This review is more of a warning!
If you are not a batman fan, this game will leave you with a mixed taste.
If you are not a completionist type, you will not get past 40% of the game since the rest 60% is all about collecting stuff.
If you are not a fan of colectibles, stay away!
If you are a perfectionist and achievement hunter, this game will annoy you and frustrate you.
If you want to spend 10-20 hours chasing riddles trophies, so you can have a boss fight and a simple achivement, go ahead!

This game does justice to the batman series, the characters are very developed and interesting and it is a perfect blend of action and stealth. The main story is fun and nicely weaved, but it only represents 30% of the game. And the rest 70% represents the perfect expression for tedium. The down side are all those riddle trophies. The actual riddles are fun to solve, but those trophies left me with a sour aftertaste. Well, it got replay value alright! It is too much to try and complete all the game in one go. I hope this review prepares you for what is to come.

Playing Solitaire has never been so fun! This is as casual as a game can get. Also nice for foodies too.

,,It is a truth universally acknowledged, that every now and again a situation arises that defies explanation”:
Like how this game came to be or the existance of cabbit!

No other franchise evolved like the Saints - from the thug life to space warriors - in the most mindblowing matter.
This is how I imagine they planned the next Saints Row game:

,,- Man, how can we improve gansta life gameplay, what relevant content shall we put, what can we do to make it more engaging?
- Should we add more depth, more character development? Shall we make it more realistic? Shall we add romance or drama? Shall we include life lessons? Shall we inspire from the cold and harsh reality?
- Shall we put more guns and ammo?

*brainstorming and ten hours of thinking later*

- Screw it. Let's put the game on drugs!”


Do not try to overthink the game. Not even the game takes itself seriously.
It provides lot of fun and wacko stuff. It will entertain you in an unexpected way and it will charm you with how over the top is!
Want to have super powers and a variety of killing options? You got it.
Want to get away from normality? You got it.
Ever wanted to see a juice can destroy a city and an alien overload quoting Jane Austen? You got that too.
Have fun!

This is a charming ARPG. It features a nice variety of mobs. The graphics are beautiful.
The story is simple and more of an excuse to visit Borgovia. But the skill tree is dumb.

The greatest monster slayer of all time was stopped by a cliffhanger.

Deluso. This game had the potential to be a true tropical paradise. Unfortunately, it fell short. Here is why:

1. The Dynasty feature isn't properly exploited.
While having a dynasty of dictators sounds badass, throughout the entire game, I never really needed to switch my main dictator. To be honest, it did not feel groundbreaking or really relevant for the game that I had backup dictators. I did not feel that they were ”valuable assets” either.

2. The Eras lack substance. They felt like simplified boxes. Advancing from era to era is not as exciting as you would think.

3. The multiplayer is cringy. I wanted to be a co-op dictator, I reaallly did. But I felt like at every step of the way something was not working.


FEAR NOT TROPICANS, TROPICAL 4 REMAINS!

A solitaire with pets to keep as company. Fairy enough.

I thought I was a good tactician then I played this game ... You can really feel the pain of the Dark Ages.

You get to be a viking and have your own cheer squad of Valkyries in order to chase the death from the North.

No idea why this game isn't more popular. This is Vallhalla-sent.

A monstery kid-friendly game and interesting visual novel. It reminded me of the creatures from Spore.

P.S. The charm wears off quickly if you are playing for the achievements.

I don't rue playing this! An indie cyberpunk with noir atmosphere was what I needed.
At first, the player won't understand anything and feel detached, but it grows on you as you play.
I especially liked Epsilon's Five voice, it was really silky.
The thing is - that with soo much sci-fi ingame lore, this should have been a series. The setting was too big for just a short game.
