An absolute masterpiece, its unfortunate that in some ways it was overlooked because it was based of an existing franchise, maybe at the time people thought its just using the name of the licence for some brand equity. I wish more people played this game and I wish I had played it sooner

I miss this game, I wish it was still live, the gameplay was perfect but there wasn't an end game, a competitive ladder to climb or a sustainable revenue stream, I hope they are able to re-release this game one day, the art style is timeless and the gameplay was close to flawless

This game launched in a terrible state for allot of people but only got better with time, its an absolute bargain at sale price and more than worth the asking price

They have made it always online when there is a perfectly functional single played campaign to play which is a bit rubbish. To counter that, this is a game intended to be played with friends or randoms in a party
it is definitely one of the best executed loot games to date with mods that make a huge difference available from the beginning of the game and build diversity all the way in the end game

You should not keep using the same gear you get in early game, the levels do matter and a low level pistol will bring your overall level down which will make the world tiers harder to overcome

This game was built for future tech, wasn't given enough time to polish but its a no win scenario, delay the game, get hate, launch the game, its buggy so get hate. I will say that I trust CDPR to follow through and fix this game, they have earned that much over the years of consumer friendly practices and this game is beautifully dense with atmosphere and even in this state I would still recommend it on PC, the consoles are another story though.

Such a brilliant game, Mayhem mode was originally a mess which killed my motivation to play the game but they have since balanced it so well and I am really enjoying it all again. I would 100% recommend this game, I wish Destiny split the game in 2, a pure pvp mode which could balance for that and then make pve like they have in borderlands, so much fun with so many ludicrously over the top guns and builds

Follow the decision to add another season pass I must say, they could have either decided to not work on this game anymore and make borderlands 4 (or a spin off like the pre-sequel) or they could have done free dlc and put in microtransactions, this is a complete product with additional content available for sale and as it has been successful they have continued to develop for it. The hate is not fair and this game is pretty consumer friendly.
I will say, the cool thing to have done would have been to give out the new classes for free, yes its new content but they are pretty integral to the game so I understand why people would feel like (even though its new additional content) they game being incomplete without them.

Games as a service done right, its an ever evolving game I catch myself coming back to that provides more content for free than many new games due to the luxury of having been actively developed for so long

a really fun game, unfortunately it never gained the attention it needed to truely make it and not enough new varied content to keep people coming back after 35+ hours I felt that I had experienced all the game had to offer and whilst I did love the way the game incentivises playing the objective the experience of each map doesn't really change, I still love this game and still enjoy it

This game is beautiful and intuitive, it takes the do/show don't tell model of story telling and makes you feel engaged by the world and flow of gameplay, there was another game though the art direction was completely different, Brothers a tale of two sons, the games mechanics told the story rather than any dialogue, I feel that same level of intrigue that I felt playing Brothers though the feel of the world and stories being told are completely different.
I've just passed the level after you meet the turtle, I'll avoid saying anything spoilery but the subversion of my expectation was amazingly executed.
I'd recommend this game for anyone who isn't looking for the next 40 hour game but prioritises quality over quantity.

Game either never launches or (after putting it into windows 8 compatibility mode) keeps crashing and killing itself, I keep having to re-verify the game files and it does keep fixing something, its very annoying and I've had to reconnect an excess of 5 times in a single match witch doesn't really keep the competitive integrity of the game if my team is disadvantaged so much by me keep having the game just disappear on me multiple times, games use to be fine before, its a little disappointing that the game would have such a critical bug after so many years of development, please use the skins money to fix the game

At its price (currently £14.99), for how old a game that it is (a 2014 XBoxOne game), I can totally recomend it, its missing co-op (2-8 players online play on XBoxOne), 21:9 ultrawide gaming and proper keyboard and mouse support but I'm still very glad to see this game come to pc, it looks beautiful and runs buttery smooth for me (running on a very old i7 2600k, loaded on an ssd and using a GTX 1080 with 16GB of DDR3), I really do wish it had its co-op features and widescreen support but its still a really fun game.
