Addictive and so satisfying to complete.

Really fun, casual game.

Easy achievements is a +.

For a game that is primarily cutscenes, there is no excuse for graphics this poor.

The biggest problem is that none of the players choices feel like meaningful choices. I noticed that by Chapter 3, I was just picking the most aggressive option, with less consideration to optimising the characters choices as it led to the same outcome anyway.

Another problem that grated me isn't specific to this game but rather the genre. It's irritating that the game doesn't include options I would like because of either limitations in the game or because the developers didn't think to include them. The lack of meaningful choices, and complete omission of other options doesn't encourage empathy for the characters. Why should I care about this character, when they wouldn't even be in this situation had an option been available to me earlier?

Of the dialogue choices available to me, it seems the player characters have a masochistic habit of paraphrasing the dialogue in such a way as to completely act counter to why I picked that dialogue option. NPCs tend to interpret my dialogue to mean the opposite of my intention, and it's not like I have the option to claify what I meant to make up for my characters stupidity.
NPCs themselves act as a caricature of one or occasionally two traits. I've never known a character to mindlessly seek unwinnable war like Ser Royland Degore or completely ignore the importance of displaying strength in a feudal society like Duncan Tuttle . You want to strike a balance between these two extremes? Forget about it.
For some of the antagonistic NPCs, their habit of acting with only one defining trait and perpetually misinterpreting me makes it impossible to predict their behavior or leverage the conversation in any way, making the endeveor pointless.

Some of the things present in the game are completely nonsensical. For example: (Spoiler: Chapter 2) There's no earthly way the Freys don't check Rodrik is dead after the Red Wedding, notice he's alive when he's dumped on the cart, and even if they don't, it's impossible for Rodrik to survive a 100's of miles cart ride, next to corpses, in a bumpy cart without either bleeding out, starving or dying of thirst. Remember, it's HUNDREDS OF MILES . Another example: (Spoiler: Chapter 2) House Tyrell has "significant ties" to House Glenmore, a minor house in the middle of nowhere in the North? Getoutta here. Margaery would have no idea who the hell they are

The best thing about this game is also the worst thing. Huge amounts of attention-to-detail. It's great seeing all the different characters and powers but it makes it a pain to get 100%. Still, flying as Iron Man is tons of fun.

A very quick game, with simple mechanics and great humour. Easy achievements, but very little replay value.

A huge world, allowing for many different playstyles. The Dark Brotherhood and Mage's Guide questlines are better by far than Skyrim's, and the Thieves Guild is a close second to Skyrim.

10/10

More of a puzzle solving game, where the puzzles are murders. Some of the cutscenes are humourous, but the gameplay is linear and replay value is low. Still, achievements are easy to obtain.

6.5/10

A witty combination of tower defense mechanics and a 3rd person rolling ball. Lots of fun but slightly repeditive. 8/10

A 2D platform game with a great soundtrack. Plays like a mix of a sidescroller shooter with some puzzle solving thrown in. Love the unique characters.

The graphics are good, but the story mode is where this game really shines. The story mode will take hours to complete, there is a ton of content there. The game serves as a great introduction to Mortal Kombat lore and each character is fleshed out and well developed.

9/10
