Genuinely one of my more enjoyable gaming-experiences of the past year. Loads of customization, upgrades and grinding to be done. Get some friends together, sit and fish and talk about crazy ♥♥♥♥. It's great.

Clunky as all-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-hell, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I haven't been this vocally frustrated with a game in a LONG time. This is without a doubt the most frustrating Assassin's Creed-experience i've had, to date. The combat feels slow and sluggish, counter-timings don't always feel sharp or logical, it takes literal hours before you're actually up to speed (get the hidden blade, beat the boss, learn how to leap of faith (i still haven't yet, i have to climb down ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mountains after synchronizing viewpoints. Jesus ♥♥♥♥.))
Not a great experience, but it is what it is.

Great little nostalgia trip but holy hell is this one of the most horrifically frustrating games i've played in many many years (when achievement hunting). I physically had to tell myself to stop playing at times. Crazy ♥♥♥♥. 5 Stars.

First level:
Found a glowing stump.
Walked to the bridge.
Got sent back to the stump.
Found a flower.
Stood on the glowing stump.
Got sent to the bridge.
The bridge directed me back.
Couldn't find anything else.
Got stuck between an invisible wall and a fallen tree.
Quit the game.

Come to think of it, this is probably one of my all-time favourite games. I think i've only truly finished it twice in my lifetime, but played it for many many (many!) hours back in the days. Seriously, for being more than two decades old now, it holds up impressively well. The lightshafts and shadows had me in awe as a kid, and look very good even when held to today's standards. The stealth is intuitive and remarkably solid and it runs on a steady 1660 FPS on my current build, so that's great.

A true classic.

Loads of hackers, and enemies turning on a dime, blasting you through some rocks while being unkillable because of the broken hitboxes in the campaign. Pretty good for a bit, but lost most of its lifeforce along the way.

Absolutely rightfully Steam's GOTY. It's basically digital D&D and it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joy to play (with others). Launch gnomes off of windmills, kill creatures by pushing them off a bridge, throw your-girlfriend-who's-morphed-into-a-cat through a gap in a wall only to realise there's no way for her to get back. It's great.

Serious fun for anyone mildly interested in air-to-air and air-to-ground combat from your very own fighter jet. I for one, played a bunch of Ace Combat on my best friend's Playstation back in the days so this was a great jolt of nostalgia. It's good fun, plays well, has some cheesy worldbuilding names and stuff, but it's all good .

After Brotherhood probably the AC game i've sunken the most hours into. The world is absolutely massive and there's sidequests a-plenty. As for the story; it never really gripped me all that much, but i'm having a lot of fun anyways.

Honestly? Deeply terrible.
There's no physics whatsoever. The car goes, no gearbox whatsoever, you release the button? It stops as abruptly as when you press the supposed 'brakes'. The droning sound of the engine is god-awful so you're better off spamming the boost-button here and there to get some variation.
The track-copies are kinda rad, it's fun to boot one up and figure out which one it is as you go along, but besides that there isn't much here. Then again, it's 50 cents.
