I cannot sing the praises of Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3) enough - it is easily the best game I've ever played. This game is absolutely fantastic, and is everything I could ever imagine in a tactical, turn-based rpg.

I love how much effort has been put in to making so many interactions feel worth while, and rewarding the player for fully exploring all the options available to them. The game's ability to give you freedom to design your character, choose your solution to various problems, and make important decisions that affect the world and characters in it makes this game an absolute joy to play through. The story is monumental in the way it details the potential end for Faerun and the climax is so beautifully wrapped up - there are very few games that complete a story in such a satisfying way. The design of each area has been incredibly detailed and the themes and sounds that accompany each area or fight is just epic in every way.

The biggest strength to this game is easily the characters in the world - both the playable companions and the enemies that you face. Each enemy feels more challenging than the last, and the more you uncover about your companions, the more interesting the story gets (and it is very easy to get invested in their respective arcs). I find myself struggling to pick a team of 4 since I would love to have all of the companions in my party, and with the ability to change the classes of your companions to fit your party needs, you are never short on options with which to handle events and quests.

The only negatives I can give at the moment would be two glitches in Act 2. One of the glitches relates to the Lady Shar's temple transporter, and the other relates to a rescue at Moonrise Towers. Otherwise, the game was solid all-round.

Overall, this game is just fantastic. You can easily sink hundreds of hours into this trying different strategies, characters and difficulties because the world of Baldur's Gate 3 feels incredibly well developed. It's worth noting that Divinity Original Sin 2 (DOS2) (same game developed by Larian Studios) is similar in it's turn-based elements, but is slightly different in terms of combat and ability check interactions (DOS2 is still definitely worth checking out if you loved BG3). Baldur's Gate 3 is easily one of my favourite games that I have played, and even though I've sunk over 100 hours into one playthrough so far, I could easily see myself trying new classes and choosing different story paths because the game is just that good. Absolutely recommend.

This game is awesome. Easy to pickup, hard to master rally game with a focus on retro cars. There are 7 locations that all look stunning and offer different challenges with the various track layouts. The soundtrack is fantastic, and makes the game super chill, whilst still being engaging. This is a great game to keep coming back to for a couple hours at a time. If you like rally games, pick this up :D

I highly recommend you avoid this game until patches fix the community creations problem.

The game allows for 100 CAW's, but it cannot support even half of that before the game starts to crash. Some people have suggested that it's based on the amount of images required for logos on the CAW's, meaning the more detailed the wrestler and the more of them you have, the more likely your game will crash.

The loading times have never been great when using created arenas and wrestlers, but it feels like no real improvements have been made compared to previous games, when it comes to spending time editing move-sets and attires - it takes far too long.

The game does have upsides which improve on previous games but in my opinion, one of the most important features of the WWE 2K games lineage was the community creations. Being able to create wrestlers not in the game (either from other promotions; or bygone eras), and putting them to use in the Universe Mode in an expanded roster; was easily the best mode for me. Even wild fantasy matches like pitting Jushin Liger vs Undertaker for the hell of it, gave these games much more mileage than any of the other modes offer.

Now that I can't even play the game (since it is taking me ages to load up the game and even longer to go and manually delete CAW's) because of this bug/crash issue; I can't recommend this game to anyone who's main interest is the creation suite. Wait until it's fixed - you'll be saving yourself alot of time.

You don't need to delve far to know how much effort went into this game, and it's absolutely awesome. It captures both the silly and the serious side of broadcasting, and it does so brilliantly. This game is able to make puns, cynical comments, and have hilarious acting; whilst telling you a story of political manipulation, and diving into darker topics with incredible ease - and it's fascinating to watch.

With options to allow adjusting difficulty; multiple branches in terms of the story narratives; and other modes outside of the main story; this game is an innovative broadcast simulation that I highly recommend you pick up.

You'll laugh; stress out because everything's gone to sh*t and you missed that swear word and "oh god why am I on camera 2 still?"; and then you'll laugh some more. Great gem of a game.
