A beautiful game with an interactive and gripping story-line, which includes challenging combat at times and plenty of puzzles to be solved.

Summary
Mordhau is a fun community-driven game which is focused around medieval-era combat. With players able to customise weaponry and armour designs on as many characters as they like, battlefields are brought to life with up to 64 players in a single match hacking away with various blunt or sharpened objects. A joyous blend of medieval realism and fantastic gameplay features, Mordhau is easy to pick up yet challenging to master.

Appearing to take inspiration from the likes of 'Mount and Blade' and 'Chivalry', I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys medieval combat games and multiplayer interactions.

Details
Pros: + Gamplay and combat system are smooth and well-designed, combining realism with quality-of-life. + Achievement list is expansive and promotes varying styles of gameplay. + Graphics are aesthetically pleasing and fitting with general gameplay. + Playstyles can be greatly varied to match. + Character creation is relatively freeing, with a focus on armour design - reasonable levels of modification within bounds. Allows you to alter levels of armour for head, torso, and legs - with a range of design and colour options for each. Allows you to edit weapon designs through different colours and some parts (e.g. altered handle or blade designs). + Gamemodes are varied and attempt to include everyone - includes 1v1 duels, team deathmatches, PvE horde, battle royale, and obective capture ('Frontline'). + Gore is semi-realistic and in fair graphic detail (e.g. dismemberment), but you can also behead a fully armoured knight... + Community focused game with lots of multiplayer interactions, allows you to find groups of people who match your playstyle and focuses. Clans have been created, although not an official part of the game at this time. + Developers are maintaining involvement in the game, including new weapons and maps and balance fixes. + Servers can be found which are both player-run and official, allowing a range of options for groups and individuals alike. + 'Votekick' system allows players on community servers to vote out any one player disrupting the experience for others.
Cons: - Maps are at times one-sided, appear unfinished, and there are not many options to chose from. - Weapons in a few select cases are unbalanced, but developers have been working to fix balance issues. - Glitches have occasionally been found which allow things such as escaping maps, or going through walls. Cases such as these can be game-breaking, but aren't minor. Developers have been working to fix bugs. - Party system is currently not fluid, and will only bring party members into a match when you 'queue' for an official server in matchmaking. The 'join player' button to follow into a server found through the browser sometimes brings you to the last server they were in, not the current one. Can make playing as a group difficult. - Team-damage can be difficult to prevent, and players have been known to spawn-camp teammates who get on their nerves... Vote kick makes this more manageable, but it isn't helped that the 'blue' team are sometimes covered in so much blood that they appear to be on the 'red' team in Frontline and other modes. Not a major issue if ignored, but can be irritating at times.

It's fun. What more is there to say?

M&B is a rich game, despite being somewhat dated. The occasional glitch doesn't get in the way of superb gameplay - as players create their ideal medieval character to ride alongside their hand-picked band of troops. Gameplay is mainly carried out through a map - while combat is fought in the first person, allowing for the fast travel of time alongside interactive and fun combat. Join one of the five empires - or create your own and jostle for control of the continent.

If you've had enough of the vanilla game, you can join multiplayer arenas and hone your skills, buy one of the awesome DLCs on offer, or download a mod for the game - which the makers have made easy to install and access for anyone.

I would recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable and interactive singleplayer experience in a medieval setting.

One of the best singleplayer PC games that I've played.

Brings me back to the days of playing Harvest Moon under the covers, late into the night - with personal touches on top, to enhance gameplay. Stardew Valley allows players to escape and build their dream farm, while also meeting a series of NPCs with interesting personalities and storylines - even going so far as to marry one, if the player so chooses, after winning their heart over other suitors.

If you're looking for a singleplayer game to pass the time, or fall deeply in love with an escapist world - Stardew Valley is the game for you.

Fun learning curve, with a large variety of unique characters - allowing players to pick an operator that matches their playstyle or personality. Many interesting features, such as the ability to rapple up walls or check the cameras on drones/CCTV for an idea of enemy positions.

Like others, this game is a mix between teamwork and communication, with individual skills being secondaty - yet still important. The sort match times allow players to easily fit gameplay into busy schedules if need be.

I would recommend to fans of competitive FPS games.

CS:GO Review
Team-based game, which works both on individual skill and communication abilities. Many people complain about the community, but it isn't that bad - as long as you have a thick enough skin.

Although matches are often time-consuming, it's rarely a drag - and the game has a good enough learning curve, alongside being enjoyable to master. Besides the occasional glitches (or broken weapons... *cough* AWP *cough*), the game is still, at large, enjoyable for most people I've met, and draws everyone back for more.

I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys competitive FPS games, or is looking for a way to pass the time.

A fun and interactive game with an interesting storyline and amazing gameplay. Great both for chilling out and having a laugh, or going for an intense gaming session. Thoroughly enjoyed - would recommend to anyone who enjoys FPSRPGs.

Terraria is a fun and interactive game that I would recommend to others.

It allows for the freedom of imagination and creativity, alongside the fun and difficulty of many aspects within the game, enabling exploration of the vast and individually generated worlds - whether you're an adventurer, boss slayer, builder, mechanic, or just in it for the fun.

Terraria is also easy to use to connect with others, enabling multiplayer fun with both friends and new people - either in pvp or co-op.
