Early Access Review
While I haven't played enough to experience every single side job and permutation of the crimes available, I can say that this is a great game to get immersed in. It never puts on training wheels and gives the player complete control to solve or completely fail a case. If you go in expecting clear indication of what to do you'll be stumped as to what to do next. The key is to be patient and methodical.
Sometimes the randomness of the experience does leave something to be desired. For example, you want to ask a specific question to a person, but there's only a limited selection from which to choose from. But it doesn't detract from the overall experience.

After Doom 2016's success, I eagerly awaited the release of the sequel. One aspect I was particularly interested was seeing in what interesting direction they would take the franchise. If there's one thing I would criticize about 2016 was that it played it a bit too safe.
After playing through it (still have to get around the DLC levels) I can say it's a fantastic game. It will take a while to adjust to it's playstyle but, once you do, there's nothing quite like it. Extremely fast paced.
If you hated 2016 and wanted something more akin to the old style of games, this sequel isn't it. It's a refinement of everything 2016 did right (and wrong) cranked to 11.

Finally got to play this legendary game after years of procastination. Now a whole world of memes opens up in from of me!
On a more serious note, the game is outstanding, merging stealth, combat and roleplaying elements in a very atractive package. Just be aware that it will take some getting used to to understand the game mechanics.

IMO the best Batman game and the best game in the Arkham series. Although some of the mechanics aren't as refined as the latter installments, the setting, mood and characters more than make up for it.

Great game with an excellent atmosphere. Be sure to check out the config files before playing to make sure you get the best image quality possible.

Still haven't bought this game? Do it. Don't read any reviews or watch any promotional trailers, They will spoil this amazing game.
If you want to know what you're getting into then I'll tell you: this is a FPS with stealth elements, where you can dual wield almost every weapon, kill every nazi and go to some awesome places including the freaking moon. The story is great, the characters are well developed and it's all around the best shooter in recent years.
I would suggest buying the retail edition, because with that you get the code for the Doom Beta, aswell as some TF2 items for your heavy.

Paid mods got removed from the Steam Workshop. Changing my review to positive again.
Now I have to actually write a review (forgot to backup the old one). Oh well, until will decides to strike me, this stays as a placeholder.

What can I say? It's one of the best 3D Sonic platformers ever made! And it made it to PC!
To be honest, when I bought this, I was expecting an easy game, with little to bo challenge, that I would be able to beat in a couple of hours (I'm looking at you Sonic Colors on the DS). Turns out I was wrong, and gladly wrong, because this game offers a great degree of challenge latter on. The levels are awesome and reminiscent of past Sonic levels, from the recognizable Green Hill Zone to the cloudy Sky Sanctuary Zone. The story is a hit or miss, way too childish and simple, I wish that Sonic games weren't targeted for a younger audience as they are now.
Overall a great experience, and one of the best platformers on Steam. You don't need to be a Sonic fan to apreciate the game, but it sure helps!

Edit: After playing the game a bit more to achieve 100% completion, I must add that while the controls are fine, I found myself struggling to make certain jumps (god, the frustration) and also found some glitches related to the camera - the camera stays on the side, when it should be centered, makes it hard to platform, when drifting the camera decides to wander off, that sort of thing. Also, the game often crashed when trying to play ranked time attack online, not to mention that the leaderboards are completely hacked, with people having completion times of 00m00s!
Other than that, I still recomend this game.

Max Payne 3 offers the best you could possibly have in a videogame. It has excelent graphics, allied with a heartbreaking story and great gameplay mechanics. That, along with a very interesting multiplayer experience, makes me recomend this game to anyone who has a powerful enough computer to run it.
