Preliminary review based on just a few hours of play!

I could never get into the previous Dragon Age games for a plethora of reasons - but mostly because I think I never came to them early enough. I was playing Origins and Inquisition years after they had come out, and the gameplay felt ancient in Origins, and stale in Inquisition. I think it's fair to say, however, that Veilguard has absolutely mastered adapting the formula of Dragon Age for the modern day audience.

Combat is fluid enough, while retaining the unique features Dragon Age has been known for - the pause time and use abilities menu even feels more like a return to past games than a further simplification after Inquisition. There are quality of life features everywhere, and the game is pretty yet also runs well.

I'll update this with thoughts on story and dialogue when I'm further along, but for now, this is absolutely a positive review.

Starfield is, without a doubt, the most immersive, roleplay friendly and visually interesting world Bethesda has created since Morrowind. It improves on so much that was lost with previous Bethesda titles, and makes me genuinely feel like I can abandon the main storyline (in NG+) and experience just as much of the world.

I highly recommend this game for anyone seeking an immersive experience in a sci-fi setting. I am obsessed.

While a touch buggy, Imperator: Rome is a game with a lot of potential, and a great basis to be built upon. While, as with any other Paradox grand strategy game, the release will not compare to the game a few years down the road, this means that we can play now, and enjoy it now, not just in a few years.

It would be dumb to call the current game early access, but if you can't handle a few bugs and a bit of jank, this isn't the game for you. However, if you can cope with those, and have an interest in the period, Imperator: Rome is one of the best strategy games released in the past year.

Wow. Just wow. I wasn't expecting much, what with the game being from a different team entirely, but they nailed it! I am so excited for Episode 2. Definitely a must-buy after playing Life Is Strange.

This game is incredibly beautiful and powerful, and well worth a play - despite being just about 100 minutes long. I recommend it with all my heart <3

This game is totally unfun in multiplayer, and that's what it pushes you towards, with Take-Two Interactive doing everything they can to make the singleplayer even less fun - for example, issuing a cease and desist on a huge singleplayer mod platform, basically disabling most mods.

Absolutely consumer unfriendly behavior. Just look at the microtransactions for multiplayer, and the grind if you want to avoid them.

This game is great for anyone who loves alt history. Want to see what would have happened if Hitler lost power before WW2? Or what would have happened if the USA became Communist? Even without mods, the base game makes scenarios like this possible, but with mods the possibilities are endless. An amazing game.

This game is the best armed forces simulator out there. It's customizability is it's strongest point, allowing players to create missions, and to run these on servers, allowing a infinite amount of possible scenarios. If you liked ARMA II, get this. If you played Battlefield 3 or 4, and thought, 'I like this, but I want more realism', get this. Cannot recommend enough.

Not just a 2D Minecraft clone, this games has a charm that can't be described. Anyway, if you like dungeon runs, clay pots and dirt, this game's for you!

This is amazing!
