Listen, the whole theme and idea of the game are quite amazing and nicely designed, BUT there are some things which, for me personally, are a big turn off:

- The matchmaking at least in normal queue is a disaster. There were so many instances where I got queued in an already ongoing match which was already on the losing side for the team I got into that was literally a waste of time and nonetheless affected my winrate and stats on many heroes. If a player disconnected during a match give a severe punishment and let the team play at a disadvantage as it should be, so they learn that toxic behavior needs to be reported and not ignored.
- Some heroes are waaaaaaay too unbalanced and in certain combinations, almost unkillable
- The required level for entering competitive is waaaay to low, which ultimately allows a lot of inexperienced players to literally ♥♥♥♥ up and throw games, which is not fair for the rest of the people who do know how to play
- The absence of role queuing in a game like this is a disaster as well (take notes from Overwatch for this instance)
- Too many bugs that affect the overall gameplay which are still not fixed

Until the above-mentioned issues are not fixed, I will not recommend the game to anyone.

This game is purely amazing and addictive.

PROS:

- You get to build your dynasty at your own pace, as you can customize a LOT of the game's aspects
- The management part is quite complex as you have to decide what to produce, which villagers work where (according to their skills), what to sell, what to extract etc
- Plenty of quests every season
- You get to marry and have an heir (and lately play as the heir)
- A big map to explore
- You can get drunk
- You can have a lot of farm animals
- Bandits to take out and loot all of their camps
- You can build reputation with the kingdom and the king, which later on it will help you unlock additional benefits like naming your settlement or creating your own sigil
- Decorations for your settlement, workstations, houses etc.

CONS:

- More decorations would be amazing
- Combat could be improved as it feels clunky at times, but it wasn't a turn off for me personally


SUGGESTIONS:

- The possibility of building defenses for your settlement as well as bandits/thieves/outlaws who try to attack your settlement
- More factors for increasing villagers' happiness
- Additional types of roads
- More decorations possibilities for houses. Would be nice to be able to place chairs, tables and so on inside the house.

This is such a gemstone of a puzzle game that I enjoyed and still enjoy playing, so here are the pros and cons for this game:

PROS:

* Graphics are stunning; the plants look like those vintage stickers used in scrapbooking, which I actually love. The overall aesthetics remind me a little bit of the Edgar Allan Poe stories
* This game has a DEMO, thank all gods for that (triple-A studios, have a seat and take notes, ty)
* The story line is intriguing, mysterious and in some occasions, dark
* There is a wide variety of collectible plants for all sorts of purposes
* The puzzles are interesting and fun and you really need to pay attention to every clue, every letter, in order to solve the puzzles
* You have a lot of tools to use in your exploring: mysterious artifacts, maps, your book of plants, microscope etc
* The exploring area is quite large for a puzzle game, so you will explore a lot
* This game has !8! different endings, which again for a game like this is quite a lot and I love the re-playability aspect of this game
* You can also brew elixirs based on the recipes you get from various quests
* A lot of story characters to interact with
* BONUS: a lovely black cat called Hellbore who loves scratches and purs

CONS:

*TOO DAMN SHORT
*Maybe it would've been cool if we had a more diverse soundtrack to go with the different characters and quests that we are interacting with, but it's not a big deal.
*Would've loved more customization options for the shop


Overall, this is such a great and lovely single-player puzzle game and I definitely recommend it!

I started to play this game without any kind of hope or expectations. At first it seemed ok, but after reaching T2 you start to see all the irregularities of this game.

First, the upgrade gear system is horrendous. You can waste a full day or several days of farming dungeons, raids etc just so the game can f*ck you up and FAIL your upgrade at a 70% chance of success. Not to mention that the chances of success drop as you advance in your tier, which is utter ♥♥♥♥.

Second, whoever is willing to pay a disgusting amount of money for in-game currency will definitely be ahead of you, which is again ♥♥♥♥ in a MMO, but then again this is how things work in Asia, since this game was initially designed for Asia.

There is a ton of useless "collectibles" which are super time-consuming to gather them, not to mention that many of them don't even give you a useful reward for collecting them.

Some classes in PVP are BROKEN. And I mean literally BROKEN. You can be kept in stagger for like a minute and you cant do anything about it, therefore in PVP you will see only a few classes being spammed because of this. God forbid you play a completely different class, cause you will be decimated and, ofc, not enjoying anything.

Overall, this game has more negative aspects than positive imo, therefore I do not recommend it to anyone, unless you are willing to pay hard with your wallet to reach T3.

I really had no expectations from this game, since I purchased it for 2 Eur only. However I decided to give it a try and I can say it as simple as possible: I was barely able to get away from the computer while playing it! Therefore here are the pros and cons of this game:

PROS:
- A wide variety of puzzles: some are simple, but some are quite hard, therefore quite some challenges along the road
- Plenty of suspects are story-versions, which makes your decisions quite complicated
- The ability to disguise Sherlock into other characters (damn, I always wanted to see Sherlock as a priest :)) )
- The ability of choosing the fate of the guilty ones
- The ability of actually using your imagination and working with it
- The ability of making research or investigate the evidence using various tools
- Interesting dialogues
- A lot of sneaking
- Although the cases are quite different, some aspects of the stories are linked to each other

CONS
- The game is too short :))
- Some of the riddles can be confusing at times, therefore you might see yourself a bit lost when attempting to resolve a case

Overall, this game deserves a 9/10 and to be fair, I want to play it again :))

At the very beginning, H1Z1 looked like a very promising game, which reapidly collapsed because of their dev team. 0 interest in rewarding their players, 0 actions against hackers and so on.

Now the dev team came up with new so-called "changes" in the game: a new mode, with cars, which seems kinda ok. But then, if you look at the Duos Mode for example, you can now choose where do you wanna land and, of course, you can see where the rest are landing and where the safe zone is, I mean really? What kind of survival game is this, where you know where the safe zone is and where will you land? Big dislike.

If you missed BomberMan then you must play BomberZone. Although the gameplay is pretty simple - you just walking around the Earth and place bombs to kill aliens and their drones, it's more of a game which transmits you energy.By achieveing points during gameplay you can level-up easily and obtain points multipliers. During your "hunting" you can obtain in-game curreny, mystery boxes and boosts which animates a lot the game. You have a shop from where you can buy skins, upgrades and so on and I like that the prices are decent for all the stuff in the shop.

The graphic is pretty well done, as the maze is made of natural elements such as rocks, trees and so on. Although when you change the zones it would be nice if the maze elements would change, according to the zone you're in it. The Earth's appearance is quite interesting in BomberZone.

One thing that I totally loved in BomberZone is the soundtrack. Not only you are playing on rock'n roll rhytms, but unlike other Indie games, this one really matched the soundtrack with the gameplay. Moreover, the soundtrack changes when you switch zones.

Maybe i would be nice to see a multiplayer section for this game, as it would be entertaining to hunt aliens along with your friends.

So yeah, totally recommend this game!
