7 Days to Die
So after many months of putting of streaming this game I finally probed the Cunts (my friends group) to see if anyone was keen and low and behold everyone was much keener than I to play this. Having now played it, I can see why. This review was posted as of the A17.2 update by someone who has only played the A17.2 update.The blood moon and questing are interesting additions to what would otherwise just be another zombie survival horror game. I *really* don't like how they've done the skill levelling which apparently was better in Alpha 16 but at this stage it's not something to prevent me from playing the game.
Ratings (out of 10)
Graphics: 6 It's not the greatest but it's also not the worst. Water tiles could use some improvement.
Music/Sound: 7 It's a little off with sound location at times. The day time/night time sound is a nice touch.
Gameplay/Content: 8 The world and options are vast, even more so if you are a solo player in a multiplayer world.
Controls: 6/7 There are parts that aren't intuitive. The UI is bad, but not terrible. Would probably be better if I knew the quick key bindings for things.
Accessibility: I'm going to go with a 5/10 - this is a hard game though I'd like to try single player and see how I go at some point. I imagine it's a lot easier to die if you don't have friends helping you out.
Would I play it again/keep playing it? I am definitely happy with my purchase now that I've tried playing the game.
But going by other reviews for how it was during Alpha 16 I have to wonder if the game has taken a step forward or a step backward.
It's been in Alpha for a *long time*. If you haven't bought it already I'd probably wait for a similar game to be released.
Rainbow Six Siege
Now that I have an SSD and have solved my loading in issues on this game I got to stream it.Look, I love Rainbow Six Siege. I suck at it but I generally have fun, occasionally impress myself and there's plenty of playability with different operators and their abilities, maps and scenarios. The recent April Fools Map was hilarious.
The only issue I really have with Siege is the toxic people in the community. I'd love to see Ubisoft take more of a stand, including more moderation on usernames. The new team damage mechanic will be interesting though will suck in situations where you accidentally kill a teammate when they walk into your line of fire (or grenade).
Graphics: 9
Music/Sound: 7 - The sound of footsteps is really off for me but maybe that's just my hearing more than anything else

Would I play it again/keep playing it? Absolutely.
