this took me 7.9 hours to finish . it was worth every penny and every minute . this was immersive, and interesting . bravo.

The loot is really good in this game which is the most important part of a looter . all the other looter shooter games should take notes . voice acting ranges from amazing to horrible depending on the character you are talking to , Mostly really good tho . i have made it to endgame with one class and played the other 3 classes a decent amount each . Server issues aren't as bad as launch but I am still experience the occasional server problem and here it is now the 13th of April . so right at 2 weeks after launch . it has a nasty inventory bug about 20 percent of players have had and it has some issues with balance they are trying to solve . but over all the game is just really fun with the core parts and gameplay being done really well. I feel over all happy with the game and look forward to many more hours even just in this content . Hoping they eventually decide to give a DLC but the product here is good . The game gets some unfair treatment but .. lets be real here gamers love acting like children over game launches . Super solid looter game with some bugs that need sorting out . if you just want to play something fun now then buy it . If you have the patience to wait a couple more weeks and let them solve the issues .. maybe that is best . but i can't say anyone shouldn't buy it if they want it being as i have really enjoyed all 42 hours of gameplay so far.

I have overall enjoyed this game as one of my favorite games. It isn't perfect tho. content releases are slow , Mistlands isn't fun and is very annoying to be in. The one saving grace of mistlands is the Queen battle with friends is challenging and fun, well and the magic you get from there. I would think mistlands was maybe just not for me but my friend group all hated it too.

sometimes it can be a bit too grindy setting your materials to x1.5 feels much better but not game breaking compared to default.

The game up through plains is chill and full of adventure . just a 10 out of 10
Mistlands is a 5 out of 10 being generous.
Ashlands is a 8 out of 10 .

Ashlands is not like the first set of biomes as it is more late game and you will be constantly in battle . it is harder than any other location to grind materials or build. It feels like you have reached a bad bad place where you weren't meant to be . it feels dangerous and I appreciate that , I don't know if everyone will . It will depend on the person .. but at the end of the day .. thank god it isn't mistlands.

This game released like poo , but it is legit , no joke .... at this point in time , my favorite action rpg of all time.

This is cooler than it looks. and it looks very cool . do with that what you will . 3 hours in and i am still pealing back layers. best steam purchase i have made in awhile.

I picked this up as a game for my little girls to just click on cats . I always check out what i buy for them myself before i let them play to be sure it is something ok for them to play and also something they can actually play with their skills as little kids and not too advanced. i just finished clicking away on cats for awhile. I will most likely have to find everything myself once ... why ? because for some reason i couldn't stop clicking on cats and opening things . addictive . even at .6 hours tho i have a good bit of the stuff found and the achievements . so i know it is short but it barely costs any money . totally worth it for the hour or 2 it takes to 100 percent it . and really worth it if you needed a good little game for your little girls or something like that .

super cool demo , extra pumped to see what the full release is like .

Really rewarding flight sim , but it isn't a game , seems like some people expect loops but it is more of a aviation sandbox . If you have a desire to simulate some aviation or if you just want to turn down the realism and tour the world ., then this will hold your attention.

Besides a few bush flights and some landing challenges you basically are setting up your own goals and flights . the gameplay loops just aren't there if you are thinking it is like american truck simulator and you are going to own a company running people around in planes saving up to expand your company and buy more planes you are wrong . that doesn't happen here . i think it is a missed opportunity by microsoft to not include some career mode like that being as so many people who typically aren't interested in sims are very interested in MFS2020 at the moment . I enjoy american truck simulator because of that aspect myself . but here ? no dice kiddos .

For the sim guy this will offer tons of play for the guy looking for gameplay loops this will most likely feel like a giant empty earth with nothing to do because you just don't care to entertain yourself with it. just shooting it strait . and on day one performance was pretty bad for me and i run a pretty stout pc , but oddly enough day 2 and 3 have been great performance wise . not sure , maybe it was an issue with the servers that stream the data on day one ? but it is hitting on all cylinders now . also keep in mind you can buy the upgrades like deluxe and premium in the game from the game marketstore inside the game so don't feel obligated there .
If you really want you can try it by subscribing to the xbox live pc subscription on your microsoft store or whatever and play the standard edition before dropping the cash here then if you want it on steam just drop the service and buy it here . hope this helps someone .

AH going back and finishing this was the best thing i did with my gaming time in quite awhile.

Wife says i am crazy . I drive all night , come home and drive a virtual truck in the bedroom for a little bit. She doesn't understand why i would do that.
