The horror mini-games are great addition to this Chess game I bought.

Derpy's Quick Review.
Pros:
Cool character customisation, Fun combat and world and monster design.
Cons:
One character slot, Paid utility items and currency for a single player game.

Overall I give Dragon's Dogma 2 4/10
Final Comment: I personally hate when single player games have micro transactions

Derpy's Quick Review.
Pros:
Fun game play, great to play with friends, Game has great cinematic moments, Great way of doing premium currency and store.
Cons:
Lack of variety on locations as every map is basically the same with different predetermined geographical changes.
Weird balance changes leave most of the arsenal you collect being worthless for the most part.
Community was very united at launch then very quickly delved into being a toxic mass, Most online play is a gamble if you get kicked for doing something "wrong" and that being up to the host.
Power Purging and Under powered weapons on release, Things to needing nerfing from time to time for being far too broken however the game is balanced as if everyone is in a full 4 man squad on comms and are very competent at the game, It leads to problems for random matchmaking and further toxicity as people will happily kick you if you bring the "wrong" things.


Overall I give HELLDIVERS 2 7/10
Final Comment: I loved Helldivers on release, I want to continue loving however I'm getting bored of doing the same thing over and over, the game is too easy on difficulty 9 for me and my friends that we've had to use randomises to add any type of variety and difficulty so the addition of new difficulties will be a nice addition.

Derpy's Quick Review.
Pros:
Some meh cosmetics and premium currency, Great to get on sale
Cons:
Game-pass holders got way more for simply buying the game during a certain time period, It rubbed loyal fans of Darktide the worst way as it was after they did a huge update to the game and the fans basically felt like they were used as beta testers for the final product without knowing it.

Overall I give Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Imperial Edition Upgrade 2/10
Final Comment: They did give more to those who bought the game around the time of release but it took massive review bombing to show Fatshark that they betrayed their community.

Derpy's Quick Review.
Pros:
Fun combat system, New talent tree offers a lot of diverse customisation compared to previous iteration.
Cons:
Very slow updates, Community can be slightly toxic.
FOMO styled shop that is constantly rotating, they claimed it was to make it simplistic yet Vermintide 2's cosmetic shop is very easy to understand and all the cosmetics are added permanently meaning you can buy when you want to, basically they lied about the reason they have the FOMO shop as they are very greedy with it, when the game first launched it had major problems with stability and before patching them they added the FOMO shop first.

Overall I give Warhammer 40,000: Darktide A 5/10
Final comment: The game needs TLC and Fatshark needs to pull their finger out and be more respectful.

Derpy's Quick Review.
Pros:
Better engine than before allowing for a smoother feeling of gun play, Interacting with things feels much better than Payday 2.
Cons:
Very little content, Very little updates, basically no communication with the community and their critiques of the game.

People complained about the armour system as for higher difficulties on loud you have to bring armour to survives, No point bringing health as armour stops you taking health damage and you would just end up being in a constant cycle of healing->damaged->healing.

The lasting community of the game are very narrow minded, they blow smoke up Overkill a$$ and in turn they only ever respond to these very few people on social media, they basically never address criticism.

There is a reason why it went from 70K players on launch to having sub 1K post updates and very frequently goes below 600

Overall I give Payday 3 3/10
Final Comment: The game needs to turn itself around and fix its core problems, I never got into the planned paid cosmetic store they wanted to add but had to push back.

Derpy's Quick Review.
Pros:
Fun tower defence, Great Solo or Co-op with friends, Regular update.
Cons:
Some delay in action in Co-op, Lot of Cheaters clutter up the leaderboards.

Overall I give Bloons TD 6 8/10

Overall I give Evolve Stage 2 a 5/10

Derpy's Quick Review.
Pros:
Another fun Souls game, Great fun in exploration and Levelling, Great Bosses and Epic Music.
