What happens when you put F.E.A.R. in GZDOOM Engine? You get one of the best retro style fps games in the 2020's. I highly recommend it to fans of the F.E.A.R. series and retro style fps genre.

A worthy sequel to the 2013 game, but I'm disappointed by the absence of the dual-wield pistols.

I'm gonna have to stop playing the game here. It's basically unplayable for no other reason than being locked to an online connection to EA servers. I've put in almost fifteen hours and can confirm that there is indeed a an Arcade racing game there with pretty cars and good graphics. I've seen no hint of microtransactions, that's good. The gameplay is good with no locked 30 fps framerate. The cop A.I. seemed rather tame, but that is probably because I haven't checked if there is a higher difficulty option. I liked the fact that the story features live action performaces, but it's not as dramatic as The 2005 NFS Most Wanted story. The actors did a decent job it's just the story they were playing out is not that good. The soundtrack is decent, but I wasn't blown away. Just listened to my Spotify playlist most of the time.
Anyway EA ruined this game with their always online insistence. I cannot keep looking at loading screens and getting booted out of the game into the main menu any longer. I cannot recommend it. The only way you could fully play this game is, once again, if you get a pirated copy that has all the online restrictions removed. And that is what I recommend rather than buy this game. Pirate gamers laughing at us once again. Thanks for nothing, EA.

I'm torn between recommend and not recommending it. The game is live service in it's infancy. Cars are scattered through out the open world that players can only drive by buying them through dlc that is sold on the games Steam page. Horrible openly nickel and diming of players. Those cars are in the game that the player bought. They should be driveable. That is first deal breaker there. The second deal breaker, though not as bad, is the game requires the EA launcher to be installed to launch. Product ownership is damn near non existent. Pirate gamers still laughing at us to this day.
Now the pros. It's a really good arcade racing game that doesn't have anything other than playing to win. There's no currency you need to grind to purchase cars, just keep winning races. It was made by the developers of a classic racing series called Burnout and it holds that series dna in the gameplay and presentation. If you enjoy the gameplay of this then Burnout is a series that will resonate with you. I mostly play career mode so wont say much about it other than, yes it's still active even after 12 years. I don't listen much to the soundtrack, but I will give it points as well. There are good tracks to listen to if you don't have SoundCloud, Spotify or other music access.
EA is a greedy game company, but they do have talented developers that craft incredibly cathartic gaming experiences. I just hope they reign in their executives hunger for profits. But, yes, I recommend NFS MW 2012 to arcade racing fans who can ignore the negatives that I stated.

A late 2000s Bethesda masterpiece.

Seriously the game hits different if you imagine playing it in 2009 during the Xbox 360 era. The Story and characters 🗿, the dialogue 🗿, the factions 🗿, the world and it's lore 🗿, Your character build options 🗿, ship combat 🗿, ship building🗿, Outpost building 🗿, crafting 🗿, uncapped leveling system🗿, new game+ 🗿. The gameplay of Starfield is so addicting, so laced with that Bethesda formula that I could hardly get myself to stop playing.

But this is all due to convincing myself that this is a game from 2009. The engine feels completely unchanged from the original iteration that ran Fallout 3. Full of hub areas separated by loading screens instead of a seamless open world spanning lightyears that the gaming world was introduced to by the groundbreaking space exploration game No Man's Sky. A game that Starfield was bound to be compared to and eventually being given the nickname "No Man's Skyrim" by many excited gamers before release. That is what players expected of a game that marketed itself in the way Starfield was marketing itself and the disappointment of players regarding that seamless interplanetary/intergalactic exploration is understandable. The complaints about race and LGBTQ themes, however, are not understandable and only make those critical of the games flaws as well as gaming itself look bad.

Being an RPG Starfield has a ton of Dialogue that is well written and features a very fun persuasion system. But there are some things I consider flawed like The npcs dialogue doesn't stay on screen so player can see what they are responding too. NPC's telling player to hurry up and answer instead of just function as a pause screen when player isn't answering. I truly believe too that forcing the dialogue to happen in first person was a mistake. Skyrim style dialogue perspective would've been better. Just as every other Bethesda game on Creation engine I played the game as a third person game. Compared to other 3rd person action adventure RPGs Starfield is subpar since it doesn't have all the mechanics utilised by games that prioritise 3rd person only. The same can be said if you choose to play in first person. The immersion is just not there. The problem with Starfields first person is you become a floating gun with no shadow or reflection. Not to mention the game shifts to third person so many times it removes even more immersion from a game that wasn't really built to let the player see and interact with it's world from a single perspective. I personally think Bethesda would be better off making their RPGs in third person and improve immersion from that perspective.

Starfield is also a video game that doesn't put nudity and graphic violence at it's forefront but instead focuses on a diverse group of characters the player can engage with on an oft-times emotional level and I really appreciate that. I hope to see more of that from other games. Additionally, unlike the recently released Diablo 4, Starfield has no microtransactions or online DRM. Modding functionality is also there for those love mods(Disclaimer: Modders have stated they will never be able to turn Starfield into "No Man's Skyrim" as the Creation engine was never built to develop No Man's Sky type video games. So don't expect those type of mods for the game).

I highly recommend Starfield to fans of Bethesda RPGs who never played No Man's Sky or can pretend it never existed. That said the full price is not worth it for what the player is getting. Other games like Cyberpunk 2077 are just as much if not more value for a lower price. Buying Starfield on sale is what I'm recommending.

A demo that can be finished in 10 minutes with fun platforming and fps combat. It was mostly used to show off the new graphics capabilities of Valves game engine.

This game doesn't deserve love. The hitscan sucks. You have the accuracy of a literal storm trooper and, the enemies, who are actual storm troopers don't. You cant sprint and when you get the Force ability to sprint you are slower than DOOMGuy or any other protagonist of the many DOOM clones in existence. The game has no map or compass. Just an objective notification feature. The game just basically tells you to finish the mission and lets you loose into a level. The tutorials for your Force abilities consist of telling you what the abilities are. It doesn't tell you which button does what. This game had to have been made by fans of the Sith. I gave this game so much time to get better by playing it on the easiest difficulty while spamming the quicksave button, reading tips and guides online, watching walkthrough videos and it still spit in my face with the worst fps gameplay and puzzles I've ever seen in a game. Raven is a legendary game studio, but this game honestly sucks and anybody that wants to defend this ♥♥♥♥ can go eat a ♥♥♥♥. ♥♥♥♥ this game.

Short and sweet first person puzzle platforming game with excellent writing and Voice acting.

I killed Nazis like real Soviet Hero.

BJ is truly the representation of the struggle against fascism that peaked when the Red Army took down the Nazi empire in 1945. The memory of Soviet Union and their allies lives on even as today there is a resurgence of fascism because of the efforts of capitalist nations to collaborate with former Nazis to fight socialism. The resistance lives on the hearts of the youth and I have no doubt socialist resistance will assemble again as it did during the era of Soviets to free the world from Nazis.

Tear the Fascists Down.

I can forgive making your game inaccessible for the mainstream gamers, but locking the career mode behind a strictly online server is just unacceptable. Stupid game company.
