The multiplayer is host based which means rubberbanding and lag. On top of this it looks as thought most if not all of the multiplayer is deserted at this point. Finding matches can be quite difficult if not impossible.
Pro Stealth sections shine
Some of the best parts of the game are the stealth sections. Silently traversing tight quarters all while trying to not alert the badies, taking them out one by one is quite enjoyable and shows off the great level design of the game.
Pro Combined elements relate Lara's story well
Between the story and animation the game tells an interesting story for Lara's character. Comparable to action movies, the direction and and acting tell a grand story that is not only fun to play but watch as well.
Pro Great story wrapped around in biting and relevant social commentary
Grand Theft Auto V is a smart, comical but biting social commentary on contemporary relevant matters. It satirizes almost anything that has to do with the current pop culture. Millennials, celebrities, the right, the left, the middle class, the upper class, the media and even the video game indust...
Pro Freedom to explore almost anything
Besides providing players with a huge open world, Grand Theft Auto V also gives them the ability and freedom to explore every corner of the map available to them with any vehicle available to them in the game.
Pro Massive scope
The world of Grand Theft Auto V is extraordinarily massive and filled with details. For example, you can be working to complete a mission which may involve flying a plane, fighting the crew of that plane, crashing it, and finally parachuting out of it only to find an off-road buggy landing. This,...
Pro Adventure aspects add to what would be a stale FPS
Being able to scale cliffs, hunt and trap animals, and use ones environment as a weapon against enemies adds to the basics of first person shooting making for a fun adventure game on top of a slick FPS.
Pro Options in play due to creativity
There are so many ways to tackle a situation that makes this game what it is. In one instance you could lure an animal towards enemies in order to kill them, or in another you could run everyone over with a truck. Even better is that explosives can be attached to things, even vehicles, so you can...
Con Environment feels too familiar
While Farcry 1-3 all had different locales that had their own styles, 4 looks much like 3 and is not that much of a departure. For those looking for a different experience it is not going to be found in 4 sadly.
Far Cry 4 is an open-world first person shooter adventure game created by Ubisoft. The gameplay consists of mainly first person shooter action, where the player is tasked with going to different areas of an open-world map in order to shoot particular people to complete a task. Players can slowly upgrade their equipment/weapons through what they earn in completing certain tasks. This is repeated until the player finally finishes the game.
Con Stealth seems pointless
While there are stealth takedowns in the game and many areas allow for stealth, there is no real incentive to be stealthy while traversing each level as Lara is a very competent fighter, which is now expanded upon by weapons that can be built. So yes you can accomplish many section with stealth, t...
Pro Replayability through unlockables
Once a level is competed, the player can go back to then try to complete unfinished or new objectives, many of which will unlock new outfits or other items. This incentivizes the player to play again and again for those that want to find every item that can be found and complete each and every obj...
Pro Puzzles often use the whole stage
The puzzles in the game (though there are less of them over previous titles) often use the whole stage as one big interactive puzzle. Often Lara will have to traverse high and low in a stage in order to unlock hidden areas or just to advance to the next large set piece. As the game progresses the...
Rise of the Tomb Raider is an action-adventure game developed by Crystal Dynamics. It features Lara Croft in an Indian Jones like story where she is looking to discover long lost artifacts while also defeating bad guys. The gameplay consists of 3rd person view action adventure platforming and gunplay.
Con Awful performance
The game has serious issues running smoothly on PC. The framerate is capped at 50fps no matter what equipment is used. Being that monitors are normally 60hz or more, this means the framerate can not even reach the refresh rate of any monitor available for PC. Though there is a 30fps cap available...
Con Gameplay progression is not balanced
The first half of the game sees the player unlock all of the main characters special powers, meaning the second half of the game gives little to work towards other than finishing the game and defeating the bad people. It would have been nice to see elements of gameplay still being unlocked in the...
Pro High production to TV segments
The TV segments of the game are really high in production value as they rival any top show on the big networks or streaming services. On top of this the story contained within them offer some great incites as to the motives of the bad guys and heroes alike. All this adds up to a level of polish not
Quantum Break is a cinematic third-person shooter developed by Remedy Entertainment (the designers of Max Pain). The gameplay consists of action third-person shooting fused with a time control mechanic. There are four cinematic live action sequences between each stage (of which there are five stages), which gives a more cinematic feel to the game.
