Insurgency

Top Pro

Everyone has a different class

When teams are set up the game does not allow multiple people to have the same class chosen for their character which makes for a great way to ensure teams are not imbalanced. See More

Top Con

Steep learning curve at first

Even with experience in other FPS games, you will need to have solid knowledge of the maps and the tactical approach before you start to really enjoy yourself. The maps are very complex, which can cause this process to take a few hours. See More

Specs

Co-Op:8 Player Online / 8 PLayer LAN

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Slow and measured gunplay creates a more realistic atmosphere

In an effort to be more realistic, the gunplay is slow and measured. This makes for an immersive experience, both because of how real it feels and because of how different it is from other FPS games. See More

Top Con

Hard to get in

Even with experience in other fps games poor maps knowledge (they are quite complex) and tactical approach require quite a few hours of learning the game mechanics before you start having actual fun. See More

Top Pro

Steam VoIP support

Insurgency has Steam integration that allows for easy VoIP communication. See More

Top Con

Requires a good team

To truly play this game you need to use communication in order to plan out how to win accordingly. This is a task undertaken by groups of people that are familiar with one another over random people playing together. See More

Top Pro

Mature community means more people can experience enjoyable communications and interactions while online

Insurgency's player community is more mature and respectful than what is commonly expected in online shooters, making communicating both on forums and in the game more enjoyable. See More

Top Pro

Easily play against friends, no matter the OS they use

The game works on Windows, macO and Linux, which means anyone can play the game against someone with one of these different operating systems. See More

Top Pro

Cross-platform

Works on Windows and OSX with Linux support planned. See More

DOOM

Top Pro

Fast-paced, arena-style combat

Rather than a cover system and that emphasizes standing still to regenerate health, Doom emphasizes fast-paced, aggressive gameplay. The level design pushes players to take advantage of the game's strafing and climb mechanics, while the weapons and enemies push players into exciting, close-ranged combat. Because players gain health by killing enemies, they are pushed into more aggressive, risky fights. DOOM differs from most modern shooters because it abandons cover-based gunplay and instead encourages you to never stop advancing. This is achieved by not only making your character very nimble, allowing you to run at high speeds and jump great distances, but also by removing weapon reloading entirely. There is also the glory kill system, which restores your health whenever you melee kill an enemy, so no waiting for your health to restore by itself either. All of this creates exhilarating gunplay where you never have to pause for anything. See More

Top Con

Design may not appeal to everyone

Doom is focused on being an arena shooter at heart for single player and with multiplayer levels being designed without generating health but health pick ups, this is a game that harkens back to older shooters. Many players have moved beyond these gameplay styles and may not enjoy the old school feel of the game. See More

Specs

Genre:Horror FPS

Top Pro

Fun hidden secrets

There are quite a few easter eggs and hidden secrets in the game, such as old school Doom 95 levels, a Commander Keen skull, a Terminator 2 animation or a hidden Doom Marine toy that the player can fist bump. These Easter eggs provide players with an incentive to search out all areas of the game as you never know what you will find. See More

Top Con

Enemy design can get stale

Doom is a game designed around throwing huge mobs of enemies at the player, but players will encounter most of the enemy types by half way through the game, meaning the later encounters can feel somewhat stale. See More

Top Pro

Superb graphics and great performance

The graphics in the game look extremely good, with great lighting and plenty of cool particle effects. Highly detailed environments, fearsome enemies, colorful particle effects, beautiful lighting, and a lot more. Whatever you're looking at in DOOM, it's a treat for the eyes, all without ever dropping below 60 frames per second. Even better, the game runs extremely well, maintaining a locked 60 frames per second. As long as players meet the recommended specs, they will be rewarded with a game that performs beautifully. See More

Top Con

The gore might not be for everyone

Many kill animations, particularly melee kill animations, are quite brutal. Some may find that level of graphic violence off-putting. See More

Top Pro

Fantastic level design

The maps in the game are old-school in the best way, featuring strong labyrinthine design. Many areas are designed in ways that loop back in on themselves in surprising ways; one area a player might see early on could end up being a place that they don't get to until near the end of the level, for instance. The game hides secrets, ammunition, armor, health, and unique challenge minigames throughout its levels that encourages and rewards players for exploration. See More

Top Pro

Powerful and customizable weapon selections

You start the game with a pistol, but almost immediately start getting new weapons such as the shotgun. Over the course of the game, new modifications will be unlocked for each weapon, which allows for a good set of customization. Each weapon has unique alternate fire modes that can be unlocked through tokens earned and challenges completed during gameplay. See More

Top Pro

Old school style multiplayer

There is no regenerating health in the multiplayer mode; users will have to rely on health and armor pickups, which are placed strategically in each map. This means each map has a certain flow in order to collect those items, much like how shooters were designed years ago. This gives an old school feel to the multiplayer and should appeal to those that miss this type of play. See More

Top Pro

Refreshing single purpose gameplay

There is no character development, this is a single purpose game that makes itself very clear from the outset. You are in this game to do one thing, kill demons, sometimes in the most gruesome ways possible. The game is very unapologetic about this, which is refreshing in a time when many games focus on story and play out like an interactive movie. This is much more a throwback to simpler times, run and gun, and it can be quite fun. See More

Top Pro

Intuitive health system

The player can regain health in two ways, one by finding health packs scattered around the level and two by killing enemies. The latter is a great way to stay in the action; it emphasizes playing offensively in order to stay alive, rather than running, hiding, and searching for health packs. See More

Top Pro

Longevity thanks to a level editor

There is a level editor included in the game, which means that anyone can easily create their own single and multiplayer levels. Even better, these games can be shared online, meaning that Doom has a potentially limitless amount of content. See More

Wolfenstein: The New Order

Top Pro

Great level variety

Wolfenstein constantly changes things up; one moment, you might be exploring a massive open level, sneaking through the rain, shooting Nazis with silenced pistols. The next, you might find yourself on the moon, tearing through the Nazis with dual-wielded shotguns and rocket launchers. See More

Top Con

Drops resolution in certain places

Certain points of the game may drop the resolution down to 1760x1080 (from 1920x1080) in order to keep the gameplay running at 60 frames per second, while this does not happen often, it does happen. See More

TrustworthyNodens's Experience

hahahah See More

Specs

Genre:First-Person Shooter

Top Pro

Solid gameplay

Even though the gameplay doesn't innovate, it's really solid. The controls are sharp, the guns feel great, and the stealth sections give it a refreshing amount of variation. All of this will keep you wanting to play a little more, providing your hours of entertainment. See More

Top Con

Dual wield feels out of place

Using two guns at the same time, while a cool concept does not feel fully fleshed out in this title. It is often cumbersome and does not wield great results in firefights, which asks the question of why it was included. See More

Top Pro

Well written and acted

The story in the game is well fleshed out. It is a fictional story about if the Nazis took over the world after WWII, which is not a new premise, but has so many little touches that really create an immersive story that the player cares about. This is where the animation and voice acting of the game comes into play, with things like subtle eye rolls or twirling of thumbs to inflections in a characters voice. It gives a sense that these people in the story are real and when complimented with a well written plot, it makes for a great experience. See More

Top Pro

Rewarding exploration

In most modern shooters you just rush through very linear set pieces, shooting waves upon waves of enemies. Wolfenstein: The New Order rewards you for taking the time to explore. You can find many collectibles, secrets, and even hidden paths, giving you easier/safer methods of clearing a level. See More

Top Pro

Well written and acted characters

While the overarching storyline isn't anything noteworthy, the characters in it stand out due to great voice acting and surprisingly well-written lines. You'll actually enjoy listening to the characters talk, cracking jokes, and contemplating moral dilemmas, causing you to want to learn more about them. This is especially the case with the main character. You'll empathize with his situation and motivations, making you feel a deeper connection than with most modern FPS protagonists. See More

Top Pro

Plays at 1080p and 60fps

The majority of the game holds at a steady 60fps while being played in 1080p or slightly less. This makes for a visually appealing game thanks to the solid framerate in what is often full HD. See More

Far Cry 4

Top Pro

Player creativity is emphasized

You could lure an animal towards enemies in order to kill them, or attach explosives to a car, drive it off a cliff, and watch it explode inside an enemy base. Because the game is so open-ended, players have the ability to approach the world in any way they see fit. See More

Top Con

Environment feels too familiar

Far Cry 1, 2, and 3 were all radically different games; Far Cry 4 plays much like Far Cry 3, using a lot of mechanics like the wingsuit and climbing radio towers to unlock new parts of the map; some players may find this off-putting. See More

Specs

Top Pro

A great villain

Pagan Min, the game's primary antagonist, sees the player as his own child, and toys with the player. He is not a cliche supervillain; he has a degree of paternal affection for the player. See More

Top Pro

Adventure aspects add to what would be a stale FPS

Players can scale cliffs, hunt animals, and use the environment as a weapon against enemies, which adds to the basics of first person shooting, making for a fun adventure game on top of a slick FPS. Nothing is quite as fun as riding on an elephant, crashing into an enemy base. See More

Call of Duty: WWII

Top Pro

Solid gameplay

Even though there are no gimmicks like jetpacks or wall-running, the gameplay in CoD: WWII is all-around solid. The controls are responsive, the aiming is fluid, and each gun handles really well. Whether you're blasting enemy soldiers with your shotgun up close or if you're picking them off with your sniper rifle from afar, it feels great. It's the type of gameplay that can grab the interest of most players and keep them coming back for more. See More

Top Con

Gun balance problems in multiplayer

Some guns such as the STG-44 or the BAR are a cut above the rest, allowing you to kill enemies quicker and from further away than their counterparts. If you switch to an inferior gun, the difference is painfully obvious, making gameplay much harder for you. This is mostly because a slight difference in weapon damage and range can determine if you live or die in multiplayer. As a result, experimenting with other weapons feels unrewarding, causing every player to default to the good weapons. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:First-Person Shooter

Top Pro

Interesting multiplayer mode

While the multiplayer is fairly decent as a whole, the War Mode is the most noteworthy aspect of it. It's a narrative driven multiplayer mode where one team must complete objectives such as repairing a bridge, sabotaging equipment, destroying gun emplacements, and so forth, while the other team tries to stop them. This is a welcome deviation from the usual "run around a map in circles and shoot everyone" type of gameplay, giving you a very focused multiplayer mode that rewards teamwork, which can be really engaging even to players that aren't into competitive shooters. See More

Top Con

Pointless microtransactions

Call of Duty: WWII is yet another game that is plagued by microtransactions, allowing players to buy in-game currency point bundles priced from $2 up to $100. While it can be a means to sustain development for new content and updates in other games, CoD: WWII will just get replaced by the next installment within a year, so it's just a means to up the profit margin by milking players via their loot box addiction. See More

Top Pro

Engaging singleplayer campaign

The campaign focuses on a US marine's journey through WWII, taking you to many well-known battles of the war such as D-Day, Liberation of Paris, and even Battle of the Bulge. It's an excellent mix of interesting main characters, well-written dialogue, excellent action set pieces, dramatic moments, and some unexpected twists along the way. Even though the campaign might last you only about 6 hours, it's still thoroughly enjoyable, giving you a very interactive movie-like experience. See More

Payday 2

Top Pro

Lots of different heists

Pretty much any mainstream ideas for heists (banks, stores, drug dens ect.) to some wacky out of the ordinary missions to keep things fun/fresh. See More

Top Con

Limited to 4 players only

This game has not been built for huge LAN parties (unless you split your players to multiple heists). See More

MemorableSkeiron's Experience

Over 500h in the game, sure the devs have made some mistakes in the past but i feel that they heard the community and made some changes to improve the game, which they did, Really looking forward to Payday 3 now See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:FPS / Action / Heist

Co-Op:4 Player Online

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Lots of customization

Most aspects of the character are customizable, and lots of it affects how the heist will play out. For example if you want to be heavily armored, you will be detected quicker. Or if you are hitting a bank with a lot of deposit boxes you might pick a saw instead of a secondary. And on top of all of that there are skills to pick for specific specializations. See More

Top Con

Train wreck of bad decisions

Developers broke the game to make cash, released a 'feel-good' version to build anticipation for Payday 3. Toxic game, developers, community. See More

FantasticEnkidu's Experience

Disgustingly repetitive See More

Top Pro

Exhilarating gameplay that makes you and your friends feel like you are part of a Michael Mann movie

This game is like the bank heist scene from Heat. See More

Top Con

Some DLC requires owning other games

Some of the cosmetic items are tied into other games available on Steam, which means you can’t access them unless you purchase the other games as well. See More

WorthyAnaideia's Experience

An interesting take on a shooter that gets more fun the longer I play it. With heists ranging from jewelry stores, to museums, to cooking/delivering meth, the missions are diverse if you choose. Multiplayer is a bit smoother with the right team, but it's 100% possible to play it solo. See More

Top Pro

Cooperation based gameplay makes sure no single player is more important than any other

Your crew needs to bring specific equipment and weapons in order to stay out of sight or improve everyones chances in a gunfight. You also need to pay attention to your crew's health and ammo. This creates a situation where each team member heavily relies on the rest in order to succeed. See More

Top Con

Microtransations that boost important stats

With Crimefest 2015, the developer (Overkill) decided to add stat-boosting gun skins that can only be acquired using real money. This makes for a pay-to-win scenario where people who purchase these items have a distinct leg up over non-paying players. See More

Top Pro

Random item placement keeps the games levels fresh

Important items are placed in different locations on each playthrough, adding a slight bit of randomness to how each game plays out. This way you never become too familiar with the layout of each level. See More

Top Con

Pay-To-Win Scheme

As others have said, this game is built on DLC and MicroTransactions. If you decide to just buy the game and not fork out any more money you'll find yourself at a SERIOUS disadvantage over other players. In addition, a lot of in-game items require you to either own other games or subscribe to specific Steam groups. See More

Top Pro

Tons of customization options lets every player individualize their look

You can customize your weapons, masks, and skills using the loot you earn from your heists. This lends itself well to the fact that the game is online multiplayer, being that most players enjoy that they can look different from other players. See More

Top Con

New DLC can be a bit expensive

Getting the new DLC the day it arrives can set you back a fair bit. Your best bet is to wait for a sale. See More

Top Pro

Play as you like, since the missions can be finished in many wildly different ways

You can win levels through stealth, or through a massacre, meaning that you can use nonviolent methods as well as super violent methods, the choice is yours. See More

Top Pro

New content is added regularly, making sure the game stays fresh and updated for everyone

New DLCs are released regularly, which give old players something new to do as well as keeps the game enticing in order to attract new players. See More

Prey

Top Pro

Rewarding exploration

Throughout each level, there are several items to pick up in Prey, in order to save them to recycle into more useful items. There are also computers for the player to browse and read descriptive emails and data logs with new information, or electrical flames acting as obstacles that the player can extinguish with special tools. Environments are dense, telling a story all their own that adds to the intrigue of the main plot. As Morgan levels up, he or she can also unlock new ways to explore earlier locations, such as a feature to glide across locations to reach inaccessible areas, opening up new possibilities to discover. See More

Top Con

Inconsistent graphics

Prey's environments and lighting effects are beautiful, with polished surfaces and fizzling bits of electricity coming from broken wires, but the human models in the game are decidedly average in comparison, their skin looking somewhat bloated or blotched at times that don't seem intentional. Thankfully, the humans in the game aren't as much of a focus as the environments are. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:First-Person Shooter, Immersive Sim

Top Pro

Options to stealth or shoot

Although the effectiveness of the stealth option leaves a lot to be desired, Prey at least gives the player the opportunity to either focus on straightforward combat or sneaking around enemies instead. Much like in the Deus Ex games, not being locked to either playstyle opens up a lot of freedom for exploration and taking on foes. See More

Top Con

Overuse of jump scares

The blob-like, ink-black mimics that appear throughout the space station often sneak up on the player by way of jump scares that gradually overstay their welcome, becoming more of an annoyance than anything, especially for players who dislike horror mechanics. The first few instances of this happening can be a complete turn-off, discouraging those who might have enjoyed the game without this particular design decision. See More

Top Pro

Morality system is well-implemented

Prey has a strong focus on the protagonist Morgan's actions to determine his or her morality, The choices in the game deal with choosing to kill a group of mind-controlled enemies or finding a way to save them. spending limited resources to go out of your way to fight enemies who pose a threat to the space station, or even saving groups of people who don't like you and won't appreciate your sacrifice. It's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and do what best reflects your own morals. These types of choices come up throughout the game, and they feel well-executed and implemented in ways that serve as an example for other morality-based titles to follow. See More

Top Con

Weak stealth options

Because the player isn't forced to choose a dedicated playstyle from the onset, stealth or shooting, it's clear that having both forced the stealth option to suffer, with the primary mechanic being tiptoeing around enemies and hoping that they don't notice. With the dozens of options to mod Morgan's gun and inspire different uses for his or her weapon, the stealth painfully lacks in comparison. See More

Top Pro

Strong opening

The introduction to Prey's story and setting is intriguing, messing with the player's head and forcing them to question if what they had just experienced was real. There's an unsettling air of sterility and complacency where certain factors of the game expect the player, as the protagonist Morgan, to obliviously go along with the proceedings as if nothing is wrong. These events are ultimately more interesting than the rest of the story, but Prey nonetheless has an unforgettable hook that will keep players invested from the get-go. See More

Superhot

Top Pro

Tons of unlockables

There are many different modes and secrets to unlock in the game, also small easter eggs and references everywhere, adding some replayability to this game. See More

Top Con

No sense of flow

It is often hard to read exactly where a bullet will strike, which means the player can get into some aggravating stop/start gameplay where their deaths make little sense and all sense of flow is lost. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:First-Person Shooter

Top Pro

Minimalistic yet beneficial art style

The art style in the game is very cool and minimalistic while actually serving to make the game easier to understand and play. The gameplay in Superhot relies on you being able to react properly to your environment, and the art choices make it really easy to understand what is going on around you. See More

Top Con

Short story mode

Although there are plenty of other modes with a lot of variety, the story mode can typically be beaten in around 2 hours. See More

Top Pro

Lets you roleplay matrix-like battles

The coolest thing about this mechanic is it essentially lets you role play matrix-like battles with you dodging bullets, slicing bullets out of mid-air with a katana and an assortment of other badass things to do. See More

Top Pro

Awesome time-based mechanic

In Superhot time only goes forward when you move. This turns the gameplay into something closer to a puzzle game as you need to be very calculated with every move you make. See More

Ziggurat

Top Pro

Inspired by Hexen and Doom

Ziggurat is heavily inspired by the classic PC games Hexen and Doom, making for a current gen refresh. See More

Top Con

Short

The title is pretty short, with only five levels the game could potentially be beaten in under an hour. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

Procedurally generated levels and random weapons upon start

Ziggurat has large procedurally generated levels where the player start out with a different weapon each time, making for fresh and different experience every time a game is played. See More

Top Con

Death is inevitable and happens often

Being that Ziggurat is a roguelite game, death will happen and it will happen often. While it is by design it can get infuriating at times. See More

Top Pro

Assortment of enemies that have varied designs

There is a large assortment of enemies to battle in game that all have varied designs. See More

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

Top Pro

Rival teams have unique objectives and strategies

Rainbow Six Siege makes players' experience truly unique and engaging by giving both teams different perspective, tools, and objectives. Defenders have to hold their ground against enemy who can burst through walls at any moment. They can fortify the base using barricades and barbed wire, reinforcing doors and windows. The Attackers have to strategize, find the weakest spot in opponent's defence. See More

Top Con

Not beginner friendly

Although there are video tutorials, and a game mode called situations, where people go up against AI, nothing can really prepare you for going up against real people. They added a new game mode which is called newcomers, where there are only 3 maps, and since this game rewards players that have map knowledge, this is a great step towards being beginner friendly, but i feel like there can be more done with this issue. A lot of people are discouraged because they go into a game, expecting to do well, and then they get killed, and dont even know where they got hit from, because just a couple bullets are enough to kill you. See More

Specs

Top Pro

Every kill you get is very rewarding

Top Con

Learning curve

The learning curve with this game is huge, and a lot of the time people quit because of it. See More

Top Pro

Destructible environments make for a lot of fun

Even though you can't raze buildings to the ground, you can make considerable amounts of structural damage to them. You can destroy walls, floors, and various other objects in the environment using gunfire, explosions, or by just slamming something with your weapon. This is a lot of fun, especially when you're new to this game since everything will seem so amazing. See More

Top Con

Lacks single-player content

Rainbow Six Siege is mostly about competitive multiplayer, so it doesn't have a single player campaign, any meaningful storylines, or stuff do alone. If you don't enjoy playing versus other players, Rainbow Six Siege is not the game for you. See More

Top Pro

Great variety of playable classes

You can choose from 10 characters on each side (total of 20) to find the ones that suit your preference, or to explore new, unfamiliar aspects of the gameplay. As an example, there is Sledge who uses a hammer to break through walls, Flash who can blind the enemy with flash bombs, and Frost who can set up traps to neutralize enemies. Having such a wide variety of classes not only adds depth to the gameplay, but also keeps it interesting for a long time. See More

Top Con

Ranked play can be discouraging

Not only does Rainbow Six Siege have a very steep learning curve, requiring you to learn map layouts, classes, weapons, and various gadgets, it also has a pretty volatile and demanding community. Even though you can play in ranked matches when you reach level 20, you'll probably get your butt kicked and get promptly flamed by your teammates. This is mostly because of the expectation that you should know everything about the game before you play ranked matches, which is only around the level 60 mark. If you happen to make the mistake of trying them before then, it might leave you with a bad memory that prevents you from wanting to try ranked play again. See More

Top Pro

Excellent slow-paced gameplay

Rainbow Six Siege is unlike most modern FPS games. Instead of a super fast, twitch-based gameplay, it focuses on a very slow, methodical, and tactical approach to combat. You'll carefully navigate a building, peeking around every corner, using gadgets to scout out rooms, rappelling on walls, and listening to every sound around you. It's less about just shooting first and more about finding the enemy while staying hidden yourself, which is a refreshing change in the over saturated competitive FPS genre. See More

PlanetSide 2

Top Pro

User selectable respawn points

Users can select where they want to respawn after death. There are even vehicles that provide new spawn points on the map that players can drive and leave. This creates a great element of strategy on where to place spawn points when attacking certain targets. See More

Top Con

Pay to win

PlanetSide 2 has pay to win mechanics meant to coerce players into paying for equipment to avoid the extremely long grind it takes to earn anything in game. A brand new player with a deep wallet can customize their gear to their prefered playstyle giving them an advantage over those that opt not to pay. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Mostly Positive

Co-Op:Online PvP

Top Pro

Vehicles

The vehicle options in game add a lot more depth to the strategy of planning attacks on the enemy. See More

Top Con

Poor tutorial, hard to figure all mechanics out

PlanetSide 2 does a poor job at explaining how to play the game or what anything in the mues do. Equipment loadouts are confusing as well as a minefield of pay items. See More

Top Pro

Open world MMO-FPS with huge persistent battles between 3 factions

Three factions are in constant battle for points on a map, with the goal of getting the most pieces on the map or the whole thing. See More

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Top Pro

A well polished singleplayer experience

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus doesn't have a multiplayer, so the entirety of the development resources went into creating a great single player experience. As a result, the graphics, the sound, the level design, the gameplay, and even the story is really well done, making your death-spreading voyage through a world ruled by Nazis really enjoyable. See More

Top Con

No real boss fights

There are the regular Nazis and Nazi robots, and slightly stronger versions of them. There are no epic showdown with especially fearsome baddies with amazing abilities or gigantic guns, so it can feel quite disappointing to players expecting difficult hurdles along the way. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:First-Person Shooter

Top Pro

Excellent gameplay that supports any playstyle

Wolfenstein II is simply fun to play because any approach works for beating a level. You can go in with guns blazing while dual wielding shotguns, shredding Nazis with a cloud of bullets. You can also move from cover to cover while picking off enemies with headshots using an assault rifle. You can even be stealthy and sneak past guards, taking out just the commanding officer. Whichever approach you choose, it will feel like the right way to play the game, making killing Nazis that much more satisfying. See More

Top Con

Very short in length

May only take about six hours to complete after skipping cutscenes. See More

Top Pro

Tons of collectibles

For those wanting to do something extra on top of creating a long trail of dead bodies, there are a multitude of collectibles hidden in each level. This includes gold treasures, concept art, and even newspapers that provide additional backstory on the ongoing events. These small side goals make exploring Nazi bases much more enjoyable. See More

Top Con

You might need to play the prequel to fully appreciate the story

Even though Wolfenstein II tries to fill you in on what happened in the prequel, it does it very poorly. You might feel like you've missed a key story element because characters will keep referencing events and characters you have absolutely no recollection of. This can create a sense of disconnection, potentially ruining your immersion. See More

Top Pro

Great story

Wolfenstein II is a story-driven experience unlike most FPS games. The setting, the main plot, and the various subplots are interesting. It has a relatable main character, likable side-characters, and even a fearsome villain. The dialogue is interesting, quirky, and sometimes funny, striking a perfect balance between being serious and humorous. As a result, Wolfenstein II keeps you interested with more than just excellent gameplay, which is a nice change of pace. See More

Day of Infamy

Top Pro

Appealing for the more hardcore

The game may be considered hardcore over other FPS games. Examples: You need a radio kit to use voice chat if you want to talk to allies on the other side of the map. There are no hit markers, no kill notifications, and no killstreaks. See More

Top Con

No singleplayer campaign

No real singleplayer campaign, but it is possible to play against bots or practice at the shooting range. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Mostly Positive

Top Pro

Modded servers

People are already porting old maps such as "Caratan" in this game, hopefully people will upload a lot more to the workshop. See More

Top Con

Not lightweight

Will not run smoothly on low spec or older systems. When your laptop runs hot, throttling the processor to 75% in the Windows power settings can help a lot. See More

Rising Storm

Top Pro

Each team requires vastly different playstyles

Due to each side having different skills it will make for different tactics that need used depending on the team on is on. This makes for a great way to switch up the gameplay without having to leave the game. See More

Top Con

Can take a commitment to get used to the mechanics and get good

With the precision needed for shooting in the game as well as needing to learn the ins and outs of the skillful mechanics it may take a good while before one can get fully comfortable with the game, which may frustrate some as there will be a time commitment. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Co-Op:4 Player Online

Controller Support:No

Top Pro

Great level design

All maps are quite different from each other and feature good design of the defend and attack elements. This makes for good p=balance that is often not found in many multiplayer games. See More

Fallout 4

Top Pro

Great selection of mods

You can can find all sorts of mods at the Bethesda website, giving you the freedom to change the parts of the game you don't like. This includes interface adjustments, graphical improvements, additional quests, and many other things. See More

Top Con

Occasional bugs

Solid gunplay with an interesting twist

The gunplay plays so well it almost feels like a pure FPS. You can shoot from the hip, aim down the sights/scope, or even just run and gun. However, what makes Fallout 4 stand out is VATS (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System). When you activate VATS, the time slows down to a crawl, allowing you to mark body parts of enemies. When you execute it your character will automatically shoot the marked body parts. This is very useful for getting out of tight spots, allowing you to instantly clear groups of enemies or kill a really tough enemy charging at you. It also has the benefit of making you feel like an expert gunman, even if your aim isn't that great. See More

Top Con

The dialogue choices are confusing

Most of the dialogue choices will only show a few words that don't actually reflect what your character is gonna say. This creates a disconnect between you and your character, making it seem like you don't control what your character is gonna say at any point. See More

Top Pro

Great storyline that is expanded by sidequests

The main storyline is well written featuring the main character looking for redemption and their lost son. Expanding on that is the many side quests available that flush out the world that is Boston in this post apocalyptic future. See More

Top Con

Pipboy UI feels unpleasant to use

When you open your Pipboy (a personal computer that manages your quests, inventory, character data, etc) the screen containing the useful information only covers about a fourth of the entire screen. As a result some of the elements are too crammed, requiring a lot of scrolling. This can be really annoying if you're trying to find something in a list of 100 items. See More

Top Pro

Huge world with a lot to discover

The Fallout world is massive and even outside of the main campaign there are so many things going on that the world feels real and alive. Lots of the buildings are actually enter-able and usually have something unique and interesting to discover. See More

Solid gunplay

Fallout has typically used a slowed down time based gun mechanic called VATS, which works as an assisted shooting and aiming mechanic that allows one to pick the body parts of an enemy to target in slowed down time. This system is present in Fallout 4, but the first/third person gunplay has been improved so much over previous titles that it is not as necessary to use anymore (as it once was). Basically the gunplay works so well in this game that players can run and gun with ease, though the VATs system is still there for those that prefer it. Either way, the gunplay feels and plays well, no matter the system used, which makes for a varied design that feels solid and enjoyable. See More

Unique loot

There is quite a lot of loot to be found in the game. Weapons and armor are scattered all over the wasteland map as well as contained in many dungeons. Unique and legendary loot can be found by defeating certain types of enemies as well. Overall this gives a good incentive to keep exploring and defeating bad guys, all in the search of getting that better piece of gear. See More

One More Dungeon

Top Pro

Barebones gameplay but still quite fun for a few hours

One More Dungeon is a fairly basic first person dungeon crawler. Roaming around dungeons, picking up power ups, killing enemies, avoiding traps, and using a variety of different weapons. There's no looking up or down, so combat is pretty straightforward. Run up and hit a monster, or line up your ranged attack. Bosses have a few simple mechanics but nothing fancy. Dungeons are randomly generated so you'll never play the same one twice. See More

Top Con

There's no story

The only goal is to escape the various dungeons, and there's no kind of story to keep your attention. While this may be okay for some, those who prefer at least a basic story with their games might be disappointed. See More

Retro art style

The simple pixel art is full of charm for those that enjoy the bloated 8 bit style, and it takes a lot of it's inspiration from games such as the original Doom and Minecraft. The blocky textures, chunky pixels, and 2D enemies are a definite nod to old school gaming. It's a visual feast for retro lovers. See More

Top Con

You can't look up or down

There's no Y-axis which means you can't look up and down. This greatly reduces the immersion in the environment and your only perspective is limited to a straight on, first person view. See More

Top Pro

It gives you a fresh experience every run

The dungeons, items, and enemies are procedurally generated. This ensures the levels are truly random each and every time, with items, bosses, traps, and secret rooms scattered about in new places every run. You'll never play the same map twice. See More

Top Con

Melee weapons feel imbalanced to play with

The melee weapons seem to hit a little off center and to the right of where you're actually aiming. You can adjust for this with a little practice, but it just doesn't feel good to control. Also, the range on most melee weapons is so low that they're almost effectively useless since you have to be practically right on top of enemies. During the early game, you'll be too weak to be up close and personal with enemies, so the sheer difficulty discourages any kind of melee play. See More

Interesting ranged weapon play

Staves act as the ranged weapon to shoot projectiles at your foes, as well have some magical attributes like freezing, poisoning, and burning. Staff use is limited as ammo comes in the form of various crystals (fire, ice, and acid) which can be found scattered around the maps. Some staves, such as the Ice Beam Staff, only consume ice crystals. However others, like the Mirror Staff which causes your shots to bounce off walls, requires 1 crystal of each type to use. Some enemies are also weak to certain damage types like fire or acid, so you'll have to plan and manage your crystals appropriately if you want to do max damage with staves. Between the sheer variety of staffs and micromanaging your crystals to use each staff to it's full potential, everything comes together into a ranged weapon system that's both interesting and functional. See More

Top Con

Repetitive gameplay

The randomly generated maps are very similar to one another. In most cases, they require a bunch of backtracking due to bad layouts, meaning a lot of play time is spent walking instead of fighting. Enemies either blindly charge at you or sit at the same predetermined distance to shoot at you, without any kind of noticeable strategy behind their actions. Overall, the similar maps and predictable enemies just don't change things up enough from level to level to retain your interest for long. See More

You can customize the gameplay with Mutators for an added challenge

Every time you kill an enemy, you earn points which can be used to purchase Mutators. These Mutators are game options that change your experience a bit, and are a great way to try something new or add an extra layer of difficulty. Some examples of Mutators include starting the game with 1 hit point, reduced view distance, extra power ups, and extra enemies. There are quite a few to choose from, and you can activate 2 at a time which means you can mix and match them to find your perfect challenge. See More

Surprisingly great characters

Call of Duty adds some great characters to its campaign, some of the best in the game's history. Whether it's loyal comrade-in-arms Salt, or the affable robot Ethan, Call of Duty's memorable characters manage to add some much-needed soul to the game's campaign. See More

Adds some much-needed variety to the Call of Duty formula

After 12 major releases, Call of Duty has become stale. Infinite Warfare revitalizes the gameplay formula by adding space combat. Around half of the optional missions in the game let players pilot a space ship and take on enemy ships, including dogfights with enemy aces. New items, like gravity grenades, help push enemies out of cover, adding some great twists to the traditional Call of Duty formula. See More
