I only recommend Game of Thrones fans looking for a good story to pick this game up. The combat was okay and the rest of the game mechanics were average, but the story is what drove me to finish the game.

Just Cause 3 regularly goes on sale for a nice price with all of its dlc. I recommend picking it up when it's on sale. Fun gameplay and the graphics were satisfying to look at, but the big northern island has a lot of empty spots, which did put a damper on the experience for me. However, the dlcs, especially the jetpack, made the game more fun and the jetpack made traveling entertaining. Personally, I enjoyed Just Cause 2 more overall, but this one was pretty good.

Nice graphics and decent gameplay, but I found the story really boring, mainly due to Trinity. I wasn't really interested in them and they have a big role in the main story. In addition, the game has, in my opinion, too many collectables and I started ignoring them after a while. I can't really recommend picking up this game, but it might be worth it on sale.

It was an enjoyable game to play through back when I played it about seven years ago. It seems to go on sale for less than $5 often, making it a worthwhile purchase.

The combat is really fun and there's a good variety of classes to play as. The world did feel a bit empty at times and the story only got interesting towards the end. However, a good amount of content unlocks after finishing the main story, giving you a lot of content to play through. Overall, I highly recommend picking this game up.

I really enjoyed playing through this game and experiencing the story. It has an interesting control scheme, in which each joystick controls one of the brothers. I recommend picking this game up.

Fantastic game. It's worth playing for the story.

A short, sweet story. About 1 to 2 hours long. Just be aware there is no dialogue, but with the way the story is presented, I don't think dialogue was needed.

Solid game. It has great graphics, the best combat out of all of the arkham games and an interesting storyline. Traveling around the map was enjoyable. I was a bit disappointed with the boss battles, but they weren't too bad. I didn't really play the challenge mode so I cannot comment on that.

I recommend picking up the premium edition, mainly for the Season of Infamy and A Matter of Family dlcs. The other dlcs that are included are a nice bonus.

Pros

• Fantastic story, filled with many different choices that can affect your next encounter or even the ending
  
• You can upgrade your camp and explore the world to upgrade your deck
  
• If you play multiplayer Gwent, you can get a lot of rewards for it, including premium cards, border, avatars, titles and reward points
  
• A lot of the side quests have interesting storylines and have multiple choices that can affect the outcome
  
• Puzzle battles are fun to solve
  
• Solid art style and presentation

Cons

• The starting run speed on the world map felt sluggish, but it felt okay after upgrading it in the camp
  
• Effects can be quite extreme compared to the multiplayer version of Gwent, for both you and the enemies. For example, the enemy can more than 5 copies of the same card and summon them every turn if they still have copies in their deck or they can draw cards with their leader ability. Your deck, depending on what cards you have, can summon multiple cards from your deck and can set enemy rows on fire, causing significant damage to them every turn.

Comments
I recommend the game for the storyline alone. A significant amount of the choices I made mattered and it affected a future event, the reward I received or even the ending. I also recommend the game if you play multiplayer Gwent for the rewards. While I enjoyed the puzzle battles, I did not enjoy the regular Gwent battles since it felt swingy. Quite a few effects would be going off on both sides and it felt tedious after a while.
