We all have to put out there for this studio to know:

This game is so **** good! The love and hard work that I am seeing is mindblowing! I literally lost myself exploring the castle, didn't know where I was, from where I came, but was a feeling of lost that I didn't experienced with a game for like 5 years. I just wanted to explore more and more and see all the little details.

Avalanche, you deserve all the love from a gamer, you really beat the hype, the controversy, the experience to make a game of this magnitude.

Congratulations and thank you for this game!

Apparently all of EAs Game Designers were high when creating the gameplay of FIFA 23.

In the last years the gameplay was often considered to be to fast and therefore unrealistic. This issue has been addressed with the biggest over correction I have ever seen thus far.

Now it feels like ones players have the same mobility as a school bus on a sunday afternoon.

Furthermore the new powershot mechanic adds nothing to the gameplay but the deep desire to tear my own eyes out, as their quality is as consistent as Donald Trumps tax records.

To conclude FIFA 23 is the only game I acquired over the last couple of months which I regret spending money on. It is easily the worst game of the series (at least of the ones I have played (15,16,17,18,20,22,23)).

The other FIFA titles I have played did at least manage to be entertaining when played with friends, however this entry in the series does absolutely not.

Therefore no one should buy this burning pile of trash, as it has nothing to offer but trauma and depression

Mafia 2 is one of those games that you will remember long after you finish the story.

The characters and general themes are great and reminiscent of such films like "goodfellas'.

You follow the story of Vito Scalletta and his escapades with his friend Joe which goes from bad to worse as the two get in way over their head. This game will have you visiting El greco the painter/Doctor, dealing with the Chinese Mafia and dumping bodies on the outskirts of town, the story is really enjoyable and has great character development due to the fantastic cutscenes and voice acting with an ending that provides a real emotional impact.

The cover based shooting is easy to handle and makes killing rooms of mobsters fairly easy. The 1940's and 50's cars are fun to drive and speeding will often get the cops chasing you, in Mafia 2 you can rob shops, buy suits and upgrade your flashy cars but the open world experience really ends there and with no side missions it can make the game feel linear which it is and you will finish the main story in around 12 hours and most of that is doing simple tasks like going home to sleep.

But despite it's lack of longevity and it's lackluster open world Mafia 2 has story and characters that few games can match.

8/10

Gameplay: It has an average gameplay compared to the year it was released. The detective parts were designed in a simple and non-tiring way. The combat mechanics could be done better. The in-game animations are also good compared to the year they were released.
The detective book is well prepared. This is one of the details that make the gameplay beautiful.

Story:The main story of the game did not draw me in. But the little stories in detective missions were really nice. The fact that we are constantly promoted and witnessing other crime events makes us have an immersive experience. So we got average main story, and perfect side missions therefore we can say that game gives the story it promised.

Graphics:The graphics are good, but some details reduce this situation to the average level. For example, buildings have an important things for the game atmosphere, but the building designs in this game are very simple. NPC designs could be further elaborated. Although the facial animations are very good, the body parts are not that good. Apart from these, it has good graphics compared to 2011.

Musics: The soundtrack really reflects the history of the game. We can say that the best part of the game is the music.

Sound Effects:The sound effects are average, as they should be compared to 2011, so there is no part to be praised or disparaged.

Optimization: Its optimization on the PC port should have been better. It was a game that wasn't optimized well enough.

Rockstar and Team Bondi tried a different game and succeeded.
Facial animations are at an unprecedented level even now (2020).
Combat system and open world could have been more diverse.
Despite calling it an open world genre, this game does not contain an open world.
The atmosphere of the history of the game could have been better reflected.

Despite these, it is the reference point of detective games.

Beautiful, well designed world + decent story make this one of the better PC games of 2021 so far.

I want to talk about "some professional reviews" for a second.
Basically some of them claim that this world is boring and empty.

Did we really play the same game?? Did you even try to explore?

There's so much detail in this game. Different locations, countless of buildings you can enter (i saw someone commenting they look too similar inside, i disagree, imo they looks just different enough).
That city area is really cool, well designed. Then there's some cool things you can discover, but i can't say what, because it would be spoilers obviously.

Like i just don't understand some negativity toward this game. It just doesn't make sense.

Voice acting is really good, writing is solid, to my surprise it's actually really natural, not cringe or forced like some other recent games.

I would highly recommend trying it, if you don't mind long story, bikes and zombies

10/10

One of THE best and THE most interesting games I have ever played - PERIOD!
I am a lover of RPG's. In my honest opinion, I would estimate that anyone who likes good stories and characters will cherish this gem.

I can recommend this title wholeheartedly.
A true AA-indie jewel!

Was a nice step to evolve the IP into something more substantial.
Conservative enough to satisfy the fans, and new enough to draw in young players.

Loved the characters! Holmes, Watson, and all the suspects and supporting characters do an excellent job of making the world feel alive and believable.

You really feel like a detective! The game mechanics are really good and I love that you get to observe each character and make split-second decisions/inferences about them that can either be right or wrong and that these deductions can correctly or incorrectly inform your subsequent judgements.

The "Deductions Space" is also really cool. This is where your gathered mental notes can be connected to each other to form potential judgements. The different branching choices with the clue combinations is impressive.

You can switch between 3rd and 1st person views. This might sound minor, but is greatly appreciated when you're trying to read signs or details in a room.

A great game overall

8.5/10

Is a must play for all Digimon fans and JRPGS fans, it has great designs and great music, the story is really good and the characters are rich.
It has a lot of grinding in the end game, but it's still fun because of how much details a single Digimon has, every digimon has their own unique skills and animations with victory poses!

Overall I really enjoyed both games and I can't recommend it enough

8/10

As the fourth game in a series, We Were Here Forever is a title that knows what it’s about. The gameplay isn’t particularly flashy, and the story doesn’t feature a series of dramatic set pieces to get your adrenaline up. Instead, the developers have stuck to what they know: building unique and interesting puzzles that demand a kind of teamwork very rarely seen in other games. The game improves on its predecessors in every way, without losing the magic that made the series unique in the first place. If you’re not interested in puzzle solving, then this game is going to be an extremely dull experience; alternatively, if you are, then I cannot recommend it highly enough.
