This game is really amazing! It tells an amazing story and the way that your choices matter so much is really amazing! The only negative thing I would say is that sometimes it feels a bit like I am watching a movie, however, that is offset by the truly mind blowing story!

This game is a farming game. I honestly had no idea that it could be so fun despite that! From the relationships you make with the townspeople, to going adventuring in the mines, this game is super adorable and really makes you enjoy every minute. I never thought that farming could be this therapeutic, but it is and it is amazing!

Truly awesome game! it deserves all the praise it gets!!

This game may be a bit hard and confusing to begin with, however I can't stress enough how good it is once you get into it. The boss fights are rewarding and really fun to learn, the environment is awesome and the soundtrack is honestly amazing! There is countless exploration to do, and the game has its own way of making every bit of it fun and scaling with progression. The ending is also fun once you find the true last boss ;)

If you haven't picked up this masterpiece yet then what are you doing?

It may be old, difficult to understand and not user friendly, but it will always be my favourite Civ game regardless as all these things just make it the game i love.

This game takes me back to when me and my brother used to play it together when i was younger. It's a really good classic game and it's where it all started for Rockstar. The graphics aren't the best but you can look past that and enjoy the cool and funny missions as you try to remove the islands of gang presence and collect guns.

Would recommend, classic game!

Such a good game with a really immersive story!
There's just something about the level design that always makes you feel in danger and claustrophobic all the time you are between stations. The way the enemies jump out of everywhere and you really have to ration your ammo and other resources really adds to this same survival feeling. In addition, the story, Soviet design and the constant Russian dialogue adds to the strength of the story, making it super immersive!
I would definitely recommend, especially at sale price, it is a steal for the content you get!

I have played pretty much all of the modern FPS Far Cry games so I was pretty sceptical when I bought this as I didn't think an only melee weapon/bow game would work well with the Far Cry formula, however I found the game quite fun and refreshing with great mechanics and an awesome map. In the end i actually quite liked the weapons as they were easy to get used to and you could upgrade them and get different variants as you progressed, all of which were good for putting stone to Udam skull. Furthermore, the NPCs were quite cool and it was fun that you had to gain their trust and recruit all of them for your village. I was also impressed that they made their own language which was consistent with interactions throughout the game. My favourite feature was obviously the pets and the wildlife, as they were just super cute and fun to collect and utilise to kill Udam and beast alike.

One thing i did dislike was that the owl summoner is too overpowered and if i was struggling with an outpost i'd just find myself using the owl to take pretty much everyone out.

I would recommend this game, however maybe wait for a sale as it was fun, however maybe not worth full price.

Hotline Miami is a great game with a cool story and loads of hidden secrets around to help you figure out whats going on. The great thing is it doesn't directly tell you whats happening and instead you have to figure it out, which not many games do. I also love the gameplay, its challenging enough to grind your teeth a bit the first time but not enough to send you away and instead keep repeating it. Finally the music is just great and does an amazing job at setting the mood and keeping you hooked.

I think it's an awesome game that most people should buy, especially given the awesome price during sales!

Prey is a really good game with loads of action all the way through, a long and exciting story, and a decent ending which could go multiple ways depending on what you decide to do. I quite like the feeling of intensity and not knowing what is going too be around the corner because it keeps you on your toes a bit and makes you want to keep exploring more, although the game really reminded me of Alien isolation at times. It's also quite nice that it doesn't really hold your hand and tell you exactly what to do and lets you play at your own pace, which a lot of games fall victim to these days.

I definitely would recommend getting this game, especially since you can grab it at an amazing price during most sales!

CS:GO is a pretty fun game to play with your friends or solo. It it updated relatively often with new maps and game modes which adds a bit of freshness to the experience. The operations are easily the most fun parts, however they are a rare luxury. The style of the game is really good as it’s a good cross between being realistic and still fun.

My only complaint is that the ranked experience is a bit stupid if you don’t play it too much. This is because if you don’t play often enough to retain your rank you loose it and then when you try to get it back you’ll be placed 4 or 5 ranks lower than where you left it.

Overall though it’s pretty good!
