The story is very deep, philosophical and interesting. The world is very rich filled with many kinds of characters, technologies, cars, weapons, factions, music, locations.

Bugs? I have encountered a few like floating cars, objects glitching/moving on their own because of wobbly physics. The only game breaking bug I found was when I used the phone in a elevator going down, fell out of the elevator and got stuck in the elevator shaft. Another major bug I found when I couldn't call (summon) my car but reloading from a save fixed it.

The price tag is okay for what it has. There's a ton of narration in this game done really well by professional voice actors. There's a lot of music variety, sci-fi atmosphere and a lot of references to cyberpunk movies like ghost in the shell, blade runner, judge dredd. Cyberpunk 2077 portrays the cyberpunk world really well and the most interesting thing is that there's a lot of mystery surrounding corporations and certain characters. The main story alone is the most valuable thing about this game which is worth every penny to experience it and I would also recommend the DLC as well.

Masterpiece with bugs? Yes, every game has its own flaws or bugs and imperfection makes it human. A perfect cyberpunk game with no flaws would have been "generated" with AI.

Other:
This game will always remind me of me playing it in winter 2024 while my cat was still alive and I had a lot of fun playing it, completed every quest, finished the DLC and enjoyed the story. I lost my cat on the 20th and haven't played cyberpunk since. I avoided touching this game because of the date.

Not as good like the first Subnautica because it is too linear and the biggest thing I didn't like is that some of the component blueprints and upgrades are way too hidden, takes too long to find them. Even some of the mission objectives are too hidden and it isn't always obvious in which direction you have to go. I had to look up some walkthrough because there were no hints and all the mission objectives are in very specific places. It is also pointless to build multiple bases.
The surface area wasn't very well thought out because I used a mech and it was meant to be explored on foot in freezing temperatures.

This game should have been a free DLC expansion to Subnautica.
You will spend most of your time just searching and looking for hidden objects and locations and that's most of the 20-30 hour gameplay if you go in blind. This search interruption ruins the flow of the story and the cure is just a hidden side objective which is very easily missable.

I do not recommend this game for those who are new to source games. This one is only for those who are familiar with Source Engine games. There are a lot of physics based puzzles, some of them are number based which can be very frustrating to some or can take a while to solve them. Those puzzles with numbers are like the equivalent of cracking the code to a safe and it is mandatory to solve them in order to progress forward.

-The levels are very detailed with a lot of custom made assets. The underground, tunnels, laboratories & industrial sections are very immersive, realistic. In the later chapters of the game there are old soviet apartments which are also very detailed and realistic. The level design in this game is very good.
-There are a lot of custom weapons which are quite fun to use.
-In the later chapter of the game there is a snow mobile vehicle.
-The soundtrack is also very good.
-The game is about 6 hours long with multiple endings.

-The voice acting is bad and there are even 3rd person scenes.
-The story is not really that good.
-The middle section of the game is very strange, out of place while I understand what they tried to do, I feel like it was executed poorly. (it's kinda like an adventure map straight out of gmod)

-This game doesn't hold your hand which means you are on your own to figure out everything and where you have to go.
-The puzzles with numbers take a long time to solve. I did not have a problem with the puzzles, I figured out all of them with time. However there was a section in the middle chapter where I got stuck and had to look up a walk through video and it wasn't even a puzzle. (I had to turn on the gas stove and take the gas canister from the hall, put it on the stove to clear the cobweb which wasn't obvious, I spent an eternity there trying to light other objects on fire)

The mod is very short and based on the store's screenshots it looked very promising but it turned out to be very empty, silent and kinda badly made with good quality looking levels.

The Good:
-The Hev suit and the HUD.
-The Black ops and army units
-The original custom made models

The Bad:
-The shotgun sounds bad and also plays bad, they completely nerfed the shotgun. What was wrong with Half-Life 2's shotgun that they needed to change this?
-Friendly NPC's are silent, don't talk and this breaks the whole immersion.
-The intro with the apartment. This felt very out of place, not "half-life-y" at all. It looked very good and creative but a waste of resources.
-The xen scene with the vortigaunts. This was just a copied attempt of Half-Life 1, nothing original.
-Too much clutter in some levels and also not exactly clear what door opens and what doesn't open or what button can be pressed or cannot be pressed. Some levels have way too much brightness.
-Too much is clipped off. There are a ton of invisible brushes, invisible walls. I prefer to bump into the walls and geometry. This is not a competitive multiplayer shooter so why so much player collision clippers?
-No Steam Achievements.

Still early access? Beta? At this point the devs most likely moved on with their lives and this mod has become abandonware. Not worth it unless you are bored and wanna play for an hour.

It's like Portal 2 but slightly worse, not quite that good in terms of gameplay and quality.
The voice acting and narration was good.
The levels were mixed, some good, some bad. On some I struggled because I couldn't see the way I was supposed to go because of clutter, distractions, no hints or indicators. On others I went through easily. On a few levels I used some prop exploits to get around. On one level I went out of bounds where I wasn't supposed to be, that level wasn't clipped off properly.
What I didn't like is that some levels were filled with too much clutter.
There were a lot of old & new aperture props in areas where it didn't really fit so well.
The ending wasn't put together well because the credits rolled in when that final scene was supposed to be shown first.

The mod is okay but based on the experience I had I wouldn't play though this again.
The easy puzzles were fun but the ones were I struggled or got stuck wasn't fun at all, it was frustrating.

I would highly recommend it if you are a hardcore portal fan who is hungry for portal mods with medium difficulty. Depending on how skilled you are, you may go through easily or have struggles, get stuck on some puzzles.

Turbo Overkill is secretly a triple A game with its own original story set in a cyberpunk world which contains:
-A lot of level variety from small to large levels. Each level took about 20-30 minutes to complete with the exception of boss fights. It took 16 hours to complete the whole game which is split into 3 episodes.
-Awesome soundtrack for each level with their own theme. (Cyberpunk themed music with rock, electronic, tech/synth beats)
-Vehicle based levels where you get to drive a flying car, hover bike and a mech!
-Fluid parkour movement with augments that lets you customize how you play. (slide, wall running, double/triple jumping, grappling hook, air strafing)
-A lot of enemy variety and hard, challenging boss fights. (You will feel real adrenaline during the fights)
-It has reply value because of steam achievements and hidden collectibles to collect through out each level.
-It runs well even on older computers since it has an unique pixel graphical style

The only bad things about this game are:
-found some minor bugs where texture fighting was going on
-there are way too many enemies which can be quite overwhelming, especially the weak mobs placed on every single platform and area that you gonna step on. You also gonna have to fight the exact same type of enemies which are hard to kill and be like "oh no! not these guys again >_>"
-the shotguns do not feel powerful compared to other games.
-on some levels and areas you can get out of bounds.
edit* -endless mode is bugged at wave 17 with an unkillable kite enemy.

If you played and liked games liked Dusk, Doom Eternal, Bioshock Infinite, Halo 4 then you will like this one too. It has many similarities to these games and it feels like playing all of them as one! It is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it if you want to experience being THE BADASS CYBERNETIC CHAINSAW MAN

This game is not worth 20 euro. It has a few good campaigns but too short. Very few civilizations with balance issues and broken/cheating A.I. Upcoming DLC will be 15 euro... I'm not paying for new civs that SHOULD BE in the base game.

Broken A.I? They all seem to play the same way, spamming lumber camps and mining camps right next to each other everywhere. I also don't like that units die extremely fast.

Not worth buying unless it is heavily discounted under 10 euro.

This is the closest we ever gonna get to Half-Life 2 Episode 3
The mod has its own original story that fits very well in the Half-Life/Portal Universe.
It has its own unique enemies & weapons with a special spin on them.
The narration is very well done and there's a ton of dialogue to listen throughout the whole game.
There's a lot of level variety, some bigger open levels could use a little more detailing, smoothing out the rough terrain edges then it would be perfect. It took about 7 hours to play though the whole campaign.
Overall it is a great high quality mod that is absolutely worth playing if you enjoyed playing through all Half-Life 2 and Portal games.

*Edit: It is still the best mod ever made even in 2023, I replied the whole game twice just to get the remaining achievements. I also finished all challenge levels which was quite fun.
This is a high quality mod made with passion.

Dusk is like Doom + Half-Life 1's fast-paced mechanics
-There's a lot of level variety from creepy to random to weird and insane (some levels in the later chapters will be confusing but they are meant to be like that)
-A lot of enemy variety and boss fights
-Really good metal soundtrack
-Secrets, secrets and even more secrets! Every level has a secret room with hidden weapons and loot

Overall Dusk is a great retro game and we need more games like this that are fast-paced and fun to play through a large variety of levels while badass music is playing in the background while slaying enemies.

The Good
-The vehicle missions
-You get to play as different units through flashbacks

The Bad
-The narration, how the ODST team speaks to each other, it feels like they are high school teens instead of grown up adults in a serious deadly mission.
-You play as a rookie in a semi-open world map in a abandoned city set during the night and each mission is just a flashback and you have to walk long distances in a silent empty lock down city to find objects to investigate to play through those flashback missions. This whole section is very empty, silent and boring. There are barely a few enemies.

Overall Halo 3 ODST is an average Halo game, there are a few good missions but most of the levels are repetitive, copy-pasted sections, slow and boring. You can skip this one.
