Very hard at first, don't expect to get attached to any gladiators until you have at the least a Hospital built. You will be required to take out a few loans at first, but if you bet wisely you can easily make enough Denarii to repay loans in full quite quick. The game really starts once you reach the second City as at this point you will have 6 building slots instead of 3, making the game a lot easier and more fun.

In the first city or two, you may have to forfeit a couple of matches due to your gladiators being injured or fatigued, don't be afraid to forfeit it really doesn't have much of a penalty for doing so. Just make sure to win enough matches in a season to advance to the next city. It's far more beneficial to forfeit if your gladiators aren't fit to fight than to force them to fight injured or fatigued as they will almost definitely die.

As for equipment degrading, I don't think it's too much of a problem once you get a Weaponsmith/Armoursmith.

I've really enjoyed this game so far and have just reached Rome, glory and prestige awaits.

I highly recommend putting enough points into each Gladiators Stamina to have at the very least 2 attacks per turn, depending on class. I really like to max out my gladiators' Dodge bonus too and put perks in the tree for healing when you get a successful dodge.

Fantastic game.

Please be patient with this game as it doesn't really start until you reach Stage 6 and even then it takes time to build a decent card catalogue.

However if you have the patience to stick it out past Stage 6 (which doesn't take too long to reach) then the game begins and you can start to take part in events and pvp duels.

You get a lot of Gems for free, gems are used to buy set decks as well as card packs. You get so many gems that it isn't necessary to spend any real life money to get good cards and to me that makes it more likely for me to purchase a pack or two from time to time as I don't feel forced to.

The game has almost infinite playability as there are lots of characters to unlock and even more cards to collect. For myself and as I imagine, for a lot of others Yu-Gi-Oh is very nostalgic and this game captures that nostalgia perfectly with references to the original anime and iconic cards.

The game features a 'Duel School' for those who are unfamiliar with the game mechanics and can easily learn very complex card mechanics with this feature as well as earn a few gems to use in the store.

TL;DR: Fantastic card game for any card gamer or fan of the anime series.

NOTE: I do not recommend getting the game as it is; you might as well wait until a complete version comes out in a year or so once they finish pumping out DLCs.

I am reviewing this as a Total War game and not a Warhammer one.

What started out as an absolutley fantastic Total War game quite quickly became nothing more than a Cash Cow. (Let's face it, they announced Chaos as a pre-order bonus a year before it even came out. Admit it guys, that was the faction everyone wants the most. B*llsh*t marketing schemes from the start.)

The actual gameplay itself is a hell of a lot of fun, however as more and more overpriced DLCs flood the market the base game gets a little less fun. It's still entirely possible to win battles and overall the campaign, but if you have only the base game you'll be missing out on a lot. For example they have now released 'legendary' units which in essence are the same as the original units but are that bit more powerful. If you don't own the DLC the AI should not be able to use assets from the DLC.

By the time they finish pumping out DLCs for this crap it'll cost you well over £120 to buy the full game. Most definitley not worth it.

With each new release of Total War games you get less and less factions to choose from and play as. There were 4 factions available to play as (5 if you pre-ordered or paid £6) when the game was released.
The campaign feels extremely short, even if you try to take your time and battles last between 5-10 mins depending on the size of it.

Please don't get me wrong, the addition of magical units and General units being their own man is a great addition. There are lots of great things about this game and it really is fun to play. The thing for me however is that the negative aspects about the TW franchise are starting to outweigh the good.

TL;DR - The game is a lot of fun, but the extreme amount of DLC that SEGA force CA to make is killing the franchise. It's a shame that you can release a half finished game and then sell the rest of the stuff that should be in it anyway to the customer for extortionate prices. IT feels like they add less and less to each new game aand sell it to us for as much money as they can take.

Thank you very much if you managed to get his far.

It's a great game, it's just not a great Fallout game.

While the combat, animation, graphics as well as many other aspects of this game are spot on and are what we've wanted from Fallout for a while.

But on the other hand, there is a serious lack of a 'Fallout feel' to this game. Almost literally everything you come across you are supposed to kill, there are no NPC settlements other than Diamond City which is lacklustre at best.
This game feels like a completely seperate game to the Fallout series.

Fallout to me has always been about meeting people in the game and finding out what their 'deal' is; gone are those days with 4: See something, shoot it simple as that, there is nothing else to do.

The perk system is pretty pointless and almost all of them are useless.

I could go on but I won't I'll simply wrap it up with this:
Instead of filling the game with characters that you feel connections with and decent miscellanious quests, they hope that you're too busy building settlements and helping out Preston with the never ending Raiders to actually flesh the game out with content.

While I enjoyed the game, I got bored before I even finished the main story as there is literally nothing else worth doing. This is a pathetic excuse of a Fallout. It's literally worse than 3.

This is not a negative review, I just really do not recommend buying it as it currently is.

This game is great, it is a lot of fun and has so much replayability. The this is though the networking and servers for this game are terrible. It takes way too long to join a game and once you are in one you better hope the host doesn't leave.

Not only that the NAT settings are crazy, I had to forward so many ports for this game to work and now for some reason. Even though I have changed nothing, my NAT setting is back to 'Strict' instead of 'Open' meaning I can not play online.

EDIT: 27/11/2016 - To be able to get your NAT type from Strict to Open you must go into your router settings EVERYTIME you want to play and disable and re-enable uPnP. On a side note, not very many people play Terrorist Hunt mode anymore, some still do but on Normal difficulty only. There are still plenty of people who play online however.

Adds almost literally nothing to the game for an over whelming price. Totally worthless.

Early Access Review
By far the best and most realistic fishing game that I have ever come across. It also just happens to be FREE!

Absolutley amazing, a must play for any fishing enthusiast.

Absolutley fantastic and hilarious point and click adventure game. I've played through this game numerous times throughout my life and it definatley stands up with a spine of Titanium against the tests of time.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of adventure games and to anyone looking for something fun to play and have a good laugh while doing so.

For a free game, you get more than you bargained for. The game has a chilling atmosphere and a fascinating story.

The game features some very nice sound tracks and visuals. Each interactable object has various sound dialogues that have quite some depth to them. As you progress through the game, the story takes on an interesting turn and makes you a little emotional.

A full playthrough will take about an hour and is definatley worth it.

The one flaw that I can pick out is that the voice acting is a little dry, the actors could have put more emotion into it. But hey, it's free so I wasn't expecting Sir Ian McKellen to be featured.

EDIT: BY FAR THE WORST GAME IN HISTORY. The game is not only bad, but the Developers try to silence anyone who tries to warn others. I've submitted several discussions on the official page, only to find them removed withing seconds. (Oh also I paid £15 for this, it is now as of 27/11/2016, 0.99p that says it all.)

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

What in essence is a brilliant idea, with some really great features like a crafting system (even if it is exremely limited), that enables you to make some neat tools and equipment such as: a shelter to sleep in, a fishing rod, and a water pouch for when you're feeling parched. I was very interested in trying out this game the concept is great; the final product, not so much.

Unfortunately it turned out to be one of the worst games I've ever played, the opening cutscene; the part that is meant to encapture the interest of the player is riddled with glitches. It begins with the protagonist blubbering like a baby to some guy who didn't know if he wanted to stand up or sit down, stand on the desk or stand IN the desk. I was willing to overlook the awful animation and unforgivable glithy-ness if the gameplay was at least half decent.

But unfortunatley the gameplay turned out to be so dull that it makes smashing your face into a wall seem like entertainment. Don't be fooled by the trailer, the combat is... how can I put this... glitchy, no that's not it... terrible? Nope, that's not it either. I suppose the only real way to describe it would be "S**T!". The game begins with the player being dragged off to some temple to be sacrificed by some locals who are pissed that your helicopter crash landed into their friends, killing EVERYONE involved (other that you of course), you are then thrown into the worst combat that I've ever seen in any game, ever. Enemies seem to be able to attack you even though they clearly have a bad case of advanced rigormortism, I thought that they were zombies at first but alas, no, it's just more awful animation.

My advice is to save your money and play something else. At least until the developers can admit their mistakes and put some effort into making this game playable.
