Impressions (cont.):

-Way too much dialogue
-Main story is relatively short
-Besides generating different (but somewhat similar) endings, decisions didn’t really matter
-repetitive combat and gameplay
-still quite buggy overall, but especially Phantom Liberty crashed often

Overall rating: 7/10

Impressions (cont.):

+ Night city is cool to look at with bustling streets and different neighborhood styles
+ Phantom Liberty expansion is a great change of pace with loads of action and Bond-style missions
+ Johnny Silverhand: annoying at first, but I grew quite attached to him at the end

I can see why people like this game - clearly a lot of efforts were put into developing it! But, sadly, it wasn’t my cup of tea…

Impressions:

+ Insanely large game with lots of exploration and side missions ready to distract you from the main plot for hours on end

Impressions (cont.):

+ Developers are still constantly releasing new content
-Game loop can get a bit repetitive

Overall rating: 9/10

Gather 3 friends and let your enemies say hello to DEMOCRACY! Because a true Helldiver knows: “Managed democracy offers absolute freedom; freedom from the burden of choice.”

An extremely chaotic, fun game with tight co-op gameplay, intense action, and hilarious team mishaps.

+ especially recommended for outdoor enthusiasts or explorers
+ characters are well-written and well-acted

Impressions (cont.):

-too many sidequests (aka haunting cases)
-dialogue sections carry on for too long at times
-enemy variety quite small, making combat very repetitive very fast
-lots of backtracking needed for collectibles and fulfilling 100%-requirements

Overall rating: 7/10

A consistently solid gaming experience, without truly excelling in any particular aspect.

Impressions:

+ original story and setting in a videogame
+ player choices influence the story ending
+ great voice acting
+ beautiful open area design, although feels quite empty
