If you are a fan of hidden object games, this one is an absolute treat. The game features three hand-drawn scenes with nothing feeling out of place. Item placement is clever and the scenes are fll of character. This sets the game apart from the other hidden object games on Steam where the cats stand out like a sore thumb. Seeing the scenes slowly coming to live makes for a great zero stress experience.

One minor point complaint is that the Aruba level feels a bit disconnected from the rest of the game. It is not a bad scene by any means, just a little peculiar compared to the other scenes. Still, a great experience overall.

Who knew a microwave could be the center of a gaming experience. The controls are surprisingly intuitive; you set the timer to walk forward and adjust the power to turn the in-game direction. The gameplay itself is short but sweet. It doesn't overstay its welcome. If you are looking for a fun 15 minute break you should try it.

I tried the Total Reload demo for about an hour, and I found it to be an interesting experience overall. The gameplay mechanics have potential, however, the environments could use some polish to make the game look more engaging. It's definitely a demo, so there's room for improvement, but this could turn into a solid puzzlw game.

Super addictive game. Devs keep updating the game with new content. Even two years after release. Can't stop blowing leaves! Dopamine hit guaranteed.

Very relaxing game. Devs genuinly listen to the community and add new content/updates regulary. Still going strong after more than a year after release.

Arkham Origins is a great game that doesn't deserve the flak it receives from most reviewers. Arkham Origins takes the gameplay mechanics from Arkham City - the responsive freeflow fighting mechanic demonstrating just how badass Batman is and the tightly coordinated predator rooms that allow multiple approaches - and combines it with a great storyline. If you enjoyed Arkham City, you'll enjoy this game.

The gameplay isn’t much different from Arkham City. You’ll have some new/replaced items, some new enemy types are introduced, the city has been expanded and they added a new detective mini-game. Ultimately, these are only minor changes from the solid base that Arkham City created. The game doesn’t offer the revolutionary changes that Arkham City did compared to Arkham Asylum, but rather expands on it.

The story features both well-known (Joker, Penguin, Bane) as lesser-known characters (Firefly, Shiva, Deadshot). Not every character is part of the main story, so it is advised to try and play the Most Wanted side missions for the full experience. The well-crafted Mad Hatter stage deserves a playthrough.

At the time of writing, it appears WB patched most of the bugs. During my three playthroughs (new game, new game+ and I am the night mode, 100%, roughly 70 hours), as well as during the Cold Cold Heart DLC, I experienced only a single non-game breaking bug. This is coming from an inherently more bug-prone Crossfire system. You’ll see most negative reviews because of bugs are pre January 2014.

Traditional rating: 8/10

The 400 Days expansion falls flat compared to its the main campaign. Each character story arc takes around 15 minutes, which effectively means you have no time to bond with the characters. This in turn means that choices made in the expansion have less meaning. It's a fair try by Telltale to shake up the franchise, but ultimately fails to meet expectations.

Game of the year material. 160+ hours of gameplay and still a lot more to explore.

Definitely on my top 5 of games bought in 2011. The game has a solid single player campaign that will keep you occupied for atleast 25 hours if you want to 5 skull (high rank) everything.
