Just wanted something simple and fun to play on breaks at work, ended up playing it for over an hour! It's surprisingly fun. Nowhere near as good as Armageddon, but I'm enjoying going through the challenge levels.

Phenomenal! Really simple and entertaining game with a great difficulty build up and a really fun central loop. My only problem is that it's distracting me from work!!

Very fun, choo choo! Love all the little details they've put into different cities such as different kinds of train or bridges instead of tunnels.

Good lord this game is fun! It's very energetic and challenging despite the easy control scheme. It's such a fun and quick concept that worked out so well.

Absolutely NAILS that "deceptively simple" quality of puzzle games, great difficulty curve, I never felt frustrated with "cheap" puzzles. It's all really clever and well designed.

Mass Effect 2 has some weaknesses from it's predecessor. The thermal clip system is frustrating, I miss having a map to direct me around the areas, and the new scanning system is a little tedious and makes the galaxy feel smaller than it did in ME1. But in every other way it's a huge improvement. The powers and abilities have been significantly overhauled and simplified, making you progress faster and in more interesting ways. The plot is implemented into gameplay really well, giving you a sense of urgency you don't really expect in open-world RPGs and is written in a way that makes you want to complete quests in order to help out your party, rather than to just complete your codex. In almost every way an improvement over the last one.

It's great! Not perfect, the levelling system is intimidating and far from perfect. But the story's fantastic, feels like a bunch of old-school Star Trek episodes with the giant plants, evil robot harvesters and totally not the alien queen from alien. It's fun, it's engaging, the characters are interesting. It's definitely worth getting, if only so you can have a perfect run in the next two games.

It's ... very slow. And I'm never 100% sure what I'm doing. The difficulty curve is basically vertical and the story aspects that could keep me going are incredibly few and far between, sometimes feeling a little disconnected. This is a pity because aesthetically it's got a really good thing going for it.

Without a doubt the best Batman game ever made.

Fun, simple, but there's that one achievement ...
