which you can destroy and build the other thing afterwards (if this was too confusing I'd google it, it's a nice feature). It also adds in gunfights which feels really fun and inclusive in the fight. Last thing I'd like to mention before I get into Pros and Cons is the amount of Hubs. There are 5 hubs in the game. I won't list them all, but 4 out of 5 of the hubs are really big! Bigger then you'd think them to be. It allows for more exploration and more playtime to get every Gold Brick and every Achievement!
Alright, time for Pros and Cons:

Pros:
-Plays like any other LEGO game but improved
-Follows the Force Awakens story really well while adding extra levels for more playability
-Vast amount of amazing characters with more in optional DLC
-Really complex Character Creation, letting you pick from any character in the game's look and weapons.
-The graphics look awesome for a LEGO game. If you've played the older lego games, you'll know why this is a Pro

Cons:
-If you get stuck somewhere and dying won't fix it, you have to restart the level. I found this for myself in level 3 on Jakku where you drop the ladder. If Finn is hugging the wall where the ladder falls, he gets stuck and you have to restart the level. There are more examples to get stuck, but just know if dying won't fix you, you'll have to restart, which can be annoying if it happens multiple times
-It plays reeeaaalllyyyyy bad on a keyboard. Use a console controller to your PC, if you have to spend some extra money to get a wire to hook up a controller or to buy a whole new wired controller, it's worth it in my opinion and makes the game so much fun

You'll want to buy this game if: You like Puzzles, you like LEGO games, you like (or loved) Star Wars The Force Awakens (or anything Star Wars), you like fully completing games (250 Gold Bricks, wowee).
I hope this review helped you in deciding to purchase this game, because I know I really looked at the reviews before my purchase, but I never regret it :)

It's a really great game for competitive and casual gamers alike. So much content you'll never get bored, and with player made maps and community servers, there's so much to do, like Jail, Rocket Jump maps, and much more AGAIN
