Valve. It's time to step in and do something about the game. I cannot deal with the cheaters any longer.

♥♥♥♥ you Sony, you piece of ♥♥♥♥. Of course you had to ruin all the fun. Go ♥♥♥♥ yourself.

THE ROLLBACK IS REAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!

I really, really really liked this story. The game's about three to four hours, depending how fast you read. Also I would like to mention that this game works a lot more as a on rails story type of game, and not something where your decisions have HUGE impacts on the game. There's about two in total that really matter, but I won't spoil them. The twist, while honestly I saw somewhat coming, regarding a certain someone, i still enjoyed it a lot.

DO IT BROOOOOOOOOOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I don't really like the fact that CS GO was straight up just removed. Could they really not have just ported all the skins to CS2, and leave GO like 1.6 and Source? Also Many people are just unable to play the game anymore because the specs requirement coming out. Why the hell do we have loadouts... Valve, maybe sometimes I DO want to use the Sawed-Off to mess with, or the Bison, or an M249. Now I can't even do that without nerfing myself for the entire game.

Props to the guy who gifted this to me. This is one of the porn games ever. Gave up at level 7 because I didn't have the patience to do the harder ones. Good game if you can play with one hand

Paladins.. truthfully I haven't played this game in a long, long time. That however doesn't mean I don't keep up with what the game's doing. Paladins is a hero shooter akin to the likes of TF2 and Overwatch. There's many characters you can play as, some weaker while others stronger. The main draw of Paladins is the deck building. Every character has like 20 cards (I could be wrong about the number). About 5 designated to all abilities except the ultimate. They modify numbers, cooldowns even your base health, movements speed etc. It allows for self expression and leaning into a playstyle you love even more.

Monetization wise, Paladins has microtransactions for cosmetics. From Profile Avatars, to sprays, death effects and announcers, to skins. Speaking of skins, this is a double edged sword I'd say. On one hand, the skins are amazing for the most part, some even having unique voice lines for characters and such. On the other hand though, it can mess up the artstyle of the game a lot. There's this giant turtle with an anchor and a cannonball, scary stuff really. His voice pierces your ears and sounds all-mighty. Only for the devs to turn him into a cute plushie with cute voicelines. See what I mean? It doesn't really bother me all that much but I know some people who do care about this sorta stuff.

Gameplay is exactly what you'd expect from a hero shooter that's heavily inspired by OW. Though, back in the day this was the free alternative before ActivisionBlizzard made the game F2P. There's four roles in the game. Support, Damage, Tank and Flank. Most of these roles are self explanatory, but what's Flank got different than Damage? To get a grasp of the role, I'd describe flanks as damage dealers with high movement abilities. They're able to zip around the map faster and easier compared to your average damage dealer. They have lower health than any other role. When playing flank you sorta have to know the map routes and stuff like that. You're supposed to well, flank the enemies. Duh.

Performance is not great... even on very modern computers this game is a nightmare to run. It crashes randomly, has the most bugs out of the three hero shooters, and the servers are just downright horrible after they had to downgrade a long time ago. I will also say the game looks VERY VERY bad on low graphic settings. Like, incredibly horrible. Thought that was important to add.

So if I had this many issues with the game, why would I STILL recommend the game to anyone that's stumbling across my review? Well, because I believe in the heart of Paladins. The highs are so incredibly high, but the lows are rock bottom... so, what are you waiting for? Try this game out for a few hours, see if you like it or not.

You know what, this game really has a lot of potential. The artstyle is a huge plus in my book, I love games with stylized graphics. It'll make it so it'll never really age. When it comes to the gameplay, ♥♥♥♥'s addicting. A neutron activates in my brain every time the ball goes back and forth faster and faster. I will say there's literally no way for me to understand EVERY mechanic in the game or what item works on what, but at the same time you can just pick whatever and roll. A minor complaint I have is the lack of role suggestion. I'd like if it was shown on the character's summery if they're more so geared to play in the goal or on the field. Every character has a unique playstyle and I like that a lot. The slime girl is really focused on setting up for trickshots or a lot of pressure. The girl with a ponytail and red highlights (I don't remember everyone's name just yet) seems to me like a type of character that is a lot more focused on fighting the other team. The fighting can be very annoying, especially when you can tell someone's clearly targeting you. It's like they're not even focusing on the core. Game also works wonders on ♥♥♥♥♥♥ internet, I dunno how the devs did that honestly. I've seen some people ask for a training mode, which well, would be pretty sweet to learn character abilities in a controlled environment. It also took me a bit to understand how the Q ability works properly... I don't know if I just didn't pay enough attention or the explanation wasn't clear enough. Oh yeah there's a lot of things the game throws at you and it CAN be a bit overwhelming, especially with the huge block of text. My suggestion would be to direct the player with an arrow or something to a tutorial that's voiced by a character. Yeah, that'd cost more money but me personally, it's easier to invest in it when I'm being talked to, rather than having to read a whole bunch. F2P game means cosmetics are the main way to monetize the game. I don't mind that at all, and the battle pass isn't bad looking either. I'm not exactly sure but if you play for long enough I think you can obtain it for free. Rewarding dedication is really good! And it doesn't hurt spending players because they can use it on other cosmetics, emotes, etc. The art team also killed it when it came to the emotes. At least I think the art team was behind it anyway. Genuinely cute and funny. Also thanks for not having a chat feature, that was a good call in this instance.

The developers also seem to be very active and reply to reviews, be it ones with memes, critical ones (I'm super happy to see they read them and take it in consideration) and just positive ones too. I feel like this game could get really far and have it's own niche audience. Having it F2P is a huge W for introducing new players, it's easier for the community to grow too. I usually don't write reviews this long because the games I buy/play often I feel like don't need a huge review, but seeing as Omega Strikers is still starting out it might be valuable for the devs and everyone working on this product. I also managed to find this game by word of mouth, so that's good. There's a mobile version of the game as well, it's rated 3.6* in the Android Store, though I'm not sure if its because of its instability or because the demographic of mobile players VS PC players is just incredibly different. I swear some of the mobile app reviews make me question if we're using the same app sometimes...

Overall, Omega Strikers is amazing fun especially with friends. Now, if you play solo like I do sometimes it might not be as fun. I've also had issues where I'm paired with less experienced players on my team, versing people who've played for a whole lot longer than me. Maybe matchmaking needs to be looked into but at the very least I'm thankful that the matches are quick to find. More game is better than waiting in que! I also am not surprised if the playerbase of League Of Legends overlaps a bit with this one, I've seen some very stupid people either just stay in a corner or refuse to play, or even straight up disconnecting. I've had a match where both my teammates disconnected on me. The enemy team felt so bad, that one of them playing as the mechanic small woman with dark hair decided to flat out just play on my side of the field. We had some fun before they just, let me win.

So that's the both sides of the Omega Strikers community, the duality if you will. Oh one last thing, I usually avoid mobas for this exact reason but, I really don't like rooting, silencing and mechanics like that. So please in the future keep this in mind, as I don't want the game to become a stunfest. Omega Striker looks the coolest and is at its most fun when both teams push with the core with some bashing every now and then. Would recommend giving it a shot at least! I mean, the game's free. The most you could lose is like, an hour of your time.

After nearly 90 hours of gameplay, I finally finished the main story. Yakuza 0 is an amazing game. From absolutely amazing fighting sequences and verity of ways to crush your opponents, I cannot recommend this game enough. It's worth every penny or cent you pay. The story kept me on edge the entire time. There were few things that annoyed me in the game, such as the opponents having super armor. Certain ones get brutal. Besides that, no complaints from me.
