What a phenomenal game.
I would highly recommend this game to anyone, especially those who have played Ori and the Blind Forest.

This game takes everything I loved from the first Ori and improves and expands on each of those aspects. The combat is more satisfying and much more fleshed out with a greater variety of tools Ori can use. The movement expands on that of the first game with new movement abilities and a greater sense of flow throughout each level. It certainly helps that spike hazards in the levels don't one-hit kill Ori (if I recall, spikes would instantly kill Ori in the first game which I found to be frustrating).

And of course the major pros include the beautiful soundtrack, the jaw-dropping artwork and smooth animations, the epic escape set pieces that test your skill with the game's movement system, and a fantastic continuation of where the first Ori left off with a story that tugged at my heart strings at certain parts and completely destroyed me at others, leaving me sobbing by the end of the game.

I only ever encountered glitches/bugs once or twice in my whole playthrough and I did notice that exiting the game causes the game to stop responding before requiring someone to close it once given the error message. Ultimately, I don't think these issues affected my time playing the game negatively enough to change my mind on how I feel about it.

If you're looking for a game that is simply about stealing stuff and evading guards, like what the trailer of this game shows, this is not the game for you. The paragraph below is basically all the things I could think of that really bothered me about Thief.

Now, since I haven't played the previous Thief games, I couldn't have expected so much of this story to be so paranormal. It's actually something I greatly disliked about the game, especially how one chapter turns it into a horror game. The ending of the game is also very disappointing and left me thinking "What the ♥♥♥♥?" The level design is very linear, at least in my experience, making sneaking around guards (or at least trying) very futile. There are too many times where areas are "Mash 'F' to move debris/open window," which makes the game feel extremely repetitive and boring (ESPECIALLY when picking things up for money, you'll get tired of that real fast). The controls are unresponsive at times which can be extremely irritating at inconvenient times.
One of my main complaints of the game is how empty it all felt. The story, as stated before, was disappointing and left mostly questions than answers. The character development was awful, you barely got to know some characters before they blatantly die (which is supposed to propel the story forward, which it didn't feel like it did). Garrett also has the personality of a brick, showing little to no emotion, which is just... ugh... The City was supposed to be lively with people roaming the streets with pouches of gold ripe for the taking (at least that's what I thought), instead, we get this empty and drab city that's populated only by people sharing secrets way too loudly inside, poor and sick people who die in one hit on the streets, civilians who do nothing but scream if they see you do anything illegal (like attacking someone, but I don't even think they react to you stealing stuff or you know, sneaking around while covered in weaponry), and guards who never respawn once you take them down until you reach the next chapter of the game.

Here are some things I liked. There's actually quite a few things to do throughout the game. There are lots of little odd jobs which are short but unique. And although I never used it, there is a custom dificulty setting where you can set all sorts of little things to make the game difficult in your own way, which is something I have never seen in any other game.

Still, I wouldn't recommend this game. It's too empty and drab with a story that doesn't really make too much sense (I mean it kind of does but it doesn't give me any closure about everything throughout the story). I'd give it a 4/10.

People are now complaining about "microtransactions" and are really butthurt about it and are now giving this game negative reviews. In my opinion, this game is fantastic. I haven't bought a single DLC for this game nor have I bought a drill for a safe that I got from a loot drop. People need to stop complaining about how it's "pay to win". This is PvE, not PvP. Meaning that there is NO SUCH THING AS PAY TO WIN. You all are acting like you NEED to buy things from them really badly, when you truly don't.

Basically, this game is fine how it is and I have very few complaints. Let me say again that I didn't buy any DLCs for this game and I still have a blast with it. Endless replayability, different varieties of missions, and it's great with friends. It's only $20 too, I'd say it's worth it. Just don't forget that DLCs are optional please. I'm tired of all the people acting like children and making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Amazing story, stunning art, beautiful music, and kick ass combat. The game is fantastic and I would definitely recommend it to any story loving player. I will admit, however, that you get thrown into the game without knowing how to play, but it teaches you how to play soon after not knowing what to do for the first 5 minutes. People may complain that it lacks a lot of information like where you are, why these weird things are attacking you, why you have a glowy sword of death, stuff like that. In my opinion, that just opens up areas for speculation and fan-made theories. In the end, this is a great game and I highly recommend getting it.

This game is intense and brutal. The storyline is very fun, but might lack replay value (unless you're trying to get all the achievements). Tomb Raider will literally keep your hands on the keyboard and mouse. After the first couple MINUTES of playing the game, I would expect something sudden to happen in a QTE (Quick Time Event) or something to pop out and try to kill me. THAT is how intense and suspenseful this game can be. However, the QTEs can be hard to see through all that's happening in game, so take a second or two to see what button you have to press. And the deaths that can happen to you are terrible. I saw some of them in a review, and I happened to do a lot of deaths that were brutal and painful to watch. I got crushed by rocks, impaled in the neck by a wooden spike, impaled in the belly from a tree branch, fell into water only to hit a spike and float off in a bloody mess, and get filled with bullets and/or arrows. The combat is enjoyable, and the stealth feels great when done right.

I personally did not enjoy the multiplayer that much. I didn't find very many things to enjoy about it. All that happened was spawn camping and trying to push out only to be killed by someone who is a higher level. If not getting shot with bullets or arrows, it's being blown up by a constant spam of grenades.

Singleplayer: 9/10 It's a great story with fun puzzles, combat, and exploration. But lacks the replay value to continue.
Multiplayer: 4/10 It's alright, I personally didn't like it that much. But it keeps the fun combat I guess.

Just started recently, I already didn't know the controls because they all had Xbox 360 controller buttons instead of PC.

10/10 would recommend Xbox controller

On a more serious note, the combat is alright, very VERY difficult. I mean sure those enemies didn't attack me but 2 strikes and I'm already out of stamina and can't hit again. Its story is pretty good. Although if I were you I wouldn't take this review seriously since I only have 21 minutes in and not enough time to make a serious judgement. Once again, I highly recommend an Xbox controller for this game. Hell, it even says in the store page.

Its story isn't even that intriguing in my opinion. I just went around not knowing what I was doing, other than exploring extremely linear maps killing enemies whose appearance never change. The bosses aren't that difficult either, and character customization is very limited. Combat is boring. Just straight up boring. For some odd reason my default controls are NOT what the tutorial says. For example, it told me that the spacebar was dodge. Well it wasn't, and for some reason it was shift (by default). And the audio is silent (by default as well). But that could be my problem.

It's alright. It's fun at first but gets old really quickly. Also if you watch the Steam Launch Trailer for Warface, when it says "Join explosive versus warfare", it's not lying. Multiplayer in this game is literally just nade spam, good luck actually using your gun to kill someone, especially if that someone has a weapon they paid for. It's a pay to win game. Other than that, it's alright.

Oh and also my computer has detected spyware when I tried to update this game. Every time I started updating, more and more dangerous spyware is being detected. This doesn't happen all the time, but it happens.
