The Good

• The new graphics update is great. It makes the game feel even more alive than before and gives everything a refreshing, shiny, brand-new look. They really nailed it.
  
  
• Dungeons and Trials are really great and refreshing, with many new and interesting mechanics to solve. It makes me even more hyped for Savage fights.
  
  
• The new animations and skill effects are really pretty and make your favorite job feel more alive.
  
  
• Many quality-of-life improvements have been added, which is always nice.
  
  
• Two (Eventually 3) very fun and unique jobs.
  
  
• The new zones look absolutely stunning visually. The developers have done a fantastic job with the aesthetics and graphics. There are no invisible walls within each zone (except when traveling between them), which makes the entire world feel much more open and free.
  

Mixed

• The MSQ moves pretty slowly, which might disappoint players used to a faster story, even compared to older FF14 MSQ before Dawntrail. The focus on Wuk Lamat might not be everyone's cup of tea and could affect how much you enjoy it if you're not into that character. (Of course, this is all subjective and could vary depending on your own playthrough and preferences.)
  
  
• The expansion (at least so far in 7.0) and the overall game are still pretty much the same deal - same type of content, same playstyle, and all that. Square Enix is just sticking to what works instead of taking any big risks.

Baldur's Gate 3 is truly a masterpiece of modern gaming.

Immersive World-Building: Everything in the game feels like it's been lovingly handcrafted, making it a truly immersive experience.

Engaging Storytelling: The game weaves a complex, branching story filled with intriguing characters, unexpected twists, and moral dilemmas. Your choices genuinely matter

Strategic Combat: Baldur's Gate 3 combines real-time and turn-based combat seamlessly. It offers a deep and satisfying combat system where strategy and tactics are key to success.

Character Development: The character creation and development in Baldur's Gate 3 are exceptionally robust. Players can customize their protagonist's appearance, abilities, and background, allowing for a personalized and unique experience. As your character progresses, you'll make choices that define their personality and shape their destiny.

Stunning Graphics and Sound:The attention to detail in character animations, environmental design, and the atmospheric soundtrack contribute to making this game a true visual and auditory masterpiece.


It's a must-play for any fan of role-playing games and a title that will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greatest in gaming history.

Must have game

Finally on Steam.

DMZ is fun and can be a bit stressful but thats about it. There isnt much to do and when you die, you dont really lose anything. DMZ needs to be a bit slower, have less AI and make it so gear actually matters, so there is some gear fear. Right now, there is no such thing as "Gear Fear". Every round is the same. But it has good potential. Hopefully they will work on it and get it done.

Battle Royale / WZ 2 is meh. It was supposed to be the "CoD Battle Royale" reborn but its pretty much just WarZone 1 on MW2 engine (Which is not bad, the MW2 engine is S tier, great and hopefully will be used in other CoDs titles in next years). That being said the WZ2 is just blank. There are things to do but there is almost nothing new. Gun play is nice, audio is nice, graphics are nice but thats all because of MW 2, not Warzone. It didnt really come with anything new when it comes to gameplay and BR is all about gameplay. (But plus for proxy and general chat)

But, its free, so feel free to try it out and see how things are.

Great game, 100% Worth getting. It is not perfect but it is worth the money already and it will get better with time as well (More Features, mods, new content and much more). For someone who loves politics, laws, economy and such more, this is must have game. To me, it is the ultimate PDX game.

One of the best games ever made.

Glory to Ukraine. Great game / series

Cheap, Fun, Unique & ADDICTIVE.

Hopefully, we will get workshop support once the game is fully released.

Great and cheap way to fully enjoy CK2. 100% worth it

+ Outstanding combat mechanics
+ Expansive game world
+ Vast and diverse locations, both central to the main storyline and concealed
+ Incentives for exploration, including unique items, hidden locales, and engaging NPCs
+ Abundance of weapons, shields, spells, gear sets, and more
+ Exceptional and immersive art style
+ Memorable soundtrack (Mostly, but OST could've been better)
+ Fully realized open world
+ Mount system

- Repetitive use of the same enemies and bosses throughout the game world, even transforming once-formidable bosses into regular foes
- Suboptimal balancing of difficulty, leading to potential over-leveling and a resultant ease in combat, which can diminish the overall challenge and excitement
- Lackluster design for caves and mines (Dungeons), characterized by repeated presets and underwhelming final bosses that offer little resistance
- A substantial portion of dungeons serves little purpose unless hunting for specific weaponry or optimizing your character build

While Elden Ring does grapple with a few notable issues, it ultimately emerges as an exceptional gaming experience. It's undoubtedly worth the wait.

Having completed all the Soulsborne games, I wouldn't categorize Elden Ring as the pinnacle of the Souls series. However, it effectively amalgamates elements from Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Dark Souls 3, resulting in a satisfying and unique game.
