9/10

-1 point for the stupid a** RNG fight with The Enduring

PS: Please devs, let me use Dreadwing as a mount in the sequel

Game is buggy af. Textures not loading, plane with no cargo on cargo mission. Not enough fuel to fly to destination but if you skip the flight, the plane consumes no fuel at all, constant frame drops and freezes on an above-average gaming setup (I checked and there is no bottleneck for medium garphics settings, why tf does it dune like sh*t). And did I mention that some planes tend to spawn without any sound at all, or with crew and passengers above/below/outside of the plane? Yeah...

positives: gameplay, car customization, atmosphere (not a horror like, but sometimes scary), graphics (simplistic, but works well), optimization

negatives: story ending (a bit disappointing), UI (it has a nice style, but might take time to get used to it)

Verdict: A beautiful indie game, but it took me 3 attempts to get into it (either wasn't in the mood to play it or didn't feel like I understand the mechanics). Recommend to use m&k for movement and controller for driving

FINALLY! A city builder game where decorations aren't just to make your city pretty. Some of your citizens will actually require decorations in their vicinity to upgrade the building they live in. And bigger decorations have greater reach.
LOVE IT!

Another game that adds required features months after launch...
**** off with your anti-cheat

positives: graphics, gameplay loop, weapons/builds variety, gunplay, coop mechanics (team reload, healing other players), player base

negatives: bugs, weapons/enemies/planets balance (getting better, still not optimal tho), Sony (still haven't forgiven them for trying to squeeze in their PSN account requirement)

Verdict: With all its flaws, still one of the best online games I have ever played, love returning to it regularly

I've played many great games. But this is the game of my life.

GOTY 2023

PS: if you want to kill a loot bug, one player is enough. 3 is overkill, most of you will likely kill each other

A jewel among indie games. It could be a bit cheaper, but I'm willing to pay a little more for an original idea.

Mafia has a great story, amazing cars, combined with a very satisfying graphical and sound design. That's about it. The rest kinda sucks.
I have played the game on the hardest difficulty, the way it's probably supposed to be played. How did it change the gameplay? Let's just say you multiply all enemy stats by 2 or 3? More health, more damage and cops start rubberbanding af. Many of these things would be forgiven if the game was 10 or 20 years old...but this is a definitive edition, released in 2020. Is this really still the only way to increase difficulty? Just make all enemies soak bullets as if they all had some sort of armor plates?
I'm glad I got this game on sale, because I do not think it's worth 40 bucks. Missions were fun, but in the end, I got a bit tired of our 3 lads who managed to take down an entire enemy gang, rob a bank (only 2 guys were needed there, actually), steal stuff from 2 or 3 elite police groups (feds, border police and maybe some other aswell) and survive it all. Also, I think I forgot to mention that the protagonist is not some long time gangster, he used to drive a cab. Guess he is now the best shooted AND driver Don Salieri has...very interresting...
