Here's an honest review:

- Gameplay, mechanics, customization: Really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good, one of the best Call of Duties in that regard. With Battlefield 1 I found that the game got really stail very quickly and didn't offer me much variety in what I could do. This game provides a ♥♥♥♥ ton of variety, customization and gameplay mechanics to keep you entertained. Daily/Weekly challenges, headquarters, paintjobs, variants (asthetic only), and a pleathora of other things. I honestly have to hand it to SHG for being able to provide the level of debth that they have for a World War 2 game (where there weren't many guns to be honest and there weren't any variants or modifications), yet SHG provided that whilst still keeping it relatively believable, props. Anyone who says the gameplay is bad is an absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ who only hates on the game for purely hating on the game. Would I say this game is worth $60? Yes, I go to watch a 2 hour movie for $10-$15, and I've already gotten 8+ hours of enjoyment out of this game, so I can't say it's not worth $60.

- Zombies: Holy ♥♥♥♥ this is legitimately the best zombies experience that I have ever had, it truly brings me back to World at War, where things were gritty and gruesome. None of that flambouyant spaceland disco zombie ♥♥♥♥. I was a fan ever since the inception of Zombies and I'm glad to see it go back to what it began as: a dark, gruesome story. Zombies it truly something to behold in this game. I really love the gameplay. However, the one thing that I am very very very irritated about is that there is no rounds survived leaderboard! WHAT THE ♥♥♥♥! Also if a host migrates it kicks everyone out and you lose everything... so that is ♥♥♥♥ too. ALSO leveling in zombies takes way to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long, like 4 hours of gameplay = 4 levels... dafuq. So on a gameplay level zombies is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great, but the technical part is a bit lacking and unerwhelming.

- Multiplayer: This ♥♥♥♥ is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun. I didn't think that I would have this much fun. Everything just feels clean, I don't know how else to say it. The game lacks a bit in the scorestreak area and I don't ever recall usuing a single scorestreak yet... it's just super hard to be able to survive in this game for 4+ kills, even though I have a 3:1 win/loss and a 2.67 K/D scorestreaks are just really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard to get. The gamemodes are absolutely great. I love the new War gamemode, it's my new all time favorite mode for CoD. I love the same game mode in Battlefield and I like what they've done in CoD with a few unique tweaks, everything feels really balanced (except for snipers I think they are super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken right now... like every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ half witted person is just running around and seemingly never missing shots... snipers are always 1 shot and never have hit markers.... busted AF). So yeah multiplayer is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great and there is a lot to do: prestige, prestige guns, prestige division, rank up different divisions, go to headquarters, achieve little easter eggs in headquarters. Also I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love the 1v1 arena, I've played more 1v1 in HQ than the actual multiplayer and I've played a bit of MP... 1v1 is just super fun and laid back with 5-10 people talking and dueling it out, such a blast (best innovative game feature TBH).

- Special Butterfly Treatment: Also the best Call of Duty in that regard... I get they would be bombarded with retarded SJWs saying that a game based on historical FACTS was racist or bigotted (if they didn't censor stuff), but I'm disappointed to see them give in. Personally I don't mind all of the causes, but I play a game for immersion and when I see something and in my head I go: "wait, that's not what ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ happened" it sort of irritates me and pulls me out of the game. Like it's kind of stupid. It's a double edged sword I get it, but it's a pitty Sledgehammer gave in. Also I was looking through the calling cards and there is an LGBT calling card where a LGBT flag is hovering over the HQ.... ummm???? Under no circumstance would that have EVER been a thing during WW2 (I'm not saying it was right), but it was literally illegal to be a homosexual in the military back then. This kind of stuff is littered in the game and not that I'm against these sort of movements (to clarify), but from a historical perspective (to clarify once more to any social justice butterfly that can't comprehend things correctly) it's just really annoying and seperates you from the game.

So to summarize the gameplay is by far the best I've ever seen in a Call of Duty both in mechanics and debth, however the small inaccuracies can be pretty annoying. All in all this is my favorite CoD since MW3. Props.

Anyone that could rate this game negatively is purely insane. There is very little that you cannot do in this game. You can buy and upgrade your own weapons, and even dye your weapons to personalize them. You guy buy, sell, and breed horses. Of which you can put armor, horseshoes, helmets and more on your horses (and you can even dye your horse's armor also). You can farm, fish, mine, create, build, process, trade as a profession (with many more that I cannot even begin to list). You can also get your own wagon of which you can connect 2-4 horses that have your own signature dyes and you can even dye your wagon (this gives an unparalleled custom and unique feeling). There are countless quests and countless places to grind. Also in the games current state is is absolutely balanced. This game (in NA) is no where close to Pay 2 Win, everyone has an equal oppurtunity. Horses can be bought with silver (for very cheap) and even pets if you can snipe one off the market can be bought on the market. In the current state there is a server wide 100% exp boost on returning and new player servers. Plus this weekend was a 100% exp boost weekend, plus the daily 200% exp boost for 30 mins and a 90 minute 50% boost plus a 50% ticket boost and 8% Milk Tea boost is it very easy to level up right now (aka all those boosts stack). I have no Earthly idea how any person could possibly rate this game as bad. It has been nothing but enjoyable. I rate 10/10. This game is a true MMO.

Revised Review, after a year of playing:

First let me start off by saying that I am no longer fan of PUBG. There are things that I like and things that I dislike about the game.

Most often I find myself in a position recognizing that I can be mad at PLAYERUNKNOWN and his dev team. This game was released as an EARLY ACCESS and under that alone I could not have a reason to complain whatsoever. However, since this game was released and has become wildly popular, the leadership and dev team have been dragging their f*cking feet. Each and every patch has so many new bugs and issues and rarely solve any problems that players have been asking to be resolved for nearly a year.This game was released as a fairly polished game with considerably good mechanics, gameplay, logic, and balance. Since then, nothing truly tremendous has been done to improve the game. The best upgrade was them changing the tick rate of servers from 20 to 60 and that was merely a switch of the servers and nothing technical done as a result of the devs, that alone took months to get done. Now I am going to dive a little deeper into each of thsoe topics and a little more.

Mechanics: This game at times can feel pretty clunky, especially when driving, but for the most part looting, shooting, and running feel very consistent and smooth. The camera system is helpful and useful (considering you can't Alt + Drag in prone and limited in crouch and when looking around buildings). A complaint is that the driving mechanics are clunky when traveling over bumps and the parachutes can be unreliable sometimes, don't ever drive a bike or you are 50% likely to flip and die by hitting a microscopic pebble on the road. The developers will likely take another year to either revert the bikes or make any improvement at all.

Gameplay: The shooting system is phenominal in this game, just about the only thing that makes this game good. The Duo system is very nice. It leads to a very tactical and strategical approach to the game, but the playerbase only knows how to drop hot and play like it's Call of Duty... so... instead of playing to survive and not play to get kills, you end up playing to get kills and not playing to survive. I like intelligent kind of gameplay which is very rewarding for patient players that are capable of strategizing, but at a higher level don't expect anyone to care. I consistently place top 250 if I play for the season.

Logic: Some things in the game just make sense and other things are just down right stupid. The scenery is right, the locations are meh, the loot spawns are complete RNG, the plane routes can be complete and utter trash on Mirimar especially. The circles can lose you a game on Erangel. Too much RNG in this game for it to be worth a damn at a higher level of competition. The game just doesn't feel right anymore. Things such as bullet compatibility and attachments might seem fishy and I'd give this game a break if it were still a month away from release or launch, but they've had more than enough time to fix critical issues and they have failed to even fix half of the issues within an entire year. I guess $1,500,000,000 isn't enough to higher a good dev team...

Balance: This the single most important thing that the developers have actually gotten right which is why the game is actually playable. Grenades can't be thrown 500 ft, guns have accurate bullet drop, accurate sounds (beyond popular belief), accurate damage and generally good recoil balance. The Zones don't do nearly enough damage, but move at a manageable speed, but can select completely a$$ areas. The loot is not really balanced because you can very commonly loot 3-4 buildings and not find a single weapon, at times. Cars are balanced and each serve their own purpose. They actually removed lvl 3 helms from world spawns and balanced ARs, SMGs, DMRs and Snipers... which actually made the game a lot more balanced and was one of the actually decent patches the game released.

Overall this is a good game, but I can't rate it thumbs up because teh developers are very incompitent. This game favors the agressor due to desync and lag (which at times can seem like so during the first 5 mins of the game), it should be about playing tactical and being able to strategize and create a plan on where you are going to find the best loot. Where to loot and have the advantage over anyone impeding your immediate area. What part of the map to loot in order to give you most time to be in the first circle. What part of the circle to go to (where you think on the path of the plane and how likely you are to run into somebody at a specific location on the map), where to hide or setup, where to scout and scan, where to strafe and peek. Every single game you should be rewarded for being able to answer these questions and it used to be like that but not really any more.

Don't get me wrong, I love this game, but it has too many problems. With the recent addition of the event pass I don't even think that I can stomach the stupidity of the developers. I wish they would have adopted a system of progression like Rainbow Six Siege or copied Fortnite exactly, but instead they wanted to basically make their event pass cost 3 times as much. $10/month instead of Fortnite's $10/3 months. A lot of these problems aren't being fixed. The developers aren't good at acknowledging the community and communicating with the community. They don't seem to have any haste and they don't seem to care about improving the game. They make random inprovements and the only patches or improvements that are ever worth a damn are weapon and armor balances and nothing much else. This game has server issues (which are coding abssed issues that will never seem to be addressed), this game rubberbands (told it would be improved???), the sounds are inconsistent (seemingly always bugged), vehicles are scetchy (were fixed and then they managed to f*ck them up again), draw distance (not fixed, bushes and brush don't load at 200m+ which is completely retarded), spectator issues (not fixed), revives issues (fixed), map issues (fixed), spawn issues (fixed), lagout issues (not fixed), BP issues (fixed), various other glitches and troubles (fixed/being fixed or address/scheduled to be fixed), desync (not fixed). <---- made this list over a year ago and updated it, just so you can see a list of things that haven't been fixed and what has. To add to the list, a ranking system was never implemented, leveling system was never implemented, still no challenges, crates are pretty much all worthless and only openable with keys. It seems like they do nothing to cater to players that play this game at the highest level and it's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ irritating losing a gun battle to a complete sh1tter when on my screen I'm behind a tree and they still see me due to desync.

Here are my adjusted ratings:
Gameplay: 7/10
Mechanics: 8/10
Logic: 7/10
Balancing: 9/10
Developers: 4/10 <---- only team that regularly puts things out is the art team with PAID
crates... I buy a game and can't even get any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ skins for free...
Community: 9/10, community is actually really nice. Every agrees that the devs are retarded
as ♥♥♥♥... lmao
Overall: 7/10
Future Overall: 6/10, game just keeps going downhill. Optimization is a$$ and devs are
picking their noses. Could have been a 10/10 if they were compitent.

Ohh perhaps in more serious hands this game could have been a bigger blockbuster than Destiny. This game had a seriously good developement team and and awesome think tank. If this game had more moeny for developement and more money for advertisement its limits were boundless. This was a true MMO/Open-World game ahead of its time (atleast for an American game) this game was* so fun to play. But it's obviously outdated and it is very stail because of the lack of updates. It's sad to see this game die, but it was a fantastic game overall.

Note: I played this on Xbox 360 and had hundreds of hours sunk in to this game.

I absolutely love this game, Dungeon Defenders 2 takes everything from Dungeon Defenders and upgrades it to a new, vibrant, and pristine: look, funtion, and feel. This game is only in beta and is already one of the best games that I have ever played. DD2 is amazingly fun, and endless, it's fun to play with friends, strangers, or even by yourself. The customization is unique and elaborate as well as extensive and enormous. DD2 also isn't a pay to win, everybody in this game has an oppurtunity to be equal. Buy Dungeon Defenders 2 because at completion this will be the best game on steam!
