Bite sized XCOM-like that feels more like a puzzle game rather that the complex strategy without actually skipping entirely on the latter.

Depth of an XCOM in half the time!

"Horror" game that's digestible even for people that usually don't sek out media from this genre. It is short and to the point. Well written and believable dialogues for the most part, supported by supreme voice acting. I don't want to overlook that point, it this was not voice acted and you would have to read all the dialogue it would lost a lot of charm. Especially with how dynamic the speech system is, since you can interrupt people who speak and they will get to their original point very smoothly. And what surprised me the most was the unexpected "online/multiplayer" aspect that adds that extra little bit of creepyness.

Disappointing as a weird storytelling tool. Dissapoiting as a toy to entertain you for 10 minutes. And disappointing even visually as it really doesn't go anywhere. It is about as much interactive as a youtube video series through annotations. Only redeeming factor is the fact it's really that short (15 minutes or so) so it doesn't bother you for very long.

Attempt no.1: Somehow managed to get a game. Robbed a drug store by holding "E". SHot half the city. Died in the escape van.

Attempt no.2: Finally got in a game. Got kicked for not having enough money to equip silencer.

Attempt no.3: AI shot me through multiple walls.

Attempt no.4: Lost connection to a host.

CS:GO continues with delivering tactical and skill focused FPS multiplayer gameplay, same as its predecessors. Plus it has an great advantage not only being the "prettiest" from graphical standpoint, it also is the most accesible one to begginers and provides enough content for casual players who either doesn’t want to participate in competitive play or don’t have enough time. For competitive gamers, it offers matchmaking based on your skill group and loads of options to tweak it.

Trine 2 offers quite similar experience as Portal 2 does. In singleplayer, puzzles are exponentialy harder but in a coop is game so much fun. Its not very challenging from the logical point of view. Puzzles are not that hard to solve. But apart from Portal, it also involves some gaming skill and precision.

Portal 2 is evolution from Portal. You still have to solve puzzles (rooms) by your portals-making gun, with some small aditions and more polished game design. It now offers 6-7 hours singleplayer campaign as well as 5-6 hours of co-op campaign, plus workshop support with user made maps. While i think singleplayer is slightly worse than it the first one, coop is where the game shines.

Best combat system and feeling in FPS ever made. Lots of vareties how to smash your enemies. Terrible story-telling with one really good twist. Badly pre-scripted (story-telling) events. Very interesting and neat graphics. Combat feels good enough to overcome story issues.

SR 3 is an open-world "GTA-like" game. Its strong elements are story, dialogues, mission variety and script. It also offers a lots of side activities. Some of them are ordinary, some of them are real fun to do. That is also the main focus of the game - fun and humour. And it succeeds in doing so! Shooting and driving is servicable. You can also play it in co-op, but i wouldn’t suggest it, its much more enjoyable to play alone. For me, it beats any GTA game.

Chivalry provides you with really awesome, deep and well thought through combat system. There are all the usual game modes plus the dynamic objective modes which is asymetric for two sides. That one is really great. Game has average graphics and clunky animations.
