The good
This game is really fine and I have a Baldur's Gate 3 t-shirt, bed sheets, wallpaper, plates, cups, toaster, fridge and I also have the Baldur's Gate 3 logo branded on my bottom with a hot iron except it really hurts and it's hard to lie down and sleep at night.

No problem
To help my situation I built a real life mind flayer pod and asked peter my scientist friend to connect it to my computer so I can play the game with my mind and also sleep whilst standing up but it can get really weird when I order food with doordash and leave a note asking them to bring the food to my house and feed it into my mouth directly so I try to tip them 10 dollars extra to make it worth the effort.

Conclusion
One time my best friend Tim came dressed as a bear and reenacted one of my favourite scenes in the game but it was painful and I accidentally puked my crunchwrap supreme all over his face and he was extremely angry after that he almost clawed me to death but I told him it was an accident please forgive me and he felt bad for clawing me so he cried for a few seconds and then told me that the reason he was angry was actually because he drank too many jägerbombs in the morning.

Verdict: I would definitely recommend this game to people who have both a pen and also paper so it is a solid eleventeen out of eleventeen from me.

I am a 42 year old sentient bio-mechanical experiment, a hybrid born in a scientific lab, probably one of the strongest and most intelligent people playing this game. I am a single father to my android son, who is now fully sentient after we upgraded his firmware.

My son recently started playing this game, and in less than a week he had already played for over 9000 hours due to his innate ability to manipulate space-time. This was terrible for me, as it was already hard enough for me to spend regular time with my son, as he always appeared unresponsive due to the massive power required to maintain his state of slowed-time for prolonged periods.

I decided to register a Steam account and acquire the game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game, completed the tutorial but I was stuck on what you are supposed to do due to a failure with my optical circuitry. I asked my Son for help and he connected his interoperability cable into my android debug bridge located at the base of my titanium skull. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since discovering the meaning of the universe.

This game has ever since brought my son and I closer again, and now we actually spend regular-time together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy stored ones and zeroes.

If you're an MCU fan then grab this game, especially on-sale. The negative reviews here are disheartening because this game HAS a ton of heart and a great script. The pacing is right and it has all the feelgood factors that you'd expect from an Avengers story. In a nut-shell, it's about bringing people together in order to defeat the villainous scourge, and best of all, the main protagonist is relatable.

All the people review bombing due to the lack of Spider-Man may not realise that Sony and Disney are the reason for the exclusivity. Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics do not deserve bad rep for this, especially since Spider-Man himself does not have a fully fledged campaign on the PlayStation version. You can engage in Hero events with him, but that's about it - it's really not worth the fuss. If you're more of a Spidey fan, I recommend playing Marvel's Spider-Man and Miles Morales instead.

When Marvel's Avengers was first released, it was lacklustre with campaign content totalling approximately 12 hrs if you plodded straight through without completing the side-missions, but it has since received new playable characters incl. Black Panther, Hawkeye and Kate Bishop. There are new stories, villains and a ton of gameplay adjustments. The dev team have delivered with their roadmap thus far, and the game will also see continual development throughout 2022.

Cosmetics aren't purely locked behind a pay-wall. There are plenty of unlocks that can be attained without feeling like you are forced to empty your wallet, and it is possible to begrudgingly grind for credits. It isn't too much of a timesink if you focus on combat challenges, since they can be very easily completed in the HARM training rooms.

The graphics and production value are of an incredibly high standard, and the game is playable even on Low detail settings with a relatively under-powered graphics card such as the GTX 1050 Ti. You may infrequently experience crashing due to VRAM limitations and what appears to be a lack of engine optimisation, but it is tolerable. I have experienced a handful of crashes during my campaign playthrough even with an RTX 2080 Super, but I am playing with the high resolution textures DLC enabled and a custom ReShade profile.

I've found that it is best to install this game on an SSD, set Texture Quality to High or Medium since you will net a considerable FPS increase, and the perceivable visual difference is negligible even on 4K screens. There are comparison videos on the internet that demonstrate this quite well.

All in all, I highly recommend this game if you can pick it up at around the $15 or $20 price point. I took the plunge, and as a huge Marvel fan I absolutely do not regret it. Sidenote, it's awesome to hear Nolan North as Tony Stark!

Early Access Review
This is how I would imagine a world created by David Firth might regurgitate into existence. It appears to be the only Steam game I've discovered that comes close to satiating the inexplicably, fantastically dark and weird part of my brain. The part where I ask existential questions and revel in disgust. A bit like a scary but wholly intriguing abstract dream.

Top marks for including a bicycle with a talking skull and a old radio, and a lonesome giant with elongated arms performing an extremely depressing rendition of a favourite Beethoven piece.

The mind and the gut are intrinsically linked. Exquisite and reflective, to me at least.

This should be included as a standard application for Windows 10.

Early Access Review
A truly magical experience that pays testament to the more punishing games from the 80s. You play to build your skill and knowledge of the world. Seek true wisdom.

Noita is a captivating platformer, not just because of its gratifying pixel-physics and elemental properties, but the tastefully produced sound effects and music too! It's a sort of tribal, medieval druid jazz kind of dig. It exudes, quite literally, lore building potential and I hope this Early Access experience is only a taster of what is to come.

It has been compared to Spelunky, but for me it plays like a cross between the 1988 jet pack platformer Exile, and the 1983 classic Pharaoh's Curse. Two of my favourite games of all time. Very highly recommend for all that appreciate action roguelites, chemistry and physics.

I don't want difficulty levels, and I don't want it to be easy. Keep experimenting with adding new and fantastical ways of creating chaos. I would greatly welcome additional biomes, mysteries, quirky enemies and also the introduction of simple puzzles that rely on the correct manipulation of your environment.

Side note: I produced a spell tome for those who wish to polymorph their screen into a Cathode-ray tube https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1879844452

Nolla Games, you have created a classic. Thank you and keep up the fantastic work.

This game is a gem that must not be overlooked, especially if you're detail oriented and enjoy a truly dark, ravaging western setting. I empathise if you're normally turned off by the battle royale archetype. DayZ was first hit to take me in, and I was disinterested with almost everything after that.

Hunt Showdown is not an aimless experience rotting from the inside. Absolutely not. You're closing rifts in order to siphon Wellspring energy and save yourself from eternal damnation! You can bounty hunt terrifying monsters inspired by the Cthulhu mythos. You can be a highly customisable trigger happy gunslinger, or a stealthy, patient hunter.

Each round is a unique, unpredictable, visceral experience both visually and aurally. The attention to detail, especially with regards to audio, is nothing short of s-p-e-c-t-a-c-u-l-a-r. Dashes added for emphasis, of course. Fine work indeed! The sound of an axe or bullet hitting you is unnervingly realistic and scary, to the point where I have lost count how many times it has caused me to physically jump out of my seat.

There are uninformed negative reviews coming in from people subjectively complaining about the recent User Interface changes, and the addition of micro-transactions. We are not talking about pay-to-win transactions either, so the complaint is moot. Hunt recently transitioned from Early Access to Release, so they revised the UI for consistency and readability sake. Is it perfect? No. My initial take was positive, and the new UI is not in any way a hindrance.

After dying, you can spectate. This might seem like a mundane fact, but because the combat is so dynamic and unpredictable, it is immensely enjoyable to watch through the eyes of another Hunter. How will they meet their fate? How long can GordonButtEyes last in that eerie and janky house after laying down traps at all entry points?

This game also couples very well with the Westworld soundtrack playing lightly in the background.

I encourage you to partake.

Thank you CryTek for this fantastic game, and congratulations with the 1.0 release.

Hinterland, now where do I start with this exquisite jar of perfection? I would like to start inside the jar, natutrally. Inside this jar there are a lot of tiny little characters running about, all collecting rogue dust particles that have collected whenever it has been opened. The game has nothing to do with jars or dust particles, it's just a really great game. Really. Buy it today because it can actually cure carpal tunnel syndrome.
