What are your thoughts on this game?
Thanks everyone for your responses. I’m not sure I’ll end up purchasing it. I was hoping for a solo gaming session, but if you think solo play is dull, I don’t have friends who’d join me (they’re even more financially constrained than me and juggle Overwatch). Since I’ve grown much more selective about video games and my schedule has tightened, I’m considering a subscription-based game library. Even with Steam discounts, I’m exhausted from spending money on games I only play briefly. I’d really appreciate some partial reimbursement or the option to return unused titles.
I'm searching for 1) enjoyable casual FPS games for social play (such as Overwatch, Battlefield, Borderlands 2...) or 2) narrative-focused solo experiences across various genres (primarily RPG or FPS). Recent favorites are The Witcher 3, Wolfenstein TNO... I've been let down by my recent solo purchases too—like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which felt only average and hard to play on my setup. I usually spend just a couple of hours before moving on. The first group includes popular mainstream titles (Overwatch, Borderlands, Battlefield) or free-to-play temporary games we used to enjoy (Robocraft, Hawken, Fractured Space) because I have to wait for friends to buy or recommend them. Division seemed promising but would likely fall into the second category unless I get a few friends interested. If solo gaming isn't exciting, I'll definitely look at demos.
For a fun multiplayer experience with a solid story, Gears 4 stands out—especially the Horde mode and campaign. It’s a well-optimized PC version. If you enjoy story-driven titles, Tomb Raider and its sequel are worth checking out; they’re engaging and span over 50 hours with plenty of side content. Prey is also launching soon and seems promising. Don’t miss Shadow of War this summer.
This game offers a flexible approach to character roles. Unlike many RPGs where you're locked into specific classes, here you can mix and match skills, weapons, and armor as needed. You can play as a strong defender or adapt your build based on the situation. The challenge comes from enemies that vary in difficulty depending on your stats and location, but once you hit maximum level, their strength increases with your equipment. If you're keen to try it, I have it available on Uplay and Steam. For those looking for teammates, the "Group" sub-forum is open—just mention me (@ARikozuM) whenever you're ready. I'm typically online between 5 and 8 PM EST.
