My blood pressure hits an all time high when I've driving towards the exit and those balls make my car freak out. Great game.

Walking around in a single level for an hour trying to find hidden rooms for secrets/rewards, incredible.
Smashing every single object I see because upgrading my weapons makes my brain tingle.

Just as good as when I played it back on the PS4 when it first came out but with some of the nice enhancements of being on PC.

Made it through the beginner campaign and I was thoroughly impressed with how my characters developed. With every choice my characters actually changed, such as my mage being overtaken by crystal growths that increased damage but made her more fragile/slower. It is great player driven story game designed to look like a storybook. Fantastic.

I've been playing Halo since the summer of 2005. My best friend at the time and I would spend days at a time playing Halo: CE split-screen trying to find skulls, killing each other and generally having a great time. After that summer ended I asked my parents for my own Xbox to play Halo. That Christmas I got my very own Xbox 360 and Halo 2.

Even after I got a PC in 2013 I continued to get the next Xbox to play Halo until Halo 4's disappointing multiplayer and Halo 5's abysmal story. I have no heartwarming story of reuniting with my high school friends to play Halo again but this collection brought back some good memories.

One of the only turn-based strategy games I play and I really enjoy it.

Fun with friends.

The soundtrack makes you sweat blood while you pulverize your enemies..

Despite what most of the reviews for this game are saying I am not experiencing the same problems even at high-ultra settings. No stutters, atrifacting, FPS drops (below 50), input lag, etc. I thought it might be because I've running a pretty good PC but I've seen reviews where people have just as good or better stuff trying to run this game and it's not working properly.

Other than that the game looks beautiful and the story so far is written pretty well. Emily's powers set her apart from Corvo so running two playthroughs for each character won't feel redundant. I also like the fact that there is an option to go through the game with no powers for those hardcore players out there. I don't think that was in the previous game but I might be wrong. It's the game I've been waiting for ever since finishing up the first one. If you are looking for a stealth game that gives you a lot of options when approaching and killing your targets with loads of abilities, routes and tactics then this is your game.

I hope the game gets fixed for those out there having performance issues.

Well, my review was more of a joke before, a disgruntled customer who loves Magic and has been disappointed with the last two installments. After "trying" to play this damn game for anything length of time I've finally had it.

Magic 2013 and 2014 both had their minor flaws here and there. Nothing that could break the game or ruin the fun for too long. At least nothing that happened to me. Then Magic 2015 came out and everyone was so jolly! Finally we could build and play with custom decks. How all of our prayers were answered but of course we had to pay a price. Equivalent exchange I guess, they give us what we have asked for and then rip away something else we love. With that fiasco still fresh in my mind I saw this new and exciting Magic game come out. Everything sounded too good to be true! 2HG? Custom decks? Completely free to play? What was this sweet mother of magic games doing here? To say the least I was suspicious but I downloaded it anyway and while I did I started reading the reviews.

Nothing too awful at the time besides the server going down and not being able to play online. It has happened to a lot of freshly launched games before. I wasn't deterred. That was before I got into the meat of the game. The server has gone down for a day and even if it is up who knows if you'll stay connected. 2HG? Great! If you could get through the endless error messages and disconnects. Not to mention 2HG gives you nothing when you win. No coins or cards. Zero. That is what the story and solo duels are for. Story mode isn't actually that bad. All the duels are relatively fair and fun except for a couple. You are even rewarded with a decent amount of coins but then the solo duels... eight victories for every booster (minus the quests). That is less than one card per victory. At least Magic 2015 game you a booster per win. I know it is free to play and they need to make money somehow but c'mon.

All of this is only possible if you can even get into the game itself! Sometimes when you open the game the screen will go black and you will not be able to close it at all. I've tried Alt+F4, Ctrl+Alt+Del and even using the taskkill command from the command prompt. The only thing that has worked is signing out so it force quits everything. I just want a Magic game that is fun to play. Is that too hard?
