The game looks promising, but frequent crashes during main missions (Yaya’s and Oda’s) make progression impossible. Also, the Tanto glitch in combo mode disrupts gameplay.

New weapons are as mediocre as ever, and honestly, they could’ve skipped the cosmetics (yes, even though they are "free"). A jumpsuit and a skateboard helmet? Really? What’s next, a pair of knee pads for maximum "tacticooll" flair? New maps are the worst yet: oversized and unrealistic. SWAT/COAST sending 4 dudes to clear out an entire cruise ship-sized yacht? Then a whole oil rig? What about a huge resort? Pathetic.

As expected, the new update and DLC have introduced more issues:

- Performance has taken an even greater hit (yes, drivers are updated).
- AI (swat or suspects) frequently floats, warps, or gets stuck in various locations.
- Animations often overlap awkwardly.
- Cosmetics also overlap.
- The taser is bugged and occasionally doesn’t function at all.
- Reload animations glitched when switching weapons.
- Enemy AI remains still borked and somehow even worse, firing rapidly while sprinting.
- Punching suspects is less effective.
- Most mods have been rendered incompatible once again.
- Character voice repeatedly resets to "Judge".
- Suspects/civilians are unarrestable at times.
- I lost all bindings because my LMB wouldn`t work and I had to delete and verify files. Later some controls are still not customizable.

Plagued with issues. A 30+ hour download lacked pre-load or play-as-you-download options. Shader compilation took 14 minutes, followed by repeated 2-3 min loading phases at every startup.

UI and control are poor, with unintuitive keybind changes and awkward defaults like Z/C to lean and L for the flashlight. Horrendous performance, with lags, low fps in "high" npc areas, crashes during emissions and freezes during saves.

While the game’s potential exists, technical flaws make it frustrating at launch. Avoid it for now.

Crime Scene Cleaner is a brilliantly dark and humorous indie gem that mixes easy puzzle-solving with clever environmental storytelling. As a mob cleaner, you scrub away after gruesome crimes while unraveling the twisted stories behind each scene. The game’s protagonist has a personality, and the narration blends dark humor with some emotional depth. Its satisfying puzzles, fun mess-making mechanics, and subtle, yet engaging, narrative make every mission a delight. I just wish the ending offered a bit more closure, especially regarding the daughter’s storyline. There are still some unanswered questions, but I guess that leaves room for a potential sequel. With its dark humor and compelling atmosphere, this one’s a must-play for anyone who enjoys something offbeat and memorable. 10/10!

It looks fantastic, but it is frustrating to play on PC because the controls feel like they were designed for consoles, making even simple actions clunky with a keyboard and mouse. The UI is complex and confusing, and the pathing tool is a chore to use. After two hours of just navigating the prologue, I still struggled with the basic controls and decided to ask for a refund. It's disappointing, as the game has so much potential, but the PC interface holds it back.

Doesn`t run on Steam Deck. Constantly lags and freezes, despite the patch to improve performance.

Constant crashes on Steam Deck. Tried using Proton Experimental, a keyboard/mouse, several reloads and it crashes on the same spot. Apparently the developer abandoned this a long time ago, because this is not a new or isolated issue.

For new players and those unfamiliar with D&D, Baldur's Gate 3 falls short due to its excessive complexity and imbalance. The intricate mechanics and lack of balance make it a less enjoyable experience.

In its current state, Starfield falls short of being a masterpiece. While it offers a fresh take on the RPG genre, it's hindered by various constraints, a few notable bugs (few for Bethesda standards), and subpar performance.

Performance has been a major issue, even with a high-end setup like a 5800X3D and a 3080. Maintaining a consistent 60fps can be a challenge, and occasional lag spikes disrupt the experience even further. And the graphics aren`t the best thing either, passable at best.

-One of the glaring drawbacks is the abundance of loading screens and slow transitions between different game areas (even entering a bar or store).

-The user interface, in particular, is a source of frustration. Instead of enjoying the game, I spent more time struggling to figure out simple tasks and the inventory management system leaves much to be desired. Building a ship is annoying due to poor controls, controlling a ship in space lacks joystick support, and decorating an outpost is a non-starter.

-Additionally, the absence of ground transportation options and the overly arcade-like space combat without substantial space exploration or any flight mechanics is disappointing. It is clearly an RPG, not a space game (maybe a fallout with a space theme).

-The premium content is a joke. I was expecting at least to be able to use a custom skin on several weapons and, so far, I have two (one being a lousy laser cutter) with paid looks. The premium feels like a scam.

However, Starfield ALMOST redeemed itself with meticulously designed planetside environments and engaging stories. Nevertheless, the performance issues and bugs are significant drawbacks, making it difficult to recommend the game until these issues are addressed and resolved.

PROS: Starship Troopers: Extermination brings the intense battles of the iconic film franchise to life in an action-packed gaming experience. With pretty good visuals and immersive sound design, the game captures the atmosphere of the alien planet battlefields. The cooperative multiplayer mode adds excitement and teamwork (a bit on this later), as players join forces to combat relentless insectoid enemies. Solid gameplay mechanics and intense combat make it a must-play for fans of the series.

CONS: Performance is good until the fight heats up. Effects/Particles drop FPS significantly.

There are some annoyances like utilities and weapons not being available in certain classes, and some of these make no sense.

Lack of play modes and maps too.

In ARC mode, there is a major issue with mission design. The GAS collection is the initial objective, but once completed, the ARC initializes and a horde of enemies overwhelms the unprepared base. Problems include the order of objectives, communication barriers, and intentional griefing.

Poor extraction design: players often stand outside the ship for no reason or engage in team killing.

The biggest issue right now is with unsupervised public servers: Griefers and hackers, the latter are not too common but wreak havoc by spamming rockets, invisibility, invulnerability, and other hacks. Griefers also are an annoyance and can ruin a good server by TKing or destroying base assets. Both go unpunished as the only option right now is to report and it doesn`t do anything.

Reporting and/or abuser kicking options are lacking. As an EA game, it is fun, but these issues need attention from the developers.
