HENRY!

But no really, this is probably one of the best RPGs of all time. Every single thing is just right.

Preface: The play time is inaccurate, I played with the launcher long before it came to Steam.

This is simply one of the best games of all time. F2P, paid, whatever, doesn't matter, Warframe does it all, and in the best way possible. You can play solo, in a party, with randoms, and everything in between.

The graphics are excellent, and modern. They also constantly update them as needed.
Users can submit their own skins, and it might make it in game.
Platinum can be earned in game by trading with other players for valuable goods. At no point do you need to spend anything to play this.

10/10.

Probably one of the best psychological detective games available, full stop. Are you a good cop? A drunk? A crank demon? Whatever you want. Solve the case your way, and watch how your choices unfold.

Took my mate's magazine out of his gun, causing him to throw it on the ground. Picked it up. Slowly put the magazine back in. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it. Put it to my temple and fired. 10/10 would do again.

Simply the best game for learning guitar and bass.
Notes:
Grab yourself the no-cable patch from Git or Reddit, and you can play without buying the realtone cable. Just buy a quarter inch jack and convert it to 3.5mm.

You know what this game is. Get it. Play it. Ruin your life.

One of the best Metroidvania titles around. Artwork is phenomenal. Silksong when?

You, a Sidewinder, want to interdict me, a FAS?

8/10 would kill again.

Not a step back!

I want to preface this by saying that my time is only for the Steam version. I've owned Destiny 2 since launch on Battle.Net.

Pros:
Decent graphics, most textures and meshes are high quality, and the post effects make them look better.
Voice acting is great, with many known voice over actors from previous best selling games.
Story itself is interested, for the first or second playthrough.
There's a massive amount of drop in content (Stuff you can do just while wandering around), which spawn constantly.

Cons:
Late game is very dependent on being in an active clan, or knowing people to play with. Nightfalls require 3 people to get the most score, while the old Leviathan raid still requires at least 5 people to get through it.
Late game content is very sparse, and very repetitive. Run nightfall/ raid, get ever so slightly better gear, run nightfall/ raid, repeat. Obviously this doesn't apply to PvP content.
Some annoying *quirks* are present, such as an enemy shield bashing you and sending you flying to your death, even though the attack itself was very minor.
Content is scaled to you, and not the other way around, unless explicitly stated, meaning a light level 1 will do the same amount of damage as a light level 900, which just makes no sense, and any sense of challenge is just being locked behind your light level, instead of how much damage you can do, or what skills you have.

Uncategorized:
Forsaken is required for a lot of end game stuff, being that it's the latest DLC which increases max level capacity, but the content it locks also makes the players that don't have it, have less to do significantly. High end nightfalls require a power level a non-forsaken player can't reach, yet the ones you can do are so laughably easy that it's just boring. There's no middle ground. You're either too strong for non-forsaken end game content, or too weak for proper end game.

PvP is really strange. For example, a newly created character can go toe to toe with a maxed out forsaken player without issue using the same weapons, but exotics and certain legendaries that only old players can get massively turn the tables, making PvP a gamble most of the time.
Following this, PvP is also mostly one sided from the hundreds of matches I've played. You either win or lose by a mile, and the rare game where it's neck and neck is few and far between. Maybe just my bad luck?

Weapon variety is pretty limited. It's virtually "This has a +1 higher light, I should use that over this weapon" (Excluding exotics and such), due to how content scaling works.
The weapon types themselves are interesting, such as the linear rifle and the bow, but they make other weapons just feel bad to use, as the normal weapons just don't have the special effects the others do.
Example: 12 round carbine vs 12 round sniper rifle. Same fire rate, same damage, but you'll get many more kills with a sniper rifle than a carbine for some reason.

Overall, I'd give the current state of Destiny 2 a 5.5/10. It's average in just about every sense.
