I have played this game way too much. However, this is because it is so good!

This is the quintessential city planning game. If you like urban planning then this game if for you! However, the main problem is the fact that you will have to mod the game to get a complete experience as without them you won't even be able to control how the lanes work at intersections and such. Modding is free and not too difficult due to the workshop.

I would recommend to anyone who watches either Adam Something or Not Just Bikes on YouTube.

Overall 8/10

This game has a very interesting and captivating storyline. It also features some really cool horror game aspects like how Simon (Playable Character) can trip on stairs while running and how when you switch mags before you're out, you lose that mag. Also, when duel wielding you can't reload. These little things accumulate into a really immersive and at times, actually scary experience. The game also features alot of awesome areas taking place in Stockholm sweden and has some surprisingly beautiful areas for an engine from 1999. However, the game does have bad parts, like the absolutely infuriatingly clunky and slippery platforming sections that made me hate some sections. Also, a few moments where the save points are placed extremely unfairly and even stupidly. For instance, there was one time where I hjad to listen to a dialogue sequence like 30 times as I tried to attempt a really hard challenge at the end of it. They could've just put the save point at the entrance to that room and then it wouldn't have taken away from the experience. However, even through this, the game managed to keep me hooked and wanting to find out more. Plus, the best offer of all. THE GAME IS FREE!

Farcry Primal has an awesome and original concept. The game has a decently gripping story with a beautiful world for the player to explore(Kind of standard for a FarCry map). The gameplay is great with allsorts of different options for the player to utilise when approaching a mission area. The open ended mission design does cause the main story to lose traction at times and even make the game confusing to complete if you do the boss fights too early. However, this open ended design does wonders for the gameplay as it allows players to enter every mission with different abilities/skills/equipment depending on what missions they decided to do first. Overall the game is fun and if you're into Farcry it's worth playing. Also, there is no map editor or Multiplayer so if you want that this isn't the game for you. My suggestion for that would be Farcry 5.

Far cry 4 takes everything great from Far Cry 3 and improves on it marginally. Like for instance, some of the handling animations on the weapons are a bit more crisp and the UI is alot clearer and easier to read. The game also feels a tiny bit less clunky than Far Cry 3. Far Cry 4 offers an awesome setting filled with some pretty cool characters and scenery. It also introduces a new co-op mode where you play in the map of Kyrat with your friends!! Not just boring co-op missions any longer!

The map editor is a big improvment from Far Cry 3. With the addition of single player maps allowing users to create cool levels and publish them for other players to enjoy. This was very good to see and caused me to spend some time making a few maps.

Far Cry 5 is an addictive yet, downgraded version of the previous game sin the series. The silent protagonist doesn't fit my liking too well and the villains are nowhere even close to those from previous farcry titles. With this however, the actual gameplay is very fun and the gunplay is a big upgrade from previous games. You could easily sink alot of time into the main story and still not have done everything the game has to offer. There is a new game+ mode however, because of the sheer amount of content before finishing the game, I can't bring myself to play through the story again.

The map editor or "Arcade" as it's called is easily the best in the series. It brings over alot of features from Far Cry 4's editor like the single player level publishment but adds ontop of it by adding the use of assets from almost every ubisoft game since Far Cry 4 until Far Cry 5 (Including Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs etc.) This allows for some really fun singleplayer and multiplayer custom maps to be available to the player. However, the multiplayer is kind of dead :( .

When I got this game, I hammered the campaign. The story mode has quite a decent amount of content. It took me around 12 hours to complete it and that was only on normal difficulty. The campaign was filled with great "balls to the walls" action and had very good level design. There were only a few times where I got stuck and all it took was a quick look at the map to get unstuck. However, this game does have a few issues near the end, I experienced some game breaking glitches in the last 3 levels of the game where it wouldn't allow me to go to the next part of the level so I would have to go back and redo quite a bit from the last checkpoint. At times this was very frustrating because it happened after some fights that I would struggle to get past so when I finally got past I would have to go to the last checkpoint and do it all again. Overall I would give the story a 9.9/10 (Not 10/10 because of the glitches). Next the multiplayer... it's dead so you will not be able to get any matches. I wish I got to play the multiplayer but there isn't a good chance of it coming back. It was probably just tacked on anyways. Overall score for multiplayer from my experience, 1/10. Next, the snap map. I haven't played much of this or made any of my own maps but I can say that the community made maps were glorious. I especially enjoyed playing a horde mode map where me and my friends would see which one of us could get the highest score. I would give this feature a 7/10. Overall, the game is definitely worth picking up and playing through. Especially if you loved the DOOM franchise in the past. Overall rating: 9/10

Pretty bad game to be honest. The only reason why I played this was because I didn't have Minecraft at the time. The game just isn't smooth and is a downright plagarism of Minecraft. However you do get what you paid for ($0 Type Quality). I feel bad for the developers who spent time on this. I'd give the game a:
4/10

People say that this game has a bad story arc. This is false, the story is very entertaining, the game play is damn awesome and there is so many things you can do on this game even after you complete the main story. However, the game doesn't do a very good job at enticing you to do these extra missions. The story missions however, are high octane and exciting. This is my first far cry experience so there may be bias but overall i'd give this game:
9.3/10

This game was very good. The story was captivating and I always couldn't wait to see what would happen next. My favourite characters by far were Roman, Little Jacob and Packie (Brucie had some funny moments too.) The only bad things with this game are 1: As you progress further through the story, you get to see Roman and Jacob less and less meaning that less jokes pop up. 2: There is only one checkpoint in the entire game so if you fail any mission except for that one, you will have to completley restart the mission (Including the driving to where the mission takes place). It's a step up from San Andreas's version of that as now you no longer have to respawn at the hospital and drive back to where the mission activates. Although this was still very frustrating to me. The gameplay is good but isn't as good as GTA V but that's understandable. Would definitely recommend buying this game and playing it through to the end.

This game was very good. It actually took me quite a while to finish just the main story. I still have alot of side quests and collectables to do but I really enjoyed the game and am definitley going to play the next one when I can buy it. The story is mediocre however but I do enjoy the "Trapped on an island" aspect, however the whole sun queen story didn't really appeal to me that much but the gameplay more than makes up for it. I would definitely recommend playing even if it is an old game.
