"Nazi ain't got humanity..they're the footsoldiers of a Jew hating mass murdering maniac and they need to be destroyed." This game has an insane first 2 hours to really set the mood and gives you a great reason to start slaughtering the Nazi army. Frau Engel is menacing and I cannot wait to get my hands on her. Fantastic game so far. The gore, environments, cutscenes, everything has been improved. Definitely GOTY contender, I'm always surprised with the quality of these titles, bravo Machine Games. You've done it again

Having a blast so far. While i do feel it's a VERY grindey (Mordor got to this point too) game which can be a turn off to some, it's still a big improvement from SoM. The combat and most combat animations remain the same, while a little dissapointing, I let it pass because I love this combat. It just feels so satisfying, especially getting to swifly decapitate orcs. Added in was more beasts to tame and use, and new combat options while on said beasts. The skill tree has been redone and offers plenty of cool skills and upgrades. The story is pretty intruiging, i do feel the desire to see where Talion, Celebrimbor, and this ring they forged end up. The voice acting and overall sound are superb. Of course you can't talk about this game without mentioning the loot boxes. All i have to say is, it's disgusting. It's clear the game wants you to buy them, offering a message about the market at all times. They simply do not belong here, or any game. It's a cancerous system, and if you don't want to buy this game to protest it, totally understandable. They are not needed for anything, not even the true ending. The game is plentiful with legendary, epic, and rare gear off of captains and warchiefs. They're simply there for the lazy gamer who wants to take the experience of enjoying this game and it's gameplay elements and rush them. Hopefully this game (and Battlefront 2) and the protest of wallets are enough to set publishers straight on this crap.

I love this game. While the anxiety and tension of mimics and other typhon creatures fades after you get a specific item, the game adds so much more as you play that it doesn't matter. This game really opens up once you can experiment with powers. Like Dishonored, the world changes depending on your actions (not killing tho, everything must die.) Enemy variety serves more of a purpose than just to avoid growing stale, you use them to unlock new powers and improve them. Talos 1 is interesting and full of mystery waiting to be revealed through emails and transcribes. Tons of content in terms of side quests and secret item locations. The main questline is intriguing, though my 18 hours logged have mostly been exploring the world and getting hooked into side stories i want to get closure on. It is fantastic and I highly recommend this, don't worry about performance because it is optomized beautifully.

HOLY CRAP THIS IS A MESS. I had some excitement to try this game and see if this series could have a game worthy of purchase. I never checked out the older titles due to their poor reviews and it just looked like a boring game. I always took Sniper Elite over this series, but even that's getting stale. I haven't actually gotten to play the game, but below talk about how repetitive it is. So far I've only experienced terrible voice acting. The game itself, runs so poorly I can't even try it. I have a single GTX 1080 FTW paired with an i7-4790k with 16GB RAM. Even if i crank everything to low, the game flusters between 33FPS, 25FPS, and 60FPS but that 60FPS lasts for a brief second when turning the camera. The frames drop to these numbers every second so it is all over the place, but can never go over 60FPS. (VSYNC is off and I have a 144hz monitor, VSYNC had the same results when on) Absolutely attrocious, what are these YouTubers playing, cause their game seems to run perfectly fine on PC. What happened here?

EDIT: Attempted to suck it up and play, noticed the FPS would never go above 35FPS. Only when I stared at a wall after walking into it.

Great game so far, but really poor perfomance. The game ran okay at first, with the frames fluctuating (crazily) between 70-130fps. Never stayed consistent so the game just feels a little choppy in big open areas, indoor environments and dialogue scenes perform well. I didn't mind this, up until I got to the Karnaca docks in mission two. My frames plummeted to mid 40s and didn't go back up unless i stared at a wall. Mind you I have a gtx 1080 FTW with an i7-4790k so I can imagine how much more of an issue this is with older cards. Turning down settings doesn't help much, still getting low frames in these areas. It's just such a shame because Dishonored 1 had such a smooth port, this is a mess. The game itself is fantastic, I'm currently playing as Emily with a high chaos stealth run and It's a blast. Her new powers feel great, sneaking around is smoother than ever with even more options opened up to explore, and the story is strong so far. Not to mention, on ultra this game really pops with the lush and gritty environment of this new city. Sadly, hold off until the performance issues are sorted out. This game deserves (and needs) a smooth experience to really appreciate all it offers

I had such high hopes for this game. At first I was blinded by my hype because I'n obsessed with space and this was a dream game. Then I realized how shallow this game is, then I saw all the cool stuff from E3 years ago and realized this game was sold on false promises. Looked up the center of the universe, saw how worthless it is to try and achieve (seriously it's pathetic) and now i live my days with regret and 60 dollars wasted. Here's hoping they'll add some of that E3 goodness in updates. Redeem yourself Hello Games

TO VALHALLA! SHINY AND CHROME!

This game is really great, completely blew me away with how perfect this game runs, one of the best pc ports I've played. There's no frame drops or stutters with all the chaos that goes on. It's a constant smooth 60fps even with every graphical setting maxed out. The game is extremely fun too. The combat is really easy and simple (free flow combat from Arkham games) but it's so satisfying to use all these classic wrestling moves and hear the bones of the war boys shatter with each hit. The game shines with it's car combat, the biggest thing they had to nail with a game like this. Upgrading the Magnum Opus with armor or more weaponry to take out vehicles is a blast. Mixing around different upgrades to see what fits your playstyle best. Taking out convoys and war parties feels exactly like George Miller directed them himself and that says enough. The game is also gorgeous. Beautiful lighting effects and skyboxes make the game pop with vibrancy. Even if 99% of the time you'll be looking at a deset. The world hasn't bored me yet, there's planty to do from strongholds to taking out sniper nests to reduce threat in areas (it's a really large map) There's always something to do on your way to story missions or if you just wanna roam around. Overall, I'm very surprised and happy with this game. The story so far is intruiging, with each character voiced very well and just like the movies, Max is set on one goal and kinda just drifts along helping random people and not saying much. But that's all you need for a Mad Max story, and of course the over the top war lords with their unique (sometimes hilarious) names. Avalanche nailed this one, the Mad Max game fans have been waiting for and deserve

I text my girlfriend back 5 minutes at a time...sometimes an hour..or two

Upon finishing it for the first time today without knowing anything about the ending before now..I feel like an awful person

This is the game we've all been waiting for. It achieves many great things: 200 hours of side quests and exploration of a huge world, a very interesting story that isn't linear like the previous installments, gorgeous visuals, downgrade aside, the combat has been greatly changed. I find it much more fluent and responsive than it was in the witcher 2 (gore is always a plus for me too) I find myself rarely using fast travel because i just love taking in all the sights and sounds of this monster infested world. Contracts and side quests are interesting and fun, especially when your task is to retrieve a frying pan. All in all, if you need a game to hold out for you over this summer drought, the witcher is perfect. You won't find a game that will take your social life away and still have that masterpiece feeling from beginning to end like the wild hunt. absolutely worth the delays, hats off to CDPR.
