Full Summary:

Let me start with telling that The Elder Scrolls Online has become one of my favourites MMO-games. Over the course of the time i have played quite a few MMO's and TESO is quite a number 1 for the moment. Despite it not being perfect in terms of bugs and bugs that will remain unfixed, it needn't be perfect for all that i can offer. There is a rich atmosphere, great in detail and high quality graphics. Along the lines of that you have the capability to customise your character in a lot of ways. The world of Tamriel is massive, this i mean literally. Even after a years of playing, you wont be thorough with the content it overs. Various Storylines with also a continuation with the regular updates on new content. A lot of side-stories and side quests. Group-events, dungeons and delves. Dungeons can be done in various difficulty modes and with time new Dungeons arrive. Despite choosing a class, your character can become anything, this because of the high versatility with the way you build up a character. You can for example take the Nightblade class, mainly reffered as assassin, but despite that it can be a healer or tank even. There are lots of different types of sets with different passives and actives you can craft your own build and character to your liking. Due to builds being so versatile and not a linear line has been drawn to this, same on questing and storylines that can be followed in any order. It can be quite overwhelming as a starting player. However hold on and let it all sink in, take it slowly and you will pave your path soon. The PvP is another great aspect of the game. While it has an arena-type of PvP mode, it also has an open world PvP where the battle is between all players in the current server of a faction. At character creation you choose one of the 3 factions for your character. The open-world PvP is like a medieval castle siege and you have to work with each other to capture the castles and conquer the lands in the name of your faction. In TESO you can be part of up to 5 guilds. This means you do not need to be in one singular guild and guilds can specify themselves into what their focus lies on. You can find RP guilds, PvP guilds, PvE guilds, Trade guilds, Social guilds and mixed guilds ofcourse in the game. To play the game properly you will need to have Subscription, this is mainly due the craftingbag and double bankspace. While you adventure there are a lot of resourcenodes that you can harvest, this is essential in crafting or trading. The craftbag soaks up all your craftingingredients into a specialized bag for it. If you are free-to-play however all the ingredients stockpile your inventory, then you have to decide to either discard them or not collect them. Which is a waste. Also in-game items such as cosmetics and/or account upgrades, collectibles tend to be pricey in the game, a cosmetic mount for example could cost £15. All with all it is a great game, loads of content, group acitivities and things you expect from an MMO. There is a lot more to mention about the game, but i tried to cover the essentials. I just hope someday my friends will play this game with me, cause with most games this game too is more fun with friends.

Cons & Missing Features

Some achievements were not granted.

Full Summary:

The game is story rich, it has all features you expect from a Hidden-Object Game. Such as variety of puzzles and a variety in hidden objects puzzle, hint system & difficulty modes. You can also choose to play a pairing-game mode as alternative for any Find Hidden-Objects game. The story is also very nice written and catches you from within it, creating empathy, alongside that it also contains various jumpscares. Despite it continuing the story of Enigmatis 1, you do not need to have played Enigmatis 1, in order to understand the plot. The game its plot is on its own, however some parts do make a refference or are strongly connected to Enigmatis 1, but these moments are also recapped in the game.

I played this game on Expert mode, the hardest difficulty and as always i play without Hints. However the achievements were not granted at the end of the game, i tried to replay it, but still did it not grant the remaining achievements. Which is for me the only con in this game.

Full Summary:

First of all i am someone whom likes to play Hidden-Object Games. I have played various titles of Hidden-Object Games from Artifex Mundi. Artifex Mundi always had great quality content in their Hidden-Object Games and so i never really looked into other Hidden-Object Games. Until the day the Developer of this game asked me to write a review for their game. So i decided to give it a try and i must say i am impressed.

The game offers a lot of content regarding story and variety of puzzles. Some puzzle types i have never played before, so i liked the variety and uniqueness the puzzles brought. Also the story is really interesting and it has some parts you could not really anticipate, such as the ending. Also end game, you can read the Prologue in a comic version, which is also a nice addition for those whom like to go more in-depth with the story. Plus as the title says ''A Broken Heart Quest'' , throughout the game you get to know and see different definitions of this title.

To people whom love Hidden-Object Games, this is definetly a must play.

The price of the game is quite normal for the quality and content it delivers.
In my opinion it just would have been nicer if the font in the HUD and Title screen would be more Indian Styled, rather than the Aztecan/Mayan style.

Pros & Unique Feautures

High Quality Graphics & Details (Realistic)

Great Storyline/Story Rich

Combination of Sidequests along the Main Storyline

Variety of Styles in Combat

Co-Op Mode

DLC Additional Story
Cons & Missing Features

Co-Op Mode not that popular to play and less players online.

Full Summary:

Compared to the previous Tomb Raider game. The graphics have been improved, the story lenght is increased. More combat methods, you now can craft more items to improve weapons and ammo storage. You have more different ammo types and can craft health medicines. New assisting items to pass through obstacles, pathways etc. Also you can now manually select outfits to wear on camps and earn more outfits and items through quests and sidequests.

The game offers a lot of content in overall. Along with the main storyline you follow, you can discover sidequests in the form of secret tombs hidden in the area. These are optional to complete, but do contribute in more knowledge of the main story its origins when you manage to solve that tomb. Other than that the game has challenges for you to achieve while you play. The graphics and details of the game make the game look realistic, you feel like you are actually in the movie itself. On the island, you are also free to roam around and gather XP by killing animals or solving tombs. Whenever you level up due the XP, you gain skill points which can enhance your combat attacks/methods, increase survivalbility or some other features which enhance your gameplay overall, such as gather more ammo from enemy corpses. When you are stuck in the game, you are lost or such, you can press the Q button (by default) anytime to find out where you need to go in order to progress in your game. What is also nice about this game is the way it offers to combat. You aren't always forced to fight in melee or fight in ambushes. You can also be stealthy and make stealthy kills, avoiding ambushes. The game also offers a variety of weapons and tactics to kill an enemy. In comparison with the previous Tomb Raider games, the gameplay is a bit different but nicer in my opinion. The tombs and puzzles, which were forced to solve in order to progress were implented in this game as optional tombs. Making it easier to progress to those whom had difficulties with this. While also granting those whom loved these parts the oppertunity to do this.

Cons & Missing Features

Bad Gameplay, read below

Full Summary:

It seemed like a good game, it had a nice plot and nice environment and levels would be assumed to be nice too.

But the levels are badly build, like the crate that is essential to jump to the cliff, those items fall off the floor, which means you cannot continue. If those parts are so essential it shouldn't be falling of in first place. Other than that the way to attack the slime monsters doesn't work when you attack, but they die itself when they walk to the box. If those things were fixed properly it might have been a decent game for it's price.

Callibration in some Levels

Full Summary:

It's a nice game, it has a lot of variety of puzzles, there are new elements added every chapter.
There was just one level where i couldn't place a bomb properly due to the cursor wasn't calibrated properly, changing into window mode solved this problem. Overall it's a nice game to play if you like such puzzles. I recommend to buy it on sale, since all levels and chapters are finished in 2 hours and it isn't that much replayable.

Recommend also for people whom have low self-esteem about themselves and less courage to say something, through the story of the game they will teach you some tips :P.

Repetitve

More Variety

Full Summary:

It's quite a nice game, but it gets repetitve after a while. Also the game would have had more potential if there would be actually levels made and the objectives and difficulty increase per level. This way its not much of a challenge nor encouraged to play smarter and such.
