Gaslighting: The Game

I can't believe they made football 2

Just play League or DOTA instead

Cons:
- If getting stun-locked or cc'd for an entire match is your thing, this game is for you.
- Should've been F2P, but HiRez is known for their stupid decisions.

Pros:
Artstyle is nice though.

Beautiful and expansive world with well written characters and story.
If you don't have the hardware to run it now, wait till the game gets properly patched because it is worth at least one whole playthrough

Server browser no longer works making it unplayable

Dont let the hours deceive you, I put way more hours into this flaming pile of dog excrement than I'd like tho admit.
I will start off with the story, it's been praised as one of the best game stories and open world in recent history although I can see why people might see it this way I didn't.
I've now tried getting through the story 2 times I just cant get further than the first 2 hours before I turn it off it honestly doesn't appeal to me I guess its just not my type of game.

The multiplayer is where the real drama starts. The first few hours are a lot of fun if you play with friends the monthly updates always have plenty of content in them to keep you busy for a while and add a lot of new vehicles every time but thats where the fun ends most missions are bland and grindy and to get the vehicles you have to spend a absurd amount of money which you can only get by replaying the missions over and over again its clear that the developers want to sell their digital way of earning money called shark cards. Shark Cards are basicly the modern scumbag equivalent of money cheat codes, not to mention that these shark cards are stupid expensive.
If that isnt the biggest issue with the game it will be the hackers. In almost every online lobby you join there will be a hacker some friendly most scumbags that ruin the game for others by killing you over and over again or trapping you inside something untill theyre bored.

If you want help from Rockstars Support you wont find any on their site or social media its filled with automated responses you are better off just waiting the problem out

The game is a huge mess right now and not worth the money they ask for it, if you really want the game I am not stopping you but I would say wait till Rockstar actually gives a ♥♥♥♥ about their playerbase,

Let me just start of by saying: Do not watch any gameplay videos of this game that might spoil it for you. This game is a unique and powerfull experience you have to play through without any prior experience.

Hellblade is a game that does not shy away from depicting heavy subjects such as mental illness and death, subjects that people might find disturbing or straightout scary, there where times where I had to step away from the game because it got to me. Ninja Theory has done a phenominal job crafting such a beautiful and impressive world like no game studio has ever done before, every new enviroment I stepped into had me speechless and had me wanting to explore more.

I wont go into any details regarding the story, it really is something you have to experience yourself.
The game will advice you to play with headphones, absolutely do this the sound design and dialogue is fantastic to a point where I was not able to distinguish the difference from a sound in my room or a sound ingame.

Regarding the performance of the game; the overall game is really well optimised I was able to run most of it at a steady 60fps 1080p on maximum settings apart from a segment later in the game where I ran into a performance issue where AMD system would struggle to keep up 20fps this can become quite a bother but dont let this scare you away.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrafice is a unique and beautiful experience that everyone has to play at least once. Definetly a contender for game of the year in my book, and I highly recommend you play it too
