I wish steam had a neutral review option because I'm going to have to lean to one side or the other so I'm going to break my review down into two parts, who I'd recommend this game to, and who I wouldn't recommend this game to then get into the positives and the negatives.

I would recommend this game to people who actively have a large friend group (up to four people) who have free time to play this game thoroughly or friends that can readily be able to play the game with you and you're okay gambling randos (though even then I'd recommend one friend minimum). So long as you have at least one friend, but preferably three to four, this game is quite enjoyable.

However, I would not recommend this game to people who are like me and have no IRL friends, and the online friends I have their schedules clash with mine and I'm never able to play this game because it is not balanced for solo play. You can try to play with randos but expect to be kicked from people's lobbies or expect no one to join your campaign (I sat waiting for someone to join in my hellpod for nearly thirty minutes). And then, if you somehow get someone to play the game with you now expect them to leave in the middle of the match, or all of them, leaving you alone on a high difficulty mission. This is why I want to be neutral on it but because of my experience I really only have fun with friends and that is far and few in between. I've barely ranked up in the couple of hours I've played and I cannot invest the amount of time to get really far into the game, barely even making my way through the battle pass. As fun as this game is, I really cannot recommend it if you don't have people to play it with since randos just seem to screw you over too much.

The game play is mostly solid though I think balancing could be better. The games difficulty curve is quite insane. However, I've experienced a ton of bugs and my biggest worry was with the nGuard anticheat. I haven't had any major issues with it, however, I've had the game refuse to launch ten times in a row, back-to-back-to-back with the anticheat saying there was an error and it can't launch. I've glitched out into a bugged first person where I cannot swap out of first person and I'm stuck unable to see my weapons or anything. I hugged a friend in game once and it kicked me from his ship. Was doing a civilian extraction mission and they just glitched out and refused to enter into the area they needed, and a ton of other weird things going on. The game is fun, sure, but it is a mess at times. Some games go perfect and then you start seeing issues.

I'm leaving it a negative review because despite me enjoying it, my experience has been mostly negative even though I've enjoyed it. It is a good game, its just the weird little issues and only being able to play the game for a couple ours once or twice a week really makes me have to give it a negative review. If the game was properly balanced for single player and it was viable to play solo on some of the harder difficulties then yeah I'd give it a positive review, however, where it is, I'm going to give it a negative review

A game that blends the plots of the original three robocop movies with interesting characters, gameplay and story with an interesting look into Alex Murphy coupled with enough easter eggs to make fans of the franchise proud, this is a solid game. The non Auto 9 gameplay is terrible and clunky, but the auto 9 is oddly satisfying to use and makes you feel like an 80s action hero. Though you're not invincible like you are in the movies, the different abilities you have and the skill points allows you to get close to that. The game is enjoyable, and a love letter to a franchise that I loved as a child. I would highly recommend this game to anyone interested in Robocop.

The game is quite fun and addicting, with a ton of characters, items and mechanics that can be played giving varied game play styles. If you like rouge lite games then this game is a recommendation. The backpack system is a neat mechanic that provides some extra fun to the game as well. I'd recommend picking the game up if you have the chance

4000+ hours in and I haven't left a review. What I will say is the base game (no mods or anything) is okay, but you're limited with what you can do. The game gets fun when you start installing mods, getting maps, etc. More addons, the more fun. You can do whatever you want, create your own lil minigames or custom games. You can change how the game acts, pushing the already outdated Source Engine to its limits. Best of all is replaying the half life 2 campaign in GMod allowing you to have fun and change the gameplay up by a lot. Again, this is a game that you need to really think of what you're doing. You need to be creative, as the game isn't going to be that much fun if you're not trying to have fun. If you get bored then you just find something else that fits your interest. I don't think GMod is a game you can get bored of, and a game you can stop playing for a few months, and then come back to and find enjoyment again. I'd highly recommend this game if you just enjoy fun games that have no objectives and want to have fun. If you don't mind the challenge of making the game fun, then it is worth it.

Campaign was great. Zombies is fun but on par for modern cod zombies. I do have gripes such as leaning has been removed from campaign making shootouts a bit more tedious and a lot less enjoyable but aside from that honestly it is quite impressive despite being a modern COD game. Most COD games now adays are garbage but this one is somehow actually fun.

Edit : I've got almost 40 hours into the game and I can say that the game is quite enjoyable. Though the protagonists dialogue isn't for everyone, I find it quite funny at times. The action is quite fun, and the weapons though limited are still fun and entertaining. The skills are quite interesting and the abilities the player can use have applications. There is a lot that can be done in the game and I'm interested in finishing the game. The enemies are not too tough but still provide a good challenge and the first boss I came across (the HOG 7 if I recall) took me a bit to figure out how to handle it properly.

The writing isn't the best but it is still passable and interesting, with the dialogue sometimes not being the best. But that is really my only complaint with the game so far, with everything else being quite enjoyable. Some of the human characters are interesting and the conflict seems interesting as well.

To me my favorite part is the atmosphere of and the environment with it being science fiction and soviet. A lot of little details were crammed in there and it really adds to the aesthetic of the world. The worldbuilding, though not perfect, is still good.

After completing the game three times I can say that this game is a solid 9/10. Though a lot of issues, the game play, mechanics, story, and more, the game is quite enjoyable and the music sells it. I listen to a lot of Soviet music and they nailed it. This is perfect, the perfect game and I would love to play it again

The game is fun and great, I've played it so far for about 6 hours and it's quite enjoyable. It is basically a more complex and in-depth version of Phasmophobia. However, despite my praise, I've got a lot of issues with the game that ruins it and the enjoyment for me.

The first thing is how the ghost name system works. You have to find the ghost's passport?!? That makes no sense at all! You have a cellphone, why doesn't you have a note or something on that with the name and supposed age of the ghost on it? Just had a round where the ghost had a passport and her age was, get this, 124 years old!

The other issue I have is with the voice recognition. Oh man, OH MAN, the voice recognition is absolute garbage. I'm from the south, if you check out my live streams (sad plug, check Vladimir4757 out on Twitch or Youtube so you know that my accent is deep southern but it is a distinct southern accent) you'll realize that the voice recognition seems to hate you. And with the exile rituals requiring you to speak clearly or else bad things might happen, I've failed every ritual because the voice recognition couldn't understand me clearly saying "Olivia Johnson". It took it as "Bolivia Johnson"! Where did it get "Bolivia" from! And I've had so many other issues with the voice recognition. "A sign" turns into "a side", "Show yourself" turns into "Show a shelf", etc. Again, a good quality voice recognition system should be able to detect these but hte game seems to be using a mixed or lower quality one given the fact that it can't distinguish between these

Which brings me to my final gripe and that is the overall ghost room mechanics. Maybe I'm spoiled from playing phasmo but at times I'll get freezing once or twice, and never again, and be stuck between a ghost that is freezing or a ghost that isn't. Not only that, but finding hte ghost room is a pain in the ass (though it seems that ghost events lead you to them, more events such as manifestations or ghost appearing in front of you indicates that is or close to the room). In Phasmo the temperature would be distinct between where the ghost room is and the rest of the house, especially with the breaker on. In this game whereever the ghost goes the temp will fluctuate, making it difficult at times to find the ghost's room unless you have a ouija board. But maybe I'm just spoiled from playing Phasmo so much.

Besides these issues (and they're really just inconviences tbh), I'd highly recommend this game if you feel like you need some more variety to your ghost hunting game until Phasmophobia adds some more interesting or overhauled features. Right now, this is a more indepth and complex version of phasmo and I kinda enjoy it more at times.

So far the game is quite fun, however I've had several issues already. Despite the more polygon style graphics the game has some performance issues, despite my computer being a fairly decent one. On top of that, I've had crashes where an entire campaign cannot be done due to it. However, these are minor issues I've noticed and despite them, the game is incredibly fun and addictive and easy to play & to understand. I'd recommend it despite the issues I've found because it is such a great game.

Despite playing it mostly single player it's really fun. A lot of guides made playing it alone sound impossible but it isn't. Then-again I'm only 3 hours in but still, I haven't had a single problem. I've done the farm house and the town house and even finished a round at the high school. (granted it took a LONG time before I was able to get ghosts to start showing up in high school). I highly recommend this game as it's enjoyable and scary, providing a neat twist to the game.

I wish there was a "kinda recommend" because this game gave me mixed vibes. It was fun, but at the same time, I hated it. Part of the reason is that there are no clues or hints or anything helpful. Which makes the game very, very painful. Coupled with things being dark af, and you've got a game that is just plain brutal. Oh wait, there's more, you cannot crouch. You're being chased by monsters and someone decides "Let's not have a crouch button because why not?" However, when it isn't being frustrating, it is at least a fun and interesting game. On my rig using a Nvidia 1060 GPU, I easily get over 60FPS on high settings which is impressive. The story is good, as an author I was expecting one thing to be thoroughly surprised. It was fun, and interesting to say the least. I'm going to play it another time to see if I can get the rest of the achievements but still, fun game. I enjoyed it, though it was painful

PROS :
Excellent graphics, a Nvidia 1060 can handle this game excellently
There is a lot of detail and interactivity
The locations make sense and are thoroughly interesting

Neutral :
Voice acting was sometimes good, sometimes medicore
The hand monster thing is weird and not my forte
The souls or whatever can be a bit annoying
You get stuck on props, and you cannot jump
You cannot jump

CONS :
Extremely frustrating. The puzzles sometimes don't make sense, and other times you don't realize you're goal is to solve a puzzle
YOU CANNOT CROUCH
There are sections where I had to rely on either A.) Extremely high gamma to figure out what to do. B.) Use a guide to figure out where I'm supposed to go/do or C.) Both
