It freaks the absolute hell out of me. Something about the sound design, the dark foggy visuals and the freaky as fk little mannequin things* just mess me right up. Halfway through every junction I want to just nope right out.

*yes I know they are called tourists. I don't care. They are freaky.

But its compelling. I can't stop thinking about it. I keep wanting to play it more. Loving the story and characters, the art style, etc.

And I'm becoming more and more attached to my car...

Edit (after having finished the game): eventually reached an uncomfortable unease with the environment, and got very attached to the sanctuary of my car. A little disappointed by how it ended, but also found it very profane. Says a lot I'm still thinking about it months later... ...probably time to playit again...

I loved Dead Island. Didn't really get on with Dying Light 1. Am really enjoying this one! Parkour/movement feels better. Looks great. Plays well on my PC. Having a lot of fun bashing zombies' skulls in!

OCD zen to the finest degree.

came for the refund dramas.

bought for the developer support.

played, nigh on shat myself. gone for the can't handle the tension!!

really really lots of fun. improves on the zombie army trilogy in every way. great fun coop and solo.

Its awesome. Like BL2 but more awesome. Also no low-grav and no Aussie accents (sorry!).

system shock / bioshock => in space => with scary mimics and funky plot. love it!

Ok so its not Saints Row, but it is pretty fun and very 'out there' with the weaps/style/characters/skills/etc. Vehicles are meh - awful handling and no real point in using them - but the game as a whole I really enjoyed once past the first few hours of getting into the feel of it.

10/10 would get set on fire and shout at the voices in my head to shut up again!

No but seriously... ...it is stunningly beautiful, with great sound. very very atmospheric. also very very intense. as others have said is as much experiential as game, but still wow. I wish there were more games like this; short, to the point, making a point, and interesting for it.

Just to be clear; the subject matter (mental illness) gets all the press. And that is interesting. But I like the game because its an immersive experience, it doesn't have to be an off the wall topic to achieve that, but I guess it helps.

Just one more turnnnn......

damn its daylight again already...

Yes its addictive as ever. Best change imo being the new districts system; it adds a lot visually, it adds strategy and methods of micromanaging (which I love), and it aesthetically brings the player closer to emotional and material detail of your civilization and your world.

Its Civ, just as awesome as the first one, and mostly even more awesome too!...
