Extremely overpriced, most of the former mods for Factorio no longer work with the new version.

Without the QoL mods I cannot play Factorio anymore.

Factories end up looking like spaghetti and I'd rather not play it.

A fun little game. It has it's quirks and I was reticent to play it at first but it's extremely engaging once you get into it.

It kind of gave me Dragon Age Origins vibes but without the dragons. The music is a bit repetitious but other than that I have no criticisms.

Early Access Review
Fun game, as an old sea dog who played Silent Hunter II and III I love these types of games. I don't normally leave reviews and I'm sceptical about early access games but this surprised me. Having played Silent Hunter III with the TriggerMaru mod I had high expectations.

The graphics are high definition and the audio fidelity is rich. I found myself quite immersed in the authentic atmosphere that the game provides.

The crew system is still a bit janky, assigning crew to schedules is unpredictable and the UI when assigning crew can be cumbersome. There is no visible radar station which was disappointing but not a big deal.

Torpedo course can be a little erratic sometimes and calculating angles on the map in resolutions above 1080p can be challenging due to the font sizes.

I hope the game becomes more moddable as I see a bright future ahead of it. Definitely worth a buy if you enjoy simulation games.

Specs:

CPU: I7 6700
RAM: 64GB DDR 4
GPU: GTX 3060 (12 GB)

This is a really really bad DLC which I kind of felt coerced into buying.

The spy system is cumbersome and slow. It takes far too long to conduct operations.

The DLC adds very little apart from a poorly implemented spy mechanic.

The armoured cars are essentially useless. The new support companies add a bit of variation.

In a nutshell I would not recommend this DLC. Buy it if it's on sale, but out of all the HOI4 DLC, this is by far the worst one.

It's a pretty good DLC - I love the new tank designer it allows you to create all sorts of unique variants.

The new officer corps system is great and you can find some fantastic bonuses amongst all the generals/commanders.

I'd definitely recommend this DLC for hardcore players.

I could not link the game to my Steam account and support provided no help what so ever. A complete waste of money. Maybe I'm being overly cynical but I suspect they want to procure email addresses to spam their customers and sell the contact details onto a third party.

* The game requires you to restart just to change resolution and alter minor graphical settings which is another red flag. I own games which are over 15 years old which allow you to instantly change resolution without restarting. There is no excuse for this considering the game was released in 2014.

It is a clear sign that the developers do not know how to flush VRAM and re-scale a window on the fly. It's simple maths & highlights their incompetence.

* The DLC are overpriced and segmented to maximise profit at the expense of the customer. Unfortunately whales are content to support this behaviour leading to the eventual erosion & deterioration of simulators.

* The company behind this game have a sinister reputation - They changed the name of the company after it was revealed that they were installing a trojan onto their customers machines allegedly to counter piracy.

They denied the allegations despite the overwhelming evidence and by renaming the company they could continue such malpractices under a different alias.

In conclusion I cannot recommend this game based on my experience so far. The company behind it are extremely deceptive and prey on the goodwill of their customers.

The future of simulators looks bleak. The cash cows and whales will continue to feed these behemoths, completely unaware that their private data is being sold to the highest bidder.

It's pretty good, it loads quickly, nice graphics, lots and lots of loot. Immense amounts of replayability. Good music, great atmosphere.

The story is okay, evil bad guy takes over the world. You are the hero who has to vanquish them.

The game has some problems in Full Screen. I would like to see more variable graphics settings to disable the particles and pointless effects.

Played it a few times in Multiplayer. Grim Dawn completely destroys Diablo 3 in terms of fun.

I honestly felt coerced into buying this DLC. I didn't want to buy it but in order to maintain a semblance of fun I felt forced to buy it.

The DLC introduces blueprints which you need before you can access certain research upgrades. Several of my favourite mods suddenly became impossible to use due to these blueprints and I reluctantly bought this DLC even though I did not want it.

It adds a several new weapons, a few body modifications, armour, some new weapons, a new Empire group which are incredibly easy to destroy. The Empire bases are duplicates of most of the settlements which provide little to no challenge. Arm 4 of your colonists with sniper rifles and you can easily destroy the Empire settlements.

In a nutshell I feel ripped off and I doubt I'll be buying any more DLC for Rimworld. The AI is still poor and the pathfinding is terrible.

The Mech clusters are just annoying.

The Pyschic powers are VERY underwhelming. If you reduce the cost of the psychic powers you might find the abilities useful but I rarely see anybody using them. The AI was never given the ability to use these new powers so battles still feel stagnant and boring.

For me, this DLC was kind of the final nail in the coffin for Rimworld. It was rushed and little to no care or attention was put into it. It just feels like a cash grab.

Early Access Review
It used to be fun in the early versions. But lately the game just feels like torture.

Initially when I first played it 2019 I could get a thriving software company off the ground with a bit of work on medium difficulty.

The latest features to the game such as fire, crime and the lawyers are a welcome addition but it just feels to grindy during the development phase. Each time I start a new game the idea of doing contract job after contract job to get your reputation high enough to sell your products just seems tedious now.

Software Inc would be more enjoyable if there were more modifiers before you start a new game to control the time it takes to perform certain tasks.

The real pain in the game comes from getting your reputation high enough to attract people to your products.

A toggle switch at the beginning to give yourself a higher reputation would be go a long way to making the game less tedious.

Repetitious, bland and boring. War Thunder is a unique game and fun to play with friends but the devs are money hungry. The game lately has been stagnating.

I usually play Arcade games, I just want to get in and shoot some stuff, I'm not too bothered about realism or immersion. Lately the queues have been atrocious, I usually have to wait 2-5 minutes to get into a particular match.

The user interface is poor, you cannot resize various elements and the crosshair colours often obfuscate with the terrain making it difficult to precisely target your opponent.

Ground targets consist of pillboxes, armoured vehicles and tanks. Through out the years the devs could of added trains and a multitude of different vehicles for the players to shoot at. Instead they have tried to compete with World of Warships and most recently they added helicopters which nobody really asked for. If you're looking for Naval Battles I'd recommend World of Warships.

The controller settings are laughable. I bought a joystick just for this game but due to the cryptic control setup it was virtually impossible to use.

The devs are a bunch of black hearted pirates who swindle their player base and fail to invest the obscene amount of money that they make back into the game. I will continue to play War Thunder from time to time until I lose my sanity. If you're looking for a flight sim avoid it.
