Terrific game. Having played the first 2 Baldur's Gate, BG2 being my favorite game of all time, I have to say this game lives up to its expectations.

In a time of premium battlepasses, microtransactions, premium currencies and very shady practices rife in gaming, this piece of art was a breath of fresh air that reminds us what gaming is supposed to be.

Shame that this will not impact the industry in the way it could, as EA, Activision-Blizzard and Ubisoft for example are stuck to their greedy and anti consumer ways, but it might inspire new developers and small existing ones to stick to fine game making and not greedy practices.

Extremely recommended to any RPG fan, specially Classic RPG fans such as myself.

Really good game. It innovates a lot of areas whilst keeping it fun and uncomplicated. Recommend if you have some friends to play online, as solo it might get boring quick.

Great football manager game. Expands on previous iterations whilst maintaining the "core feeling" of the game.

Match engine is much better than last years, although it still has a lot of work to be done. Don't despair if you suffer a goal because your defender passed to the goalie instead of clearing it out. It happens to me and everyone quite frequently. Less frequently the better your team is. With Ipswich Town, I was suffering goals like that every 2 months give or take. At Liverpool, I've only suffered it 2 or 3 times over 8 years of in-game time. Nothing game breaking but it sure can ruin cup runs and possibly league titles.

I would like to see the role playing aspect expanded if possible, maybe something you can do with your money or social interactions with other managers or players. I feel there is a lot of potential on the role playing side and less on the football side as it is already at a very high level of detail.

Get it on sale for 50% or more, no point in paying full price.

Amazing game, trims the fat of the predecessor whilst adding new and exciting features (post-launch mind you). Recommend heartily to any Paradox fan or CK player. DLC is a must.

Just dont trim more fat or it starts to lose that good CK thickness and start to feel more like Civilization or CK-lite

Aight so I reviewed this game when it came out and gave it negative then switched to positive. Now new review. The publisher and developer (I assume) have chosen the path of pure utter greed and disrespect of the playerbase as other mmos sometimes do, Lost Ark isnt alone in this.

The game is a glorified mobile game with gacha mechanics and amazing combat gameplay. Possibly the best combat/gameplay and classes in an mmo. Too bad theres a whole structure of greed, predatory tactics and casino mechanics obfuscating the amazing core gameplay it can offer.

Stay away from this game unless you wanna work pro bono for imaginary numbers on a screen and quite possibly be tempted to buy in game items with real money and helping out Jeff Bezos get another 500 million yacht. AGS does it again. One more great mmo with huge potential flushed down the amazon toilet

This game just mocks you all day long. Every update from the devs bar one, makes the game worse. Either grindier or less fun, sometimes even both. If you try to main this game, as I have, it will mock u in the end run as it is right now. Problem is I dont have any other game to play right now so im kinda stuck with this piece of ♥♥♥♥. Seriously, dont buy this game, in the long run you will come to hate it. The devs have no clue what they're doing, they don't even know their source code, its a sham. Stay away

A must have for CRPG fans, be it new or veteran. Sets you up perfectly for the sequel, which is IMO the best RPG video game ever made. Endless replayability with a deeply complex system based on AD&D 2nd edition rules gives you a sandbox game to fulfill all your character ideas

Great free to play game, easy to get into, hard to master. No aggressive monetization and p2w mechanics, recommend

This game ruined other 4X space games for me...

It has a unique and unparalleled depth and customization, loads of replayability, tons of different play styles and a huge support for mods! The graphics and UI are a bit outdated, but with some fine tuning in the settings, your native resolution should look fine, not sure about 4K tho. If you like 4X space games or strategy games in general with a lot of depth, this is the best game there is right now. This game is the kind of game that you go to sleep whilst thinking of your strategy and who to attack next, and you want to share it with someone!!

Be careful if you get this game tho, cause for the first two weeks you don't really leave the house until you dominated the galaxy with your industrial rat mining population.

OK, this game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ kick ass that I lost a save file with +250 hours on the PS3 then bought it on PC just to start over again and play it.

The best game so far to mix the RPG and FPS genres, creating an endless replayability value. With 4 distinct characters (same classes from Borderlands 1) initially, comes a huge variety of gameplay styles suited for every kind of player, you even discover new ways to play that you thought weren't fun. You begin the game REALLY underpowered compared to say level 25, as each skill point is really valuable. The game is really fun, you get sick kills doing random ♥♥♥♥ that you wouldn't be able to do in a normal game. It's the kind of game where you can whatever the hell you want. With a bazillion guns, the loot mechanic is solid, although sometimes you'll have wait a few levels to upgrade your gun. The drop rates are kinda messed up I think, I've been able to get a legendary every 2 times I go to a certain boss, though I've been 50+ times with others and haven't got their legendary drop.

The story is amazing, especially if you played Borderlands 1, it's that kind of game where you have a strong opinion about every character you come across, caring for the good ones. You meet tons of characters that have hilarious writing and back stories, whilst expanding on known ones like Cl4pTr4p. Expect having to walk a lot in the game, they could have put more cars in the maps, but some maps are amazing, like lynchwood, the dust and the first area.

The graphics are better than Borderlands 1, but in the same comic style, adding to a unique experience. The game doesn't suffer much from technical problems, like frame rate drops, crashes and other stuff. It crashed once so far in 50 hours, rarely drops frame rate, usually when entering a new area.

In summary, get this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game and it will change your gaming life for ever
