So after about 9h of playing the game is pretty good!
I like the combat. It's got all the same elements of a game like space marine, block timings, dodge unblockable attacks, do combos & charge ups with your weapon, use abilities.
Combo different companion abilities to do detonates etc.
It's fun!

And even though it's not one big open world there is still a lot of exploration in levels, find chests & materials, solve puzzles, etc.
You come back to levels after you gain new companions to open up areas, metroidvania style.

The game does seem to be more for people who like to be good guys, so if you like to do evil choices, there might not be much here for you. But maybe some more impactful choices come up later.

I would recommend this if you liked other bioware rpgs.
If you are totally new to dragon age and want to play a casual rpg with lots of story, you will probably like it.

I would only recommend this if you are a warhammer fan or if you get it on a discount.
It's a 10/10 Warhammer 40k game but for gameplay I would only rate it a 7/10.

It really looks amazing and the big battle scenes feel cool but there is a lot of little gameplay things that bother me. No hp regen, I spent the whole game on like 10% hp. You can recover little pips of armor but they go away so fast and sometimes you can't even avoid some damage. On higher difficulties the big enemies become damage sponges and it isn't fun hitting them 100 times before you can execute them.
The weapon balancing also feels off, it seems in campaign and pve everything is about the same strength so that no weapon is better, but that just feels bad because I can't one shot enemies with melta weapons or thunder hammer...

Anyways, this might seem like a negative review, but overall it's still a very cool looking game and we finally get a continuation of Titus story!

Fun action game!

You play it with just one button so you can use your other hand for anything else you might enjoy ;)

You heal patients with some very weird methods, it's very short, finished it in half an hour, but it's also very cheap.

This is a pretty cool roguelike! Fast paced action with some unique mechanics.
You shoot colored slime and you always have to stay on it to recharge your weapons.
You die pretty fast but you can then upgrade yourself or buy new weapons & equipment and try again.

I had some ui issues on ultrawide screen for upgrades but it doesn't prevent me from playing.

This is a fun zombie killing game! It probably has the best zombie destruction / gore system of any current games.
Story is nothing special, zombies happen, go kill em and help survivors. The levels start small but get a bit bigger later on. There is a good variety of weapons and special zombie types.
Game starts a bit difficult, gets easy, then has a difficulty spike again, but overall I would say it's not that hard if you use all the tools they give you.
It has some jump scares but you get used to them.

This is a really good action rpg.
The world is big, exploring is really fun! Lots of caves, lots of treasures everywhere.
Fighting feels good, you can have 3 characters in your party that help you out.
The story is not that intreresting and there are no deep and complex dialogues with npcs.
Performance for me has been ok so far, even in cities, but I have a 2 year old i7 cpu.

There is no cash shop ingame, they aren't forcing any additional purchases on you.
The Steam store dlcs are more like paid cheats, everything can be found in game by playing normally.

Good old Dungeon Keeper 2!
Played through half the campaign, worked nicely so far. No crashes or freezes, except once when I pressed alt+f4 and it froze so hard I had to reboot my pc.

Game had a rough launch but the gameplay is super fun!
You can do solo for the first 3 difficulty but then you really need a buddy or two.
Now go exterminate those bugs!

This is such a good book!
