OUTRIDERS
I like to think I’m a patient person, and I’ve waited a month to post this negative review. I honestly regret not doing it sooner. I waited because the game is genuinely fun to play, but at this point the issues are a lead weight on the other side of the scale. I can say that with 134 hours, I’ve gotten my $60 out of this game, but I had to actually “try” to get that value. By the time I was totally fed up, I was outside the refund window, so I kept going to get my money’s worth.
Pros:
1. When the game works, the gameplay is stellar. The blending of shooting and ability use throughout combat works really well. It is also visually entertaining.

Ok, so the developers are being super open about problems and they just releases a 24 GB update. The game is so messed up that it needed an update 1/3 the size of the total package?
Crashes on start up. You double click your desktop icon and there is a 5 to 10 sec nothing happens. Now I had an SSD card drive that plugs in directly to my motherboard with a read speed of 2.5 gb/s. So the game starts with this beautiful graphic, a sweeping view of the game world. The the screen goes black. It stays that way until the first ad screen appears, maybe. Or it just stays black until the game loads a crash log. Which by the way adds a 340 mb file that sits on your drive every time it crashes. I cleaned out the crash dumps and there were 15.5 GB. They don’t tell you about that. Well anyway they said they fixed it, and well they were wrong.

Universe
The Vectordic Union is a galactic government that presides over the majority of the Milky-Way galaxy. In the year 2386, following the genocide of the human race, the many other species became divided without any form of central governance. Douglas Simmons, a general in the Giraffe army, took charge of the galaxy by creating the Vectordic Union.
President Douglas Simmons, in his inagural address to the people of Milky-Way, famously said:
Eh yo man does anyone have some paper with which I could roll this plant matter into a cylindrical vessel?
Ever since this day, the galaxy’s primary social classes have become further and further apart, leading to an insanely profitable small set of corporate overlords. Current President Darnel Simmons has gone missing, and the balance of power is teetering for the first time in almost a hundred years. As part of a band of smugglers aboard a rickety nuclear-powered starship, an unbelievable mystery unfolds.

Borderlands 3
Borderlands 3 is The Family Circus by way of Spencer’s Gifts, a game with long, earnest quests about how darn good coffee is punctuated by gore and gun violence. Borderlands 3 walks by dog poop, points at it, and laughs, and then sets it on fire. Borderlands 3 stays up until 11:30 pm drinking soda and googling crass Flash animations, taking detailed notes.
It’s stuck in the late ’00s, when surface level vulgarity was enough to qualify as edgy—Borderlands 3 is seriously obsessed with turds—and when the series was first conceived. It’s stuck in a time when memes lasted months rather than days, when referential humor was still a novelty and not exhausting, when you could point at something the slightest bit abnormal or gross and call it a joke. Simpler times, not necessarily better times.

Let’s talk about the positives first, the graphics as everyone would expect are a lot better, the devs managed to keep the comic/cartoony look of the past games which gave the franchise more character. The combat is faster and more chaotic, the shooting is far better and the mobility of your character is a lot smoother. The guns are better, there is more variety with cooler designs and mechanics.
Now about the negatives, oh man where do I even begin… First big oopsie, I felt that the game doesn’t care about almost any of the loved characters of the previous games. Half of the past characters appear for 1 or 2 hours (or not at all) and the other half that plays a major role are treated with no respect. Like where the fuck is claptrap?! You cant have a borderlands game without Claptrap playing a major role. The second big oopsie is the villains, they are so cringe… literally. I mean ok, everyone knew that it’s hard to compete with Hansome Jack, but these villains are so fking bad, probably the worst villains I have ever witnessed. Their character feels so forced, they tryed to make them cool with all the memes but the execution is so bad. The DLCs are a lot better than the main game and part of the reason is SPOILER the main game villains don’t appear in any of them.

Borderlands Game of the Year
Big maps filled with a horde of enemies, Millions of gun combinations and dark humor all fit into one large barrel o' fun.
I have gotten my hands on this game way back in 2012 and back then, i didn’t know what i was doing at all, but after a long break without playing the game, to then buy it back on Steam, i don’t regret getting back into it at all.
This game has it all if you’re looking for a loot-and-shoot game. There’s weapons ranging from simple repeater pistols, to rocket launchers and alien weaponry (Eridian weapons may be a little disappointing). They can shoot flames, shock or acid too! On top of that, there’s a bunch of different shield types, grenade mods and class mods, which, along with each character’s skill trees, allow for dozens of different character builds. For a game from 2009, this game looks very good for it’s time in terms of graphics. If your computer isn’t that great, you can always optimize it further than normal. If you plan to buy this, your best bet is getting the GOTY “Enhanced” version. The “Enhanced” edition brings new features, but also new bugs, like memory leaks. However, it’s more ideal if you will only play through the game once or twice.

FPSs aren’t really my thing and I hadn’t played an FPS for maybe 10 years when I accepted trying this out because of a friend’s insistence and my honest intention was to tell my friend “it’s fine but you know, not my thing”, so that I would’ve complied with his request and lose like half an hour playing an FPS. That’s how biased I was against playing Borderlands when I started.
But boy was I in for a ride. The cut-throat atmosphere, dark humour and especially the loot system right away from the get go got me interested. I kept playing and realized I wasn’t that bad of a shot, it was freakishly fun, the skill system and the player characters you get to choose are super cool and the game in general is well super-badass-cool. A wasteland world full of drug pumped bandits, mutated vicious animals and the best part is, well, you’re no better, you’re a cut-throat mercenary in search of legendary lost alien riches and technologies. The friendly NPCs or “good guys” you get to meet during your travels are also shady characters fitting the premise incredibly well.

Alien Shooter 2 - The Legend
I’ve been playing Sigma Team’s games for years, and I really like Alien Shooter 2 - The Legend. As someone who has played through AS2 - Reloaded and ZS2 a bunch of times, there is a LOT that I like in this game that expands on the previous titles in interesting but not too overly complicated ways. But there ARE issues with this game that will hopefully be patched in future updates.
I may make a longer post about pros and cons somewhere in the discussions. But for now, I’m going to share only the most enjoyable pros and annoying cons I’ve experienced in my current play through (not as much of a review for new players as more of a feedback report for the developers and any other players familiar with their games).

With update 1.3 the developers finally addressed a major point of criticism: They made the repetitive filler missions optional (destroy X teleporters, kill X aliens, hold position for X minutes, collect X ammo, food, metal, bones, artifacts). Now you can skip them and only do the real campaign missions. This has reduced the amount of mandatory missions to about 70 from a 150 total. This change was very welcome.
At this point I considered a thumbs up, but there’s one thing holding me back: they added an artificial weapon recoil, which makes your crosshair move upwards every single shot. And it only moves up, up, up, and never back. This constantly forces you to reposition your mouse, even when targeting static spots, makes you miss monsters, and shoot walls instead of the actual target. It’s absolutely annoying. This feature has to be removed.

Almighty: Kill Your Gods
Getting to the point, this game is epic.
I didn’t buy it initially due to the high number of negative reviews. I read all of them at the time, including the positive. Then on a whim, i just bought the game…… and i’m so glad I did.
Honestly, 90% of the negative reviews i read, i have no idea what they were talking about. A lot of them logged more or less than an hour of game time. i’m not even sure they played more than 15 minutes and this game looks really big.
The cut scenes…. i love them. it’s a story based game. They don’t lag, they are mostly just the ancestor figure talking at you and they add a vital element to this complex “world” and story. i’ve just never been bothered by them. most are near the beginning of play as the early quests are made to set you up with getting to know the game which is really useful because there is A LOT to do and be done to progress. a few almost redundant explanations are given related to controls and standard gameplay, but they never get in your way, they are short and simply not on the level in the negative reviews.

To my experience, the game is above average, but not very high. I can easely give it a rough 6/10 at best, or going a little lower to 5.5/10.
For an Early access, when it came out, the game was a mess, almost unplayable. With patches and some optimisations, it starts to run smoothier on my end. They also included some quality of life for an EA to get more stuff in the game itself. That’s the plus.
As for the gameplay, Almighty is litterally a HOARD type of gaming. You kill. You rescue. You Capture. You dig. You loot everything as you can find for your need and for your village and you extract your ressources to the Extractor Portals around the Islands you visit. That’s pretty much what the main gameplay mechanic is.

Crazy Flasher Series 2021
Okey primero de todo la saga de juegos de andy la formo parte de mi infancia y era bastante entretenido en los tiempos que uno iba al cyber a pasar el rato y probaba los juegos flash en pags como newgrounds,armor games,etc.
Pero sinceramente este “port” esta muy mal hecho la resolucion es 800x600 y no se puede cambiar,la musica no es la misma aunque seguramente sea para evitar problemas de autor(asi que podemos dejarlo pasar),cuando uno inicia el juego es un menu con los juegos de 2 al 5(al lado de cada uno podemos ver la lista de trucos para usar)y elegir entre los idiomas ingles y chino,(cabe destacar que faltan algunos juegos como runner x)desgraciadamente uno al iniciar en cualquier juego tiene una unica resolucion,se traba seguido y literalmente es como jugarlo en una pag de juegos flash solo cambia la musica,espero que mejore en varios aspecto en el futuro(de ser posible) ya que esta saga fue muy querida en mi infancia y me apena que haya envejecido para nada bien,ojala se pueda mejorar como tantos otros juegos que empezaron siendo gratuitos en pags flash para despues acabar en steam con un juego bastante mas pulido que su version flash.
