Very good.
The time listed at review is the time spent on first playthrough (plus some time spent afk) just exploring everything.
Interesting game, and playing on default you'll find a ton of ammo for guns (and more guns than you can carry.) You can tell it's based on an older game because it doesn't hold your hand on everything. There's no Quest Log or summary to follow, you get your objectives/story from audio logs and data sticks you find on the station. In certain places if you die, you won't respawn and will have to load a save, so you should make sure to save often. That being said, normally, dying isn't really punishing at all, since you'll respawn with the progress you made (as in, the ammo you used before death is still gone, but the damage you did to enemies stays as well.)

Early Access Review
Very good.
Due to it being procedural, sometimes you'll get a side-job that seems impossible/exceedingly tedious to solve, but you can just close the job and get another one. BUT it is generally enjoyable trying to follow clues to find the people/items you've been hired to get.
There is no real story to speak of, just main jobs of solving murders.
I like the atmosphere, and the game doesn't take long to get used to.
With it still being in Early Access, there are obviously still bugs, but there's a built in Bug Report feature, and so far there has only been one bug that actually made me lose progress. Be warned though, according to the website's bug report submission form, save files have to be under a certain file size, and mine got to 20x the limit, and the in-game submissions fail now because of it, so I can't attach saves anymore.
Not having many performance issues like others, but I have a high-end PC.

It's meh. Playing solo, there's not much to it. Combat is bland, mechanics are bland, story is actually mildly interesting (which is why I'm still playing it...) Performance on latest top-of-the-line hardware is great most of the time, but there are still some massive FPS drops somewhat infrequently, so if you don't have that stuff, RIP, I guess, wait for performance patches (if Bethesda even bothers letting Arkane do anything more on it...) If you're actually interested in playing that game, or want something with co-op, wait for it to be on sale (maybe around $15.)

Loved it.
Only like 2? 3? crashes in 101 hours
Mild framedrops, usually in open grassy areas
Large open world game with a ton of stuff to look at/explore, doesn't feel empty
Lots of different equipment/spells, with lots of ways to mix up weapons with Ashes of War
Beautiful game, everything looks, sounds, feels good
Lots of characters/lore/info, can be a little confusing or hard to remember stuff

Looks good
Runs good
Most text boxes/sentences are skippable
Long story, writing is more mature than previous entries
Free fast travel
Big world, nice locations

Good improvement on the series. If you're going to play with a controller, you might want to rebind the controls. Writing has lost most of the immaturity that the series is known for, but still has some moments that are overly dramatic. Runs well and looks good, but framerate seems to be capped in some instances like during parts of battle or fishing minigame. I like the way skits work in this, each one kind of unfolding like a comic book page (but with the characters moving and talking during their panels.) Long story like the other games in the series, and has fast travel from anywhere (but locations may be blocked for story reasons momentarily.) Big world, every area feels and looks different.

Meh. Game isn't really anything special. Game expects you to grind out levels and side quests between main quests, so if you don't level up between every like 3 main quest updates, you'll have a hard time that will persist even if you drop to Easy difficulty. Wasn't worth the money and i regret buying it and 2 at the same time from a site I can't refund.

I liked it a lot. Sunk 80+ hours in the first 5 days. Game feels kinda hollow as of version 1.05, like something is missing from it. No open world activities to do, just side quests, racing is only in like 3 quests, only 4(?) total romances, and when you're done completing them, it's like you don't really exist anymore to them. Definitely feels like a lot of stuff was cut out and everything left was smushed together. I hope you've got a GPU that can do DLSS, or your fps is gonna be low. After you finish all side stuff and the story, there's literally nothing to do but go around killing enemies. No NG+ yet. It's great, but there isn't any reason why you should get this as soon as possible, wait for updates and see what comes down the line.

I LOVE this game. Follows the series in what kind of content to expect, lots of minigames, serious crime story with fun wacky substories, lots of gear to collect/craft. Only differences between this game and the others is the switch to turn based combat (similar to Pokemon, tbh) and the story being focused on a guy and his friends doing stuff instead of a single dude doing stuff.

Game looks good, lots of cars, lots of customization on most of the cars, lots of ways to tweak the paint/material of the cars. Short story, not a grind or hard to 100% the collectibles/events. I really enjoyed this, tbh. It felt like that old NFS Most Wanted from the GameCube that was really good. Cops don't really chase/care about you in the daytime, but night time turns them into omega tryhards, so make sure you learn where the big jumps are, jumping over water will make them lose you 100%. Join a different crew than the starter if you're going for the rank 50 car, you'll likely otherwise be stuck in a full crew with a bunch of people that only played once and don't help rank up.

It's alright I guess. Looks good, combat controls take getting used to, some stuff/features aren't really explained at all/well, lots of frame drops and crashes, long loading times, travelling the world still has loading screens you'll run into going towards cities, pre-rendered cutscenes still look like they were made for consoles and look weird on PC, sidequests and everything else lack depth but voice acting is in everything and sound great.
