Incredibly fun game with friends! We're having a really fun and chill time playing through our first campaign. Recommended if you enjoy turn based combat, working with 1 or 2 others, and leveling up your character.

A beautiful and addicting strategy/city-builder that's both peaceful, challenging, and rewarding. I am enjoying my time building up my medieval towns more than most other games in its genre. I love the military mechanics and the multiple game modes to suit your style of play (peaceful, raids, conquest). I love the first-person view to walk around your town, and I just love the graphics! This game is so well done!

Manor Lords is in early access, so yes, there are lots of features being still implemented or improved, the biggest two in my eyes are updating/upgrading the trade mechanics as it is limited and there are some bugs but it is good so far otherwise. And second, maybe making warfare bigger (if the user wants it), however, I haven't tried the raid mode so maybe that would satisfy my need for more war. I would like though to see the opponent build up a town themselves in their own region, where currently occupied regions of the Baron are just empty.

This game is incredible! While I never played the original, I have always been a huge fan of Stronghold Crusader and moderately a fan of the other Stronghold entries. It's the most like Crusader, and I mean this as a huge positive, both games have similar/same animations, characters, units, and music. The feel this game, and Crusader, capture is unlike any other game in the genre. You do not get games with this much charm, unique and smooth gameplay, or music as good as this. This is Stronghold done right! I love the updated graphics and how smooth this game runs!

I am hoping the positive reviews and success of this definitive edition show Firefly that Crusader would be just as much, if not more of a success! I also hope it highlights how much Stronghold 1 and Crusader features are valued while they create their next big Stronghold title.

I do have some complaints:
1. No Skirmish mode - The original also did not have this mode, but this mode is arguably the mode that keeps players playing the longest and allows more replay ability, especially for those who don't like playing against real players online.
2. No AI in multiplayer - There is no option to face AI in a multiplayer match, only real players. This just stopped at least 2 people I know from buying the game. I wonder how many others? As I mentioned above, there are players who do not like playing against real players, and having AI in multiplayer would have allowed the game to reach a larger audience and as well add more replay ability.

I love this game, I can't wait to complete the campaign and all the addicting challenges Stronghold is so good at, but coming from Crusader, which had skirmish and the option for AI in multiplayer matches, I felt disappointed that I will inevitably complete this game and have little reason to return once I finish the missions. Whereas if it had those features, I'd play this for years with my sister. I am hoping they update to add one or both of these features, but I do not have my hopes too high.

All in all, it's a great and true remaster of Stronghold 1. If you're a fan of the original and/or Crusader, pick this up and play! Show the developers your support for this incredible gem of a game.

This game is Sonic Adventure 2. It is an incredible game with a captivating story, a variety of characters to play as, and of course the beloved Chao Garden. If you're a Sonic fan and never tried an Adventure game, definitely give it a shot! Both SA1 and SA2 have incredible features unique from the rest of the franchise.

There are a few minor (*and fixable*) issues with the PC version of the game. It may take some time to play around with the video settings (such as resolution and capping the frame rate), but there are tutorials online if you're stuck.

There are great mods for this game out there on a website called gamebanana. Mods that improve the graphics quality, add new features, and there's even a 2 player chao garden mod that is out there. There are also lots of instructions available for how to safely and successfully download those mods.

The most exciting part (and the reason I purchased SA2 on Steam in the first place) is the awesome potential of the Chao Garden! With the Chao World Extended mod, there are so many more features added to the Chao Garden to make it infinitely replayable. More colour options when breeding, more interactions between chao's, more items in the black market, and so on.

If you have SA2 on your GameCube or Dreamcast, I'd still recommend buying it on Steam, especially if you're a fan of Chao Garden.

If you love Chao Garden like I do, or you just want to be hit with a wave of nostalgia, check out my Chao Garden series here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m19jhZHTxpY&list=PLxhZU9ySDqpJQbI_H1hWz5_n48OCVu6_K&index=1

Happy gaming!

It's Mw2, of course it's good! WARNING!!!!: I'm just leaving this review to warn you of the hackers in the steam lobby gaining access to your PC and private information! Do NOT play in Steam multiplayer! Download a 3rd parrty program called Xlabs or Plutonium for ALL your older CoD's that you play on PC!

Campaign and Spec Ops with a friend works perfect with no risks!
Multiplayer works fine, but you run the risk of being hacked.

One of the best city builder/strategy games I have ever played. It's not perfect, but it is in early access and content is being worked on as we speak. It has everything you want from the city building components of Banished, to the territory expansion and open-world over-world of the Civilization series. What I like about Kingdoms Reborn over Civilization is that you can customize each city personally and up-close, which in Civilization, I was left always wanting more customization options and wanting to really see the liveliness of my cities.

The combat is still very new in Kingdoms Reborn and may eventually change, but I don't dislike it currently. It reminds me of Europa Universalis or Tropico in the way your units fight against the opposing units in a simulation, where number of troops and which kind of troops matter, whereas it is unalike Total War, where you fend off a much larger enemy using tactics and moving each unit around a battlefield.

What I like most about this game is that it feels like such a great balance of "I'm feeling relaxed and enjoying myself here with minimal stress" and "this game is challenging and I need to learn how to improve."

After entering a map seed and creating a randomly generated map, you can pick where your starting city is and you can choose to be as far or as close to other cities as you like. Start far and just peacefully build your city, or maybe build close and try annexing territory from other players or forcing them to be your vassal. Maybe if you start far at first, build your second city a bit closer to the action. Up to you!

There are luxury goods, not much different than in the Civilization games. Where certain tiles, or territories, have a special item (i.e. Dye, Cocoa, Gemstones, Grapes, etc.) to harvest. These items, once your citizens have them within their households, it boosts their happiness and helps you advance further down the tech tree.

I highly recommend this game. I love what it is so far, I love where it's going. I'm having a blast playing multiplayer with my siblings and girlfriend. I've spent some time in single player trying out the Emirates faction. I'm so excited to see what's next, and in the mean time, I'm enjoying my time with Kingdoms Reborn immensely.

Splitgate is a great game. It's fast-paced, exciting, challenging, rewarding, and unique. It has a growing competitive scene as well, which is separate from casual play. Splitgate is also free! If you're a fan of FPS games, you might as well give this game a go! It could be your new favourite!

Very fun game that deserves recognition. It's as if a dungeon master for DnD decided to make Mount & Blade.

If you've played M&B, you'll find the map and party system familiar. There's companions and your army (which can level up, unlock new skills, etc.), there's towns you can take over, etc. The battling in this game does not go into as depth as M&B. However, M&B definitely lacks the creativity and deep story that Sands of Zalzaar does offer. That's where it reminded me sort of like DnD. It has rich story elements, different character races (which learn different spells and abilities), and it's dialogue is as if it was written by a creative DM (one with great flow and who is easy to understand!)

Highly recommend this game, it's one of those games that I think really deserves to be played. It's got that charm and it has that depth.

Nexomon: Extinction may at first seem like yet another *sigh* Pokemon spin-off. BUT, after playing it for quite some time, it is so much more than that!
I still have so much left to complete - and I'm so eager to continue the story - but I really wanted to review this game because it really deserves more recognition.

You start in a world that at first feels like an old-school Pokemon game. It even has that challenge that newer Pokemon games lack! But, as the plot picks up - and it does so very quickly - you soon realize that Nexomon has a lot more to offer than you'd expect. I won't leave any spoilers, but the adventure and characters are really fun! You can see for yourself that the art style is great, but there's so much more to appreciate in the game as well!

There are 381 different Nexomon to tame (catch). There are unique types, moves, and evolutions to each Nexomon, much like in Pokemon. The designs of the Nexomon are actually, for the most part, very interesting. Some great cool and cute ones to match different trainer's preferences!

For those shiny hunters out there, you're in luck!! There are such things as shiny's in Nexomon, but they call them cosmics! I still haven't found one, but my sister's first wild encounter was a cosmic!! (Still so jealous btw, if you're reading this!)

I know I keep comparing it to Pokemon, but I can't help it. I'm a huge Pokemon fan, it's what I know!! But, I enjoy this game so much on its own. I've grown up playing Pokemon, learning all the things that go on in that universe. But as I jump into the Nexomon universe for the first time, it feels fun, fresh, and exciting!! It is definitely worth playing and trying out! It has a growing fan-base for a reason!

I've already sunk 12 hours into the story and just going around the grass looking for new Nexomon! Also, there's a ton of side quests to gain some extra coin or cool items! I plan to attempt to 100% the game, or at very least catch all the Nexomon! I currently only have around 60 lol!

Do yourself a favour, and get this game!

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the first in the series that I have played, so this review is not coming from a long time Assassin's Creed fan. It's coming from someone who found the time period, the graphics, scenery, gameplay, story, and the combat to be really fun and rewarding.

I've taken some breaks from the game and came back to enjoy it just as much each time. I'm a fan of the side quests, main story line, as well as just exploring the vast world! Sailing from one island to the next in my ship, or riding my horse across the countryside from one city to the next is something pretty breath taking, fun but also often times relaxing.

I recommend this game for anyone who enjoys an RPG every once and a while, is a fan of Ancient Greek history, or just wants a beautiful and captivating game to play.
