As a Pokémon fan who had never played a MOBA, Unite was a gentle introduction into a new genre with a familiar look and feel. The premise of leveling up and scoring goals is simple yet understandable. The progression and strategy of movesets is satisfying. However, one major flaw stands out - pay to win elements completely ruin this game.

It's predatory enough that I can't explain it in simple terms. The use of three currency types intentionally hides how shady this is, but essentially expect to open your wallet in order to upgrade items or buy new characters after the first weeks missions have ended. As you play, you'll eventually hit a wall where teams with maxed out stats demolish you and there's nothing you can do. Also, an endgame 'boss' is completely unbalanced and whichever team gets it is practically guaranteed the win.

This was fun for a few hours, but expect to pay in order to rank up with other players, or use your favorite Pokémon. Disappointing.

Subnautica is a beautiful and immersive survival game with some well-implemented exploration and base-building mechanics that mean no two playthroughs are the same. Progression means constantly searching deeper to find new resources, to go further into the oceans depths and uncover the secret at the heart of this world.

On paper, this is a flawless game. However, I can't deny that bugs could take away from the experience (not that this happened to me), and that you WILL end up googling what you're supposed to be doing as it can be hard to tell. An unlockable, upgradeable map would really, really improve that issue, and push this game up to a 10/10 for me. Those gripes aside, this is one of the greatest games I've ever played, and I'd strongly recommend it.
