Good game, but not as great as the first two seasons. I enjoyed the play through and the story is overall good, but couldn't connect with some of the characters and found them a bit boring. Probably wouldn't play through this one again.

The art style is improved and more detailed however I kind of prefer the first 2 seasons art style personally.

Awesome story and an overall great game. On par with the first season.

Brilliant game.

Amazing story. If you like The Walking Dead, a great story and making choices in games that make big impacts, this game is for you.

Brilliant game and worth any penny. It's re-playable so can get quite a lot of hours out of it.

An old school Star Wars game with a harsh and gritty point of view from the clones perspective during the clone wars. This is a steal on sale.

Great game and just like how I remember it back on the original Xbox. A couple of small bugs but runs really well and solid gameplay. Hoping for a sequel one day!

Stellaris is a grand strategy game which has a bit of a learning curve, but in my opinion it is worth it. After a couple of play throughs you should understand how to play and can sink your teeth into the customizable civilisation types that will suit your play style. You can try to befriend your alien neighbours and form a federation and create defensive pacts, declare war on others and vasselize them, ascend your species, try to exterminate the galaxy - and so much more. The situations I have run into are like no other and have created an amazing experience with impressive stories.

You can sink many hours into this, even with just the base game. There are just so many play styles you can try and no two runs of Stellaris will turn out the same. There are so many government types, origins and alien types to choose from that will make each run unique. You can tweak the settings to your liking to make it easier, more challenging, AI scaling, etc.

There's plenty of (paid) DLCs available for more customisation and options or if you're looking to spice up game play as well. The developers are in touch with the community and actively making changes and adding features.

This game is on sale quite often so definitely wait for a sale if you're planning to buy.

This is one of the most fun games I have played in a while. It's a survival open world game with dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. At this moment in time there are quite a lot of creatures in the game, almost every single one of them is tameable (they will follow you around and fight for you), and a lot of them are rideable. You can attach a saddle onto them and ride them around.

You're also able to harvest resources from the world to build bases. As you level up by doing almost anything, ( harvesting resources, killing stuff, taming creatures) you will unlock points to spend on items and base parts to build. There are too many items to unlock for one person to unlock them all, so in order to experience every item and base parts you will need to play with other people (this will be later in the game when you reach the higher levels).

Something I should also mention is that PvP and PvE are the main types of servers for this game. In PvP servers you are able to destroy others people's bases, kill their dinos, steal their stuff etc. Some people find this frustrating because when you log off the game your character is "unconscious", and therefore vulnerable to these type of things. If you don't like that style of gameplay, PvE servers don't allow you to damage other players, their dinosaurs and buildings. This allows you to (almost, since wild creatures can still attack you) safely log off.

Pros:
+ A lot of content for the state that the game is in at the moment. There will be a lot more content when the game is finished.
+ The devs are very interactive, patch the game a lot and are constantly teasing new content.
+ The experiences you will have in this game are very unique. I've seen a naked man attempt to fight two brontosauruses, only to fail and sprint away as they chase him. You won't see stuff like that anywhere else.
+ Awesome base building mechanic.
+ Loads of items to craft.
+ If you're a fan of dinosaurs, dinosaurs!

Cons:
- The performance is very bad right now. I can run most games on high quality settings, but this game I can just about run on low settings with multiple FPS fixes. (I have no doubt the devs will work on this!)
- Some game mechanics need fixing, creature AI, a few bugs here and there etc.

This review was written at the time of patch 177.1. I'm really looking forward to the future of this game! I will update it in the future if my review becomes outdated!

I haven't played the first game completely (only the demo), but it made me want to buy this game when it was available in a Humble Bundle.

What I liked:
* The environments were really good, some things like walls, boxes, signs etc. are destructible which makes it a lot more fun
* The graphics are decent for when it came out
* The script/story is decent - definitely wanted me to keep playing
* Awesome guns - later in the game you'll be facing harder enemies who drop better weapons
* Explosive canisters - you can throw them and they act as shootable grenades

What I disliked:
* I completed the campaign in about 4 hours (on the easy difficulty), which is quite short
* The ending of the campaign left me staring at the credits thinking "was that it?" Don't get me wrong, I'd love to know what happens next, just a strange cliffhanger. Not sure where they would take it if they made a 3rd game
* The shaking of the camera when you are sprinting is ridiculous - this is probably the most frustrating thing in the game
* Not really the games fault, but the multiplayer is pretty much dead. If you want the achievements you are going to need some friends to play this with
* Some things are censored in the game - I can understand the naked parts but why is it censored when I shoot someone in the head?

Overall I thought the game was good. It has it's postives and negatives, but I had a pleasant experience. The game is not as terrible as some people make it out to be. I don't think I would buy the game full price but if it was on sale or in a bundle, it's worth it.

I love this game. I had this game on the Xbox 360, but loved it so much I also got it for the PC. The DLC is also worth getting.

This game is amazing.
