Only just reached Dargonus and I felt compelled to give a review. The team is clearly passionate about the source material. They've created one of the most faithful Warhammer 40K games I've played in a long time. I went into this game with low expectations because of some unfortunate reviews I read or watched, but I gave it a shot anyways, and this game really surprised me. There are a few bugs here and there, but they've all be purely visual so far, and temporary. If you're a fan of Warhammer 40K, CRPGS, or just curious about either, I encourage you to give it a try.

An incredible hidden gem. I can't recommend it enough if you enjoy games like Baldur's Gate, XCOM, or the historical Total War titles. A shame the developers have been all but extinguished thanks to Embracer Group. There is so much potential and talent on display here, I would've loved to see and play whatever game they made next.

I put this game off for far too long because I watched and read far too many reviews talking about how it's nothing but exposition and cut-scenes with a bunch of frustrating walking in between. Epic gave this game out for free one day and I grabbed it thinking I might as well give it a try sometime. There it sat in my Epic library for years, collecting dust. I finally ran out of games to play on Steam so I peered into Epic to find something to play, discovered Death Stranding, and figured I'd give it a try.

It took only playing the first couple hours for me to immediately uninstall it from epic and buy it on Steam so I could play the Director's Cut. This is one of the best games I've ever played and I regret so much putting it off for so long. The sheer amount of feelings this game's atmosphere, set-pieces, tone, and soundtrack generated for me alone is enough for me to recommend this to anyone and everyone. But beyond that, it is a masterclass in gameplay, graphics, and storytelling.

Without giving away too much, this is a story of people coming together, a story about fatherhood, a story about perseverance, a story about the end of the world and mankind raging against the dying of the light. If you haven't played it yet, and are looking for a sign to jump in, this is it. Play this game.

I can't wait for Death Stranding 2.

Incredible truck driving sim that I would probably have spent a LOT more time on if I had the right peripherals. Trying to play this on just a mouse and keyboard is brutal. Still highly recommend this if you like driving trucks and have a steering wheel, pedal, and stick shift you can plug into your computer.

Game ran great for me, I can tell the developer cares and worked hard on this. Such a shame about how incredibly boring and grindy it feels. Progression happens at a snails pace and you're constantly balancing multiple tedious mechanics that constantly tick down. Really cool idea, implemented poorly.

Absolutely oozing style and passion, with a killer soundtrack to boot, this is definitively the most well polished and functional "slav-jank" game I have ever played.

That said, it is still Slav-Jank. If you aren't able to handle some jank and signature kooky slavic weirdness here and there, hold onto your money and look elsewhere.

Those of you who can look past all of that, prepare yourself to enjoy one of the best triple-A narrative driven singleplayer fps/rpg experiences of the last few years.

Teyon you magnificent bastards, you did it again. As a super-fan of Robocop, I could not have asked for a better love-letter to the series. This is THE Robocop game, just like the previous Terminator game was THE Terminator game. I'm extremely excited to see what this dev releases next, I just know it will be incredible.

A damn good fps rpg, the most faithful recreation of a beloved film franchise into a video game, and probably the best Terminator game ever made.

When you finally get it to work in multiplayer, this is one of the best co-op gaming experiences you'll ever have.

The perfect co-op game. If you have a buddy and haven't played this with them yet, you're missing out on one of the best perks of having a buddy.
