A true sequel of Xcom:EU/EW in every possible way. Love the ease of modding and the plethora of mods in the workshop
Well there are some gameplay problems/bugs here and there but this is one of those few games where you play for hours and hours and you get suprised at how much time has passed leaving you still wanting for more.
This game is everything i wanted from an EW sequel.Cheers

Early game is boring but it picks up after you can conquer fortresses.
Everything else does not make sense. Corny ass writing, dead world and a porch monkey character.
None of these belong in the LOTR universe.
But hey
WE WUZ GONDORIANS N ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Poorly optimized game with average visuals. Feels WAY smaller in scale and freedom as compared to Darksiders 2. There is that 'low budget' feeling to this game
A sequel is supposed to improve on its predecessor not downgrade 10 years back.
Enjoy this unreal engine tech demo,lads.

Runs well, fun to play and reasonably priced without any lootbox or mt bs.
Oh most magnificent MORDHAU !

The store page may show it as a released game but its still in alpha. Released nearly a year ago this game still runs like crap.
Hitching/stuttering, unreasonably bottlenecked by HDD(thats what i thought it was until i bought a nvme pcie ssd, still stutters and the textures still load in front of my eyes). Smoothness and responsiveness is of the utmost importance in an fps game and this game fails to do so. Community servers are dead thanks to their late implementation of adding XP to community servers. On official servers if you play a match its only 2 rounds, not the first to win two rounds just two rounds.Both team can win 1 round each and the match ends......pretty sure in the stone age they knew of the concept of first to 3 .And oh the BUGS, dont get me started on the sheer amount of bugs.
Basically paid so that the devs could monkey around with an engine they have no experience with(Hey they said it).

Update #1
Still runs like crap, movement still feels clumsy. Nothing really done to fix the game. Now hearing whispers about microtransactions. This is the last game that be focusing on microtransactions. Fix the dead community servers(your own doing), stop pushing competitive game modes in a dead game and focus on the real issues,choppy gameplay and the list goes on......

HITMAN 2 is a good game but the flaws outnumber its strengths.
Genius decision to make Elusive targets time limited, one time only and you cannot play them again if you happen to die, all of this in a single player game. Why?
(i happened to walk into a restricted area by mistake because i was distracted by something in my house so the guards shot me and i died. Congratulations! Now you can never play this mission ever again mayhaps if you wait till next year)
Always online is another irritating part of this game. Sometimes the servers go down for maintenance . Yeah they do post the maintenance schedule in advance but why should i be looking out for things like that in a single player game. Games like this i should be able to just launch and play not deep dive into forums, websites, social media to know if i might actually be able to play.
Third and the last thing would be them adding dumb items breaking the meta and just making the game stupidly easy. No challenge, no mastermind plans, just chuck the electrocution phone or shoot a dart into the body guard and you are golden.
I enjoy this game but there are many problems present that also make me not enjoy this game leaving me with a sour taste in my mouth.

Garbage cashgrab, missions on old maps, each mission can be completed in 2 mins.
Total playtime: max 10 mins.
Should have been free because it feels like fanmade.

Wasted potential.
The graphics are excellent, the presentation is very true to the comics, the combat although formulaic of the arkham series is still fun.
Everything related to the batmobile is just plain atrocious, the drone battles feel like those mobile touchscreen swiping games. Sadly you have to use the batmobile so many times it just becomes anti climatic, something i dread. The batmobile gameplay is just stale and boring.Plus the AR challenges are flooded with batmobile ones. ugh. The batmobile is showed down your throat at every possible chance.
And also there is no proper batcave/hideout to change your costumes, explore etc(Oracle tower does not count).
This game excels at being both good and bad, if only there was only a mixed review option.
They somehow blew it with this one being the final arkham game and all.

I do not fear Scarecrow's fear toxin , i only fear using the batmobile.

The gameplay is stale, the whole game is just one gaint corridor with a few deceivingly open world parts which are not because you dont have the required upgrade LOL. You are at many times forced into a semi quicktime event (forced to go down a certain path with falling rocks or some kind of michael bay destruction with a locked camera).The combat is just stale , i wish the gunplay was better. Survival instincts is crap, clearly implemented into the game for casuals because everyone wants to be handfed these days.
Graphics are excellent, no complaints there.
Now this version of Lara croft is just shallow. Her character feels forced devoid of any 'character'. This moaning harpy just wants fame and will do anything to get it. Makes me wonder if she was a killer robot created by Trinity, seeing how boring and obvious the story plot is that may just be the case in the upcoming games.
I grew up playing the classic tomb raider games, i was mentally prepared to like this game but sadly that was of no use because this game is just mediocre.
On the bright side the game makes for a good tech demo !

Boring, just not my thing.
