Awesome game!

If you like CRPG's you got to give it a go! You won't be disappointed.

Finally a good Star Wars game and published by EA of all companies. Wow, I thought I never would say/write that. I kind of feel dirty now.

The game is using the Unreal engine and not the terrible Frostbite one (thank god), which is a plus in my book.

Seriously though, this might be the best Star Wars game after the Force Unleashed 1&2.

Story is decent.
Lightsaber combat is fun.
Graphics and sounds/voice-acting are good.

Some final warnings which might put you off.

1: You still need to use Origin to a limited degree (why EA?)
2: The game stutters here and there, which can be annoying.

Grumpy grandpa bad, game good.
Still don't know if the Inquisitor squats down in the woods though.

It used to be terrible, got me a refund on GOG. After the "Next" update did buy it again on Steam and it has improved immensely.

The game should still come with some buyers beware warnings but after the Beyond update I can recommend this title. Beyond released pretty buggy, but Hello Games has been beating out the bugs week after week and it has become better and better. It's quite te unique little game.

Worth a buy on a sale if you're into this kind of game, because it's not for everyone and at the full price it's a bit too expensive I think.

I just don't get why this got all the praise it got. Thank God I only payed 2 Euros for this at a sale.

The actress did a fine job but the looking at 5 second clips of 90's VHS quality footage trying to figuer out the crime mystery wasn't a fun experience for me. Hell... I'm the kind of person that like to watch low sound quality 2 hour police interview footage on Youtube for fun, so naturally I thought this would be right up my ally; but no.

I guess it just isn't for me.

If you are the kind of person that likes to guess keywords for a terrible video database and then try to wrap your head around what the order is of the videos to "solve" the crime then go ahead and knock yourself out.

If you're into building spacecraft and bases etc and don't mind resource gathering then this one is pretty good.
The game isn't much of a looker, not that it looks bad (it looks serviceable) but I can see this game getting very addictive.

Looks great, Runs great and plays great.
This is quite possibly the best Total War ever made along side with Total War: Warhammer 2.

I was looking forward to a Total War that had a little flavor of Crusader Kings 2 and this is a very good attempt to do just that with Total War: Three Kingdoms. While it might not be as intricate as CK2, a CK2-lite with the Total War battles is just a golden combination.

Well played CA!

The game reminds me of the old classic B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th a bit in a way, but a lot more casual and user-friendly. This is not a bad thing. I like this game a lot. It is very charming and challenging at the same time.

The gameplay loop is about managing your Bomber and her crew and do a variaty of missions to earn money to spend on upgrades of your bomber and crew. Crew leveling is also a thing, although don't expect this bit to be very complicated with skill trees. You do have some choice for secondary skills but it isn't complicated or confusing.

It runs on any system; so even when you still use that good old patato to run your games, this one might work for you as well plus the game is bloody cheap.
There is no blood or any gore so this game is good for your kid as well if you don't mind the very light WW2 theme of it.


TLDR: Yes the game is fun. It is criminally underpriced and it runs on any system, so why don't you own it?

A fun Jurassic Park management game with awesome graphics and sounds, but sadly with some imperfections.
The imperfections doesn't hurt the overal experience for me so it's only a minor gripe that needs to get fixed.

The Good:

- Creating your own Jurassic Park.
- The dinos, how they look, sound and move is top notch.
- Providing for specific needs for each spieces or otherwise "life will find a way" a.k.a. rampage will ensue.
- Research unlocks for buildings, improve the skill of your staff and unlock stat upgrades for you dinos.
- Manage weather conditions to prevent for your park to fail.
- A relaxing game for after a hard day of work (might be a considered as a bad thing for a specific kind of gamer)
- The game is very well optimized

The bad.

- Camera bugs when using mouse control (sometimes the camera gets stuck and rolls in a certain direction, fix that please)
- A lack of park costumisation. It doesn't have anything like Planet Coaster to make your park feel unique.
- Limited Guest kill animation (perhaps one per dino, which is very lackluster)
- Lack of interaction with the guests of your park other then getting them eaten when a breakout occurs or for lolz.
- No random island generation. You're stuck with the same 6 Islands (one of them is the Sand Box Island).
- Some random small bugs/lack of polish.

I would rate this game a 7/10.
A fun game that has room for improvement, but might be a little too expensive for what you get.

Motorsport Manager is a must have for every open-wheel race fan that is looking for a game where you take the reins of your own raceing team.

Car- and part development, hiring and firing of drivers/staff, building up the facilities, getting sponsors and live out your fantasy of being Christian Horner or Maurizio Arrivabene on the pit-wall.

So far the experience is very good and a decent Formula 1-ish (the game hasn't got the official license) manager game was long overdue. If you're looking for such a game, then look no further because you've found it.

A personal story of me being the lowest tier and low ranked team manager trying to get my team to score those valuable championship points. During the race one of my drivers that was driving in a very respectable 6th place suffered from a couple of faulty parts that where in danger of breaking down. Because I didn't wanted to concede my 6th place I decided to roll the dice and keep him out on the track instead of pitting; which was a mistake. 1 laps until the checkered flag the engine coughed out a plume of smoke and the car came down to a crawl. 16th place it was and my driver was not best pleased which he let me know on the radio.
