Probably the best action/RPG of the past decade. Great world, the pawn system is unique, the combat is satisfying, can't recommend this enough.

Anything positive I could say about this game is outweighed by some of the most awful hit registration I've ever seen in a shooter. It's not even a latency issue; in a game where most of the players had 8-23 ms ping, shots were not connecting for no explicable reason, with complaints about this coming from both teams. I had fights I had no business winning emerge with me victorious and undamaged, and had cases where I got a drop on someone standing totally still and somehow "missed" every shot.

Whether you win a fight or lose, get a kill or a death, is effectively based on a roll of the die; will the game count these shots or will it be another magazine dumped right through a guy into the wall behind him for no damage? There's no room for skill, it's all a matter of chance. When the central element of a multiplayer shooter, the actual shooting of other players, fails so spectacularly, it renders the game nearly unplayable.

It's a damn shame, too, because there could be something cool here. I like the character variety, it's stylish, and when it does work the gunplay is actually kinda fun with how quick and violent it all is, but it's fundamentally broken in a way that renders it all completely pointless. There are other issues (who actually thinks this melee system is even remotely acceptable, especially paired with how utterly jank the third-person animations are?) but it's barely worth mentioning given how terrible the hit issue is. I hope it gets fixed up, and if so I'd love to revisit this again.

By god they actually did it. They actually made a Doom game in the year of our lord 2016 that plays like a Doom game should. It's fast, it's violent, it's got exploration and secrets, it's everything Doom should be.

I cannot recommend this hard enough.

It's good. It's more Dark Souls. Like every Dark Souls it's got amazing areas and great combat and is marred with a bafflingly bad camera in some fights and the area or two that is the antithesis of fun, but overall I can't recommend it enough.

also the community is still full of tiny babies that are real fun to beat up

A good return to form. Paris is filled with different possibilities for how to do your mission, and player-made contracts expand that even further. It's not Absolution 2, it's a good, proper Hitman game.

good work solvin that puzzle, for a reward here's a nerd talking like he's real smart but not actually saying anything beyond phil 101

that puzzle was pretty dope tho

A neat little adventure. The writing is surprisingly good and it's more atmospheric than I'd expect from a hacking game.

I was right

The new characters are super fun to use and play quite differently than Nero and Dante. Some other minor changes, like increased currency gain to make it less grindy, and Speed kicking in faster to reduce time just walking around mean new players get into the fun parts sooner, and experienced players will spend less time getting back to where they left off.

Shame they didn't fix any of the platforming because it is still THE WORST.
