Best game for up to four friends, no matter the distance and platforms they are playing it on.
Why Meh? Even after dozens of hours of gameplay I truly and deeply enjoyed?
Well, it's Meh because I fail to imagine a person I would recommend this game to. This clearly requires some background, so here it is: I've got the game as a video game reviewer, cause that's what I do on a small local stage. I'm also known for giving good, or very good ratings to even mediocre games, cause, well I always try to look at the game through a perspective of an audience that may like it and describe this audience in my reviews. Call it a failed issue of faith, but I have this strong belief that there are no shitty beers, or games (with just a few exceptions in each area).
So, this is what happened with Far Cry: now that I have it I like it, I really enjoy it, but I can't imagine the situation when I would buy it. Everything about New Dawn is weird to a point when it's not exactly clear why it was made in the first place. It's a shitty sequel to FC5, it's even shittier take on the topic of Fallouts and Mad Maxes. Everything within it screams, that it could be another Battle Royale game but it isn't and while there is co-op mode and dedicated missions, one can barely feel it, cause having a partner is purely optional. It has new overpowered and oversimplified (in their use) weapons, so it's also a shitty shooter.
It's properly pink. So that's kind of unique.
I mean this game is a part of Far Cry loop when they make new chapter first, then build a stand-alone spin-off on top of it. Previous examples include Blood Dragon (easy to describe — hilarious, very well written, sci-fi movie like experience), or Primal (again, easy — a first-person open-world adventure in the stone age (like, really, one of the few that exists and completely alone in modern AAA space). In both cases, regardless of the final quality, the original offering and presentation were clear while released product consistent with expectations. New Dawn is just weird. But now when I have it, I do enjoy it. I threw away stupid weapons and set myself certain exploratory goals, just because I had to play it, but then I liked it and played some more. I'm entirely not sure if I'd be satisfied if I'd paid for it, cause I can't imagine the situation in which I buy specifically this expansion. With that said I also have to be completely honest, that even while I enjoy playing around, I could get the same sense by just re-installing Far Cry 5 or playing any other enjoyable game instead. Even after so many hours, nothing sticks out as surprisingly good in general terms and especially in case if a player is already familiar with Far Cry 5.
TL:DR: Nothing, in particular, is wrong with this game. However, nothing in it stands out or feels memorable. It's a sandbox in a very direct sense. Good spot to sit and play if there's nothing else to do... And I have troubles imagining a modern-day gamer with nothing else to do :D.
So I really and honestly do not know for whom New Dawn was made and if those people would enjoy it more than I did.

I haven't played a Saints Row game before but as far as this expansion goes, you don't need to. I started this game just as an intermission before starting a big game and instead of having just mindless fun I was thrown to a boring, tortuous and repetitive fest of broken gameplay and sterile story.
The thing is really over the top and it has like 2 or 3 funny lines but that's it, in order to advance the "story" you need to fill a meter which can be filled with some random missions or challenges (minigames), the problem is that there are like 5 different minigames and you have to repeat them over and over to fill that meter, or you can just mess around which also fills the meter but slower.
Nearly at the end of this torturous game, I was really thinking about quitting it but I played all the way through so you don't have to. It took for me to finish this thing like 5 hours that seemed more like 20, I don't know how people are saying in other reviews that you can play this thing more than that, but hey, is OK to have bad taste. In the middle of the storyline, there's a musical number which is kind of fun until it overstays it's welcome but that's why this review is 1 instead of 0.

The parkour feels really satisfying, which improves upon the original game. The combat is also improved, as it feels pleasant while boring in the original. The game progression was better in the original as it was a linear world progression. However in this one it's an open world that you're travelling nearly the same way in every mission. Still, it's a parkour game and that is enjoyable as **** I beat this game in 3-4 days while attending college classes.
I started playing by a friends recommendation and I really didn't knew what to expect. At first I was caught by the plot of being a terror game on a taiwanese home, which is pretty interesting because there is this notion of gigantic cities and very small places that looks like dirty to live, which creates a great suffocation feeling and I wasn't disappointed, got anxious for most of the game.
But from the half part to the end I as totally astonished by the graphics and the collor palletes. The way the plot thickens and how it is developed is really well made and kept curious the whole time. Still, I guess I need to play it again, because I quite didn't understand the ending lel

The only thing is good is the atmosphere. This gams should not be the game - it should be a movie.
Absolutely crazy hitboxes. Total unfair fights. And yeah - I have passed all the three souls. And the other part of the game is extremely boring walking simulator.

This game started off as a super fun RPG that I loved however I am at the 65 hour mark and finding it next to impossible to beat the elite four with the only way to fix this being grinding, which is what I've done for the last 65 hours. Great game ruined by difficult ending and a lack of a way to combat this other than retracing your steps.
This was the first Kingdom Hearts game I have played and, admittedly, perhaps I should have started with the first game. Story elements aside though, the gameplay is terrible, controls feel unresponsive and the level design is boring. It works in a complete mission and then return to base type way which for the first few missions is fine, but when there are multiple missions per 'day' and you need to return to base four times, it seems a little OTT and unnecessary. Simple enemies take forever to defeat, which means boss fights take even longer, leading to boring and repetitive button mashing.
It isn't all bad however, the characters were fun and interesting and the story progression for the five hours I played was good too which kept me engaged in the narrative.
This bad experience hasn't put me off the series forever as I think I may start with Kingdom Hearts 1 on PS2 and see if that plays any better. This is a side game anyway and so probably isn't totally integral to the story. I am just a little shocked as I haven't seen anyone say a bad word about this series and with this being my first experience playing the series, this game is bad.
This game is fun, but only for a while. The huge map is too big in my opinion, there are way too many random difficulty spikes and the final battle is bizarre. That being said, the graphics are amazing, the amount of fighters/stages to choose from is great and the music adds to the experience too. I don’t normally enjoy fighting games for more than 10 minutes, so for me to have played this for 35 hours means that something kept me coming back.
This game is fun, but very frustrating. When I bought the game I was told it was hard, but I was under the impression of "it's a kids game, how hard could it be?"... turns out the answer is very.
Amazing game. My second favourite game that I've played on the Nintendo Switch. Some random difficult spikes and somewhat feeling repetitive kept this from being an "exceptional" review, but that doesn't stop it from something I would recommend to everyone.
The best game on the system, without a shadow of a doubt.
In the beginning it feels like hard work to carry on playing due to the lack of guidance given with the game, however after around 15/20 hours it gets going and I could not put it down. This was the first Zelda game I had played and I am now looking to play more. If you have a Switch and haven't played this game, go out, buy it and play it!

A good follow up to Origins.
Only complaint is that the climbing feels awkward and slow. Everything else was great.
......except the big bad is obvious the first time you meet [pronoun]

«Underrated»
Absolute shit.
Sure, the gameplay is absolutely terrible, absolutely everything can and will kill you at random in the name of "realism," and the game will constantly take your weapons away, but your horse's testicles will shrink when it's cold, so 10/10 GOTY
Fuck Rockstar for this one, seriously. Absolutely anything you do that the game thinks might be fun will be met with punishment.

Is a fun game but in order to beat it you need to gain some really good reflexes and pass through some bullshit stuff, overall is entertaining and it has a very hard but cool boss (Yellow Devil). I think it holds well to this day.

This was one of the first games I've ever played on a PC! I want to say it came pre-installed on the first computer my family ever purchased, a Packard Bell. Seeing live action footage of the host "Lance Boyle" blew me away at the time and the tracks were actually pretty well designed. (I remember thoroughly enjoying one that was underwater.)

Amazing game/mod. Highly recommended for fans of TES and RPGs

For many people DS3 is an epitome of the quote Hidetaka Miyazaki mentioned: «it's about 'accomplishment by overcoming tremendous odds». And everyone who completed the game knows how really tremendous this odds are.
But I also like another phrase he twitted once: «A well designed world could tell it's story in silence».

Such a great survival game! Rich world, freedom of exploration, interesting crafting, not too punishing for mistakes, intriguing story.
First half of the game is just perfect, for the second half I wish there would be a little more hints where to go and more challenging enemies. But overall it still awesome to the end!
