Blender's a great tool that's had a massive improvement after it's 2.8 release and it's only going to get better.

A great followup to Asylum with lots more to do since it's more "open world" and free-roaming compared to the linear prequel. There's a ton of really challenging Riddler puzzles to test your skills and an entertaining story. A no-brainer-must-buy if you enjoyed Arkham Asylum (and definitely recommend trying that one first before this one BUT if you must choose one, you can still enjoy this one without playing the previous one, though the stories are linked).

The art, the music, the chillaxing experience, the collectibles and easter eggs to bring you back for another round... this game is great and worth the full price of admission. It's Journey underwater minus the "co-op" aspect. Didn't find it missing.
The animations, the way fish group up, eat, swim, etc. is all quite believable.

If you want to have a great time, buy it!

If you're unsure whether you want to play MGSV? Try this "demo" (which really has a lot of extra content and missions to get you to replay it) and you'll know whether the stealth action mechanics and the gameplay are your thing.

You really do have to get comfortable messing up instead of playing perfectly, though that too is an option. I had fun, though I'm not sure I want to keep doing this for more hours (I do dig the narrative though).

Got it at 75% off and definitely got my money's worth.

The original was fun, especially because of the story. The combat mechanics and shooting isn't very enjoyable to me as combat becomes repetitive very quickly. Using your abilities to do things like shock enemies in puddles is handy once in a while but it feels more gimmicky than tactically useful in the long run because run & gun just works. Still, an experience I'd recommend to most people. :)

A mish-mash of the not-so-great parts of Mega Man and MMX without what made each great with ugly visuals.
(Probably) not worth your time unless you like being frustrated all the time or your life's motto is "git gud".

First the good:
- When it gets it right, it's very reminiscent of the old Mega Man games.
- Speedrunners will get more fun out of the combo system and infinite dashing through areas.
- Interesting challenges to test specific skills and get the best times.
- Ray's DLC is actually more interesting.

The terrible:
- Poor level design which will lead to countless cheap deaths
- A life system that does nothing but make you mad when you had 1 life left from a previous stage and have to restart because of a Game Over.
- A frustrating ducking dash that does nothing but serve as an excuse to kill you.
- Annoying voice over work.
- Ugly and poorly-stylized graphics. You aren't a robot, you're a plastic toy. Also, pizza explosions.
- One incredibly lame boss fight that requires a whole level restart upon death. (Interesting idea, poor execution).

As a Kickstarter backer I understand a lot of their problems inlcuding wanting to make the game for too many platforms at once, but I'm also very dissappointed by the final product itself.

Fun with physics, if you enjoy drawing circles with your mouse non stop. If you like somewhat unpredictable physics-based games, this little brawler is for you.

It was slightly enjoyable but you don't feel very much in control and it's not very fun to get damaged from enemy corpses for no reason. Gets boring fast and I didn't even get to try any other weapons. Also, super tiny resolution with no size options.

Go elsewhere for your brawler/LOTR fix!

I'm sure it's fun with a party, but with all the bla-bla-bla story, countless cutscenes just to get to the actual fighting, and not much meat to the combat (2 regular melee, 1 finisher, and a ranged option) just makes this game feel like it got bogged down in systems and not really testedfor fun early on. I'm sure the late game's more fun without worrying about energy or ammo and having lots of skills. But I'll never get there because it's not worth it.

A streamlined super action packed "Metroidvania" with great combat, visuals, and pacing.
There's no cooler ninja than Strider. If you want more, there's a lot of unlockables like costumes, challenges, art, story, and higher difficulties. All of that with no DLC makes for a value-packed action game.

All action, no fluff. This game is all about non-stop bullet hell action and not bogging down your game with story or characters you don't care about.

With 3 ships (and an unlockable 4th) to choose from to find your groove, unlimited continues so you can see the end (even though you'll be dying with every wave of bullets by the end), a lot of achievements, time attacks, and even pro replays to see that it's actually possible to survive without a scratch... there's quite a bit to do for those wanting a fun, challenging, and no-nonsense game.

Thanks to those unlimited continues and being able to see the end, the game's difficulty isn't as frustrating and challenges you to actually try and survive as much as possible (since your stars which affect score are reset with continues and there's an achievment for not continuing and even not dying).

Test your might!
