This course is easier than the first course from the base game, with the hardest holes having a par of 4. This makes no sense, as I was able to complete classic mode in 10 minutes on my first try, meaning each hole took less than a minute ON MY FIRST TRY FOR A COURSE I PAID 9 DOLLARS FOR. No one will find this course at all challenging if you've played the base game before, which is the only context that buying this DLC makes sense in. On top of this, the pricing is completely indefensible, this is one the the big reasons modern gaming sucks. Just give me the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game I payed for, especially when your DLC is so obviously low effort, you greedy bastard men.

Outlast is a fantastic horror game. As somebody relatively new to the genre, the game felt exciting, thrilling, and, of course, scary through most of the game.

In the hope of not spoiling anything, the first impression is amazing. The sense of dread you'll inevitably feel after the beginning is awesome, and stayed for a couple hours in my playthrough.

The puzzles are great, finding a good balance of difficulty while never feeling too involved or convoluted. As someone who, admittedly, isn't great with puzzles, I never found the need to use a guide.

The enemies are where the game has a bit of an issue, and that's in enemy variations. While the enemies you meet for the first half of the game all do a good job of being scary and threatening, the game tends to recycle enemies and doesn't introduce new ones very often, meaning you'll be often running away from the same enemies, which gets repetitive.

Difficulty wise, I'd recommend hard mode for most people who've played horror games before and are more familiar with the structure of these types of games. Normal mode is, in my opinion, a little too generous, but could be the way to go for someone brand new to the genre or for somebody not looking to be challenged but rather just scared. Nightmare and insane difficulty does a great job descriptively.

All in all, I'd give the game a 7.5/10. The reason I give it this score is due to the fact that I sorely wish that Outlast's second half continued to be fresh and as scary as the first half. Once you've played the game for a few hours, the game seems to run out of fresh ideas and while the game doesn't become boring or predictable, it certainly feels like the creators didn't try to fix what wasn't broken, which is fine, just a little disappointing considering how amazing the first impression was. I highly recommend Outlast.

A definite must have virtual reality game. Both very fun and addicting. Once you get to expert/expert +, it becomes a real workout too. It's a no-brainer, especially if you like electronic music.

Good up until I lost 1.5 hours of progress from a crash. Infuriating.

CS:GO Review
Best FPS game for competitive gamers. Very rewarding, fun with friends, and has an infinite skill cap. Play this game if you want a game more engaging and rewarding than your typical FPS game. Not for the feint of heart or the easily triggered.
