List items

  • Slept on this one during 2018 but wow... I'm impressed with the game play, exploration, and dare I say it... the story... in this intriguing survival game.

    Edit (after 25 hours)... well this is deeply intriguing, peaceful, yet also at times incredibly intense. The depth (no pun intended) of this experience is really amazing.

    The first survival game that I've really had a stand out experience with. The best one of these kinds of games.

    EDIT (upon completion) ... wow... this game really sucked me in and hooked me in a way that I would never have expected from a survival game. I would universally recommend this game... and further than that would recommend persevering with it through the early stages.

    This game genuinely has a dark souls like quality when it comes to adventuring into the dangerous unknown with significant penalty to death.

  • Giving this one a whirl before RE2 remake turns up. The opening train sequence is pretty decent.

  • Multiple playthroughs.

    5/5

    Excellent remake 5/5 Gosh this really was very, very good. I did not care for the timed mode unlockables but that's not a problem for me. The replayability of the core game was very, very high. I played this through seven times before calling it a day. Excellent.

  • Pretty engaging war stories. I liked these quite a bit.

    The multiplayer isn't bad either but I don't think I have the time for it.

  • This continues to be the only game I have multiplayer time for. Diminishing time at that.

  • Inspired to revisit following the excellent experience I had with RE2. Making slow progress through it. It is... ok.

  • Half Life 2, the post-apocalypse Russia version - without aliens but with travel buddies. Often very engaging. Some minor jank (including the game crashing bugs which are at least are somewhat offset in their capacity to ruin the experience by the game's regular autosaving) Enjoyable though. Outstanging in many exlements of its visual design. The narrative part of the story overall is a big improvement on the last Metro game. The Caspian level has a mad max vibe that mostly works, whereas, the Taiga level toward the back end of the story is less effective with its ham fisted attempt at a lord of the flies local history that feels more like a Fallout 4 DLC in tone compared to the relentlessly bleak tone of the rest of the game. Perhaps there is some narrative intent in this but for me the ideas in this section just didn't fit in well with the rest of the Metro universe. The game gets back on track by the end area though, where I really think it did very well (better than the previous two games even) 4/5

  • An intriguing concept and one that I think a small proportion of gamers will really, really enjoy. I want to be in that group but haven't joined it yet. So far I've picked this up twice and put it down again after an hour each time.

  • Engrossing puzzler that has a hokey mysticism narrative that gives it a little bit of extra atmosphere. Enjoyable.

  • Playing this on IPad. Interesting point and click adventure game with some neat choice-feedback RPG elements for the player character and an intriguing AI post-apocalypse world environment as the setting.

    This is a good one of these kinds of games. The voice over acting quality is good. The dialogue is good. The character development is better than average. The plot is interesting without being exceptional.

    This is a decent game. I played it on iPad and the interface was intuitive and well implemented.

    3/5

  • Atmosphere 10/10.

    Story 7/10.

    Gameplay 6/10.

    Overall a low 4/5. Memorable for the tension and creepiness of the station and the premise.

  • This starts a little slowly but very soon hooks you in with its mysteries, exploration, and ultimately narrative.

    4/5

  • Playing Subnautica earlier this year switched me on, for the first time, as to how well the crafting/survival genre can deliver an engaging story, and in particular the satisfying way that a layered (and gated) environmental mystery is satisfying to uncover and unravel when coupled with those crafting/survival mechanics. The final release version of the Forest feels like a perfect example of how this can all work together.

    Subnautica is better though. Just about.

    4/5

  • Playing on iOS

  • Compelling and well made. I have played several campaign maps to completion and am yet to try the sandbox mode but overall I am really enjoying the Civ meets XCom in a grand Space Opera setting style.

    Feeling 4/5 right now... could become 5/5

  • Dropping back into this on the X1X

    In 2019, three years after release, this has become a rather good game. It has a meditative quality. The perfect second screen activity perhaps?

    Once again though. I've dropped off it after a couple of dozen hours. It's good but there's still something not grabbing me completely about it.

  • This is a very enjoyable game with a well realized X-filesy premise. It falls a little short of being outstanding but it is extremely well made. Especially the visual effects - which are astonishing!

    The story is fascinating in the first third. The gameplay is compelling the second third. Everything loses intensity in the final third. Overall, this is worth the time it takes to complete the main story. Some of the optional secondary quests are among the best the game has to offer - so really it is up to you how deep you go with all that. 4/5

  • Atmospheric. Intriguing. Grindy. Enjoyable. Hard. Soulsy. Very good.

  • Enjoyable - well made. Needed to go a bit deeper than it did.

    4/5

  • A JOY

    A PLEASURE

    5/5

  • Gosh this is absorbing! Real surprise.

    Tomb Raider meets Dark Souls

    5/5

  • 3/5

@rand0mzer00: you really won't be disappointed. It has a nice learning (and addiction) curve to it.
