This game felt to me like the combination of Frostpunk and Company of Heroes. Train elements are nicely detailed. You stop and think about what to upgrade and what not to do. Hospital wagon is a must, I think. Since I enter any combat I see, combat is the most single element in this game that gives the most resources, I've had a lot of injured squad members that needed attention. And as for squad members, scouts are really overpowered in my opinion. I've had like 6 lvl 5 scouts by the time I finished the game and as long as there is no armoured vehicle, they can solo any mission. They can also hit armoured vehicles from a really far distance, I don't know why they put that into the game. For example, I can hit tanks with scout special ability and they somehow lose hp. After I developed several scouts, I only used machine gunners to cover areas, I didn't even use other types of soldiers lol.

Story didn't seem interesting to me and I didn't understand why that guy with the glasses left at the end of the game and come back to the ship. Most of the time, I didn't care about story elements and choices. If there is a combat opportunity for a mission, I always took that choice whether it is the moral one or not lol. I didn't feel any remorse regarding my choices as long as I get resources from the missions. All in all, really good game.

I played this game as a long time Harry Potter fan. I've chosen House Slytherin because why not. I'm ambitious. Other houses were not my cup of tea. gryffindor??? yikes! The first thing that I did when I entered Hogwarts was finding out where Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom is. I didn't find the snake though. Nor could I open the Chamber of Secrets. Disappointing... Anyways. The second place that I went to was the astronomy tower. Imagery of Albus and Severus arguing... "Has it ever crossed your brilliant mind that I don't want to do this anymore?" Sad times indeed. At any rate, enough with the memories.

Combat is really good. I most of the time enjoyed the spells and different combos that you can do with them. However, 4 spells and wheeling out for choosing different spells... I mean, who came up with this mediocre choice? I wanted to specifically key bind each spell. Why can't we do this? Ohh, yea. consoles. Sadge. For this reason, combat did not go as smooth as I thought for me. I used F1 F2 F3 and F4 for choosing different spell slots. It was fun though, but could've been better.

I hated all the collectables inside the game, especially those stupid merlin thingies. Come at me merlin, I'm not afraid of you! Your quest sucks! I have to watch 10 seconds of this animation every time I finish this merlin freakshow. Merlin growing growing growing and becomes a leaf guy . I mean, why? Why can't I skip this? I also hated going through the doors. I go into some kind of structure with a roof and BOOM! my character has lost the ability to run. Constantly spamming run key. RUN RUN RUN. And when the character encounters a door when he is going out, he suddenly decides to walk like penguin. Why are you not running? I have merlin crap to collect dammit!

I loved the curse sounds, especially crucio. Avada kedavra cd is too much. Can we decrease that a bit? I need to spam that. Story was a bit lame. Didn't intrigue me that much. Couldn't care less about this ancient magic crap. I took the power for myself and nothing has changed at all. Considering everything, it was a fun game.


- And what will you give me in return, Severus?
- Anything...

I've completed the game on veteran difficulty and I can definitely say that the AI behaves so stupid most of the time. You instantly aggro enemies when you are near them and in this difficulty; they sometimes one-shot you, or you die from 2 or 3 hits, which can be considered as realistic. I had no problem with this. However, when you aggro everything like a tank and they ignore our allied soldiers and directly rush towards you, it kind of felt like an immersion-breaking experience for me. Veteran difficulty was not that challenging but there were places where I felt like I was fighting soul of cinder and dying 35 times perpetually. Anyway, the atmosphere in Normandy was amazing, really well done.

I bought this game expecting a relaxing experience with soothing visuals but I made a mistake by choosing the master difficulty. It was like I was in Lothric all over again. Mobs are too freaking powerful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, you almost die from two hits. Some of the bosses are really hard. Hell, even those big branch mobs are freaking annoying with all those delay attacks. And that floating psycho derelict Hunter boss; dodging every shot, so tilting. It takes a while but I got that ♥♥♥♥♥ down. The last boss was like really hard as well, almost took 2 hours to put that whatever that is down. Visuals are amazing though, really mesmerising. Soundtrack is the same, really well written for the game. Intense. Definitely recommended. Play on easy though if you value your limbic system.

He who foresees calamities, suffers them twice over.

The game has amazing art and atmosphere. The studio definitely upped their game while developing this one. The gameplay is almost identical as the first one but you can attack with certain objects in this. You also need to cooperate with six in certain places. Controls are sometimes glitchy like six not complying with your actions or mono failing miserably while trying to grab objects. However, the story seems very well designed and thin man is really really scary imo. And finally, the night is dark and full of terrors SIX!

First of all, I love Remedy Games since Max Payne series (notice me Sam Lake senpai). This game does not lack quality considering their other games, or even better. Graphics are really good. It has really nice songs that you listen to inside the game. In my opinion, it can be considered as a a psychological thriller. The game has a lot of metaphysical content. Some of the areas, atmosphere or even cutscenes were really intriguing . However, I didn't like the story ending though. They probably thought to leave a bit for the second game. Combat was ok, this whole pull object and push mechanic was implemented really well. Most of the time, I felt like Magneto. Anyway, solid game!

This game seems, for me, like a proper successor of commandos franchise that I spent a lot of time back in the days. Story is quite nice and missions are very well designed in my opinion. Revelation of Hector being one of the Long Coats shocked me a bit, honestly. It was a well thought story design which I thoroughly enjoyed. Musics are good, especially the main theme. Overall, very good game!

This game is an unfinished work of art. The AI of cops is actually worse than GTA I *feelsbadman.jpg*. They are spawned immediately out of thin air with no respect to personal space. Traffic AI is a one line of code: Follow, if obstacle; stop. What is this? I get constant fps drops in lots of areas, which is making the experience not as immersive as it was marketed. This game needs at least one more year of development.

This game has very intense story interaction. The soundtrack is remarkable. It really creates an immersive environment which surrounds you throughout the game. I strongly recommend "Father" and "The Wrath" pieces. Voice acting is splendid as well. The gameplay can get a little bit boring after a while since it is mostly repetitive but the atmosphere really recompenses. It is really worth your while.

Ad ignem.
