A superb RPG with just the right amount of depth it needs. A perfect adventure game.

This is a very hard game to recommend.
I love Piranha Bites games and the open-world RPG formula the use and the first half of Elex 2 is no exception. But the second half feels like it loses it's way. They start throwing huge hordes of enemies at you for you to kill and it just doesn't feel right.
So I would recommend the first half but not the second.

It's short, but decent. I'd recommend waiting for a sale and then jumping back into the game for this DLC.

This game was a bit of a roller-coaster for me in terms of my own personal enjoyment.
I wanted a chill fishing game so I got a bit frustrated with all the story-related puzzles the game throws at you. A lot of them are really cool but my the time I got to the last chapter I was really over it. Especially because they throw a lot of really un-fun mechanics at you in attempt to make the last act a bit challenging. Once I pushed through it and finished the story I went back to collecting all the crazy fish species and I ended really enjoying it.
For the most part, I had a lot of fun with the game, just be wary of a few frustrating parts to push through but it's worth it for the interesting story endings.

Grim Dawn is a great Action-RPG. It has all the usual aspects that you can find in the genre: levelling, assigning attribute and skill points, crafting, looting. All of these things are on-par with the best in the genre.
The combat can seem slow at first and not as slick as something like Diablo 3. But once I got my head around it I realised it has a really unique feel and rhythm to it.
There's a few things that set this game apart from the others:
You can pause the game at any time.
The camera is zoomed-out quite far allowing you to see more of what is around you.
It has an open-world which is a pleasure to explore and find hidden areas and secrets. I much prefer this hand-crafted feel the game world has and learning the different paths to take in subsequent playthroughs. The other unique thing is the faction system with the different reputations which is just a great idea for this style of game. The story and lore is also really decent. Another thing that sets it apart is how they've managed to make playing defensively really satisfying.
Playing Hardcore is an absolute joy in this game and probably the most fun I've had with an ARPG. The progression is very satisfying and you can really feel the difference in every upgrade you make.

Very Good adventure game.

An excellent little RPG.
Great story that doesn't take it's self to seriously.
Some really cool character progression systems that make every little upgrade noticeable and worth it along the way.

This might be one of the best JRPG's I've played. It's got everything we've come to expect from a good JRPG: Interesting characters, a world to explore, waifus, a story about saving the world from evil darkness... It's all there.

I went into this game having only played Dragon Quest 1 & 2. and it doesn't seem like too much has changed over the years from it's core design, unlike Final Fantasy.
It's like they know what the series is and just build upon that and modernise different systems and add quality-of-life.

The combat is pretty-much the same as the older games except the big change is there is no random encounters and there's a more dynamic camera system. You can see the enemies while running around in the field and can choose to engage them or not. This let's you set your own pace and I think it's a nice change that helps keep the game up-to-date in the genre.
The other big change I noticed is how early on in the game you unlock fast-travel. In the older DQ games you wouldn't acquire the fast-travel spell "Zoom" until much later in the game once you'd gotten the main character to a certain level. In DQ11 you reach a point quite early in the game where you unlock Zoom as a feature after a certain story event. The rest of the spells are learned by reaching certain levels with certain characters - same as the older games.

Nothing in Dragon Quest 11 is over-complicated but everything is just implemented so well. The "Character Builder" is an awesome system that lets you unlock new abilities and increase the attributes of your characters. Much like the license board system in Final Fantasy. There's a fair amount of freedom to be had with each character basically filling 2-3 roles each. For instance, one of the characters can equip staves and be a magic user while always being able to have claws for more of a melee-focus if that's what you want to do.

There's also a great crafting system in the game. It's quite simple but has just enough going on to keep you on your toes and gets more enjoyable as the game progresses.

The world of Dragon Quest 11 is awesome. It's region-based with an overworld that you can explore in a ship. There's a lot of back-tracking but I really enjoyed this because one region connects to the next to give the world the sense of being interconnected and I loved getting to know the different spaces.
Each town has it's own theme which are clearly stereotypes of real life. There's the Spanish town, the Nordic town, the French town, etc. The stereotyping is very strong in this game and it makes fun of itself a lot. I did find it a bit un-immersive seeing places so blatantly based off the real world.

The writing in this game is so good. It honestly reminded me of The Witcher 3 (I know that sounds crazy when you compare the art-styles, but hear me out...) with how you're helping different communities with their problems: Lifting a curse, reuniting long-lost lovers, solving a mystery. It's like a more family-friendly Witcher game. The voice-acting is honestly pretty good. The general tone of the game is quite light-hearted. There's lots of jokes and poking fun at things, but it can also be really sad, and when it does get sad it doesn't feel forced. It's sad because a situation will be generally sad. This is a big issue I've had lately with modern JRPG writing. It seems to not really hit the mark when it comes to trying to be deep and emotional and sad. It can often feel too forced and end up being just cringy and unrelatable. Dragon Quest 11 seems to avoid a lot of this and I found myself really caring about characters and what they had to say.

The difficulty of the game was interesting. I breezed through the majority of this game's main story with only a couple bosses giving me trouble. It's a very easy game for the most part. Then the end-game hits and it gets pretty hectic. The post-story gameplay was really enjoyable though. I loved travelling around the world and finding all the sweet loot and gearing-up my party for the final superbosses. You can max-out your stats if you want but it will take time. The grind is there if you want it.

This a good-ass game.

This game is an absolute treat.
