Graphics

I'M AMAZED. Beautiful pinkish world of Hope County. They give some improvements from previous installment. 20GB-ish size for the game and additional 20GB for HD Texture Pack.

Gameplay

Turn some gameplay into a Semi-RPG type. You have to scavenge and level up your homebase. It's hard to kill enemies with a higher tier. But when you unlock Elite tier weapons (especially LMG), everything will be easier, even kill the boss. Good changes to the fresh style of gameplay but it may be more difficult to do stealth like in the previous series. This change might be controversial because RPG eliminates essence in the Far Cry game. 90% of the battle comes from the ground, only a few battles come from water and air. The Guns for Hire feature is still in this series with a number of characters that don't change much from the Far Cry 5 series. Some of the perks aren't very useful, but a few perks like adding ammo can be upgraded continuously. You can also repeat liberating outpost continuously to get skill points and the chance to get prestige clothes.

Story

TOO FAST. REALLY? ONLY AROUND 15hrs AND I FINISHED THE MAIN STORY? The bosses, called "Twins" really a joke. From the previous series, the main antagonist always gave a wild and unique personalities to the players. So that the player remembers all characters of the main enemy and attached til now. From Vaas the maniac, the plot of twist of Alita and Sabal which turns out to be crazy in principle where Pagan is actually the real protagonist,and Joseph Seed a.k.a Father with his fanatical mind pretending like a God. But TWINS? Very bad character delivery, no special impression to them. I feel that Father gives more color to the story than Twins. Twins are felt only as a supplement to deliver the story. BUT still a good story though. There is no selection of ending (multiple ending) like the previous series.

Price

BUY ONLY WHEN THIS GAME GET DISCOUNT. TRUST ME, IT FEELS LIKE FAR CRY 5 DLC

System requirements

High and great optimization. I suggest you play with GPU that has more than 4GB VRAM to run HD Texture Pack.

Bugs

I FOUND MANY. But it doesn't make the game unpleasant to play, just need restarting from the Menu.

Patch updates

Others

The soundtrack sounds perfect in many situations. You can also modify your character with various outfits that you can have from scavenging outpost continuously til you get it.

Graphics

EPIC!

Gameplay

If you played Tomb Raider (2013), they are similar each other. Some differences in this sequel, they add more resources and Supply Shack, where you can buy item of choice. I set 28 hours of record for complete 100% gameplay.

Story

Meh I don't want to spoiler, but developer deliver the story perfectly good. And the ending explains what players will face in the next sequel (Shadow of the Tomb Raider).

Price

Standard-cost game and worth-to-buy. But before you play this game, I recommend to play the previous game (Tomb Raider 2013).

System requirements

Medium to High.

Bugs

There are some glitches but I just reload last checkpoint and done. I suggest for double save instead using last campsite save.

Lara Croft face seems so real. LOVE IT!

Graphics

EPIC!

Gameplay

Third-person perpective. Action is pretty good with some thrilling sets, lot of hidden collectibles for deep exploration, some confusing puzzle challenge tombs, but survival instinct mechanics make it easier. Quick time events sometimes appear suddenly and made me killed. Players can traverse between the camps and across the island using footpaths, ziplines, and climbable tracks. You can choose between stealth or rush gameplay. They also add RPG elements (levelling through various experiences and upgrading weapons). I set 21 hours of record for complete 100% gameplay.

Story

The story of Sun Queen named Himiko on Yamatai, fictional lost island in the Dragon's Triangle off the coast of Japan. Good-telling story from narrative main quest, also some additional from side missions, challenge tomb, relics, and documents. You will also discover Trinity (later in the sequel : Rise of the Tomb Raider) from a set of documents.

Price

I consider this as cheap game and worth to buy. But you would also buy the sequel (Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider).

System requirements

Low.

Bugs

Some glitches but I just reload last checkpoint and done. I suggest for double save instead using last campsite save.

Patch updates

No need for me.

Others

The Tomb of the Lost Adventurer DLC actually not necessarily needed although give you a bit of salvage, XP, and ammo, which you find useful. But I skipped explore it, revisited after completing the game and found you may need this DLC for early game. Because when I almost beat the game, I had all of my skills (+ some skill points that I couldn't spent anymore because I reached maximum skills) and fully upgraded weapons.

Graphics

Average, but good.

Gameplay

Super funny. So much jokes and adult things.

Story

About 15hrs to complete main story. Blow my mind because that plot twists lol.

Price

Quiet expensive for an old game, but worth to buy. Wait for sale.

System requirements

Cupcake :)

Bugs

Sometimes you stuck. Sometimes you can't set GPS to some place. But not annoying at all.

Others

You will find sex toys, funny vehicles, and awkward costumes. SUPER FUNNY!

Graphics

HD edition brings more enhanced graphics. But I don't think you want to run it in 4K Resolution.

Gameplay

My favourite game when I was child. What else is wanted from a RTS Game other than gathering resources and defeat enemies?

Story

Never play the campaign, but the DLCs offer bonus campaign missions. I rather play skirmishes than the stories itself.

Price

SUMMER SALE!

System requirements

Meh, even my old computer still can run it.

Bugs

Any?

Patch updates

Just give me AoE 4!

Others

To be honest, AoE2 still better than AoE 3 because AoE 2 more harder than its successor. Want to know further check here[www.quora.com].

Graphics

It got improved so many than the first released in 2012. Still great for a game that released 2014.

Gameplay

It's like GTA but need more practice because I got difficult in early game. Driving a little harder and should be careful.

Story

Pretty good story. About 15 hours for main story and about 2 hours of bonus stories from DLCs. No regret at all.

Price

Got it discounted 85%. But for the game with rich story and included all DLCs from previous version, it's totally not expensive. Just wait it on sale.

System requirements

Medium.

Bugs

The most annoying bug is sometimes gunfire sound keep repeating. Restarting game will solve it.

Patch updates

No more updates.

Others

The DLCs so far is beautiful. It will allow you to buy unique clothes such as SWAT outfits, Wing Chun, GSP, or Drunken Fist and bonus inside the game without ruining the story from early. They include the DLCs inside the story not from early. This is the real definition of 'DEFINITIVE EDITION'

Graphics

This is old games so yeah it's just okay. For note, this game supports 4K resolution.

Gameplay

RTS still RTS. 3 different difficulties for campaign mode. Also with Warchief and Asian Dynasties Expansions included. Around 25 hours of based-on-true-story campaign gameplay.

Price

Well, I got it discounted 66%, so yeah it's cheap. But without discounted price, maybe you should think twice before buy. If you're not a big fan, better wait for the fourth installment (TBA).

System requirements

Low/Minimum. No need modern PC, you can even run with Intel HD Graphics only.

Bugs

Nothing annoying at all.

Patch updates

Never I think.

Graphics

AMAZING Cinematic and kinda watch movies than a game.

Gameplay

It's actually easy. Just aim and shoot. Sometimes I stuck in some missions (commonly Prepper stashes) because there's no obvious hint. You should solve the puzzle in it or if you get frustrated you can go to youtube/google and find the answer. There are so many walkthrough and gameplay videos outside there. They also create Arcade mode which is fun and players can make their own maps, add the mission and post it. Some maps include multiplayers mode but I find its kinda take a long time to join the matchmaking. Otherwise, every week there are Live Events where you can join and do the mission in campaign mode. It will give some limited rewards that you can't buy in the game.

Story

It's like movie. Unique story with a lot of endings. Main story just took about 20 hours. But unlike previous Far Cry® games, where you unlocked new areas as you progressed through the main story, Far Cry® 5 allows you to explore the entirety of the game world (except for the Father's central compound) from the moment you complete the introduction. The main thing I don't like is main (protagonist) character keep silent all the way.

Price

Expensive. You need extra money for the Deluxe edition or Season pass and I don't think it will get discount soon.

System requirements

High. And dont forget, it requires Uplay account, too.

Bugs

Some glitches in missions (mission counter on Gone Fishin' mission and Cliffhanger Prepper Stash didn't show up on Map). Deluxe items missing after travelling bugs has been solved.

Patch updates

Sometimes

Others

The soundtrack sounds perfect. You can also modify your character with various outfits. Not like the previous editions, you can also buy vehicles (cars, planes, helicopters, and boats). There are unique weapons and pretty skins labelled as "PRESTIGE". You can get some special prizes by joining Ubisoft Club. The Far Cry® 5 Official website also helps a lot. Check it out at here[farcrygame.com].

Graphics

Overall great and with modern specs, you can run above 30 FPS easily.

Gameplay

Competitive and maybe hard for newbie. Just keep practicing.

Price

Cheap (Sometimes discounted). I bought it when Counter-Strike Bundle discounted

System requirements

Low/Minimum. No need modern PC, you can even run it with standard business laptop. Just keep your connection stable and everything's ok

Bugs

Nothing annoying

Patch updates

Every week

Graphics

Overall good. Nothing to worry about.

Gameplay

It has many difficulties and better start from easier first. And there are 2 gameplay styles : Loud and Stealth. You should patience with stealth mode because need more awareness. Loud? Surely fun for play with friends and keep yelling all the time. Also, it's not boring while playing because they add so many soundtracks.

Price

Quite cheap (Sometimes discounted). But it would cost much as you maybe interested with DLCs. Just wait until discount (Summer/Winter sale) and buy all those DLCs.

System requirements

Medium. Just keep your connection stable and everything's ok. Because it sucks when you have been playing so far and you disconnected. There's a little chance you can reconnect to your previous game.

Bugs

Nothing annoying

Patch updates

Sometimes. And big!

Others

You can modify your character with many masks and pretty weapon skins. Don't forget to pick the right skills and assign it to different profile
