If you've played Life is Strange 1, then I can definitely recommend Double Exposure.

It is in every way a sequel to the original, with more of the same. Intriguing gameplay, and story will bring you back into the Life is Strange world as Max Caulfield, the protaganist of the original Life is Strange game.

I won't delve into spoilers, but it definitely scratched the itch that the other games in the Life is Strange franchise didn't quite get.

I've played it for about 2 hours, and I can say that it is a solid recreation of the Super Mario Bros 3 gameplay, with some extra twists, and story to back it up.

If that's what you're looking for, then I'd definitely recommend checking it out, especially at that price point.

Plus, it has a handful of mini-games, and a level editor! I can see myself getting countless hours out of it.

This game made me laugh harder than I have in years.

It also made me cry harder than I have in years.

All-in-all, I highly recommend it to any group of 4 friends that want to test their bonds.

Helldivers 2 is a fun multiplayer game. Whether you have friends to play it with, or just group up with random players, it's a solid experience, with a [mostly] friendly community.

There's a controversy over PSN Account Linking, but regardless of that, the game is solid, and worth playing in my opinion.

I would describe this game as "Stupid Fun", as long as you're playing with friends.

It's like a mini golf racing game... no, it IS a mini golf racing game.

Add in a few of the in-game mods, and you're in for a fun time, every time.

I'll start this review off with saying that I'm typically very picky with my visual novels. They are often huge time sinks. While often enjoyable, the hours tend to just fly by when reading one.

That said, this one really appealed to me. I read that it was less than 10 hours for a typical run, and was centered around saying goodbye to your established friends and leaving your hometown.

Really, it's not a concept I see at all in visual novels, so I had to give it a go. Especially at that price!

The story is an interesting tale, and honestly, if I say too much, I could very easily ruin it.

It's a free, 7-9 hour experience. I highly recommend giving it a try.

I have no regrets, and I look forward to seeing what else the creators may put out in the future.

Based on early footage, I would definitely not recommend this game.

However, given the many months to polish the gameplay, and fix glitches, I think that Cyberpunk 2077 is now in an entirely playable state on PC.

It is not perfect by any means, and it certainly lacks (a lot of) the things that were promised in the various trailers and press releases, but I would consider it a fairly decent FPS Action RPG.

Overall, I enjoyed the game, and while I would not typically have reviewed it, Steam Awards are a thing, so...

I cannot do this game review justice without spoilers, so I will simply leave it at this.

It is an interesting visual novel. The genre tags do not lie.

It was worth the cost I paid for it ($9, I believe).

This is one of the most enjoyable stories in a game I've played in years. To be honest, to reveal anything about the characters or story would spoil the game. My simple recommendation is to play it; buy it on sale, and play it. It's worth the experience.

This is a review I'm going to keep short and sweet.

Life is Strange is a good game.

The End.

...

...

Okay, maybe not quite that short.

Life is Strange is an interactive story-style game in the realm of the Telltale Series, where your decisions in game will have an impact; other characters will remember your actions, and it may come back to help, or bite you, in the future... all with a twist.

For me, the game was all about the journey, not the destination. I've always been a fan of games where time travel or alternate realities exist; the creator's take on such things is almost always interesting. And it is certainly no different with Life is Strange.

So, I shall stand by my initial statent. Life is Strange is a good game; if you like the Telltale-style of games, you should definitely give it a try.
