As usual for the Metro franchise, this 3rd game is absolutely phenomenal! And imo, Exodus is the best one yet. Absolutely hated waiting bc of the stupid 1st year Epic exclusive, but it is what it is. This story takes off from where Metro Last Light & the book "Metro 2035" left us. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic games, story driven shooters, interactions with other in-game characters, or all of the above... you're going to enjoy this game! The feel & atmosphere of this game is absolutely EPIC as well! Only game series that rivals the STALKER series for game atmosphere. While *MAYBE* not my top favorite story-driven shooter of all-time, it's definitely at the top of my list alongside titles like Deus Ex 1, Half-Life 1/2, the Wolfenstein series, etc. It's definitely the kind of game where I'd love to play it over-and-over-and-over again as the years go on. 4A Games & Deep Silver did an absolutely amazing job on this series! Cheers guys!

Nazi Germany makes some amazing technological discoveries before & during World War II and... blah blah blah, yada yada yada, etc... think you all know where this is going. The World is now overpopulated & subjected to Nazi rule - so now it's time to get that population problem back under control! With former US Army Capt. BJ Blaskowitz & a crapload bullets!!!!! ;) :P lol. I'll leave the story to you all, but I will say that the story, setting, and characters are nothing short of AMAZING!

I absolutely love the games that take you back to the classics! Not only is this an awesome game, with an awesome story, and awesome dialogue, with awesome choices that can effect certain people/dialogue/outcomes; but it also has some really funny parts as well. Did I forget to say "AWESOME"?!?! :P I especially loved the minigame, "Wolfstone", I believe it's called - a minigame that, in this game, is an arcade game and part-replica of Wolfenstein 3D... one of the very first games I played on PC in the mid-1990's (think of the pixelated 1st Doom game if you're unfamiliar). All that said... this game is definitely for mature audiences!
BECOME THE NAZI KILLING MACHINE THAT YOU WERE BORN TO BE!!!!!

It really sucks when you die and lose a couple million souls. :P

YOU DIED
YOU DIED
YOU DIED

Get used to seeing it lol. "Git Gud" is what most people like to say when seeking help. Seriously, this is one of the more challenging game-series out there. Dark Souls III is no exception to that, but imo - DS3 is probably the easiest of the Dark Souls games... not so much because of the enemies, but because the responsiveness & controls are MUCH better for KB+mouse users than in the previous games. I don't have a ton of time on this Steam copy of the game as I've put most of my time on a different account, but I will tell you that the game (this one [DS3] in particular) is hard BUT phenomenal. Release was kind of dwarfed by The Witcher 3's hype (for good reason), as this game came out around the same time if I remember right - late 2015/early 2016. Amazing graphics for the time-period, and even better environment & scenery - when you're not focusing on the few tough "baddies" rushing you or the hordes you have to get through on your way to your next big boss fight lol. You also have to be careful for other players. It's good to get help at times for bosses or to get through certain areas, BUT you also run the risk of not-so-nice players raiding you. I'm able to handle myself - I'm not the best player out there, but I do pretty well. Half my deaths now are from doing stupid stuff, trying to get to certain areas or even places I shouldn't [be able to] and end up falling off cliffs, stairs, or ledges, etc. - gotta love those secrets lol. Seriously, some of the best (and coolest) bosses you will ever fight [in any game] are in this game & game series: Nameless King, The Abyss Watchers, Knight Artorias [of the Abyss] (DS1), S.K. Gael, Darkeater Midir, Soul of Cinder, etc. (just to name a few). If difficulty doesn't bother you, GET THIS GAME. You won't regret it!!!!! ;)

Tips: Try everything out on your own first. Take it slow and "Git Gud". Spend your first few attempts learning how your opponents move, how they time their attacks, when they cast certain spells, etc. Learn their weaknesses, learn how to dodge and/or parry well, and time your attacks in between theirs. PRACTICE moves & combinations. Spend your souls whenever you can (unless you're saving up for something super good). "Bash" chests before you open them unless you have a fondness for getting eaten by Mimics. ;) :P Watch your weight/carrying load as it effects your dodge speed/distance. Try out every kind of weapon you can to see what you are better with. Fist weapons are the most fun for me, but I also use Greatswords for the damage and longsword&shield for protection at times too. Bows are great for pulling certain types of enemies as well. Just use what you're comfortable with - don't just go with what somebody online tells you that you're a "n00b" for not using.

Recommended stat-points order:
Level Vigor to 18-20 at least before the rest
After that a LITTLE bit of Strength or Dex (whatever you prefer), followed by a bit of Vitality & Endurance. Adding Endurance will give you more stamina (caps @ 40) + equipment load. Having anything that increases stability & poise is a plus too as it reduces stagger. Other advice: keep your weight ratio under 70% (the lower the better); under 50% will increase invincibility length after a dodge and the lower you have it, the further you can dodge as well.

Though not my favorite game or RPG of all-time, this game is HIGHLY recommended! It definitely has some of THE best combat, the best PvP, and the best challenges of any medieval-style fantasy RPG's to present date.
"Git Gud" & Good Luck! ;)

Extremely awesome turn-based strategy game. I LOVE the Total War series - and this game, Rome TW, is my ultimate favorite of all (Empire TW comes in 2nd) Always been a history buff & the Greco-Roman era is one of my favorites!

Such a classic! Bit of an older game, but still super fun to play :)

Odd game... Takes a couple hours of play before you even realize what it's about. Good game tho - kind of like a cheaper-made shooter version of Hellgate: London (HGL). If I had to describe it, I'd say it's a dark shooter w/ some rpg elements to it (such as questlines & character level/ability progression). Combat is good, but more difficult than most shooters

Try it - you may like it! :)

EXTREMELY AWESOME GAME!!!! XD
All my friends definitely better get this game or you're not my friend! lol jk

Graphics visuals are incredible! and you don't even need a super high-end PC to play it on. I've seen someone play it on 3-4 year-old hardware. Game can work on DX9, DX10, or DX11 rigs.
Played for over 100 hours and not even near done yet. I'm waiting to continue where I am with the major storyline unitl after I'm as high I can go with all the major guilds/faction first. There are so many different ways to play, is so much to do & the game has so many places to explore. I'm just awe-struck everytime I enter the world of Skyrim.

The Elder Scrolls series gets better & better with each new game release - and I've been with the series since The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (around 1997-98).
TES V: Skyrim = PHENOMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Get it!!! ;)

Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution is an extremely awesome SP First-Person Shooter!!!!

PROS:
~ Amazing graphics... first game I've played that fully utilizes DirectX 11 - and you can tell.
~ Awesome storyline with lore that twists around human-infused bio/nanotechnology as detailed is the first & second games in the DX series.
~ Lots of references (hacked emails, news reports, etc.) to & from storyline characters in the previous DX games as well (the 1st Deus Ex especially)
~ Challenging combat at times w/ difficult boss fights
~ Lots of modability for weapons - you can add silencers, laser sights, damage upgrades (stackable), increased mag capacity upgrades (stackable), reloading speed upgrades (stackable), cooling systems, and the list goes on...
~ VERY AWESOME PC Game overall... in my opinion, not as good as Deus Ex (the 1st one - 1999 game of the year), but comes very close

The only thing I disliked about the game was that once you hit the climax in the plot, the game ended too fast.

Sweet game. Very awesome visuals if you've got a DX10/DX11 supported graphics card. Kinda different from the first 2 Dungeon Siege games, but it's rich in DS lore & has an awesome storyline. Each playable character has their own background, own playstyles and tactics, & npc's can relate differently to you depending on which one you chose. Definitely the kind of SP game you can put a lot of hours into! :)

Another fine addition to the Battlefield franchise... a great series of tactical shooters. All modes are super fun with balanced teams (balanced in skill & effectiveness). I prefer Hardcore Conquest, but that's just my preference. IMO there's not enough vehicles as there can be a lot of enemies baseraping your uncap & stealing your vehicles. Not as many as in the previous BF games. Funny me saying that as I play as infantry 90%-95% of the time. Great focus on teamplay + Punkbuster client is a plus. Won't have hackers like in CoD:MW2 (there might be some, but not near as many or as often). Awesome game to play with friends & clanmembers! XD

Very awesome game if you're looking for a change of pace away from tactical shooters. If L4D2 were a movie, it would be a humorous mockup of a zombie-horror film - kind of like Shaun of the Dead but funnier. Can play by yourself, with friends locally (on a LAN), or online. Many different campaigns & game modes to choose from. Many different [and fun] achievements you can earn. In MP you can play as either one of the survivors (humans) or special infected (zombies). Sure is a load of fun! :)
