BrutalRoot Reviews

  Take if for what it is: 4/5 A little janky and controller dead zones are being worked right now by the developer. However, if you can get by this, the game itself is amazing. I did not finish the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. back in the day but I still loved it. I went to MP gaming for a bit and never went back to it but once I saw the trailer to this game I knew I wanted to play it as soon as it was released. I knew it was going to have tons of bugs being such a large story driven open-world, but I am still enjoying it! The characters, the world, the enemies, everything in it is created and fine-tuned with a team that is passionate about the series and that they were able to finish this while being at war with Russia is just incredible. The PC edition and the Xbox edition have been running fine for me besides some performance issues which the dev has already started to fix. Again, wait to buy if you prefer to have a fully polished game or have a low-end PC since it does require...

  Take it for what it is: 4/5             I apologize, this is a longer review than my others. I will start off saying I love Dragon Age games. This one I was skeptical about. With the new art style, the story, and especially the gameplay, I was not sure. Then I started to see other reviews out there shitting on it or praising it. I decided to give it a shot and play it myself. I first picked up on Xbox and I was shocked at how much I started to like the new art style, story and game engine. I ended up picking it up on Steam too since Digital Foundry praised its optimization. Everyone is trying to compare this to BG3, which is OK, but it is a completely different type of game. BG3 is turn based D&D choose your own adventure type, this is more like the new Square’s linear Final Fantasy action RPG games. Combat is an action-focused game with spells and abilities you can choose on the fly (I play on the controller and love...

 Take it for what it is: 3.5/5 Story 6/10 This game had so much potential. I don't want to knock on anyone, but I bought this after reading the reviews about how the story was great. It isn't good, but this is my opinion. The dialogue is cringe, and the acting is mediocre, except for select characters. There is hardly any character building before people die (I guess they did this because GoT was popular?), and story parts are out of place. It seems like they had an original story back in the day; then changed the entire script. How is it you are driving and talking on a personal level with Padre in street kid and the montage, only to be introducing yourself to him again later in the game like you never seen him before (they have patched this)? Also, the voice actor of the male V is just bad. He is different than the original voice actor we heard in the original trailers, which shows an even more convoluted story mess happened at CDPR. There are many inconsistencies with emotio...

                  Take it for what it is: 4/5      I played this in 2020 on Xbox, in 2021 on PS, and replaying it on PC in 2022. It is an older game and plays well across all systems I have played it on. I enjoy this game, and I love the Egyptian themes.     It is a different type of AC game, though. It is an action RPG game now instead of a regular action adventure. You level up, gain abilities, and get more potent weapons and shields. Yes, there are many checklists on the map, but I mostly played through the side-quest and the main story. I did knock out quite a few map sections, but I did not do everything in the game. The combat is simple, with dodges and blocks and parries. You unlock more as you progress throughout the game, but it does not change much.     The game is not perfect, and it is not one of the best AC games ever, but a good one.
