Melt it down and add it to the others. A Megacorp(tm) slaughtering its golden goose, tale as old as time. Sony doesn't need "customers" or even "consumers", they just need you to be a datapoint that pays, so they can cash out on you a second time by selling your data after you've purchased their product.

Oh, the game's an absolute blast, by the way.

Edit: As of May 6th, Sony has reverted their plans for mandatory PSN account integration. Here's hoping they don't go back on their statement and a controversy of this (or any, really) scale doesn't happen again.

This game deserves all the praise and attention it gets.
Seriously, get it. Better yet - get your friends to get it with you.

Crashfest of a game
$100 btw

Your typical story of a greed-driven publisher and a lapdog developer with a pinch of "Stockholm syndrome" sprinkled in somewhere in the mix. Otherwise an all-around great game, once considered the best BR game, is plagued by a total lack of ♥♥♥♥♥ given by the aforementioned parties. This game's got it all - ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ potato servers, gamebreaking bugs (tons of 'em, actually), questionable balance, horrendous monetisation (Hello, 18$ for a skin and 15$ for a gun charm, still can't afford good servers).

I'm still gonna eat up that ♥♥♥♥ for a while, mind you, and naively keep on playing in hopes of improvements and bugfixes. But my patience is starting to wear thin. And so is the patience of thousands of players.

Save yourself the bother, it ain't really worth it.

Unique and immersive set, deinitely worth the price for some interesting builds. Though I wish it wasn't as limiting in some aspects

Embrace the Maul

Oh man, this game turned out to be even funnier than i originally anticipated.
I was thinking that this was gonna be another one of these games where you just switch off your brain, sit back and enjoy the physics unfold, all while laughing your kidneys off, sort of like Gang Beasts.
BOY was i wrong, this here actually has you thinking like 60% of the time if not more, and you'll be asking the question "WHAT DO I HAVE TA DO NOW" a lot , and i've come to understand this after playing only for a couple of hours and completing just a few levels.
My very first playthrough concluded with me as Ricardo Milos and my mate as mankini Borat catapulting ourselves inside a fortress and then trebucheting ourselves to escape (He did manage that, i didn't.) So yeah... Let that give you some notion of what this game is like.
Overall, i really recommend that y'all try this game, because you're in for a special treat. ('Specially given how relatively cheap this game is)

Nice visuals, entertaining (though overly repetitive) gameplay, compelling yet hollow open world, great villain, absolutely terrible story. Wasted potential.
Another ubisoft game that had a huge potential only to be ruined by some negative sides of it that outweigh the good sides.
Horrible plot and story simply ruined this game for me and made me regret spending (More like wasting) my money on it.
Better go replay Far Cry 3 or 4.

Imagine a thorough Dead Island remaster with new areas and few more lovely features, such as movement expansion.
You'll get Dying Light, and Dead Island was a fine game, so make it twice.

One of the best and fun zombie games so far.
