I've tried both OSRS and RS3 and neither has ever stuck with me. With brighter shores I feel like I am a part of something from the beginning.

The tile based movement, graphics and zone based classing really resonates with me. I'd recommend give it a crack, first 2 chapters are free and you have nothing to lose.
Overall really excited with the direction of this game, we get regular patches almost weekly and with a bunch of content soon to come I am very keen.

I've been having a blast with this game. as long as you stay tabbed in when queueing for server I never wait more than 10 minutes to get in.

Honestly this is just as good as a battlefield game of old, and certainly better than any modern battlefield

As someone who has never liked MMO's, FFXIV really is amazing. The story (while a little windy at times) is absolutley top notch and only gets better. The gameplay is great and the community is friendly.

The worst you can do is try the trial. It has locked down social functions but thats really it. Dont miss out on this game and it's story, it really is something.

World War 3 has the potential to be what Battlefield 2042 never could. The game features a variety of guns and modifications, as well as a unique point capture system that encourages teamplay.

The only gripes I have are the fact that the large battles are only 20v20 (which will expand at some point), and that there are no Australian servers (which are getting added soon).

Overall, the game performs well, but given that it is closed beta it does have it's problems. Regardless, I do recommend you give it a go.

Honestly I adore this game. The turn based combat, the simple mechanics that can be so easily combined for really cool effects and the overall amazing writing and graphics. As a DnD fan, this checks all the boxes and some. If you are hesitant, do it, the game is worth it.

Fortunate Son intensifies

truly a worthy successor to its base game and great mechanics. Improves in most ways on classic insurgency and gives us really nice grapics!

I was initially reluctant to get foxhole. I knew I would love it, at least for the first hour, but thought it would then get stale. I got it during the steam sale, figuring I'd just refund after 2 hours.
I could not have possibly been more wrong.

Foxhole is a topdown team based "shooter" where you win the war by conquering zones. You can do a variety of things ingame, crew tanks, run logistics, be a rifleman or even sneak behind enemy lines and blow stuff up.

I cannot recommend it enough UNLESS you dont like the fact that there is team damage, you die a lot and the game is fairly realistic.

This is a long review, so here’s a basic summary:


Monster Hunter World is an open world action hunting game with a fantasy setting. You choose from one of 14 different weapons, embark on hunts assigned to you by the commission and in turn make better gear. The game has 30 main monsters and a few others, and supports up to 4 player coop play. Overall it is an amazing and unique game with a fun grind and nice visuals!

Now into the nitty gritty bois

The Weapons –
As I said, there are 14 different weapons, 3 ranged and 11 Melee. They all play very differently and require a bit of learning, but are all hella fun to play. Here’s a basic summary of em all
Ranged:
Heavy Bowgun – longer ranged heavy weapon that can act like a shotgun, a rifle, a machine gun, an artillery piece and a poison varying on how you use your ammo. Loads of fun and does good damage while keeping distance from the monster
Light bowgun – similar to its heavy counterpart except faster movement speed, less ammo types and lower damage and range. Also has the ability to place mines which explode on contact with the monster.
Bow –
Again, how you use the bow depends on the arrow coatings you use, but tend to be more elemental damage, where the bowguns are just raw damage. Also keeps you closer to the monster

Melee:
Sword and Shield – you can use potions without sheathing it and it’s a great attack/defence all around weapon for beginners and veterans alike.
Dual Blades – same as above but without the defence of the shield. It’s a button masher.
Greatsword – big, slow, heavy and does crazy damage if you can connect with your target. Hard to learn but fun after you get it.
Long Sword – attacks charge a meter which when full increases damage. Also has a long reach and has good movement. Beware though, it hits teammates if not aimed correctly
Hammer – kinda like the greatsword but you can run and spin with it
Lance – charge attack, shield that takes damage like a boss and a good weapon progression from sword and shield.
Gunlance – reduced capacity shield and cant charge, but has a gun. (why not I guess?)
Switch axe – sword and an axe in one. Lots of damage and very versatile.
Charge blade – the longsword but harder to use and way more rapey
Insect glaive – allows you to jump like an acrobat and also has an insect that gets you buffs.
Hunting horn – hammer but can play songs if the right buttons are pressed, boosts team stats

Overall there is plenty of variety and you will never get bored.

Combat:
Combat in Monster Hunter World is a strange and entertaining combination of button mashing and well timed rolling, healing and reloading. Melee weapons have a variety of combos that can be used in different situations, and ranged weapons have situational ammo types. Melee weapons need to be sharpened every so often and ranged weapons require reloads. Overall the combat is action packed, intense and incredibly fun.

Graphics:
My rig is a 1050 2gb, 8gig ddr3 and an i5-3330. On medium settings I pull 50-60 FPS and the game really is beautiful in a different way to every other game. Other people claim to have issues, but I have none and I am very thankful for that.

Multiplayer:
Overall I have had minimal problem with the multiplayer side of MHW, there was a big patch that fixed a lot of the issues. When a friend joins you the monsters are scaled in difficulty, keeping you on your toes. It’s a really good game to play as a team requires a lot of coordination and is really fun.

Overall great game would recommend
At the moment get it for 15% off at greenmangaming.

Finally, please comment on any pros or cons ive missed as I need to make this the best review possible, including the negatives
and they consistently fix the netcode!
