Friendly community, teammates are always encouraging and very forgiving when you make a mistake! Servers are smooth, never had any issues. Overall 10/10 and very beginner friendly.

I cannot recommend this game. Before I bought it I did a bit of research and found the singleplayer mode is trash and the AI's are useless. I bought the game for the sole purpose of split-screen local multiplayer. I am by no means a connoisseur of rally or racing games in general, but with my trusty ol' logitech driving force GT sim wheel, this game had by far the sloppiest steering out of the many games I've played. This was extremely disappointing as V-Rally was the game that introduced me to racing games back on the playstation one. Even as a pick up and drive arcade-ey game, I cannot recommend this. The atrocious steering makes the game a battle to get around the tracks and really isn't fun whatsoever. On top of this, the price here on steam is nothing more than a sick joke. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

This game is simply amazing. Although it is fairly linear, it doesn't get boring. Every tomb that you complete is so satisfying. That feeling you get when you figure out how to pass a section, so satisfying. The story this game tells is truly one of a kind and i wish developers would still write such gripping stories.
I honestly feel like I stole this game for $2. I would recommend this to anyone, just give it a try. How can you go wrong for $15?

This really isn't a free game, it's more of a trial... The devs have gotta do what they gotta do tho. It's good fun until you run out of tokens.

Oh Skyrim, Skyrim, Skyrim.

It's hard to judge the overall story presentation of a game that has no many things going on at once. There are many moments in the game (mostly during the main quest) that seem genuinely excited in how the story is presented to you...but overall, it's just the kind of thing you'd expect from any game of this variety that has a plot. The characters in Skyrim aren't very good. Most NPCs, including the ones featured prominently in major quests, aren't very interesting at all...paper-thin, devoid of soul or anything remotely intriguing about their personalities. There are some exceptions, but not many. Marriage in the game is a good example of this. Marriage is an absolute joke. The romantic interests for the main character, for the most part, don't have much going on for them and they'll end up wanting to marry you as soon as you meet them. As an example, there's a female love interest in the game who can marry once you've completed a task for her. The task is to bring her a mammoth tusk. So, you bring her a mammoth tusk...and then, if you have a special item that advertises you as single, she'll be completely open to marry. There is no build-up to this...there is no actual connection between the player and the character that should warrant you to want your character to marry this person. It's as dry, stale, and pointless as it gets. It feels tacked on, as if the marriage content is a result of a poorly made mod than something that should actually be included in the game. Most games that have marriage options such as this have ways of developing the love interests well...to make the player feel emotionally attached enough to actually care about what happens to them. Skyrim is completely incapable of making the player care about anything that happens to anyone during the course of the game.

Oh and the glitches. This doesn't even need to be elaborated on. The game is so glitch-heavy that I'm surprised it's sold as a finished product. Bethesda's quality assurance is extremely sloppy. While there are many small glitches, there are also many game-breaking glitches that prevent me from accessing portions of the game I should be able to play through. Skyrim feels incomplete thanks in part to these.

Playing through Oblivion felt like chewing on a piece of cardboard. Sure, there was a lot of it and it took a long time to finish the whole thing, but the actual experience of shoving every dry, chewy piece past your gums was a long, boring chore. Playing through Skyrim feels like chewing on a piece of cardboard smothered in frosting. That's all that I feel Skyrim is. It's Oblivion with a fresh coat of paint. It looks better and it sounds better, but they've kept everything else intact. It's as if Bethesda consciously decided to not address any of the notable flaws found in Oblivion just to see if they could get by with making a game that looks pretty. The AI is still bad, the combat is still bad, the characters and writing as bland as can be, the dungeons are ridiculously repetitive, the quests are poorly paced, and the entire game suffers from more glitches than should be acceptable for a fully finished game. All of these flaws combine into one great, big cloud that floats over the player's head and destroy any possible immersion. Overall, Skyrim amounts to little more than a needlessly grandiose spectacle built for the casual player in mind. In my opinion, not worth the time.

In conclusion, the combat is bad. Very bad. Remember the combat from Oblivion? That's the combat in Skyrim. The combat in Elder Scrolls games has always been a major drawback and I find it incredible that the developers haven't done very much to make it any better. Fighting in Skyrim is incredibly simplistic. There isn't much room for advancement because there's not much you can (or should) do in battle. The vast majority of the enemies in the game are human-based (skeletons, ghosts, bandits, draugrs, etc.) with a few examples of local fauna and, of course, dragons. Regardless of the enemy's appearance, each one of them is fought in the same exact way. Enemy variety is only an illusion, extending only to their physical appearances. There's no variation. You'll be using the same techniques for every single fight you come across. Let's say you want to use Magic? Switch between fire and ice attacks, spamming them while moving back. That's all. Melee attacker? Run close and use your strongest attacks until the enemy dies. Once you run out of stamina for your power attacks, just use your fast attacks until your stamina builds back up. There's no real incentive to use fast attacks over strong ones unless you lack the stamina to perform those big, crushing wind-ups. There is no balance between the attacks and no moment when you will have to consciously choose between them to make the best out of a situation. For a game intended to be an action-RPG, the combat is one of its biggest flaws.

It's hard not to share your excitement about something that should end up being unanimously enjoyed.
If you're a fan of Half-Life, action games in general, or are looking for a way to get into PC gaming, this is it. It'll hook you, reel you in, and hold you captive for serious hours of hardcore brilliance. This is gaming at its best and shows that the future holds no bounds when the might of technology, precision of design, and touch of artistry work in tandem.

Grand Theft Auto V is not only a preposterously enjoyable video game, but also an intelligent and sharp-tongued satire of contemporary America. It represents a refinement of everything that GTA IV brought to the table five years ago. It’s technically more accomplished in every conceivable way, but it’s also tremendously ambitious in its own right. No other world in video games comes close to this in size or scope, and there is sharp intelligence behind its sense of humour and gift for mayhem. It tells a compelling, unpredictable, and provocative story without ever letting it get in the way of your own self-directed adventures through San Andreas. It is one of the very best video games ever made.
