I have gotten it on Playstation and on Steam and enjoyed them both. I am unsure about the mixed reviews. I thought the graphics were on point with well written characters. I enjoyed the humor and thought the little side games were enjoyable if a little tedious. I really enjoyed it for what it was. I really hope they continue to make these as I feel they are great stories. I recommend it and I loved the first one from Telltale as well.

Be aware that it is not a Telltale game but they spirit and feeling is still there even if the standard choices are not there I thought they did a pretty good job as well as leaving some great options for future games.

I have been waiting for this from Supermassive and this is a spiritual successor to Until Dawn and I love it. The stories are great and it feels nostalgic and modern at the same time. The voice acting is spot on and some great creep and scary moments as well as some pretty graphic death scenes. It interweaves supernatural and real life elegantly and my faith is again at the highest point for Supermassive. I have always loved their games but this is definitely a gem that is worth playing. Don't rush the first time and enjoy it! I always recommend one game without knowing anything and then you can do whatever after that. These games have some good replay ability and the characters are fun and different with some very funny lines at some points. A remarkable and well done job by 2K and Supermassive if only it didn't have that awful 2K launcher stupidity.

This game really brings a feeling of homebrew D&D games. The stories are good and the characters are well written. It really is just a fun game that let's you get lost in a story with characters and legacies that you create. Not only that but people from your other legacies can make a come back as a guest in another story. It really is quite enjoyable. Pick it up and try for yourself. It really does an amazing job!

This game was way ahead of its time. It is definitely a precursor to Control and you can almost feel it in the soul of the game. The acting quality is really good and the shows that happen in between are pretty good production. If you love Control or Alan Wake, I bet you will adore this as much as I do.

I just don't get the hype for this. I have played through the first several hours and the graphics are very good but they almost give my very strong video card heats up to inferno levels but it doesn't do it for any other game at high graphics. I have played a lot of MMOs and this is all of them but slower. It feels grindy whether you are combat, or crafting and it just doesn't seem to offer anything new except possibly for PvP. I am not normally a PvP player so this game offers nothing better than Elder Scrolls Online. I would still recommend ESO hands down above this. The story is ok but nothing spectacular. I really have no idea why it is so popular because the UI is also just not very intuitive or well-designed.

I will play off an on but would never be a primary game I would play regularly just because I don't want my MMO to become a job and they way they have designed it if you want to be 'the best' you need to invest countless hours just like any other MMO except this one will have you consuming time doing everything rather than a few things. The grind is truly awful and I have barely begun.

I have played through this in original trilogy and the new one and it almost felt new and refreshing to go back after these years and go again. Mass Effect isn't just a game series, it is a family and escapism at its very best. I cannot recommend this enough. I have played through 30-40 times over the years and it doesn't bother me to do it again.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I loved Life is Strange and had high hopes. I have been floored about how well they handle what it is like to be LGBTQ+ in a conservative environment while still touching on the humanity of others. People make bad choices and sometimes they are made for a good reason but that doesn't make it any easier. I was swept away by the connection and the genuine human bonds and connections that they portrayed.

I have played this on gog.com since beta and I still love it. Probably some of the best art in any CCG. It is fun and also fairly easy to play for free. I am happy to pay though because they made a great game. I highly encourage you to give it a whirl.

Elder Scrolls Online had a very bumpy start but I adore this game and the visuals, stories and setting are a lot of fun. Zenimax really upped their game and 'One Tamriel' really made it a great game.

I have played a lot of MMOs but I come back to this one because it is easy to pop in, do crafting dailies, sell some things and do it every day. I also find that just wandering around I bump into quests I haven't finished or delves I missed. It really has a lot to offer everyone. Plus, if you want to make money being sneaky and a thief you can focus on the Thieves Guild stuff. It really is well done and beautiful.

Visually, this game is stunning. There were some visual glitch problems but got corrected fairly quickly. The story is enjoyable and the tombs are fun puzzles. I also love the depth of lore and information. This is a great game and I just really fell in love with Lara Croft again after playing the other games in the reboot series. The voice acting is very well done and I really enjoyed all of the characters that are introduced.

If you enjoy beautiful scenery, fun puzzles and horrendously gut wrenching death scenes then this is all for you.
