While everyone has moved on and GTAIV Multiplayer is pretty much somewhat dead, the singleplayer experience is amazing. The driving and the shooting are bit funky, but once you get used to it its very funny to watch crash into a post and see Niko fly out the windshield or push people down the stairs.

Pros
-Interesting story (Episodes from Liberty City tie into GTAIV)
-New York style city
-Loveable characters
-Mod support
-Easy to mod the game

Cons
-Unoptimized
-Modding can be a pain (Sometimes mods uses so much RAM the world dissapears)
-Latest version of the game is unoptimized, but has lots of mods, while earlier versions are optimized better, but lack mods.

Overall good game, pick it up during a sale (maybe even Episodes from Libery City, it includes all 3 games)

No More Room in Hell is a hardcore version of L4D2 without the special infected. Game is created on a modified version of HL2 engine. It's a pretty good game if you want to lay back and shoot some zombies.

Pros
-Realistic gunplay
-Makes you nervous or uncomfortable thanks to the dreadful music and tone
-Makes you desperate to find medkits or bandages, or even pills to keep you alive and not infected
-Zombies are DEADLY, one bit and you're gone, unless you find pills which are rare.
-Ever wanted to be freaked out by little kid zombies? or even running zombies? This is the game
-Dev is active

Cons
-No story whatsoever, it only shows a fraction of a story by the loading menu cutscenes
-Textures are a bit....strange. The cars appear to be made by hand, either to avoid copyright bs or again, crafted by hand.
-No FOV changing, 60 fov at all times.

8/10 could be better.

Ever since its release, Arma 3 has aged like a fine wine. While the single player was average, the bread and butter of the Arma franchise is its multiplayer. There is a variety of game modes to choose from, from your average TDM match to Capture the Base, there is something for everyone to do. Thanks to the Steam Workshop, adding mods to Arma is as easy as 1-2-3 and since Bohemia updated the server browser to work when you open the Arma 3 Launcher, switching to a server/required mods for the server is really easy.

The DLCs, while a bit pricey sometimes, are really worth spending. The Apex expansion for an example adds a whole new map complete with new vehicles for you to try and even a co-op campaign for you to play solo or with friends.Don't have the money to purchase the DLC you want? Not a problem. Bohemia is kind enough to let you use the guns and vehicles from the DLCs but at the cost of the DLC watermark to appear on your screen. I'd recommend to get the DLCs on a sale so your wallet doesn't cry. 1 more thing to mention, the DLC includes a free update which all players have access to. For an example: the Jets DLC's free update includes the ability to use the USS Freedom as a base in your game, as well as the added bonus of tweaking the sensors in air vehicles.

A feature I really like is the Eden Editor. Remember when you were younger and played with toy soldiers and made them fight each other? The Eden Editor is basically that, but a bit more tacky. You can create missions and upload them to the steam workshop for others to enjoy, or simply boot it up and create a scenario to your liking.

Overall, Arma 3 is a really good game to pick up. It's been 3-4 years since Arma 3 launched and Bohemia has continued to develop the game and shows no sign of stopping any time soon. The modding community is very much active and continue to deliver high quality mods for everyone to use. I'd recommend you pick this game up if you're into military sim games.

(BTW, if you're afraid of not being able to run Arma 3 on your computer/laptop, I run Arma 3 with everything low except textured and high distance scaling and get 30-40 fps with a GT 740M and an i7-4500Q. During battles it drops to 20 to 10 depending on how many infantryman/explosions are near me.)

One of the best examples of the potential of Early Access games. Prison Architect is a prison building simulator and you are tasked to run and build your prison.

Pros
-Steam workshop
-Active devs (Updates and new content every month)
-Easy and simple!
-New features such as prison gangs, snitches, and even a female npcs in your prison
-Escape mode! Try to escape people's custom prisons or even your prison thanks to steam workshop!

Cons
-After a while you have no clue what to do next.

Pick this game up, it's fun to build a prison and watch the inmates either start a riot or get into a fight with the security forces.

Awesome game, except if you come from consoles AND a COD player, get used to dying a lot. Well atleast for me.

If you're up for a little challenge, get to level 3 and join competative matches. Bam, your done. Easy XP and cases if you're lucky.

Game is "fine", bit stale at times and the multiplayer is just a grindfest. Singleplayer is nothing spectacular or memorable, but its fine. There's at least singleplayer mods and FiveM which makes the experience better.

All being said, its being developed by a lazy company and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ publisher. You're better off getting this on a sale.

6/10

It's ok now. The damage has been done, the wounds have begun to heal. But the scars will forever remain.

We have microtransactions which were originally not planned since day one, but Overkill saw potential in getting a little bit of money and tried to go with the cases system from CSGO. THATS how it got people mad and made the whole Payday 2 Crimefest circlejerk start. Even with the whole messed up safe system OVK has in PD2, it's still a fun game.

Game's been broken from the very beginning and its abandoned now. Don't buy,

Its alright, the multiplayer portion has moved on to Payday 2, but theres some scattered bunch playing this game. Last time I checked they had 44 players on.

9/10 If you liked Payday 2 consider buying PD:TH to get the roots of the Payday Gang, be warned, Multiplayer might be dead. I'd be worth it if you bought it during a sale since the price is a bit high for a old game, either way, good game, just on its last breath.

Would recommend but no, go pick up Cities Skylines, srysly go do that right now. It is worth every buck, well unless you are a hardcore SimCity fan pick this up instead of SimCity5.
