Banhammered for Being Chaos-Bland
While I am a big fan of the hack n slash RPG genre, trying to find a decent one to match the master Diablo series has been a challenge. Every now and then we find something surprising - like the Van Helsing game - but most other times we mercilessly slog through games like Titan Quest or Torchlight III. Most games in this genre fall short and even with a Warhammer backing, Chaosbane must join the ranks of the underwhelming. Looks and Stuff: For a game that actually changes your appearance based on what armor you wear, it fails to celebrate this by having a camera that pans so far out that any change is lost in the distance. This also means that even with some fairly good creature designs you get little detail in the chaotic, muddled …

Ghost of Tsushima Review comment
Ha, ha, "Power of the PS5." More like, "Power of any computer with the equivalent of an RTX 2060 inside."

Now that I have the game, GOG Galaxy shows me how much my friends have played it: You logged 165 hours!

Yikes! But while we're on the topic of yelling at robots, you should definitely cuss-out the RNG dice roller that picked this turd for you to play this year.

How many hours did you get out of it? You seemed to be playing it for-EVAR.

Metro 2033 Review comment

Horizon: Zero Dawn Review comment
This is pretty much the ONLY PS4 exclusive I'm interested in. Maybe I'll get to play it if it comes to the Epic Store... or maybe I'll borrow your PS4 once you blow $500 on a PS5.

Good write up. It almost makes me want to pull this game out of the Dump Truck and put it on the Backburner instead.

"Sense of accomplishment?" Really? You're gonna spew that Souls Troll propaganda around here?
