Last Game You Played and What You Would Rate It Out of 10

[Armakus]

Cities: Skylines: 9/10

If you enjoyed the Sim City games of yore, this is 100% the game for you. I kept reading this all over the internet, but regularly delayed trying out this game. I was extremely pleased with pretty much every aspect of the game, in particular, the ability to download mods to improve on aspects of the game that the developers may not have considered. The only reason I gave it a 9/10 instead of a perfect score is I felt very little need to replay it after I "perfected" my city. I did buy it on sale, and I put 17 hours into it on steam - for the price I bought it at, it's an ample amount of play time that was highly enjoyable. I just wish I had a reason to go back and do more.

Horizon Zero Dawn 10/10

Absolutely fantastic: beautiful world, good story, good game play, great controls, open world that just screams for you to be out in it doing things and just fun to play.

Just bought this but haven't played it yet on account of my Nintendo Switch arriving in the mail. After I finish Zelda, this is next on my list - glad to see you're enjoying it.

The Last Guardian - 8/10.

Puzzles are fun, has a nice story and the music is nice.

Horizon: Zero Dawn - 9/10

Haven't played all the way through it courtesy of Zelda coming two days later, but so far the open world and scenery are great so far. Compelling story and the music is quite immersive and poignant.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 9.5/10

I have the Switch version of the game, so the reported frame rate issues aren't too bad for me; only happens when I'm in the middle of a lot of AoE effects. Love everything about this game except for the lack of monster diversity - same monsters throughout the game, just different skins. Also the music, it's nice when it's there; but too often the game is silent. The voice acting is also god awful - Blood Moon anyone...?
Love the shrines and dungeon puzzles, the fact that exploring everything pays off and the story is also on point.

Path of Exile: 8.5/10
The game is extremely good and extremely punishing at some times. It obviously have way more pors than cons, and i'm having a lot of fun with it - especially now that i got grip of how the game mechanics REALLY work. Playing also the newly implemented Solo Self Found mode as i have zero inteerst in trading and while the game doesn't change a thing from original modes, it's still a nice perk.
The main issue the game has (but it may just be a design choice so not completely an issue) is the hard time you have at the beginning - having only a few skills and low stats make the game actually harder at normal than merciless (exception for act 4 that actually is ingored for most part) and the differecne between decent and bad builds. Bad builds can consistently lokc you out of stuff simply because you'll die too much to do anything relevant. Anyway i think it's just part of the game - experimenting and failing - but i can understand why people can be driven away by this.
For the rest, awesome game in any aspect and with new expansion coming, everything is becoming even better. And it's freakin free to play.

Nier:Automata: 9/10
Holy shit. It's awesome. My pc is a potato and i cannot run it at it's full glory and still delivers. Fantastic action combat and theme, story is also really good and the "open world in ruins feeling" drives me insane. The more i explore the more i feel there's something more there, and i'm constantly noting down "go there when you're done with this".

Really. I waited for a game like this for a long time. And i'm enjoying every single moment of it.

2 of the most underrated games of the last 2 years coming through.

Axiom Verge: 9/10

If you liked 2d Metroids, play this asap.

Hollow Knight: 9/10

If you liked Symphony of the Night, play this asap.

[draykorinee]

Titanfall 2 8/10 fantastic but short campaign and a decent multiplayer.

[fangless]

MassEffect:Andromeda -- 7/10. Really a more-action/less-rpg version of Mass Effect, sort of how Dragon Age started to evolve into a true EA title.

Tech issues, questionable writing, those animations lol, all action combat.

It's like... they kept enough of the ME soul around to make it recognizable, but it's missing a few bits here and there that made 1-3 such gems.

[GennGreymane]

Gwent 8/10

Beta is good. Decks feel semi balanced (still in beta), and overall I like that its full of bluffing, tricking, and going for advantage.

[razmir]

Dragon age: inquisition 6/10

It's ok, combat is fun but for some reason it just didn't pull me into the story as origins did. I can quit the game and just don't care about it.
It's possible the war table had something to do with it. I like RPG's that keep you on track of the story.

[Fencers]

Mass Effect: Andromeda 6/10

Eh. Not too bad, not too compelling either. Gameplay kinda sucks and feels bogged down in a lot of unnecessary stuff. The way your character runs/sprints looks funny and cracked me up every time.

[tehealadin]

Tales of Beseria- 8/10.

Still in the process of playing Horizon Zero Dawn, not far enough in to give a rating yet.

Mass Effect 3, extended cinematic ending. 8/10

I played it when it launched and gave it a 5 because of how botched the ending was. Having replayed it with the extended ending makes it better. Because it's the final point of an incredible trilogy, it carries that much weight in the final score.
It's a much better game that people give it credit for. The combat is the best in the series, enemies are the most diverse and it still looks great. The story, prior to the ending, is good enough. It has more political/diplomatic aspects than previous games, which is entirely what I like.

Squad interactions are easily the worst in the series, a sad departure from the masterpiece that ME2 was. That for me is the biggest downside to it all. I also felt like I was much more on rails than in previous ME games, and replaying all of the games only confirmed it. While areas have more alternative pockets to explore, there's hardly any alternative paths to a goal.

That said, it does deliver on big cinematic set pieces (Priority: Tuchanka is one of the best parts of the entire trilogy, behind the Shadow Broker DLC in ME2, Illos in ME1 and the Suicide Mission in ME2) and the sound/music is once again completely on point. "An End, Once And For All" is the most beautiful Mass Effect piece written by Clint Mansell and I can't wait to learn the piano arrangement myself.

Mass Effect Andromeda.
10/10
Amazing game with so many inspiring minority and female characters. Pity about all the hate it gets from racist, sexist, homophobic autisthobes over 'facial animations'.

[GennGreymane]

I would say Breath of the Wild is a 9/10

Its a great game, but to me, it feels like a new foundation.

All 3D Zeldas since Ocarina based themselves heavily on Ocarina without ever really improving on it in anyway. Ocarina also isnt as perfect as people think, there is always room for improvment

With this new engine, all new 10000 year time line , new mechanics, new ideas, and feed back from the fans old and new alike, we will see that next 10/10 from Nintendo very soon. This game is just filled with too much "oh if they could just add or do" moments for me to call it a 10/10

Total War: Warhammer: 8/10.

Had it for a while now but it was the last thing I played before writing this, so! Saw the trailer for it at first and thought "Oh it's a warhammer game, this isn't going to work out at all." but then this game proved that Warhammer Fantasy isn't on the same boat as Warhammer 40K (So many bad 40K games...) and really enjoyed it! It also made me SO darn interested in the Lore. And I always remember a fun comment I once read about it - "You know it's a Grim Dark world when the ORKS are the comedy relief." which is further enhanced, in my opinion, that one of the most 'good guys' (as good as one can get in that universe) would be a vampire. Vlad von Carstein. So OBVIOUSLY he's my favorite Legendary Lord and always was after he was released (and was so darn nice when his wife became playable too and forming their own Faction.)

Gameplay is really fun, only Total war I've played before this was Shogun 2. Strangely though I have way more fun with the 'World view' map rather than the actual combat. But it's still a lot of fun. Now despite that Vlad is my favorite Legendary Lord, Bretonnia was the race/faction I still looked forward to the most. I've always had interests in knights and I study about them a lot, so having a faction based so heavily on that? Count me in!

Turns out though that I'm godawful with cavalry management (which Bretonnia is almost entirely about it feels) and their Melee-cavalry is just not really worth it in the end. They just don't make up for the bad infantry units (and since they seem to be the worst of the whole game, why do they need a tier 4 building just to get the squires?). So I was rather disappointed that the race/faction I looked forward to play the most just end up being NOT my kind of playstyle. Granted, there are mods to give some foot-knights, but just talking about the base-game.

The biggest problem for me is how it can drag out in the end though. Playing as a Vampire, in order to get the biggest victory, you need to defeat all of the Empire, Bretonnia and Dwarfs. It's not fun when the Dwarfs defeat all of the Orks and you have to go down south through the whole badlands and you can't take ANY of their settlements to replenish, and you are stuck walking around in raid mode to make progress down there without suffering damage on all troops.

Mass Effect Andromeda.
8.5/10

Battlefield 1

4/10

Beautiful to look at but I can't get past the gameplay or the historical ridiculousness.

[Adam Jensen]

Mass Effect: Andromeda. 7/10.

Could be 8 out 10, but lacks a lot of polish, is infested with bugs on console. But it's a great start to a new era of Mass Effect, so I feel good about it.

Still, it's not as great as the OT.

Are you serious? criticising facial animations doesn't make you any of those things you pleb.

I'm not entirely sure he was being serious.
