Wow, this game. I will not play the multiplayer (fk EA), so my comments are all on the single-player campaign. The story is amazing. It made me feel things that I didn't know I could feel, for a machine. The story is well written, the levels are well designed. As with many first-person shooters, the controls will need to be remapped to your liking. The default will have your hands all over the keyboard.

music - 9/10
visuals - 10/10
gameplay - 10/10
controls - 8.5/10 (needs remapping)
story - 10/10 (I didn't know I could feel so much for a machine)

Overall I give this a 9.5/10. This is a single-player masterpiece. The game is quite short, can be beaten in about 6 hours on regular, but absolutely worth it.

This game is wonderful and amazing! This is an RPG that gets as close as possible to a DND tabletop. There are so many interactions with skills, objects and people that you really have to think about engagements. The story is wonderfully written and the side characters and events are just downright entertaining. Controls are good, but I often found myself clicking on either the wrong terrain or wrong enemy in my haste. I think this is more of a user issue, but would almost always lead to party wipes. One note on story ... I can't say I know it to the full extent. I have made multiple characters and therefore have yet to finish as of writing this review. The stuff I have seen though, marvellous. While I usually purchase things on sale, I would purchase this game full price and consider anything sale to be a bonus.

Overall I give this a 9/10. I will be making many more characters to journey through the world.

music - 10/10 - just fantastic, love the music for fall and winter
visuals - 9.5/10 - only concern is that some of the fish looked so similar to me
gameplay - 9/10 - very fun
controls - 9/10 - very easy, occasionally using a tool left-to-right caused frustration
story - N/A

There is a story, but it's really not relevant to the gameplay. You inherit a farm and you have to make your grandfather proud. That's it. You plant all sorts of crops, differeing per season. You have animals that can range from cows to chieckes to dinos! You grow trees. You fish in streams and oceans. You mine for ores and gems. You craft tools and storage units for ease of your life. There are hidden secrets all thorughout the game. You make friends, you have significant others, you have kids, you divorce your partner. You can play multiplayer, but I have not.

You are given a plot of land and you do whatever you want with it. You control where the buildings go (aside from your starter home). You control how you organize your crops or place your livestock.

Overall I give this a 9.4/10. Each day takes about 15 minutes to omplete so it's really easy to load it up and play a day or two. The game is worth it at full proice, but a complete steal on sale. Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy.

music - 9/10 - ambient
visuals - 9/10 - visuals were clean and non-invasive to the story
gameplay - 9/10 - very fun
controls - 9/10 - mostly alright, it's point and click, some clicking errors (overlapping boxes)
story - 10/10 - nicely done, capturing

The story is short, but I found myself interested in reaching the end the entire time. I felt dirty and invasive, combing through people's lives in an attempt to ...spoilers. The plot is such: there is a threat to security and it is your job to find out who perpetrated the action and to stop them. You comb through newspapers and social media to discover links between people and actions. You listen in on their phone calls and you read their texts/emails to catch them using the wrong words. Just like people though, there are lies being told between people and it's your job to clean up any existing data conflicts. Now that I know the story, I'm unsure of replayability at this time. The first go through was completely worth it for an afternoon of fun. Unless there is something I'm missing, I concluded my investigation in just over 3 hours. Honestly my biggest complaint was the speed at which the people texted or spoke on the phone. I found it to be slow. You can change the speed of these messages though in the settings. I would caution against changing this too much though. Towards the end of the game, the speed is a bit too quick to keep up. I did not like this as it felt like rushing through conversations and I was unable to peruse at my own pace.

I do recommend this game, but really only if it's on sale. It is quite short.

Overall I give this a 9.2/10. I will most likely be playing it again, especially to see about getting the rest of the achievements.

Seems fun so far and scratches my Diablo-style itch .... without the need to use my phone.

I have not been playing for very long, but I really enjoy this game. The music is wonderful. The interface is clean. Nothing on the screen except the 9 digits and the background (ie no clutter). I'm not too sure if I can sit to play this game for hours on end, but it most certainly is a game that will fill waitings. Have 5-10 minutes to spare? Load this up. The game is such a simple concept. Add numbers together to ensure the left side equals the right side. Fear not if you are not wonderfully gifted in arithmetic, you can play this game using pattern recognition as well (assuming you can add numbers together less than 10). As of wrtiting this, there appear to be 250 levels to play in various categories (such as using numbers 1-30, using numbers 1-50, using 1-99, prime numbers, multiples of 3, etc). There is also a random mode in which you specify the lower bound and upper bound.

Overall I give this a 8.5/10. I will most likely be playing it in short increments for a while to come.

This game is essentially a Diablo 2 meets the original Zelda, except not as enjoyable as either. The music is really fitting and catchy, but really repetative. It's very fast paced and is indeed challenging, which may or not be a good thing. My first problem with it was that you are locked into the "wasd" configuration for movement. I checked all the options and even looked for files I could alter to change it. I myself am a "qwes" kind of guy. I can play with alterred controls, it's not a deal breaker, just a mild inconvinenence. My main problem is that the screen is entirely too cluttered. There are tonnes of projectiles and it's near impossible to dodge everything without running into other things. You can save NPC's which do assist you, but end up cluttering the screen further. ne of these NPC's is apparenrtly a Necromancer, and their summons look identical to enemies. Due to the clutter and constant streams of enemies, when an item drops, there is little to no time to compare stats on whether or not it is an improvement. The improvement is colour coded to show increase or decrease, but there is almost never a time nor visual window to think about it (until you kill everyting). I did enjoy the randomness of the map everytime I started again, that was enjoyable. Also the permanant death thing adds to the enjoyment, everyone should love a hardcore mode of sorts.

Overall I give this a 4.5/10. I'll probably play it for a few more hours, but won't return.

At first the music annoyed me slightly, but after playing this game I've since found it agrees with the game. This game made me chuckle several times with the one-liners. It's a good game to play in between doing other "real life" tasks.

9/10, will play all classes

This game is literally the most fun I have had playing a game in a long while. The character design was nice, but I created my character with breasts taht were too big (that's right, you read that right). I'm only a couple hours in, but I'm really liking the gameplay. It reminds me of something akin to a GTA crossed with Infamous. The powers do not feel OP at all, mostly I have acquired utility powers (jumping, speed, etc). The guns feel nice, primarily an smg fan. I used the probing gun. Stick it right up the enemy's posterior, then sent him flying like a rocket.

There are many shops around the land. I was able to get a breast reduction for $500, and now I look normal. you can basically recreate your character at a surgeon (all the fields are avalable as they were at character creation). There are stores for clothing, weapon upgrades. There is also a mechanic type store that will permit you to supe up your rides. You can save your rides so that you can get them from the shop anytime you lose it or destroy it.

11/10, will keep playing.

The game is fun. Each level takes only a couple of minutes, so if you need something to kill a short amount of time, go here. The puzzles require timing and planning ahead.

Levels require different objectives to earn three stars (least fuel used, least heat damage taken, timed, etc). You can slingshot around planets. You need to gather plasma to either bump up the star's energy, or lower it.

I'd recommend it, 8/10, would acquire again.
