An excellent game, probably with the most detailed story in anything I've ever played.

A great platform puzzle game. Wonderful art style, and intersting in that there are never any text or button prompts on the screen at all, outside of the menus. Recommended.

An absolutely phenomenal game. It's hard to find anything wrong with it. A great story, a beautiful art style, wonderful acting, and varied and interesting gameplay. Highly recommended for anyone into story based games, especially those who liked Gone Home.

Phenomenally good. Everything I wanted out of another Arkham game. A more cohesive story, a huge and detailed city, high production values, excellent gameplay, and heaps of the fantastic psychological thriller elements.

Few too many tank battles and... game crashes. But overall, great.

A really great game. The gameplay is used to really great effect here, with moral choices occuring as a natural, organic element of the design, rather than isolated, black and white choices you might find in, say, Mass Effect. Does a really great job of maintaining the stressful, high-pressure feeling one would have in that situation. The art style is effective and it is well polished, with plenty of charm and character, and the right length to feel substantial, but not padded or dragged out.

Overall, a really polished, well thought-out and refined game, with great moral choice mechanics. Highly recommended.

A fun demo, but not much of a game.

Surgeon Simulator is fun to play for ten minutes. It's silly, it's funny, and it's good to watch. But this is unfinished as a game. There are barely any instructions, no tutorial, and nothing to even indicate the requirements for completing a goal. Glitches and bad design decisions make it difficult and unclear how to proceed, and finnicky goal conditions mean you can do everything required but still fail for no reason. Okay, I'm supposed to do a heart transplant - I've put the new heart in, why aren't I winning? Do I need to do something else? Etcetera.

By all means pick it up for a few bucks on a sale, but don't buy at full price expecting a complete game.

Controls are completely broken. Doesn't work with a keyboard OR an Xbox controller. The button mappings make no sense, doesn't match what's on the screen or what it would be on a console, and they don't tell you which button is which. Don't buy.
