Chess 2

Play this game if you need the courage to kill yourself

Great gameplay, decent story, good graphics, great dialogue, and very good multiplayer mechanics too. Good follow up to the original game

Got the game for free and I ended up really liking this one!
Big fan of management and strategy games. I like the simple mechanics enough for this to be a casual game yet with enough risk management to keep you on your toes. Achievements are decent, and can be 100% completed in two campaign playthroughs.

Overall, Bomber Crew was well worth my time.

Loved it. The antagonist faction of EW seems a little bit annoying but yeah I still loved the content added in the EW expansion

A significant change from the old titles of the series. However, one disadvantage is that the game feels dead alot quicker than it used to. In the past, there was Low rank, High Rank, then G rank, with new tier of equipment, weapons and monsters only in G rank. Tempered monsters (similar to frenzy) makes it feel kinda repetitive. I just wish the game had a longer playtime feel, without being too repetitive. Other than that, I still loved the game while it lasted. I just feel like you hit the end goal way too quick, compared to, say MHFU.

Whatever you do, don't play this game after 9pm if you have to sleep at all.

8/10

Ladies and Gentlemen, Skyborn. Truly a hidden gem.
Got it for free. No regrets, totally worth every dollar if you paid for it.

[Menu/Video Settings/Audio]
+ Simple save/load system with more than sufficient save slots if you want to try different team builds.
+ Easy customisable audio (BGM, BGS, SFX)
+ Amazing soundtrack (I especially like the Main Menu one)
+ Text speed configuration (Saves you so much pain if you dislike slow text)
+ Minor details such as window skin colour
- Lack of resolution configuration, video quality settings (Well, okay, since it's kinda themed like GBA games)
- No controller support (Would've loved it, for even greater feel of old style console games)
- Really low frames that hurt when you run on a monitor with high res + refresh rate + large screen)

[Gameplay]
+ Great character development, backstories introduced slowly at appropriate times
+ Final Fantasy styled combat system, giving a very strategic, engaging feel (Can't always rely on dumb luck)
+ Overall mostly a good plot, although I feel kinda like there was much more to expect after the ending
+ Good degree of flexibility to customise your combat style with 2 class changes per character (except last character)
- Combat can get kinda repetitive at some points where the monster encounter density is too high
- Replayability is not so much, unless you just want to try out new classes or finish the side quests

Just a good game. If it's on sale for less than 10, just buy it already.

This game just spells horrible all over itself, if you can even call it a game.
Even if it was released in 1990, I would still fail this game.
It's like the only thing in the devs' mind is: Zombies, Fire, Guns, Parkour
Zero satisfaction whatsoever. Unless you love zombies.

Gamplay:
- Game feels more like an experiment with an engine rather than a game.
- Unbalanced gameplay
- Guns do not have ammo or recoil (Did you even try?)
- Shotgun does not even deal spread damage (only hits single targets)
- Zero plot
- Zero in-game character development (If you didn't read the store page you would never know)
- Buggy jumping movements & walls/platforms
- Lava could be better designed (maybe to deal damage over time, rather than explode & instant kill on impact)
- Projectiles from zombies (really?) are just horribly designed
- Parkour map with overpowered boss right at the end. Have to keep doing the jumps ALL over again, repeatedly
- Boss in Level 6 is just plain terrible. Projectiles fired from horrible areas, no player manuvering space, fireballs clip through boss platform while bullets do not
- Can't restart a level from within the game. Have the load up the zombie eating screen, wait for that, load to main menu, click on Play > Level, wait for that to load, Press Enter, wait for drop, and thats how you restart after dying. (Seriously? God knows why there couldn't be a simple "Press R to restart")
- One more because I really hate the loading screens.

Settings
- Video Settings: 2 Options - Fullscreen & Windowed.
- Can't even scale the windowed game. (What was the point even?)
- Audio Settings: Non-existent. Terrible music blaring in the main menu cannot even be softened in game. Have to tab out to adjust any sound
- Difficulty? FOV? Resolution? Brightness? Anything???

Got this game for free, can't delete it now.
If you paid for this, ask for your money back. You're better off spending using that dollar for collection of dust.
1.1/10 would not play again.

Edit: Spelling & more bullet points
+1/10 for the trading cards

Very affordable yet enjoyable FPS game. Constantly updated with new gun skins and maps to keep things a littttle fresh, yet still maintaining the classic 'feel' of the older CS games. All guns are purchasable in-game thus no need for micro-transactions except for aesthetical purposes. A must-buy for all FPS lovers :fsgren:
