Overall this game is fun but it is a bit repetitive. The endless loop of landing on different planets to kill bugs or robots doesn't get old too fast though. The only things i grew tired of were the crappy team members and getting kicked from groups for no reason. Also early on i had issues with losing connection from the game right at the end of the match when i was 15 seconds from extracting with my team.

I do like how they have items to unlock with out needing a battle pass. There is that option to purchase a pass if you want other skins and goodies. The only downside to the "free" item unlocks is once you've unlocked everything there is no incentive to keep me playing.

Live service games are a hard sell for me. I do like the overall feel of the game but i have no real connection to it to keep paying for this game after its initial purchase price. If i were to improve this game i would add more unlocks to keep players on that endless treadmill dangling new carrots more often than not. I'd offer server side hosting for matches with a vote to kick option so one player doesn't have all of the power to pull the plug at the very end of a run. Also one big thing that would need to change is the EXP system. I would give out EXP as it was earned. Playing for hours at a time and not progressing EXP wise because of errors and other mishaps is very aggravating.

This game again can be fun if you like shooters where you have a few goals to accomplish before you can gear up and do it again this game is for you. Just be warned you might not level up or earn anything for your efforts because you aren't just fighting the game its fighting you too.

SCORE = 3/5

The game is fun and has some new mechanics not found in other looter shooters. Would love to see more players giving this game a chance. The only problem i've been having lately is not being able to find people to play with in the later missions. Give this game a try!

Parkitect is like an updated Roller Coaster Tycoon and its amazing. Recently the last few RTC releases have failed to feel as good as the classic games. With Parkitect though that classic feel is back and its fun as hell. Ive spent a small amount of time playing so far but what ive played its been great. If you loved RTC 1 & 2 this is the game for you. Pick it up now!

Halo Infinite, where do we start? So many delays and a year plus of waiting and then BAM! randomly you release your multi-player mode to the world. After downloading the game, I launched into a big team battle and right away it felt like I slipped back into my halo 2/3 multiplayer days. There was this familiar feeling when playing. It’s not exactly the same as the good old days of Halo but that’s also a good thing. What we used to have isn’t what we are used to now. There are games like Apex Legends where all the movements are fast paced, and everyone is slipping and sliding everywhere. Halo isn’t exactly like that, but the game has had some updates to its movement and speed. It’s not as clunky feeling as the recently released (on PC) Master Chief Collection. Jumping into a game of Halo Infinite is loads of fun. Its what halo has been missing for years. Halo 4 and 5 kind of felt more like they were trying to be call of duty in space more than what halo was in the bungie days.

When Bungie left Microsoft and had to leave their baby behind it didn’t seem like the series was going to survive in 343’s hands. But… years later halo has finally made its way back into the spotlight. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows though. Halo might have started the multiplayer world of online console games, but this was ages ago now. Online multiplayer games these days are rewarding and deeper with customization and progression then they were back in the early 2000’s. Halo hasn’t grown up like its cousins Call of Duty. It nice to not have to earn all of our cosmetics from the cash shop and random luck from loot boxes. But it is also not fun to feel like we aren’t earning anything for playing either. Sure, I’m having fun reliving some moments I first had 20 years ago but at a point that’s not enough to keep me playing. 343 seems to have copy and pasted seasons from the Halo: Master chief collection. Only rewarding players when they finish random challenges (that don’t seem to end or show you past the 5 displayed on screen at one time). We need to see some progression from just playing. 50exp from a daily quest isn’t enough to get us through a battle pass that has 100 levels.

The math breakdown:
20 games at 50exp a game to get 1000exp
1,000exp to get thru one lvl of the 100 lvl battle pass.
2,000 games to complete the battle pass. (If you suck at all the other random challenges)

The Rundown

The Good:
+ Amazing game play
+ Guns feel great
+ Nostalgia
+ Nice variety of maps
+ Beautiful graphics and effects

The Bad:
- Cash Shop
- Battle pass progression
- Armor customization
- Limited Options with Other customization (Gun colors and skins)


Conclusion:
Halo infinite’s FREE Multiplayer is polished and well-constructed for a free release. If there were a $15-$30 option for just the multiplayer I’d choose that over the limited options for customization when it comes to my spartan and the weaponry behind my fight for world domination. I’m sad I paid for a $10 skin that only works on the one suit of armor and the coloring can’t be used at all with all the items I’m unlocking from the battle pass. The only other downfall of this game right now is the horrible season pass and progression system behind it. Challenges are okay to stay but you need an overall progression system as well. Challenges are supposed to be used as an extra like whip cream and sprinkles on top of an already amazing Sunday. As it is at the time of this review, I highly recommend downloading the game and jumping into some matches and having some fun reliving the old days of Halo with an updated spin for todays whipper snappers.

I like the game for what it is. If your looking for an old blast from the past MMO/ish type game this is yours to enjoy. Flashbacks of playing PSO on the Sega Dreamcast flooded my brain when i first started playing this version of the game. Its fun and can give ya something to do when you're bored. I'm excited to see the updated version of this that's coming in 2021.

Beautiful remaster. The game looks amazing. Its fun going back to a favorite from my childhood. I'm not as good at it as i once was though. I still recommend checking this game out even more so if you're a fan of classic platforming fun!

AFK Running and fishing ...Sign me up!

600 hrs into this game and i still feel like i dont know how to play it yet i keep playing. Love how the game has evolved over the years and cant wait to see what else it evolves into over the next few years. I'd recomend this game to anyone that played Destiny 2 and felt like they wanted to play something that was actually fun and not just a game with gear updates that always looked the same.

"Warframe, its like destiny 2 but fun!" - Me

I never even turned around once in this game. Also I speed cleared the game in 8mins. I sent off my time to Guinness World Records to see if I have the top spot.

Positives:
-Game was free
-3 free cards
-Made a friend go through the whole signing up process to get this game. Was so worth it.

Negatives:
-Game was free (had to sign up for 4 spam sites for the code, not worth it)
-Never was asked to turn around
-Monster noises were pretty annoying
-The bow model is from stone age

Final thoughts:
If i could play any game for the rest of my life... i wouldnt play this one.

((Didnt check the box that i got this for free since i had to do lots of clicking to get it. i wasted 15mins of my life on this game))

I went into this game wanting to like it but just getting it set up and running took some time which almost put me off from even playing the actual game... First tried to log in with FB (hate setting up new accounts for stuff idk if ill even like) and that seemed to be working then it kept closing the game every time i got to the log in part. tried 5 times to do it through FB then gave up made a new account and it wouldnt let me since my main email is tied to FB and says i already used it. like wtf... ugh so used my main email and then got an error with that had to relaunch the game a 6th time and it finally let me in. at this point i didnt want to even play it. the combat is alright. i like the art style but idk there just seems to be something missing from the game. ive played a lot of MOBA type games and only one ive really liked so far was Master X Master. has pve and pvp which is a nice change of pace. id reccomend that over this one.
