Helldivers 2 is like a team-building exercise on steroids. Picture this: you're trying to call in an airstrike, but oops, you accidentally nuke your buddy instead. It's hilarious chaos that'll have you laughing, crying, and screaming, "Sorry, Steve! I thought you were a bug!"

The enemies? Oh boy, they're wild. From alien bugs to cyborg automatons, it's like space Vietnam with PTSD included. And forget chess; this game is the real test of tactical genius. You'll be dodging fire, coordinating with your squad, and accidentally stepping on your own landmine. Classic.

But it's not all smooth sailing. Friendly fire? Yeah, that's a thing. Toss a grenade at your teammate by mistake and congrats, you've got a new crater in your friendship. And those in-game briefings? Blink and you've missed them. Good luck deciphering mission objectives while dodging lasers and shouting, "What do you mean with that there are not any reinforcements left?"

Overall? Helldivers 2 is chaotic, unpredictable, and downright hilarious. It's the game where "Oops, my bad!" becomes a battle cry.

Disclaimer: No actual friendships were harmed during the making of this review. Maybe.

Fallout Tactics feels like that one friend who always shows up late to the party and then spills their drink on the carpet. First off, it's as buggy as a picnic in a swamp, especially on newer Windows systems like 11. I wasted more time trying to get it to run than actually playing the darn thing.

The real-time mode is passable, but the turn-based mode? It's like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded - frustrating and downright confusing. And let's not even talk about the frame rate issues. It's like watching a slideshow at times.

The levels are decent, I guess, but the plot? It's as exciting as watching paint dry. And don't even get me started on the Steam version. It's like they poured a bucket of glitches and called it a game.

But hey, it's not all bad. The level design is alright, and the sound design? Pretty solid. But when it comes to gameplay, it's a mixed bag. Real-time combat is bearable, but VATS? It's like herding cats.

Overall, the game might be worth a shot if you're a glutton for punishment. Just be prepared to spend more time troubleshooting than actually enjoying the game.

Fallout 2 is like the wilder, crazier sibling of the first game. It's a blast, but man, it's got some issues. The pacing can be slower than molasses, and the combat and AI are just plain clunky. Still, if you stick with it, the game offers a deep RPG experience with tons of freedom to do whatever you want.

But here's the kicker: if you're thinking of getting it on Steam, don't bother. The Steam version is a hot mess, with bugs and issues galore. Plus, it's censored, so you're missing out on some of the grit and dark humour.

Do yourself a favour and track down a hard copy or find the GOG version instead. It's worth the extra effort to play the game the way it was meant to be played.

Fallout is like the OG of post-apocalyptic RPGs, laying the groundwork for one of the coolest franchises out there. It's a trip down memory lane for hardcore fans and anyone into retro gaming. But for a 2000s kid like me, it's a bit too vintage to fully vibe with.

The Steam version? Well, let's just say it's like putting stickers on a Picasso - totally ruins the masterpiece. From invisible kids to missing dialogue, it's a mess. Luckily, there are fixes, but it sucks you have to jump through hoops to play it right.

Despite the hiccups, Fallout still has that old-school charm. But if you're itching to explore the wasteland, I'd recommend steering clear of Steam and checking out other options like GOG or snagging a physical copy for a smoother ride.

Really nice little game that you can experience for free.

The graphics are impressive and the movement is really fluid. Although the game is not perfect as it has performance issues for the type of game it is , it can be completed in less than half an hour. The level design could be improved, and the health boxes should be implemented differently as they make the game too easy. It would be great if this game had a leaderboard as it would add a lot of replayability value to the game and fit with the speedrun vibe.

Looking forward for a complete game with new & upgraded levels, new music and mechanics.

Picture this: waking up in a forest, a crow urging you to build a shelter. You scavenge resources, only to discover the harsh reality of gravity and architectural principles. Surviving raids and battling moldy houses become part of the routine, all while scavenging for food and materials.

Combat's no joke. You can't just wander into tough areas unprepared. Gear up, eat right, and brace yourself for epic showdowns. Ever faced off against a deer with chains on its antlers while metal music blares? Valheim's got that kind of insanity.

Graphics are decent, with a unique charm. And the physics? Top-notch, whether you're chopping trees or witnessing realistic falls.

Crafting's solid, though some recipes could use a tweak or two. With all the exploration, fighting, and crafting, time slips away before you know it.

Sure, it's not perfect. Talking about updates, having just one extra biome in 3 years is kinda mid. But if you're into survival games with a Nordic flair, Valheim's a must-try. It's got that addictive sandbox vibe that keeps you hooked.

Project Zomboid isn't just a game; it's a zombie apocalypse simulator. And let me tell you, it's one hell of an experience.

The game's premise is simple: survive in a world overrun by zombies. But don't be fooled by its simplicity; Project Zomboid is anything but easy. In fact, it's frustrating as hell, unfair as hell, and tense as hell. But you know what? That's exactly how a zombie apocalypse should feel like.

Navigating through the streets, scavenging for supplies, and fending off hordes of the undead is a constant struggle. Every decision you make could mean life or death, and trust me, death comes swiftly and mercilessly in this game.

But despite its unforgiving nature, Project Zomboid is incredibly immersive. The multiplayer aspect, in particular, takes the experience to a whole new level. Playing with friends makes the game ten times better, adding an extra layer of tension and camaraderie to the already intense gameplay.

Sure, the wait for updates can be agonizingly long. But with each update, the game evolves and improves, bringing new challenges and experiences to the table. And with the promise of NPCs in the next update, I can't help but feel excited for the future of Project Zomboid.

In the end, Project Zomboid isn't just a game you play; it's an experience you live. So grab your survival gear, rally your friends, and prepare yourself for the ultimate test of survival in the zombie apocalypse.

Space Engineers isn't your average game; it's like being handed the keys to an interstellar Lego set. You get to design your own ships and space stations, and let me tell you, that's where the real fun begins.

Sure, there's a bit of a learning curve at the start, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be engineering like a pro. And let's talk about the physics engine – it's a bit wonky at times, but it's also what allows you to create some seriously cool structures.

Now, the game's survival mode might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the real appeal lies in the building aspect. Seriously, you can spend hours just tinkering away, designing the perfect ship or base.

But here's where it gets really interesting – mods. With mods, you can basically do whatever you want. Want to add aerodynamics to your ships? Go for it. Want to explore vast oceans on alien planets? You can do that too. The possibilities are endless.

And let me tell you, it can get pretty wild. I once spent 20 hours designing a guided missile, only to end up discarding it because my C# code wasn't compiling correctly. Yeah, that's how complicated it gets.

So, if you're into engineering, creativity, and a bit of interstellar exploration, Space Engineers is definitely worth checking out.

Stardew Valley? It's like slipping into your favorite pajamas after a long day - warm, comfy, and just right. This game's got that 16-bit charm that feels like finding your cozy spot.

ConcernedApe (the only dev behind the game) is like the fairy godparent of gaming, sprinkling free updates and expansions that make the game feel like a warm hug. Seriously, playing it takes away that empty feeling and fills you up with all sorts of warm fuzzies.

Here's the thing I realized after finishing it - don't rush through. This game's like a fine wine; you gotta savor every sip. Whether you're flying solo or chilling with a buddy, it's like your own little slice of paradise.

No matter what you've played before, this game's gonna hit the spot. Each day brings a fresh adventure with plenty of NPCs to shoot the breeze with. And your farm? It's like your own personal canvas. Get creative and make it your own!

This game is the true definition of a labor of love. One developer poured their heart and soul into it, and it shows, thank you Eric.
