You can play a good game or you can play Devils & Demons.


It's your choise!

P.S Game is utter butter garbage.

Let me begin with stating that you shouldnt look at this as an review but just a highly subjective opinion of a fairly new player. With that said let's see what do i think about Elder Scrolls Online.

I would like to keep this pretty short so i'm going to start with little conclusion ( yes conclusion at the beggining - neat i know ) and then few pros,cons and few things i find in a middle here.

For me personally this game only works if i play it as a single-player offline elder scrolls game ( as much as it is actually possible in a mmo game ) . Enjoying views , getting into quest lines, reading all the lore , basically trying to immerse myself into the world as much as possible . Now once i'm forced to interact with MMO part of the game it just falls apart for me. I've quit playing MMO games some 10 years ago and it was for a good reason and while ESO solves some of MMOish problems pretty well it's still an MMO game with all the unsatisfying things it comes with.

And now few pros and cons and things i find servicible in this game just to illustrate my view of the game a little bit better.

Great things :
+ Gorgeous environments ( mostly ) . While they are not stunning all across the board i still find myself stopping everyu five or so minutes to take a screenshot because of how enjoyable to look at this game can be at times depending on a location.
+ It's fully voice acted and while some of the voice acting is hardly good i still find it pretty impressive keeping in mind how much content this game has to offer .

Middling things :
+- Amount of content. " How the hell a lot of content can be a bad thing " you ask me ? Welp it's overwhelming at points. You can't move 10 steps without encoutering a new quest and it's can get really really distracting. And quality of quests are... hit and miss . Some immensely enjoyable , some just a chore to get through. I would prefer less but better quests.

Things which are not so great :
- Strangely enough a class system . Let me explain . Maybe it's because i grew up playing classic cRpg games but i find classes here really pointless and confusing. You can basically play any class in any way you see fit ( mage tanks and warrior mages ) and while that sounds good and gets you through a content i do miss feeling of really playing a class and filling a
definitive role. You can do anything and be everything but at the end you feel like ... nothing . I've already changed 3 characters and still cant find one which would feel 'right' to me.

Now there are way more aspects of a game i have opinion on but let's just keep it on a short side huh ? I'm not that good at writting such things anyway.

Just to close this i would like to state that i most definitely can recommend this . I've paid 9.99$ for it on sale and already got around 40 hours from it and i think i'm good for another 40 for sure so it's just amazing value any way you look at it.

Book of Demons is this interesting case for me there everything indicates that i will like and enjoy a game but after playing a little bit of it something just doesnt click no matter what.

I cant fault a single aspect of a game for that, everything is done really nicely with nice degree of quality but i think it's mostly because of how tedious and monotonous combat gets after very brief playtime.

I would love to love this game but .... i can't.

UPDATE : So after forcing myself through few more dungeons i think i'm finally starting to understand why is this game so unenjoyable to actually play.

Do you like to actually play games? Well you are not in luck with this one... This game really not gonna let you do that. Every single enemy freezes you , kicks you , slows you, poisons you , multiplies into 10 smaller enemies who then freezes you etc etc.

Every single boss spends 3/4 time in immunity state , teleporting out of your view , you then need to follow him to agrroe even more foes and sometimes more bosses... it's just endless '♥♥♥♥ hits the fan' festival.

Worst part is that's not even challenging , just time consuming. You will eventually kill that boss with 10 thousand shields and immunity stages and all you get from that is hurting hand from all that clicking.. nothing else.

Never got around to writing rieviw for Vermintide 1 so here at least goes review for the second one.

For little reference i've played around 60 hours of first one and at the time of writting this i've played around 20 hours of second one so i'm far from hardcore player who knows every nook&cranny and understands this game inside out , i'm just casual player and this is very casual review .

Vermintide 2 seems like.... just more of Vermintide really. I've stopped playing first one after around 60 hours because honestly i have felt like game was exhausted for me personally ( i've still had reds to collect and nightmares to complete but didint feel the interest anymore in doing so ) and i have a feeling that same will happen here. Probably after 20-30 hours more i will get bored of running same missions ( NOTE : I didint buy any DLCs for the first one so that reduced my potential time in game ) and this new loot box/item system they made for Vermintide 2 doesnt really add much for me and doesnt feel like something that will keep me hooked for any additional amount of time.

Despite that this game is as fun and great as Vermintide 1 was :) Even more so with extra ways to play each class and different sub-classes for each one of them. It does run way better and looks way way better as well. I just love how some of more open maps feel...visually stunning game.

All i can say that is that just buy it :) For what they ask for it you will get your money's worth and even more if you enjoy these types of games . You as me might not get hundreds of hours ( as some people do ) here but definitely some 30-40hours of super fun and well made game.

Tomb Raider is a great game. Not the greatest game ever but really really solid confined experience with beggining and the end which is something you start value more and more with age and limited time for games.

What i've enjoyed was good writting,really nice set pieces ( even though some of them were tiny bit over the top ) , very very fluid combat system and overall production values of the game. It has multiplayer but i haven't touched it since it doesnt look like a worthy thing to spend time on .

What i havent enjoyed was how easy this game was ( even on Hard ) . I dont think i have died a single time in combat only from fails while climbing/jumping and in latter game ammunition is so plentyful you will never run out of it. Also game's end was a bit anticlimactic for me , i've expected more from it ... it just sort of ended on a fart.

Overally i've beaten game on Hard with 3/4 of collectibles found in 13hours which is on a short side i'd say but i cant say i'm dissapointed . Time i've had in this game was great and i can easily recommend it for everyone.

I would like to write review for this game but all i can do for now is write review of it's technical issues.

I've installed it yesterday , played for about 1.5 hours and had an okay experience all together so i've decided to play some more this morning and it just doesnt work anymore. All i get now is black screen which completely freezes up my PC ( only physical restart helps ) . Tried all sort of fixes known to mankind but nothing helps and forums seems useless for getting any answers .

I really cant recommend this mess.

Dead Cells is just.... good? I mean it's just literally good all around and i cant think of a single bad thing to say about it.

It looks amazing, sounds spectacularly and is balanced very and i mean very well. For a tough rogue-lite game it's vitaly important to make every death seems like fair one and of your own making and Dead Cells nails that beautifully - every single time i died it never felt like game was screwing me over , it was all me making mistakes and paying the price for it.

I cant recommend it enough!

Maybe i was expecting unreasonable things from this game but it leaves all around bad feeling once you finally get to play it.

It looks like right up my alley - i love turn based games and setting looked like particularly interesting one though once i booted it up it took about an hour to get completely frustrated and bored. Everysingle aspect of game seems somehow underdeveloped or to just miss a mark all together . Really hard to explain but game just feels.... wrong.

Anyway cant recommend it from my stand point. Though i must say i really hope they will try to make Hard West 2 and that i would be way more solid game .

I imagine buying this game then it was launched was quite a dissapointment. All the pre-order nonsense plus the fact that game is quite rough around the edges should have been a hard sell for 60$.

Now , if you buy into it today, for maybe ~20$ this is quite a different experience all together. Game lacks polish in some areas , is quite short and ending at least for me wasnt very satisfying BUT for that price it qualifies as quite a nice game . I can see a value in replaying in , it has quite nice selection of side quests and as every deus ex game you have a lot of freedom on how to approach your mission.

If you can get it for under ~20$ i'd say go for it!

Warhammer Quest is not a good game sadly.

I've came to it knowing that it's not going to be a smash hit and still gave it a best and most sincere chance i could and i'm still dissapointed . At it's best it's mediocore but all other time it's just plain bad.

RNG is ridiculous , combat and dungeons boring , selection of free heroes is so very small and all other costs real life money..it looks and sounds amateurish as well not that it really matters for me .

All in all a very meh experience which most likely wont even be fun for warhammer fan ( it wasn't for me ) .
