To my fellow lesbians, you gotta play this game, if no other reason than the fact that you can be a lesbian vampire in a wholesome relationship with a cute succubus.

bought the game because I was hopelessly gay for Karlach

stayed because I found out I liked DnD (and because I am still hopelessly gay for Karlach)

So after a few hours of game-time I finally create a federation with my allies. Soon after, I encountered a hostile species that detests my philosophies. Being the more powerful party, I chose to insult and declare war on them. My allies then got pissed and left the federation because they were pacifists. I lost the war after that.

10/10 would alienate your alien allies again.

The only RPG I know of where you can go to a barber shop in Novigrad and get kicked out by a drunken barber who refuses to cut your hair no matter how much you pay him. I can only describe that moment as pure art.

My friends and I grew up playing this game. Praise Gaben for blessing the world with this treasure of a game. 10/10 would votekick cappers on Hightower again

Perhaps the greatest game on the face of the planet. All hail our lords Jebediah Kerman and Scott Manley. 10/10 would do it for science again.

I have noticed a lot of reviews complaining about the DRM and the developer's methods for releasing the summer episode (which I have to admit is pretty horrible). Personally, I have only had connectivity issues about four times in total, and I am not too upset at IO for their business practices. Regardless, this game is simply amazing. It maintains the mechanics that made Absolution a great experience while also expanding upon the open-ended nature from Blood-Money and Silent Assassin. The graphic are simply stunning, even on my 2gb gtx 960. And honestly, I don't have much of an issue with the episodic release system (aside from the summer episode screw-up). Overall, if you are a fan of the Hitman Franchise or starting out for the first time, I think you will find this game quite appealing.

UPDATE: I am hyped for Seasons 2 & 3! This current season has already been fantastic for me, and I can't wait to see what IO has in store for the future.

I bought this way back when the original boss of the tutorial missions was Dreadwing the Penguin. At the time, I got bored with the game and uninstalled it. However, I decided to get back into it while waiting for No Man's Sky, and I was astonished by how much the game had changed. The vast and nearly infinte universe, the interesting story arc, and the many playstyles that exist showcase the game's greatest strengths. Additionally, the ease of adding in modded content also enriches the base game. Also, the soundtrack of the game was quite something to behold, and stands second only to FTL in my opinion. Even though I may switch to No Man's Sky for my fix of Space Exploration, there is still a certain charm to Starbound that I feel will keep me playing it alongside NMS.

EDIT: Well now after NMS released and sucked, I guess I will be playing this xD

The modding community for this game is spectacular. Overhauls like Star Trek Armada III not only strengthen the already amazing base game, but also add whole new ways to enjoy this game.
