Incredible game for lovers of tabletop RPGs like myself. If you enjoy playing Dungeons & Dragons, or any of its d20 variants, you will encounter all the classes that you'd find on any good RPG book, from the good old times of AD&D all the way to the 5th edition. I will list below some of the classes you can play as, in Titanfall 2.

• Wizard — One of my personal favourites. You will cast powerful spells from quaint artifacts that throw projectiles at your enemies. All will tremble before your Hemlok BF-R wand!
• Fighter — If you prefer a tanky character, don't you worry; just like in your favourite dungeon crawling adventures, you can don thick metal armor, wield a mighty sword, and crush little goblins underfoot with your 63-tonne chassis.
• Rogue — This class is very sneaky, as it is able to disappear into thin air right in front of its opponent's eyes. Nimble and dexterous, you will climb up castle walls with ease in order to find the most precious treasures King Kuben Blisk holds in his coffers.
• Ranger — The unsung hero of the wilderness. No one treads the forests of the Frontier without your permission. Wielding your Longbow-DMR, or perhaps the legendary Kraber-AP Sniper crossbow, you are lethal (and practically unbeatable) from a long distance.

If you are not familiar with these archetypes, however, don't be afraid. This game truly is for everyone, and the servers of the VTT platform have been fixed recently, which is why you will see a surge in the amount of roleplayers. RPG is a beginner-friendly hobby, and you should not feel discouraged from it. So if you've always wondered what it would be like to play the game the kids from Stranger Things are obsessed with, or if you have seen the recent Martin Scorsese's Dungeons & Dragons movie starring Robert De Niro and Queen Latifah, and thought it would be a fun pastime to try with your friends, then Titanfall 2 is the game for you. Join us in the magical world of Mystara in the never-ending quest to find a big Tiefling woman that will crush our heads in a triangle choke.

Note: I have played this game much longer than it shows on Steam, because I previously owned it on Roll20 instead.

Early Access Review
This is the worst dating sim I've ever played. Call me shallow, but most of the romanceable characters don't look very good. What's worse, they keep giving you mixed signals the whole time. Sometimes they won't answer the phone or show up at all, other times they keep whispering in your ear and trying to catch your attention. Then, when you think you're finally getting somewhere, the game ends one of two ways: the 'good' ending, where they go steady with you, but you have to move to a weird, foggy neighborhood; and the bad one, where you just pack up and leave, and try to move on.

At least the game gets some nice updates. Now you can go camping at a cozy little spot in the woods, or go do some urban exploring with your friends to take your mind off of the heartbreaks you'll experience while playing.

This is the game that would have saved the pre-Columbian peoples from Spanish domination. It crashes so often, it's unplayable. It happened twice during long, drawn-out combats, and I just can't be bothered anymore. You can have your tropical jungles, natives. I'm out.

The Bayou is home to a peaceful community of people stricken with a mysterious disease. You, along with other players, will break an important quarantine, self-imposed by the citizens of the region, in order to massacre not only them, but each other as well, bringing chaos, mayhem, and unbridled violence to aggravate these poor people even further.

You can tread the corpses of your victims on your own, or invite friends to tag along in your gruesome rampage, as you hunt the bounties put on the most beloved community leaders of Stillwater Bayou, Lawson Delta, and De Salle. You can customize your loadout so the weapons of your preference are available to inflict pain and losses to the inhabitants of Louisiana.

The more you murder, the better you become at it, as long as you leave these zones with impunity. If your sins are left unpunished by the environment or by other players, you famously 'live to die another day', which means only God Himself, in all His wisdom, will strike you down with the mighty hand of vengeance.

You can purchase legendary characters with in-game currency, or through DLC's that cost a boat load of real life money. These are the typical characters you would expect to find on the Deep South of 19th Century United States, such as a Japanese samurai, Abel's murderous brother, or even a monstrous man who covers his shame of being a lawyer with the mask from the Phantom of the Opera.

In your duels, you can use the amazing automatic Mosin rifle, which famously existed around that time, and still exists to this day! It is a thing that exists, as we all know, and we can all agree that it is absolutely not stupid. You will also recreate those high octane scenes from spaghetti western movies where the cowboys shoot each other, killing each other and dying in the process—as you can remember from 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly', where Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Tom Cruise's characters all die in the end, in an intense Mexican standoff.

All in all, this is a perfect game for people who like to sit around with their thumb shoved up their tight little sunflowers, just waiting for an opportunity to ambush each other and say the n-word on voice chat after winning the fight. If you can handle this, then this is the game for you! The feeling of triumph after a victory, whether it was hard-earned, or sly and malicious, is equally warm and sticky in your mouth.

This game is meant for the whole family. A fun, rewarding experience—every minute spent on it will reinforce the feeling of pure bliss that it is to coach a team made of a very special roster of skilled players that will have long, accomplished careers. You and your friends will build your own teams, and hire your own lineups with a fair and balanced budget.

Attributes and perks make all the difference. They will certainly always work when you need them the most, and you will never feel like an absolute failure disgraced by the poor decisions you've made at critical times, because your players will always perform their tasks exactly as you have instructed them to. Nothing is left to random chance, like say, some random roll of a dice.

Now enough of my yapping; get this game and join the big leagues! I have to point out that, at the time of this review, Blood Bowl 2 is 80% off. Buy it, and let us play together, my friend. Join one of the various leagues available—preferably one that I'm playing in—and let me show you the ropes, free of charge. You won't regret it. I'm serious, you won't, just buy the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, Jesus.

Where to begin with this blunt critique of mankind and its most primeval need for violence?

The year is 1979. Humanity has made first contact with extraterrestrial sentient beings at the backdrop of the Cold War. In a display of extreme hostility towards these peaceful, inquisitive newcomers, a ruthless organization known as the ‘Xenonauts’ is put together in order to repeal, oppress, and ultimately destroy them.

Goldhawk Interactive pulls no punches whilst showing how efficient earthlings can be in matters of genocide and hatred towards all that is foreign. The United States and the Soviet Union set aside any quarrels related to the pursuit of military, geopolitical, and, of course, space-faring supremacy in order to build together a war machine to round up and crush these naive, innocent creatures who travelled countless light-years in search of hope and communication only to find you instead.

Indeed, you are put in charge of the Xenonauts. Every nation wants in on the carnage, and truly enough, they will eventually stop funding your researches for better equipment and cutting edge technology in case you don’t allow them to partake in this spectacle of horrors. The biggest irony: the more you study these intriguing visitors and their impressive machinery, the better you get at implementing their intricacies to your own arsenal. Ultimately you will be the ruin of your intergalactic teachers.

In an interesting twist, this game’s only winning move is to allow yourself to lose. If you learn from your mistakes and allow our guests some space on our planet, given time, humanity will eventually be assimilated. This is a great thing for both parties, as tensions will deflate, and a new utopic paradigm will blossom from the seed of this culturally enriching experience. If instead you choose to reject these people (because yes, this is what they are: people) and fight them, well… Then you are just playing it wrong.

The man who killed my father; I found him on the battlefield.

I raised my greatsword—a family heirloom of generations past—and approached that vermin.

He had a rapier in his hand; a lesser weapon, surely that would be no match for a real blade.

Indeed, it was not. I disarmed him with much needed coldness, although my blood boiled for revenge.

He got stuck between two rocks. He couldn't move, for some reason, even though he seemed free to do so.

In his panic, he pulled a lute he carried on his back and started to strum.

Somebody robbed me of my moment by throwing a spear straight through his ribcage.

I don't know what the ♥♥♥♥ happened. These are confusing times.

A rather innovative game, even though most people would tell you otherwise. Ask yourself when was the last time you played a shooter where you needed to aim at the enemy's neck in order to score a headshot. Or perhaps you'd like damage to be completely random, even though these enemies remain the same for the entirety of the game? Say no more.

Embark on this adventure as X, the battle-hardened something from some special forces thing, on a quest to stop the Alien Rage - Unlimited from stealing resources and killing people. On your journey, you will have the help of Some Guy, a humorous man who contacts you on bluetooth to guide you while cracking jokes; Robot Girl, who also goofs around a little bit, and uses technical jargon, making your character literally go: "In English, please?!"; and Disembodied Voice, an older fellow who enthusiastically tells you that you "FOUND BONUS!" right after you pick up said bonus, and also tells you how many individuals you blew up with an explosion.

The game features some interesting stuff, such as collectible audio logs which play in the middle of intense firefights, and you can't really hear anything, so you have to mow down everybody in the big industrial stage so that you can actually stop and listen again. It also has a score count on the upper left-hand corner of the screen. I don't know about you, but I do like to keep track of how many hundreds of billions of points I'm scoring; numbers are never enough. A shooter without a twelve digit number score count is no shooter at all.

Be sure to take cover, and pray to God that they remembered to put some of it on the stage that you're in, because it's a challenging game. As a completionist, I cannot wait to finish it in three different difficulties—Challenging, Are You ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Kidding Me, and Why Am I Still Playing This I Guess I Just Want My Money's Worth—and doing it with nothing but the pistol, which is one of the achievements. If you have a job, make sure to call in sick so that you can spend at least 5 hours shooting at the boss with your trusty pistol. I mean, one of the bosses in the game, not your actual boss. Don't shoot your boss, that's not what I'm trying to communicate in this review.

Ultimately, Alien Rage - Unlimited is a solid story about the horrors of war, and the toll it takes on a soldier. With all your training and experience, and in spite of being in the company of your two most trusted men, the human spirit can be surprisingly fragile before the tribulations you will face in Dubai. Will you find out what caused the Damned 33rd to go Rogue? Will you be able to track Konrad down and ask for answers? Will you be able to make it out of Dubai alive? And if you do... will you still be the same Martin Walker that walked into it?

Come and see.

Funny game at first, but the excessive R@Nd0M humour makes almost all of your choices be a coin toss. Outcomes are completely arbitrary, and I don't have enough patience to do trial and error over and over until something interesting happens.

It had the potential to be an incredible blacksmith trainee simulator, I was really into it. I spent the first ten hours helping my father make a sword, but then the game just subverted my expectations in a complete 180 degree turn. My village was plundered, the women were violated, my family was killed. Fortunately, later on in the game, I was able to join a monastery, and now I just keep playing as a young apprentice, concocting medications for my brothers, attending the mass daily, and following a strict routine in order to achieve extreme levels of piety.

I'm recommending this game, but I'm looking forward to the mods where we can turn off all enemies and hostile people, because I would like to attempt other occupations in medieval Czechia aside from blacksmith apprentice, acolyte, junior miller, and Sir Hans Capon's squire. I'd like to grow some crops, milk some cows, and perhaps just peacefully enjoy a bit of bubonic plague.
