Just leaving a comment after having played this game for hundreds of hours on Origin.
This is one of the best FPS of the last decade. It's super immersive and fun. Most people who complain about cheaters are people who aren't used to large scale battles.

Honestly if you enjoy football, just buy PES. It's much more in-depth than Fifa when it comes to Master League (the single-player manager mode), the footballing is so much better, so much more fluid, it's not unrealistic nor fast-paced. It's actually difficult to get used to, you have to make some last-minute decisions while on the pitch, you've got to calculate and plan your every move. The biggest bummer for me is the lack of official stadiums. The kits you can get them in 5 minutes. Just browse on Youtube how to find them and there'll be a couple of tutorial videos.

Having previously beaten Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, I felt as if I should take the time to beat this game. FO4 was my favourite out of the two I had played. Now Fallout New Vegas is my favourite of all of them and definitely earned a spot on my top favourite games.
I don't really have much to say. This game is simply incredible. Takes some time to get used to, but once you start playing and digging deep into the storyline, you'll understand how glorious and fantastic this game is. Exploration is rewarding. Choices really do matter. There are tons of reviews out there. This game is worth every penny you pay for it. A game that everyone should have and play. 10/10 a masterpiece.

So first and foremost I'd like to say that I bought this game as part of the Naruto Ninja Storm Trilogy Bundle. I'm not one to post reviews, I only really do it either when the game is awesome or it's really bad. Curiously, this game sits in-between.
I'm going to give you what you're looking for. The pros and the cons, nothing else.

PROS:

- The combat is tons of fun. Watching the characters fight, the ninjutsus, the combos, the ultimate jutsus, the giant battles, it's tons of fun. There's many different ways on how you can take down your opponent and for me that's a plus.

- Rewarding quests. Whether you're doing the sidequests or the main quests, it feels pretty rewarding to receive big chunks of cash to spend on whatever you want, really. Personally I enjoyed collecting the ingredients for different ramen, the treasure boxes, delivering ingredients to the shop to craft new items. It felt rewarding.

- Somewhat decent roster? For the amount of characters on Naruto, I think the roster was pretty decent.

CONS:

- The combat. Earlier I described the combat as fun. Now I'm going to tell you how frustrating it is. The substitution jutsu does NOT work well in this game. No matter how excellent you are at timing your clicks, it is entirely dependent on luck. Sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn't. This is not a problem in the early missions, but as you go through the higher levels you'll realize how annoying it is to not have a functional dodging mechanic.

- Storytelling. This is the biggest letdown of this game. In this game you only get a tiny paragraph telling you why you're going to fight, and at the end of each chapter you get a cutscene. Every mission felt the same, just with different characters. You didn't really feel like you had a reason to be fighting, you just do it because the game tells you to.

- Bugs. Some achievements do NOT work. They're bugged and Bandai Namco never bothered to fix them. Also, in my experience, with a 4K Ultrawide monitor, the game just crashes when you get into a battle. It doesn't work. Also my controller (Xbox360) stopped randomly while playing this game and I had to restart it for it to work.

I've detailed the things that I like the most and the things that annoy me the most. From my personal experience, the bugs in this game got me frustrated so many times that I just cannot recommend it. They never bothered to fix anything, they just released the game and that's it.
This was my review, and I hope it helps you make a decision with your purchase.

I dislike the MMORPG genre and yet I absolutely love this game. Been playing since I was a kid. It's addictive and satisfying. Definitely very unique. A game with thousands of hours worth of content. Hundreds of quests. Hundreds of bosses. You really never run out of things to do.

And so we begin. Four years after buying this game, I feel like its time to give it a proper and insightful review.
Total War: Attila. This is by far the hardest game in the whole entire franchise. One that we love and hate at times, but has steadily provided us with fun games to play.
So, what's different about Attila? What makes this game so complicated? First and foremost let's talk history. This game is set at the dawn of the Dark Ages. The Roman Empires are falling apart and the smaller but numerous tribes are picking apart at it's carcass. Whether you choose to take the challenge of leading a falling Empire or partake in it's downfall, you're going to have many enemies along the way. Playing as the Western Roman Empire is one of the most annoying, fun, boring, challenging and repetitive experiences. The adjectives used seem almost paradoxal, but its for a reason. You're going to repeat the same battles over and over again, you're going to lose almost all of your starting territories due to the fact that almost every existing faction will declare war on you, but once you finally manage to balance the Public Order and the Squalor, you're finally going to start having fun. Destroying the once smaller, but now slightly bigger tribes isn't going to necessarily be an easy task, but with patience you'll get there. And then, try this again but in Legendary difficulty. I'm sure you'll have tons of fun (you won't, trust me)!
It also has one of the best DLCs for the whole franchise, "Age Of Charlemagne" which is set in the early medieval periods.
Total War: Attila is a great and fun game to play, and if you're a fan of the franchise but still haven't acquired this game, I'd very much recommend you to do so.

This is a game that everyone should own. It's the perfect line between serious racing and demolition. If you're like me, and have been a fan of Bugbear's previous entries (Flatout; Flatout 2 and Flatout: Ultimate Carnage) then this game is all those games did well combined, and more.
The tracks scream Bugbear and they're very nostalgic, since they mostly look and feel like Flatout 1's tracks. The car handling is as perfect as always. Its extremely fun to drive; it's hard for the beginners (racing game "noobies") and slightly challenging for the pros (sim racing "veterans"). The customisation isn't the best in the car racing genre, but its definitely something I've wanted on a Flatout game for a long time. It makes you feel as if you're part of the crew you're running against, and that's a feeling I can only get when I play racing games from Bugbear.
The only thing that I don't like is the character's names. I wish that we had 15 AI characters to race against instead of AI with weird names that change in every championship.
Overall this game is tons of fun, and if you're debating whether you should buy it or not, do yourself a favour and buy it. You're helping awesome developers and getting an amazing game that's going to give you endless hours of fun, laughter and challenge.

Thank you Bugbear for picking up where you left off with Flatout and bringing us such an awesome game.

One of the best racing games I've ever played. Its tons of fun and extremely rewarding when you learn the tracks properly and take time to setup the car. Racing online has been an absolute blast and for those who only have a controller, the game has a menu in which you can setup the deadzones for your controller and make the most out of it.

Very easy to use app with TONS of incredibly amazing wallpapers. Definitely worth buying.

First and foremost I'd like to adress that this game has a very short campaign (around 4 and a half to 5 hours) and is not the most optimized game to ever come out on PC.

However, Ryse: Son Of Rome is an absolutely brilliant game. From the graphics (we all know how fantastic the Crytek engine is, this game came out in 2013 and still looks better than most games being released nowadays), to the ambient, the characters, the combat and the story, everything is amazing.

Going a bit more in-depth now, the story follows the life of the Roman Centurion Marius Titus as he becomes one of the leaders in the Roman Legion, although it is set in in an alternate version of Ancient Rome, so if you're like me and love history, don't feel awkward when Nero comes off as Commodus's father.

The ambient feels great and the game is extremely immersive, it does really make you feel like you're in there with Marius Titus and all the Roman legionaries. From the absolutely breathtaking sceneries in Britannia to forming the defensive testudo formation with your units, the annoying bugs flying around next to your ears in the swamp areas to the arenas of the colosseum , the whole campaign will feel fantastic.

And last but not least, the combat is pretty much an hack-and-slash with time-based minigames to complete executions. Its a fun combat style that works very well for the kind of game it is, but might feel a bit repetitive after a while.

Overall I think Ryse: Son Of Rome is one of the best games ever released, but very underrated due to its poor optimization when it initially came out and the short campaign.
