I have played this game more than I care to admit, even though it says it above. A lot of fun, RNG can be a bit stupid hear and there but the different mods and different runs you can do are amazing ways to enhance that need to replay this monster.

SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years, the visuals are outstanding and the bullet time system is one of a kind! And the fact that anything that sticks out can be used as a weapon is a huge leap from most shooters. There's also a secret in every level, so if you find any way to get outside the main area or do parkour, don't hesitate to explore it! Just make sure you recommend this game to all your friends, and maybe even strangers!

PUBG still not closer to being optimized for my computer but through the magic of Chinese wizardry, I boot up this game and runs smoother than Charlie Sheen at a prom night! Do not belive the Malware rumors, they're just stiring fake news.
Gameplay feels smoother than PUBG as well, not to mention a bunch of quality of life features like a hitmarker sound so you know you're hitting something!
Not to mention, the escape heli, allowing pacifist (coward) runs to be more viable.
OCE and EU servers would be cool!

This Game is alright at best.

I'd recommend you play it if you enjoy this type of story driven short interactive movie.
The gameplay is based on you choosing what to say and then pressing random keys to make 'you' type what you chose.
The story looks expansive but it a little deciving in that regard.
*Spoiler* you guys break up anyway, no matter what you do.
I think it would've been nice if there were multiple endings but idea was passed clearly effectively.
The game is slightly shallow in total content, i have a snail running my broadband internet and it downloaded in a couple of seconds. nice little tidbits here and there, like the 'chapter screen' is the windows XP login screen, and the login sound effect is the AOL buddy login sound. Cute and Nostalgic.

In review, the game is short and sweet, slightly deciving replayabilty features like chooses that don't really effect anything except a few lines of dialogue that don't truely effect the main story, setting is unique and nostalgic but nothing to write home about. The game is a quirky little interactive movie, and it's free, and for curiosity's sake at least give a quick look.

Town of Salem is good fun! I have a fan for werewolf or mafia or whatever the heck you call it. For people that don’t know what werewolf/mafia/whatever, what it is that there are at least two people within a group of at least 7 people that’s goal is to kill everyone but they have to make sure they’re not too suspicious because during the day the people vote to ‘lynch’ a person and if both bad guys die the survivors win.
This is usually a card game but Town of Salem has mixed it up a little. They’ve added a bunch of roles that changes the game drastically. 33 roles that are possible in custom games but the basic game gives only a few of these roles. A sheriff, a doctor the Investigator, jailer, medium, Mafioso godfather, framer, executioner, escort, lookout, serial killer, random town with a killing role, Jester, and just a random town role.
Allow me to explain these roles for you.
Sherriff shows the exact role of any town member except for the Godfather, they leads the mafia.
The doctor can nurse people back to health if they get attacked that night. If they think they’re going to get attacked, they can heal themselves only once.
The investigator finds clues that suggests the role of a town member.
The Jailor hauls someone to jail, and anonymously interrogates that town member, they can choose to execute that character, but that would be very foolish.
The medium is a role that can talk to the dead, this can extremely useful but it is prone to being useless to the fact that most people will leave as soon as they die, leaving you in silence until your inevitable death. (That got dark).
Mafioso is the killer of the mafia, the Godfather orders to kill someone and they do it. The Framer plants evidence in someone’s house for that night, so if the investigator looks into them, they will appear to be a part of the mafia, all mafia members get to talk to each other at night.
Executioner, this role is a neutral but is bit evil. Their goal is to get their target to get ‘lynched’. If they die at night they become a jester.
The Jester, is scum beggary at its finest. Their role is to get themselves lynched at all cost, if they do, they can possess one town member to kill themselves.
Escort role is to distract people and role block them, making their role useless for that night.
Lookout, they watch someone’s house and see if anyone comes to their house in the night, this role is extremely useful if that character turns up dead the next day.
Serial Killer, talk about a spanner in the works, their goal is to kill everyone, they are immune to death at night and if they get hauled off to jail, they will kill the jailor.
The random town killing role roles can be any role under that category, they can be the Jailor, Veteran, Vigilante and Vampire Hunter.
Finally the Random town role is any town role, I’d list them all out but I’m too lazy.

You see how many roles each person has and that’s just basic game. This game is great fun, locked at 25 frames a second, which can be bad for some people but it never diminishes the effect of the game, in fact it is built for the experience more than the AAA feel. And it being only $4.99 I’d happily recommend it.

Just be warey of the people you encounter, there are people that skype with other people in the game basically throwing the game in their favor or just people that lack logic, which is me sometimes but I try. But still, great game.

APB Reloaded is terrible, everything is either incomplete or broken. Just like the movie After Earth the amount of advertising made the hype too large for them to handle, they managed to get Tobuscus and Seananners to be in their Live Action trailer, but unlike After Earth, you can’t watch it as a comedy, because even though M. Night. Shamadingdong movies are a joke within themselves, games have to be experienced, people have to do things to experience and in a movie you just watch it, in games you have to experience it for yourself.

Let’s start with the glaring issue. Either my crappy computer won’t run APB while recording to do a video review or that this game refuses to let me record on it, bear in mind I play games like Banished and DC Universe Online while recording on this computer so I dunno, but I’m leaning to APB. Also it has this fun habit of pulling my computer to a screeching halt to only throw me back into the action 5 seconds later 100 game metres ahead of my last non-lag location. Again this is not my computer, DC Universe functions just fine on this laptop, a game bigger and better than this game, so why does this game make me believe every time I try to drive a car, my computer is going to spontaneously combust?

Let’s talk about the driving, now this game is interesting. Most games run the driving controls through the same server, registering at the same time as you would be running right? NOPE! In fact the Driving mechanic is simulated on the servers, and the server controls where your vehicle is located, so when you try to turn the server has to calculate where you will be when you turn, and then it sends back the coordinates and the direction you will be facing. There's normally about a half second of delay but the instant response you get in EVERY OTHER GAME WITH CARS IN THEM EVER, Is really off putting, You’re not holding the key down to turn because who knows how long the turn will last, you end up tapping it really fast to be more accurate, that is not a good thing, because you have to calculate the speed you’re travelling the catch the turn or you’ll hit the wall.

The game back bone is lacking, the cars are broken beyond belief, what about the guns and the character customization. The APB Reloaded character creation screen is the best thing this game has to offer, it’s in depth and you can really show your individuality. This is implemented well, with your Personal Vehicles and Clothing, however you have to go to another server to do all these customization, in hindsight that was a wise thing to do, didn’t want players to be constantly spawn killing you while you’re customizing a symbol you put on your shirt or car. It’s smart but still frustrating when the loading screens are horrific. It only loads to a map where you choose to spawn which then takes you into another shorter loading screen. If you just look at the gameplay trailer announcing APB is going free to play, the graphic have drasicly changed from the video to the game.

This isn’t a new thing, for example Dark Souls 2 and Watch_Dogs but this isn’t the same game, worse graphics by only a bit, there is a massive UI overhaul, it was like someone downloaded a mod to the game server and decided to mess the UI up as if it was a rage quitter at a board game and smash the crap out of it, it’s a mess. It’s not user friendly at all. Now when I was younger and stupider, I posted videos on YouTube of me playing this game, and I will admit it has changed, they have added two more areas, basically the same two areas, Financial and Waterfront, but its PVP, so hopefully, more of these battles can happen, but I somehow doubt it.

APB Reloaded is a game, which is torture to play, for some reason people love it, they are all really high level players, they say the game is different when you get past this level, well they said the same about destiny, I’ll never find out if either are true, because of the same reason, while you’re in the small levels, you’re constantly screaming at your screen as all the people which are good at the game kill you in one hit. It’s a vicious cycle I don’t enjoy, that’s why I giving the symbolic rating of Grand Saint’s Crackdown type of game and numerical rating of 3/10. Also ever since I played this game my computer runs slower, I think this game is virus, I would be surprised from the legend known as EA, ‘it’s in the game’ huh? Or is it in the amount of money you can funnel from us? I guess we’ll never know.
