"I've been wanting a hot githyanki girlfriend."

Story: Poorly explains anything and feels rushed. I would say things are spread thin, but the only story beats are us learning strand and Calus trying to get MacGuffin that we don't even get told why is important. The Witness is there, but I can't really recall him doing anything special outside of two major events. The only memorable new NPC is Nimbus, and for all the wrong reasons. If Cringe was a subclass, Nimbus would be the one who teaches us how to use it. Hearing their voice is annoying enough, but whoever wrote this dialogue needs to be moved to a lesser role. It sounds like zoomer dialogue written by a boomer that falls out of the chair laughing every time they see a Minions meme on Facebook. There was even an obvious chance to develop this character and have them grow to become more mature via the story, but that was completely ignored.

Strand: Fun, but not viable outside of higher rank activities in it's launch state. Grappling is cool but it has too long of a cool down for it a lot of times contributing more fun than actual utility. We don't have all the fragments to fit into our builds yet, but the subclass in general offers far less than the other 4 for PvE. Funny mobility might be okay in PvP, but I doubt it will be popular past this month.

New Mod System: The new mod menu is nice and while it is cool that armor element isn't a worry anymore, it all came at the cost of removing most of the mods that added complexity and intricacy to the game. It has been dumbed down to a less satisfying system that I feel has been accurately called "babies first buildcraft" for good reason. They did this to make it easier for new players, but ended up hurting the game for everyone. It is nice to be able to save things as loadouts now, but DIM is still better for people who know what they are doing.

Guardian Ranks: Awful for new and veteran players. If you are new, you will get basic info about the world and where to go, but it still leaves out a decent bit of basic tutorials for players to learn. Better than what is was before though, but that isn't saying much. All "veteran" players are put at the same level regardless of time/experience in the game previous to Lightfall. It is still too early to say at the moment, but currently the way it works feel like an arbitrary change that doesn't really do anything meaningful. Everyone just looks like they are the same experience, which is overall misleading for new players that are expecting these numbers to mean something. At least season pass level gave an idea of how many hours someone spent playing the game in the past 3 months.

Witch Queen was so good and I tried not to let it raise my expectations, but just the expansion story/campaign just feels so lazy. I would rather play Curse of Osiris again.

10/10 dialogue and flavor text. A bit buggy and needs optimized, but not game breakingly buggy. You can pet the dog if you have Animal Whisperer. Very worth.

Moon is Spooked

Update as of next expansion: Moon no longer haunted.

Update as of Season of the Haunted: It is haunted again

Left 4 Rat 2

Brilliant yet simple, this adorable little party game is surprisingly much more fun than it looks. The only downside is that it has no online multiplayer (yet). Even if you have just one friend to play with, it is well worth the price.

The best one-liner I can use to describe this game is "Fallout 4 requiers no skills." Both because it is easy, and because the Skill system that many fans have been playing with for years, has been replaced. If you are unfamiliar with the fallout franchise, then you will not mind the change as much, but veterens of the series might see this as a turn off.

But the game at it's core is good. The gun play is fun, there are builds for every playstyle, endless crafting potential, base building at all your settlements to defend against enemies, and much more. The game still has the fun wit and charm that comes with the atmosphere of all Fallout games, part of which is the reason why it is one of the best franchises in many peoples opinions.

On the other hand though, the in game talking choices are pretty poor. You get 4 vague descritions for options, and the one you pick might not even be the one you though it was. The weapons can be modded to be anything you want, but the actual number of weapons is very low in comparison to previous games. Also the game has terrbile scaling, as it becomes hardly a challenge to take on a group of super mutants, while being naked and only using fist weapons on the hardest difficulty (I have a full playthrough of this and got bored at around level 30ish. This is pre DLC launch with the new Survival difficulty.)

Overall in my opinion, the pros out weigh the cons on all fronts still.

The Pros being:

• Simple to learn and get into for new player
  
• Various playstyles and fun ways to murder
  
• NPCs with depth and character
  
• Crafting and base building with endless potential (and soon robots to craft)
  
• You can get a robot girlfriend
  
  and the Cons being:
  
• Game stops being a challenge after a certain point, thus making it less fun.
  
• Dialog options are too few and too vague
  
• Only a few different base weapons to choose from.
  
• Another Settlement always needs your help.
  
• Your robot girlfriend can reject you.
  
  The game is a good buy now, and will be a better one once all the DLC is released. If you are patient, wait for the GOTY edition with all the DLC and stuff.
