I haven't been this hooked on a game since Borderlands 2. There's absolutely nothing bad I can say about it.

The co-op nature means a vast majority players are friendly and work towards a goal, with surprisingly little salt among the player-base. Even to the point where the community in-jokes were added by the developers.
The difficulty is perfect. It's not too hard at high difficulty, but you do get rightfully punished if you mess up. Never have I been less upset with myself for failing than with this game.
Best part, it has a "battle pass"-type system that's completely free with no FOMO. You can take however long you want and even go back to previous seasons to get the ones you missed.

A million out of 10! A billion! Infinity! The sky's the limit when you don't give a ♥♥♥♥!

Welcome to the Sea of Thieves.
If you so much as exist on the horizon, you'll immediately be hunted down relentlessly by some sweaty no-life because "this is how the game works" and you lose several hours of progress in an instant. Not everyone wants to escape from their parents' abuse by punching down harmless players, you spawncamping losers. "But it's a pirate game, so stealing and sinking ships is part of the experience", you say as you murderhobo across the waves. Other people have a different idea of fun and you shouldn't attack friendlies for your sadistic kicks. That's what TF2 is for.

Oh, but there's Safer Seas, so you don't have to encounter other players. Yeah, but beyond being able to take your time with Tall Tales, it's less rewarding than your minimum wage job at Walmart. On top of that, you only get half of a game you paid €40 for because your progress is hardcapped and the vast majority rewards can only be earned in High Seas. It's impossible to reach endgame content this way. At least nobody will try to justify their bullying while you grind your way to the Gold Curse or whatever else the game allows this way.

It's only fun on High Seas when you can avoid the PvP dorks and have some friends along to speed up the process. My advice, sell often, avoid servers with Reapers, stay in the Devil's Roar where nobody wants to chase you and the loot is so much more valuable. If you see any ship, sail the opposite way and pray they didn't glance in your general direction. And if PvP is what you want, you can just get stuffed.

7/10 on a peaceful day, 3/10 when you get attacked multiple times in several different servers and only got 5k gold and barely two levels in whatever trading company you were trying to grind.

While the visual style is intriguing, I breezed through the entire game so quickly that I was still eligible for a refund. Puzzles range from piss easy to frustratingly tedious. It's fun, but too short for €15.

The puzzles themselves are very vague as to what you're meant to do and I often ask myself what to point of it all is if I don't enjoy solving them. The game only offers "hints" when you bash your head against the wall, if you can even figure out what your inner monologue is trying to tell you. At least I finished this drag, but the ending feels like a load of nothing.

Oh yeah, and this plays a bit like Dev's First Unity Project. Slap it on the Google Play Store and you wouldn't even tell.

It's like playing a D&D by yourself with no scheduling issues.

The only gripe is that some of the characters' dependencies tend to be a little annoying to deal with. I literally ignored Gale in act 1 because I didn't want to get bothered by his magic addiction.

I started playing this in 2013. I was never good at this game, but I still love it and everything surrounding it. For the past 5 years it's been an unplayable mess for reasons you probably already know. Worst part is that Valve abandoned it and won't fix the blatantly obvious.

Best thing Valve can do is either get off their ass and fix the bot problem, or shut the game down like CS:GO. It doesn't deserve a slow death.

I once had an account for this game, but if I forgot to do the e-mail verification thing and it locked me out of that e-mail address forever. Tech support isn't allowed to help you when this happens. ♥♥♥♥ this game, it's not 2011 anymore, we don't need accounts like this

It's scary in the way that Tyler's struggle is so relatable to me. I didn't get very far in the game because several points in the beginning of the game remind me of my own painful experiences, and I haven't touched the game since I got to an important early plot point.

I'll remove this review once I get the courage to go further into the game. But for now, It has been a emotional kick to the nards that hit closer to home than I thought at first glance.

Randy Pitchford did it again, folks. Whenever he's not bullying Claptrap's original VA or making deals with Epic Games, he's ruining his games with a DRM that sits in the kernel level. That's right, Borderlands 3 has Denuvo, the anti-cheat software that makes your Threadripper run like a potato and leaves you open to being bricked.

My tip is to get Gearbox's attention to get this backdoor out of our PC's. This can probably be done with either a review bombing or whatever it is upset people do.

Edit: Okay, this review has gotten blown out of proportion. I didn't think it would get this much attention. But now that it has, there's one big thing I have to clarify:

I still like this game.

Yes, despite the performance issue Denuvo is causing, there's still a lot to like in this game. The only reason why my review is a negative one is to inform people that there's Denuvo in this, which can be a big turn-off for those who want to just ride meat bicycles and throw Shooterangs around.

Before this came out, Borderlands 1 was "just an Xbox 360 launch title" for most. But with better graphics, improved physics and the BL2 minimap, it's not too bad.
