Bungie has really outdone themselves in making Destiny 2 much more accessible. It's now easy to transfer from other platforms, and the new player experience is now great. Now that they're free of Activision, it seems Destiny 2, and Bungie as a whole, are finally back on track to finding their true Destiny.

Don't even bother asking whether this game is good or not. Parkour combined with a Jet Set Radio Future-styled world with multiplayer and a new soundtrack by the same person who did JSR's soundtrack?! DO IT. DO IT NOW. BUY IT FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FRIENDS. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

If you're looking for a challenging game that will punish you relentlessly, this may be the game you're looking for. (Or, see the 64-bit remaster of this, if your friends have that instead... Trust me, you may want to get the remake if your friends don't own this version.) The game starts off with you awakening in a strange land called Drangleic, after being branded with the "Darksign" - an emblem that turns you into an "Undead", a being who cannot die, and eventually will lose all hope and go hollow - no memories, no feelings, no emotion - just suffering. You're told by a mysterious figure known only as the Emerald Herald that the only way to stop it is to seek out the King, Vendrick. Who is this mysterious king? And does he have the power to stop one from going hollow? Find the answers yourself in the second installment of the Dark Souls series, Dark Souls II!
Pros:
- Good gameplay
- Great customization
- Many playstyles
- No levelcap (There is one, but trust me, you'll never reach it. It's insanely high. I'm talking 1000+ hours of farming for that. You would have to farm for hours every day.)
- Hard difficulty
- PvP and co-op is great!
- Hackers get softbanned to a different server, so regular players won't be destroyed (generally) by a hacker.
- Long story, great replayability.
- New Game Plus.

Cons:
- Steep learning curve
- Sometimes hackers don't get softbanned
- You have to place summon signs to get placed into your friends' game, and anyone can summon you.
- You can get ganged up on (Regulars call it a gank, winning a gank is called a gank spank) when invading others' worlds.

TL;DR - Great game, if you want difficulty this game is full of it!

Elsword is a fun game, I'll give it that. I've encountered no bugs what-so-ever throughout my entire 45+ hours on this game, and I already have 3 characters. Elsword, who is my main character and a Sword Knight. Chung, who is my tank and secondary character. Add, who is the newest (at the time of writing this review) and my third character, whom I'm still leveling to the same level my Chung is. So far, I haven't even scratched the surface of the game in my entire playtime! In Elsword, you go around completing quests Metroidvania-esque, back and forth on a side-scrolling screen between areas and dungeons. You can play with friends, utilizing the "Friends List" and "Party" features to play with them in dungeons, towns, and in-between. I, personally, play with a few friends while I play. It can be played by yourself, solo, but will still require an internet connection. I wholeheartedly recommend this game, and give it a 10/10!

Imagine you wake up on a beach. You check your pockets to see that you have only a flashlight with batteries... you search through the woods ahead of you to find a few people with guns handcuffing another survivor. You decide you cannot help then and sneak by, just to be discovered and handcuffed. They shoot the other survivor in the head, and as they load the gun for another shot, you look at the dead body and think: "What was their story?" Bam. You're still not dead... and your executor has a bullet in his head. A few more shots, and the other people are dead, too. Another group of survivors have taken out the bandits and are untying you. Luckily, they're friendly and help people. They gear you up and you become one of them, roaming Chernarus + and helping new people... This is one existence in the world... of DayZ.
