I cannot recommend this game at all. I loved Payday 2, and this game showed some promise, but the lack of solo play or private lobbies is utterly ridiculous, and I cannot understand what they were thinking. On top of this, the matchmaking servers are offline or just broken about 50% of the time, sometimes requiring over an hour to get a single heist connected.

Very disappointing.

Great game with tons of atmosphere, great music and a solid story.

Unfortunately this was a disappointing horror experience after the success of the first Outlast game. Messy and cliche story telling, reliance on scripted scares, and generally promoting a run around until you click the right activatable style of playing. It had moments of great atmosphere and genuine fear, but it also had moments of frustration and boredom in equal measure.

A very good game, but also not the Fallout game I was hoping it would be. I still recommend it as it is a lot of fun and well worth the money, but the dialogue in the game limits it quite badly.

A truly remarkable RPG in its own right, and a worthy successor to The Witcher. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has kept the story and atmosphere that made the first game such a cult classic but with a far superior engine.

A reasonably good horror game. It is easy to lose the plot a little but it almost does not matter as it is pretty obvious your aim is to find someone and not die in the process. Beyond that the atmosphere is great and the scares are well delivered. It tends to build up the tension slowly, allowing you to wind yourself up more and more until the game feels ready to jump out on you and see if you snap.

My play through was pretty short, but I am told there are a number things I missed and it is possible another play through would let me find some different areas.

If you love horror games this is a must have game really, but keep your expectations at a mid level.

The Witcher manages to be one of the best RPGs that I have played in spite of many little flaws. There are times the game will frustrate you in minor ways, and yet the game deserves the cult classic status it enjoys. The story is dark and engaging, the world is deep and lore filled, and the moral ambiguity will have you racked with doubt about the choices you have made. But make no mistake, you will make choices in this game, and you will have to bear the responsibility those choices bring.

If you dont mind working through a clumsy interface, and like a game that makes you work for it: The Witcher: Enhanced Directors Cut may be the game for you.

This game is a lot of fun. The graphical style is awesome and the music, ambient sound and narrator dialogue are all near perfect. But what I love about this game is that it feels like a finished game, and for an early access game that is a great achievement. It manages to deliver a polished, playable and (above all else) fun gaming experience. Big game publishers should take note: This game is in a better state than many triple A titles are at release. And it is early access!

This is how early access should be done. See my full review : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJToNMkgJ5g

Not a ground breaking game, and it competes in a massively over saturated genre, but Dying Light is a polished and solid game that is a lot of fun to play.

The first game started out scary and ended up more than a little frustrating, but I recommended it because it was a unique experience that I was glad to have had. Unfortunately for me, Five Nights at Freddy's 2, feels like the exact same game with only minor differences that do little to change the experience. The jump scares seemed more predictable, and thus were not remotely scary, and the mechanics came down to once again pressing buttons and clicking the mouse in the right places as fast as possible without making a mistake.

If you loved Five Nights at Freddy's, you will probably love this game as it really is more of the same. But for me, it is one to miss.
