Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Wildlands
This game is the perfect middle ground between a casual shooter (like far cry or gta 5) and a military simulation style game (like arma 3).
-The setting is a breath of fresh air in a genre that has become all too repetetive in recent years. With the beautifully designed map of Bolivia offering a break from the same old middle eastern setting that weve become all too accustomed to.
-The world Ubisoft created feels like a real place where people go about their daily business.
-There is a massive ammount of weapons to chose from and every single one of them has its very own characteristics encouraging you to perfect your own personal style.

This game has earned Ubisoft the same honour that I’ve been bestowing EA since Battlefield 2 : Never to buy their games ever again.
Way too many bugs, too many forced inclusions of other Tom Clancy [TM][Copyrighted][BeatDeadHorseSomeMore] franchises, bugs, broken gameplay and unoriginal stories. The keymapping is clearly a port from console. The few good parts are too few and far in between to do the rest of the setting justice. Oh, and bugs that may be irritating or ourtight gamebreaking. Also, loading times that rival the first Operation Flashpoint. The game could’ve been great and shows it - too rarely unfortunately. The rest of the time it is ok or frustrating - did I mention the bugs yet ?

Choo-Choo Charles
Charles is a bloodthirsty train, and you need to destroy him.
Navigate a massive play area in your trusty old train.
These winding tracks are treacherous, so you’ll need to plan each mission. Be careful when clearing your path on foot, or switching the tracks direction, because Charles might be waiting for you.
Upgrade you train to fit your needs.
Go looting or complete missions to find “Scraps”, which can be used to turn your train, into a death machine on wheels.
Get help from the townspeople.
Help out the settlers in return for high powered weapons, and other items vital to Charles' destruction.
Fight Charles to the death.
Prove yourself a worthy train killer, by gaining enough strength, firepower, and skill to take down the mechanical terror once and for all.
In Choo-Choo Charles you’re given the task of eradicating a monster known by the locals as “Charles”. Nobody knows where he came from, but they know why; to eat the flesh of puny humans. You have a small yellow train, with a map, mounted machine gun, and an exquisite collection of bobble-heads on the dashboard. You’ll use this train to get from place to place, while you complete missions for the townspeople, or loot scraps from around the island. Over time you’ll use your scraps to upgrade your train’s speed, armor, and damage. You’ll grow your arsenal, and (hopefully) become an unstoppable force, ready to take on the great and mighty Charles.

Far Cry® 2: Fortune’s Edition
A very sophisticated game, has alot of mechanics that don’t really make sense regarding game design wise (like malaria) but they still work, they fit with the african setting really well. These game design choices also make the game feel different from other entries in the franchise, and we can see with hindsight that this is really important for a game. The game is also generally pretty good, has good gunplay, graphics, sound and an interesting premise. Obviously I recommend this.

It’s… ok. It’s main selling point is the brutal realism it tries to show off. Fire mechanic is cool. It spreads out and causes the grass and trees to burn up. The healing animations when you’re low health are explicitly neat. A lot of people hate the gun-jamming mechanic when your gun gets worn out but I think it adds to more of the realistic setting Ubisoft was trying to go for.
However, there are a few major cons. Guard Outposts respawn when you leave and come back. Driving through the world gets really frustrating and annoying really quick. These outposts are on every road and driving through them means you get shot up bad. If you’re lucky you can drive through and manage to escape. But, most of the time, they cause your vehicle to break down. Forcing you to get out and fight them all again. Either that or a couple of them get into their gun-mounted vehicle and chase you to the ends of the map.

This was my first introduction to open-world type games, and I have to say that I’m hooked now. But what about THIS game?
Well, I can say that despite a few hilarious glitches (some of which a player can take advantage of, while continuing to laugh), and the occasional silly graphics moments, this is a game worth playing once, waiting a few years, and playing again. There’s so much to do, and so many ways to do it. The battle scenes will get your adrenaline up, and death moments will give you that sudden comedown feeling, while victory moments are eerily quiet and oddly normal after all that chaos. You’ll want that cerveza fria that some guy is selling (oddly, moments after a battle is over, and likely from a stand that you might have accidentally blown up with a tank a few minutes before that).

Timothy vs the Aliens
Positives: Overall, it’s a recommendation for those looking for different kind of open world 3D platformer. It’s not often we get actual noire visuals and it looks fantastic and plays well too. Lots to explore, you can get into sewers and rooftops, and even access a few buildings. Great music too. Combat gets the job done. Nothing spectacular, but still fun.
Negatives: Not much options for customization. You can use a controller or m/kb option, and both control well, but there’s no custom button layout. So you’re stuck with what they give. It works, and there’s no issue with the controller layout, but the kb/m layout is a little confusing at first. The biggest thing being that they made the reload button Q instead of R. You get used to it, but it’s an odd choice to say the least. Also, once you’re done with the game, it seems like that’s it. It doesn’t let you go back and mop up missing collectibles/achievements. Oh well.

The game is very short, and has a few frame rate issues, but overall was enjoyable. Something about it’s style and feel during game play is just appealing.
Surely worth picking it up on sale, though based off the few reviews there are, I just wanted to pay full price for the devs. You can find stuff about this game and massive changes it has gone under since at least 2016, when it was isometric. I appreciate the effort that went into this.

Changed the review to positive, the dev fixed a lot of the issues I mentioned.
Like yeah the AI is still basic, its a bit asset reliant (the zombies used for the corpses for example) and it could still use a bit of optimization on some sections but it’s a single dev and I absolutely didn’t know he was working alone when I made my review.
The only thing that really annoy me rn is that if you shoot a dinosaur in the head from behind, the hit will not register as a headshot, so you will have to shoot him another time from the front to kill him and that’s pretty risky.

this game is a very amazing dino shooting/horror game because of the whole inventory system and the way the dinosaurs die but there is one fault, when you go to the last stand area with the other survivors you have two choices: fight alongside with them against the endless amount of raptors and die or blow a hole in the wall so everyone can escape with a C4. i chose option 2 but when i detonated the C4 there was no hole in the wall at all and there was not a single scratch on it it was still in perfect condition and no matter what the wall can take 4 C4’s and still stay in one piece so i restarted the game and got back to where i was and when i detonated the C4 it still stood in one piece so can you please fix that? it would help me so much in the game if you do that. but other than the whole C4 not doing any damage to the wall thing i would definitely recommend this to other players.

Far Cry® 4
This may be one of the greatest games ever made, I’ve played a lot of Ubisoft titles through the years, and I’m sort of shocked that it took me so long to discover how awesome far cry is.
I’ve always loved call of duty campaigns, and far cry 4, feels an awful lot like an open world call of duty campaign, with in-depth interactivity and upgrade mechanics.
Pagan Min is awesome, and the game has held up extremely well.
Definitely made for the audience that would enjoy this sort of stuff.
Highly recommended.

Far Cry 3
After revisiting this game I must say yes, the gameplay/gunplay is pretty good, the setting is good and the story is… fine, I guess? It has many good features that, of course, no FC game had before because up until 3 all titles of the franchise were their own thing (while still being gems imo).
Unfortunately tho, with the amount of features it has to make your life easier, the overall gameplay just becomes too easy. I always considered FC2 and especially FC1 to be notoriously difficult, but FC3 feels like a walk in the park compared to those.

Gonna say it straight up, probably the best piece of media coming out of the Far Cry franchise. It is definitely not the best Far Cry game, but its 100% the best thing that came out of the franchise, for several reasons.
Far Cry 1, Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 3 are all different games. They feel different, they play different, they have different mechanics and they have different characters. Far Cry 1 is a clunky mess, Far Cry 2 is fun, probably the second best thing coming out of the Far Cry franchise, and then there is Far Cry 3.
