Take everything I said from the review of the singleplayer version, (found here) and add multiplayer to the mix. This game just ups itself everytime they play around with new ideas and content. First the fun, yet difficult singleplayer, and now the quite fun not as difficult muliplayer. If you wanted to buy this game, but didn't like the difficulty, this should help you out. Just get a friend along, or more, and start playing :)

TL;DR
The difficulty is lessend, but the fun-level has rissen, as you are now able to play with friends.

Overall score, 10/10.

Your survival abilites get put to the test with this one. How long can you survive, and are you able to overcome survial, and finish the game? If you are up for a challenge, and want to jump into an alternate universe filled with raining frogs, pinguins, sun, being outside, and living, this is the game for you. With tons of expandability because of the easy access to the workshop, there is tens, or even hundreds of hours packed into this game. Not to say that the game in it self doesn't have tons of content, but you can even take it a step futher and buy the multiplayer version/addon. Try to survive with a friend. (If you have any, but it's steam, we all have friends.)

TL;DR
Do you like surival games? Well you are about to. The difficulty in this game scales quite well, and if you're up for the challenge, take it, and see how far you come.

Overall score, 10/10

Basicly if you play any game, play Skyrim, play TESV, play a Bethesda game, record any game, like any game, breath air. You would want to buy this software/game. This software supports tons of games, and makes it so much easier to out-tab games such as Skyrim, without having to restart your computer each time. Also if you are a content creator, like a YouTuber, it's great if you need to keep track of other things such as sound whilst playing a fullscreen game.

TL;DR
Play any Bethesda games? No, well you will probably need it anyways.

Overall score 10/10, helped me lots.

Path of Exile is another great example of a Diablo type game. However unkown to me at first, since I just started playing it, it's far, far better than any of the games in the Diablo series. If you've played any isometric-type, farming, looting, grinding game then you already know what you are getting yourself into with this one. Another great game, not as famous as Diablo or any games alike, but it sertaintly deserves it. The late-game is what you will be aiming for in this game. However, to reach this you have to go through a couple of hours of grinding and looting, whilst creating a character which is completely unique to all others. With an immense skilltree, with every perk avaliable to reach on every charather, you can truly create some unique builds. Want a spell-casting marauder? Feel free. Want a heavy assassin? Feel free. The possiblites of character custimaztion done right are endless.

TL;DR
Played Diablo? This is better. If you like grinding games, like Diablo, Borderlands ect you will most likely love this game as well. A bit hard to start off, but once you get going you won't stop.

Overall score 10/10.

Okay, so I am a fan of this series, and sadly I followed the hypetrain for this game. When it released it promised so much, and delivered. But not enough to keep up with the insaine hype. Bethesda tried something new here, and I aploude them for that, they have succeded in creating a great game with hundred of hours of content and lots of features, but in order to do all this they sacrificed some of the features that made me fall in love with these games to begin with. For example, it's dumbed down quite a lot, just like Skyrim. Another thing, and even more major, is that they didn't focus as much on the role playing aspects as they previously should. This might be okay for some people, but it was not what this series was to begin with. The engine is another thing worth mentioning, it's the same, however upgraded it might be, as the Skyrim engine. They seriously need to create a new one soon. Other than that I have little to complain about, it's an awesome shooter, and delivers quite well. But if you were following the hype train, just a warning, you might be disapointed.

TL;DR
Overhyped, but still a great game which delivers pretty well to be running on an engine from 2011. If you are unsure of if you should buy it or not, wait for a sale.

Overall score 8/10.

The most recent of the Counter-Strike games. Global Offensive, or GO is the most popular of the Counter-Strike games, this is in part because of the skin mechanic within the game, which allows players to use real worlds money to buy and customize their weapons. This does not however, alter the gameplay in any way. Of course, since the player base is much larger than the previous ones, the problems get a lot clearer in this game, and since Valve doesn't seem to care about the game it has gained a bit of a reputation. However, if you like the thrills, and are willing to pay with time to become good, it's by far the go-to shooter. And with the developers doing more than ever to keep the player-base happy, this seems like a good time to jump on the wagon and test it out.

TL;DR
A thrilling action experience, and a time-eater, few other games can compare with, and with a lower price, however, also quite the rage-induceing game.

Overall score 7/10.

Following the line of the Counter-Strike series, this is the third offical game in the series. After the success of the first one, there was a time gap until 2004, when both Counter-Strike Source and Counter-Strike Condition Zero released. This was a long awaited sequel, however, many people were left disapointed, and a lot of the previous Counter-Strike players left this to continue on with the original. But, this sparked another life in this game, and were picked up by many; at the time young people. Even though this game wasn't at all as big in the competetive scene as the previous, it appealed more to new players, and helped the franchise to grow. Not as successfull, nor as good as the original, but still a great game.

TL;DR
Still some life left in this game, however this game is along with it's big brother, quite dead.

Overall score, 8/10

The original uncut realistic-competetive shooter. Back in the days, just after the release of Half-Life, two people decided to create a mod based on this immensly popular game. Little did they know that they were about to create the best shooter to date. Many of those who joined after the hype died down, or rather in newer times will probably not understand, and most likely hate on this game. However, this is the father of the Counter-Strike series, aka the second most popular esport scene. This game spawned many legends, and truly deserves the place it has gotten. A master-piece few other games could ever even hope to compare with.

TL;DR
If you are buying this now, you're a bit late fella. However, if you want to buy it to experience how the newer titles should have been, only with better graphics ect. Feel free.

Overall score, along with Half-Life, 11/10.

After Counter-Strike, Deathmatch, and other mods this is one of the most successfull mods for Half-Life, and in general. As far as I know it has sold over 1M units, and that's for a good reason, this game is truly the sandbox experience on drugs. Do whatever you want. Fly around in a bathtub held up by a blowup, sideways rotating piece of bread. Impossible? Nope. That's what's so facinating about this game. Also another cool thing you get with it, is all the endless game mods, like zombies, trouble in terrorist town, prop hunt ect. for a measly 8£ this is truly value for money. Countless hours of fun, and content, and of course the countless addons, and expandable parts makes this game, or rather mod, fantastic.

TL;DR
If you enjoy sandbox, randomness, free content, endless addons, many experiences, a (mostly) cool community, and endless amounts of gamemodes. Then go ahead, buy this game.

Overall score would be 10/10, one of the best HL2 mods to date.

Too be honest, just buy the original version, you save 20£. What differs from the orginal version is that with this one you are able to tab in and out without having to restart your computer. However, you lose achivements support ect, if you install mods, which to be honest you will. Now if are willing to pay20£ extra for a less supported (by the community) update that let's you tab in and out, be my guest. But I don't recommend it.

TL;DR
Pay 20£ extra for a tab-in-tab-out feature? No?

Overscore for the game is still a 10/10, but buy the other one.
