Note: The game is in its early phases at the time of writing this review.

GGG has done an incredible job making a follow-up to PoE1. It has moved slightly further away from its ARPG roots and made the game slower. It plays more like Champions of Norrath than endgame Diablo 2. With that said, the pacing is extremely similar to how I remember Diablo 2 as a kid. Slower, methodical gameplay with well-telegraphed boss moves are front and center in this game. It is likely that the itemization and pacing will generally increase with time, but it is currently *much* slower than PoE1 was.

The game has outstanding art, animations, music, and atmosphere. Absolutely no notes in those departments.

Currently, there are only 3 acts, but there will likely be 6 acts when the game releases. By that time, there is a tremendous amount of potential that this game can live up to. Even if nothing changes, I would still recommend it in this state.

An excellent PvEvP game that rewards several different playstyles. I'm very impressed by the devs' ability to balance all of the weapons and economy so well, too!

The game is only really fun with at least one other person to queue with. You can get random matchmaking to pair you up or play solo, but it isn't the same experience. With that said, I would recommend it even for solo players (due to the matchmaking system).

The start is particularly nice for new players since perma-death is paused until a slightly higher account level, which rewards experimentation and learning as a new player. The playerbase also seem pretty nice so far!

The negative reviews are due to the (truly horrible) UI redesign in the main menu. But once you used to it, it's really not a big problem at all. The game experience is still incredible and deserves a much higher rating than it currently has.

Easily the best deckbuilder I've ever played. I'm only a few hours in, but I can tell that this will hook me for a very long time. The pacing is also perfect to be able to hop in and play a bit if you have a busy schedule. It's not like most deckbuilders where you can feel trapped into having to finish out the run in one sitting.

I mean, you *will* still finish out the run in one sitting. You just won't notice.

Destiny 2 has some incredible gameplay, but it truly struggles in many areas. The primary issue with the game is the "new player experience", which is nearly completely missing. Having played Destiny 2 on release, the original campaign was a great experience and would have stayed a fun way to get new players introduced to characters, the setting, and basic gameplay functions. However, this old content (and a lot of content after) was "vaulted", meaning it is no longer accessible. This was replaced by a "New Light" tutorial series (which objectively falls short of its goal).

Between the awful on-boarding experience and the regular "vaulting" of old content, I was already on the fence about whether this game could be recommended. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that Bungie has made the experience even worse: new expansions do NOT come with the dungeons for that expansion anymore! Now you have to buy a "Dungeon Key" to unlock that year's dungeons. Effectively, you are buying an expansion, each season, and then a dungeon key if you are slowly trying to get into the game. "Deals" technically do exist that offer a decent value, but unfortunately the up-front cost is not something I'd ever recommend to a new player, and only has standout value as at the beginning of a year OR on heavy sale.

Overall, Bungie has mismanaged this game so horrifically that I cannot recommend it in good faith. It's fun, it has a great setting, and I've met some very friendly people here. But you'll probably be extremely confused trying to navigate it as a first-time player, and Bungie will rob you blind while you stagger your way through. If any one of these problems were fixed, I could begrudgingly change my opinion back to a recommendation. But, as it stands, the game is in very sorry shape.

The only reasonable course of action is to try and start over with Destiny 3 and manage/price it similarly to other MMOs.

A phenomenal ARPG with a staggering amount of content.

It's a little hard to get into as a newer player due to the sheer amount of information in the game and the power-gamer elements in the player-made tutorials. However, just playing the game will quickly give you information you need to understand.

The devs have been on a massive streak of giving nothing but well-liked content lately. Highly recommended.

UPDATE:

I have considerably more time in this game now than I did on my original review. I am happy to say that my time in PoE has only gotten better.

The more you play, the more you understand just how truly different each build feels to play. How well-crafted the endgame content is. How much thought and appreciation for the genre the devs put into this game. This game is a one-of-a-kind experience and should absolutely be given the time to get past the "learning curve" for new players.

With that said, please god in heaven remove the Goblin Troupe.

No, I'm not still sane.

A great 3D fighting game that streamlined systems in the right places. The dev team also focused on adding more tutorial-style elements via the "Arcade Quest", which the genre sorely needed.

This game was a pretty big disappointment on launch. However, the dev team came back and released fixes, overhauls, and changes that have made it an extremely enjoyable experience.

I didn't like Vermintide at all, but Darktide is very fun.

I bounced off this game the first time I tried it with a controller, but I am glad I came back to give it another chance with Mouse and Keyboard.

There are a lot of features (and combinations of features) in this game, which keep it very interesting for a long time. The devs expertly paced the introduction of each feature/mechanic in the game, so you don't feel overwhelmed when you start.

The narrative is interesting enough, but the side-narratives and the narrative style are where the game truly shine. Integrating the rogue-lite death mechanics into the narration was an excellent move.

While this game is older now and goes on sale fairly often, you're not getting fleeced by buying it at full price.

Prominence Poker is a great PC adaptation of Poker. Once you get going in Prominence, it can make it hard to play other forms of online poker again. Compared to Prominence, other games would feel very soulless and make the real-money MTX very prominent. This is because Prominence Poker just has that much character and charm to it.

The core of the game is pretty simple-- it's poker. There can't be much more to be said about that; either you like it or you don't. But, the character customization and progression are where this game shines the most and makes it stand out from its competitors. You can freely spend your "bankroll" (of chips) to buy clothing, nicknames, accessories, etc. for your avatar. There is also a surprisingly large selection for both clothing and for the physical appearances of your characters. Your character can be re-designed at any time for free.

There's a small set of missions/challenges for single-player, but the game is primarily a multiplayer game. On that note: the multiplayer community is pretty good! People don't tend to play like ♥♥♥♥♥ and shove-or-fold every hand, which is a major problem in other fake-money poker games. I think this is because of how the daily awards are relatively small. Nobody wants to lose all their money in one hand and then have to log in for 12 consecutive days to get it back. However, do not take this as me saying the daily rewards are too small. You can choose the buy-in amount you play at, so if you want to play it safe with your bankroll you absolutely can (and probably should)! It's simply that if you are feeling lucky then you don't have to worry about someone ruining the experience :)

Overall, I would say that this game is roughly a 9/10 or so. The only downside I can think of is that the playerbase is relatively small, which means that you may have a hard time getting a completely full table at weird hours of the night, but that's not a common issue at all. I highly recommend this game.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous might be the single best CRPG ever made.

The story, dialogue, music, companions, etc. are all absolutely top notch. It's extremely immersive and I think the game is revolutionary for the genre. That was my opinion a few days after launch. The game has only improved via bug-fixing and balance patches. I am blown away by the depth and quality of this game.

It is one of only two RPGs I have ever recommended at full price. Even if you didn't like Pathfinder: Kingmaker, I still think this game is worth picking up. This was my introduction to the Pathfinder video games, and I would recommend it as an entry point over Kingmaker every single time.
