It seems like the typical open world checklist wandering game, but with cooler visuals and setting than the average. I mostly bought it right away to help push Sony to release more games on PC. There's other ones I want a lot more.

This won't really mean anything to you but it's pretty much the best "old formula" open world Ubisoft game out there. Before Ubisoft's formula improved and Assassins Creed went RPG.
Doesn't fare well against Odyssey or Valhalla but I'm hoping Forbidden West will be competitive with those two and take on the new formula.

The one thing HZD has going on for itself over typical open world time wasters is that the combat in it is actually pretty fun. There are a variety of different trapping tools, weapons and ammo types you want to use to exploit monster weaknesses, in addition to them having location damage with some breakable parts reducing their combat effectiveness. It's just a lot more involving than the typical time waster title. There's also a good amount of variety of different dino bots so you won't feel like you've seen everything that the combat has to offer within the first few hours. The higher the difficulty the more you'll have to plan your strikes against the dinos with the right tools, otherwise you'll just get wrecked fast. The game got blasted a lot for it's dull-cringe writing, which was deserved, but it unfortunately overshadowed how fun the actual combat ended up being.

Yes. If you like post-apoc, it's a must-play. It's nothing like Max Payne though. It's an action-RPG, and the game world is massive. I put almost 170 hours into it.
I've never played any of the BloodRayne games but these remastered versions seem to have the right idea, at the very least. Modern optimisations implemented with subtle graphical improvements while also retaining the original look as much as possible.
That's how it's supposed to be, in my opinion. So fair dues, I guess.

I've heard of positive things about Drakensang before but never played it (or any other game from the Dark Eye universe) myself. Well, at ~2.5 euros i have nothing more than ~2.5 euros to lose, so bought it. I'll probably try it after i finish my current ongoing games.

I remember playing it way back when I still sailed the high seas. Not that much fun to be honest. A bit better than Oblivion.

Yeah was bummed it's only the first. Owned these in weird DRM'd versions from some random place before, very happy to have this one on GOG finally.

It was an okay series, pretty much Dragon Age for straight people.

They are preparing the early release of Cyberpunk 2077 for PC with the Black Sale, causing massive amounts of butthurt among console peasants. Following traditional business practices, they will release it on Friday, taking the weekend off to avoid the butthurt tsunami.
