Considering it's a free mod for an already great game, this is impressive!

10/10 - Legendary

"The Forgotten City" is not just a game; it's a thought-provoking exploration of ethics, morality, and human nature. It raises questions about the consequences of our actions and the complexities of decision-making. The characters you encounter in the game are wonderfully written, each with their own motivations and moral dilemmas, making it a philosophical journey as much as an adventure.

In terms of drawbacks, some players may find the game's slower pacing and dialogue-heavy nature less appealing if they prefer action-packed experiences. Additionally, a few technical hiccups and minor bugs can occasionally detract from the immersion, but they do not significantly impact the overall experience.

In conclusion, "The Forgotten City" is a masterfully crafted narrative-driven game that excels in storytelling, character development, and its clever use of the time-loop mechanic. It's a game that will linger in your thoughts long after you've completed it, making it a must-play for fans of narrative-driven adventures and those who appreciate thought-provoking storytelling in video games.

Absolution is an awesome funny game.Yes this is a hitman game inwich you step in the shoes of Agent 47 but this time around the developers tryed to tell a more personal story, your not going on contract kills anymore like in previous games, your not choosing your agency gadgets at the start of a mission instead your on a rescue story, trying to save a girl blah blah blah... The story is pretty dull and non-interesting with some bland characters except for one or two.

- The game has solid gameplay (except the QTE EVENTS I HATE THEM), you can choose multiple kill methods for your targets, the leves are verry interesting and have a strategic feel to them. A new addition is the instinc mechanic wich lets you see the path of the enemys, and where are they in that moment in time. The disguise system is kinda broken but for the most part it works. Also killing enemys with stuff you find in the enviroment (like axes, small statues, syringes, screwdrivers etc) is pretty funny. Single player aside there is alo CONTRACT MODE in wich a player can create his own "level" using the editor and make other players try and complete it. All the levels in this game have verry high replayability. Long time hitman fans please play this on hard or above difficulty!

- The graphics in this game are amazing (Glaciar 2 engine is verry good), the crowd tehnology is best in any game i've played. There are some levels in the game packed with people
on screen at the same time.

- The sound and voice acting is top notch.

I would recommend a buy for anyone that wants a silent assasins type experience. Try and get it at a sale for 8-10$.

My final rating: 7.8/10

Hitman Abs is good but you can tell it needed some more work.

MAFIA II is a good game that is worth your money and time.

The story follows a young man named Vito Scaletta as he tries to rank up in a mafia crime-family. I will just say the overall story is good and with a twisted ending that will leave you wanting more. The game is clearly inspired by movies like The Godfather and Goodfellas.

The gameplay is a mix of interesting and bland missions, not that they take away from the overall experience. You can customize cars, buy clothes for your main protagonist, buy different guns, also as you advance through the story you will change houses (starting from your mothers apartamanet to a nice luxurious penthouse. The game could have used more side missions (to involve the city more). Also i would of loved more costumes for Vito.

The visuals are verry good, i didnt encounter any big visual bugs in this game so that's a plus. The cars in the game are verry detailed and good-looking but the buildings look kinda strange sometimes (like cardboard boxes).

One thing the game nails right from the start is putting you in Vito's shoes, you actually feel that the story evolves around you.

My overall rating for MAFIA II: 9/10

The best shooter i've played this year (and this is coming from a guy who didnt enjoy Bioshock Infinite). Perfect visuals and art style, verry good gameplay (much better than metro 2033), strong story and satisfying ending(s). Metro LL is a must buy for any gamer (well maybe except cod fans)! It;s awesome what 4A Games has done here, improving on every aspect of the previous game, adding excellent stealth mechanics + weapon customization + more level variety. Voice acting and music is also superb. Metro LL also has some minor bugs here and there such as enemys dont see you asyou are stading infront of them or some characters that are essential in progresion stopped responding, butthoescan be easy fixed with a restart ofthe last check point.

Overall i give Metro LL a solid 9/10 (must buy and must play).

Also don't buy the extra Ranger Mode DLC wich isn't worth it.
