Edit. Simply fantastic. They pulled off a winner here. I really enjoyed Outer Worlds but this perfected it. I won't say it's Fallout New Vegas. But considering what that game meant at its time, this is what we wanted now. I am much further in this game now, and to not positively compare it to Fallout New Vegas is sacrilege. This game has ALL the DNA. The wonder of exploring and choosing factions is all here. The only hate I can imagine this game getting besides the natural toxicity that comes from the gaming community these days, is Fallout, die hards, living in nostalgia and refusing to move on. If you loved New Vegas there is ABSOLUTELY no reason you shouldn't love this. I find myself constantly straying the mission to explore every corner of every planet. This game is pretty much a masterpiece and should be regarded as such. Thank you Obsidian and thank you XBOX for delivering!

I will say I did NOT have high hopes going into this in today's culture. Boy was I surprised, I was left in complete shock and jaw dropped by the the end of the pilot

What an underrated masterpiece. It'd hard to find games with this much love and tender care put into their development. I'm not a big fan of Don't Nod. But they were really cooking when they made this one. The only flaw is their budget. I cant imagine what they would have done if they had an AC Shadows budget.

I loved it. Kind of fills the Ash vs Evil Dead void.

Edit after starting my ng+ run from 3 stars to 4. I judged too harshly:I'm late on this as usual, but I will say from the start, I WANT to give this game 5 stars because it DEFINITELY stepped up its game from Star Wars:Fallen Order. Only because of VERY poorly designed boss fights (optional and main) does it lose its 1 star. I am a die hard Souls-Bourne fan. Love them, beat them all multiple times, even the infamous Midir and before patch Radhan. So when I say I'm familiar with tough bosses I mean it. But nothing aggravated me like this game. There are a couple of encounters that I won't spoil for anyone that were simply not fun and unfair. These two things right here is what Respawn fails at. If they want to cheat off Fromsoftware they are going to need to learn those 2 simple things. Making the fights FUN and making the fights FAIR. In some cases they can falter with ONE aspect as LONG as its made up for by the other. That is what Fromsoftware NAILS. There is also the problem with CUTSCENES during boss fights that kill momentum and make repeated attempts demotivating and burn you out. So I digress, If a boss is unfair like in my opinion Midir well, at least it's FUN! Or maybe the boss isn't fun like let's say Rhadan, well at least its fair. These are just subjective examples. The combat is too wonky for what they're trying to accomplish and the bosses have too many unblockable attacks. In some cases in very small areas even. Now since I'm done with the negative I will go with the 3 star portion, and it's worth every bit. The scenery is amazing the story is gripping and loot is EVERYWHERE with fun puzzles in between. I absolutely LOVED this game except for the previous mention. I played it out. I played this game so much I didn't sleep for 2 days. It's that good. Don't go into this game expecting sunshine and rainbows as with any Star Wars story there is plenty of joy, love, and betrayal. With a touch, no alot of heart ache. At one point there is a young girl singing a hauntingly beautiful song that will bring tears to your eyes. The ending is well thought out without it ever feeling lazy or rushed. It definitely leaves the story open to our final installment while satisfyingly closing out this installment. Overall I think anyone will enjoy this game but beware, some of the bosses come cheap but pack an unfair wallop that is surely to turn you off. Don't let it, with some grit and grind you will persevere like in true Jedi fashion.

I'm late on this but just gonna say it's great but faaar from perfect. In fact I'm not even sure what all the fuss was about. I'm a souls-Bourne fan mostly. I was excited about this but some of it is just poorly put together. Some of the combat mechanics are ridiculous. But I will say this I had fun.

I'm absolutely in love with this game. The exploration feels so encouraged. The graphics are top notch. The story is so different and the different ways to go about combat make it fun and addicting. The boss fights are epic with almost a souls-like feel with even a dodging mechanic. It's different in its own way, but the same in some other ways that make it simple to comprehend. Picture Bg3 with parcour, no limitations to your characters movements but the same scenery and without all the bulk. I know there alot of mixed reviews but the gaming community (which I am part of) has become too toxic. Give it a try and see if it works for you. I'm a hard to please gamer. If I can keep my attention on something with this kind of maniacal focus it's a good game. Edit: This game is also being pitched mostly as a First person, I have been playing in third person my entire playthrough and it is delightful.

Don't understand the bad google reviews, but this show is a banger. It should be illegal how good this show is. It's a little slow to get into but once you're in it, you can't stop.

Forget what ever you read at the bottom, if you're looking for something to scratch that souls itch AND bring something entirely new(story, atmosphere, and setting) to the table, then this is the game for you. I'm XBOX all the way but HATE that bloodborne is a Sony exclusive, but this kind of makes up for it.

I don't understand all the hate. Purely because of political-correctness? I've read the books and played and beat most the games but gave up on the movies because of loose story lines and cheap writing. But this show is AWESOME. Ignore the hate, Albert Wesker is in general American lore a white man. But it doesn't make a difference on the color of the man who is playing the role. He does an awesome job. 👌
