Still has bugs that make you unable to play the game with no solution or fix. Thanks battleye!

Otherwise it's ok, not a groundbreaking experience but y'know, it's PUBG.

Amazing visuals, on that alone I would buy it again. The puzzles are extremely well made, you slowly get introduced to systems, as you begin to understand the rules they get increasingly complex. It requires logical and out of the box thinking, the difficulty is relatively high the further you progress (and the rate of this increase in difficulty is pretty well done).

I can not get over how beatiful and pretty this game is, for me it's 50% visuals and 50% puzzles as for the reason I recommend this game. Made almost a 100 screenshots in less than 10 hours because of all the sites to discover.

I was able to 100% this game multiple times and haven't even played it for an hour in total - but firing it up occasionally, it's so nice. You don't commit to a long playthrough, the music and atmosphere is great. While the gameplay isn't exceptional it's fun to play and very solid, the game helps me calm down. I would even buy it at full price, but it goes on sale occasionally.

It's Half-Life. You should know this name by now. I actually prefer it over the HL2.. The graphics run on everything, the gameplay is great, yaddayaddayadda.

Buy this.

God, my hours played. Good game, hard to get into, harder to find a good group in, hard to let go - save yourself the trouble if you value your free time

11/10

Like MMOs in general or like Final Fantasy? Best of both worlds here.
It's not a groundbreaking MMO but the most polished and fun one on the market.

It has music and story that a Final Fantasy game deserves. That alone is a big plus.

I am not a big MMO mechanics guy but they are well thought out and become more difficult accordingly.

All in all, just try it for 10 bucks, after 30 hours you will see if you like it or not. I personally found the leveling to be enjoyable due to the funny characters and good stories along the way.

Just adding another positive review and my thoughts:

Your choices don't matter to the story, only to yourself. After I realized that I had an easier time deciding, usually I don't want to miss anything.

The story is great, I like crime series, and this kind of feels like one. The characters are well written and develop throughout the game. Not big on gameplay, but that is not what Telltale games are about. However it has to be noted that this is not just a movie, you interact with the game.

Shown hours are too low, I played it offline during the night in one sitting. I estimate about 6 hours playtime for 100%. I usually don't like doing lists but for this one it's easy.

-Compelling story
-Detailed, beautiful environment
-Logical puzzles that are not unfair
-Walking simulator

Yeah, this game does not hold your hand and you will explore a lot. I certainly did, and I extremely enjoyed this experience. For $3.79 or your local equivalent this is a must-buy if you like puzzle games or narrative experiences.

Short, but good for the price on sale. Pleasing visuals, enjoyable gameplay. I liked the story, but it might not be for everyone. I however got very immersed, I recommend playing it in one playthrough, you won't regret it.

As someone who has only just started to play the old Tomb Raider games, I can not draw any comparison to them whatsoever.

What you get with Tomb Raider is two things: Action and Adventure. LOTS of Action and Adventure.

There are no loading screens inbetween the areas as that is solved by using short hallways, and overall the map feels very fluent and interconnected (e.g. you can see a landmark in the distance, coming closer as you play, with you eventually reaching it). The map and graphics overall make for a great atmosphere. Obviously the stuff that happens to Lara is not really realistic, but even though one knows she will survive, one still flinches because the gameplay designers did not choose her experience in this game to be comforting. As such, when she begins to struggle on a ledge or similar, I actually thought that she might fall. The experience and skill point system is good, every skill point spent actually helps ingame and the XP system rewards exploration. Ideally you want to use your weapons as little as possible, but they can be upgraded too and receive new features during the game. This makes backtracking to old areas rewarding as with the new equipment new tombs and areas are unlocked.

The story is very linear, but the fact that the exploration and challenges are so enjoyable and larger areas yield many surprises makes up for it. Maybe I am just bored of sandbox and multiplayer games. It is just a long, awesome, action/adventure movie in that sense, as the cutscenes blend nicely with the gameplay, similar to the loading passages.

There are a few not so ideal things, such as the mediocre combat system and enemy AI, however I would not say that it substracted from the game, but it did not add to it either. Stealth is possible for some areas, in other areas however, the game forces you to be discovered (at the same time some explosions are probably going on too). While I am a huge stealth player, I did enjoy being forced to go "loud" for once, as I ALWAYS try to get a perfect stealth run if a game permits me to do so.

Graphical performance is optimised, I am able to play it fluently on a lower resolution (1080p :v) with medium settings on a low grade notebook graphics card. A proper desktop should have no problems handling it. The most taxing options that should be disabled if aiming for more FPS are: Antialiasing, Post-processing, SSAO, High Precision, TressFX (set Hair to normal).

Overall I recommend this game very highly, I do not like x/10 scales, as everyone sees those differently. I however, thoroughly enjoyed this game and would it recommend it to my friends and that is all that matters in the end.
