An arthouse platformer that easily goes toe to toe with the likes of Inside and Limbo. It's a little on the short side but don't miss it on deal.

Anyone remember that one mission in Startopia? Yeah they definitely did too. And I have to say, I'm glad they did. A worthy re-imagining of Two Point Hospital, too. Definitely makes a strong first impression, and I get the impression there's a lot of quality here. Definitely a lot of solid comedy, to be sure. They did not ignore the deeply cursed implications of a great many things.

After finishing the campaign my opinion has soured completely. Which is a shame because some of the assets in the game are absolutely stunning, but that flair quickly fades.

As to the campaign? What an incredible mess. I knew the story was was bad but Jesus Christ. This didn't even feel like a first draft, it felt like a grabbag of random scenes shoved together. Nothing that should be explained was, especially the 'plan' they enact in the end.

I was prepared to call this a 7/10 game with room to grow if they at least fix some of the terrible ship pathfinding but that rating is dropping precipitously the more I think about it.

There's so many little issues too like the resource collectors not having a salvage nearest ability, I swear that was a thing in HW2.

I want to hope there's still something here worth salvaging in the long term but man that has to be one of the most embarrassing RTS campaigns I've ever played. If you're looking to play the game on the basis of the campaign, don't.

It may be worth it on deal at like, $15 for the current version.

It's pretty good. While I don't think it rises to the level of some of the main series games, there's definitely enough here for a good experience. I feel like it does drag in a few places, but overall the core of the experience in quality. Hopefully the sequel will one day make its way over to Steam as well!

A quite remarkable game. Definitely an evolution from the first. Quite ahead of its time too in terms of the themes it tackles. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a solid modern puzzle game.

Worthy of being a canon portal game, honestly.

Actually this is pretty good, and can add a lot to many different future playthroughs.

Shame about the price though. Wait for a deal.

Goofy as all hell but honestly holds up pretty well, all things considered. Even if the show part is a bit hard to follow, and they throw a bit too much text at you in the emails. Don't miss if a fan of Remedy's other works.

OK but for real, Spec Ops the Line's white phosphorous segment has nothing on the Cutie the Elphant section

If you like isometric horror games you will like this one, 100% accuracy prediction.

Despite my misgivings with Cayne the stasis games just get better and better. Can't wait to see what they do in the universe next.
