For fans of Robocop you'll love this game. it's a nice faithful recreation of the Robocop universe.

The graphics are pretty decent, and using the new UE5 engine.

There's nothing quite like playing as Robocop, the pacing in places can be a bit slow, and some of the side quests do become a little repetitive, and likewise the slow plodding pace of Robocop might not be to everyone's taste. If you put those aside you do get left with a decent game, that's worth the time to play.

All of the achievements can be got in a single play through with no need to play on stupidly hard levels in order to unlock, I would recommend playing on hard for a slightly harder challenge, the boss battles can be a little annoying on hard, but they're still doable, although if you find it challenging you can always knock the difficulty down without penalty.

My biggest gripe is with the saves, there are no manual saves and you're reliant on the autosaves, which aren't that obvious when they're happening, so you have to quickly check the savers to see the timestamp before you log off, otherwise you can find yourself having to redo bits again.

The gun play is good, some weapons are better than others, and with the right PCB the only gun you'll end up using is the Auto-9. The game could do a little better explaining how the chips work on the PCB's and also about the chip merging, once you get the hang of it, it's quote easy to update. One thing to note the Weapon Spray is the only one you want to keep a low % modifier on.

It's worth picking up outside of a sale, but if it's in a sale then it should be an instant buy.

If you played the TMNT games originally in the Arcades then this will be a great nostalgia trip for you.

The game isn't perfect by any means, but it is fun, especially if you've got a friend to play cvo-op with, it is better played with a controller over mouse and k/b and some of the challenges are on the hard to borderline not doable scale.

Apart from a few minor ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the odd crash, the odd glitch, both players not always getting the rewards for the challenges and having to re-do a level just so your friend can get them, it's worth getting especially while it's in the sales

This is what Marvel Avengers should have been, engaging story, great visuals overall a fun game to play.

The gameplay can be a little clunky in places although it doesn't take too long to get used to it, it does feel like it is suited to be played with a controller more than a mouse and K/B, especially when selecting the abilities of the other characters.

If you pick it up in a sale you won't be disappointed and it's worth paying full price if only to support the devs and ask them to make more games like this.

As platformers go this is a pretty decent game, and as a bonus David Hayter voices one of the characters, so what is not to like.

The main game will take about 20 hours to complete, there isn't much of a grind to do in order to complete the main game, although it will help with some of the later bosses and will very much help with the special bosses.

If you want to go for 100% completion then you're looking to put some time in, at least another 15-20 hours, as this is where the grind begins, most of the achievements are quite easy and straightforward to get, some like the 'Complete Item List' will take about 7-10 hours to do (or it did for me, especially as one demon drop took me about 2 hours and 327 kills of that demon to get, this was with my luck set to 102 and a ring that gives a higher item rate drop) That was the worst achievement to get as you need to complete every item in the game, and there's a lot (Recopies, Bullets, All Weapons and Armours and all Demon Item Drops)

Some of the free dlc's have been released, and there's more to come, this game is great value for money, and you will get a lot out of it, especially if you're going for 100% completion (you don't need the IGA dlc to get 100%)

This is definitely not a game to be missed, and should be in everyone's collections, great value, great gameplay, and lots of choices to suit pretty much anyone's playstyle. Constant free updates to this game, just mean it's getting better all the time. Just tell the family that won't be seeing you for a while :)

This is a great little game that has great mechanics.

There is a little back tracking here and there once you've unlocked a few more skills, but nothing that makes it feel like a chore.

Trying to 100% will take a little longer, but is quite doable, and there's the DLC to come plus Supraland 2

I had a lot of fun playing this, some of the puzzles took me a little longer to work out that others, but with most of them it's a case of stand back have a think and you'll get there in the end, and if all else fails youtube :)

If you haven't picked it up, it's a worthy addition to any steam collection, the story is amusing although it's not going to hit any emotional highs, but it's engaging enough to make you want to see if through to the end.

I wanted to like this game, but after trying to do the first chapter I really can't, the AI is bad, to give an example, trying to close a door so that it could be sealed (blocked)

Player - goes to door, closes door
AI - instantly walks up to door, opens it and stands in it.

Attempt 25
Player - tells the AI to stand 200m away, then closes door
AI - Finally stays put
Player - Forgets that AI has been told to stand in one spot, AI doesn't move and so doesn't support you until told to follow

Most of the initial areas are hoard mode type affairs, except you then turn the power back on and it just becomes an unrelenting swarm of enemies, that after 10 mins of killing you finally realise they're just going to keep coming until you run to the waypoint marked. Expect you can get any health back apart from the medic unit, and you didn't realise that they only had a finite amount of charges, so you die, because no-one can heal and you forgot that you could use the warp thingy to go to a safe zone to restock.

I may go back to it and try it on super easy mode just to get through the Story, but after that I'll most probably remove it.

I really can't recommend this game in it's current state unless you want to play it with friends.

If you've not played this game before, then I suggest you go out and get it.

It comprises of 4 intertwined story lines, that take you on a emtional rollercoaster of a journey.

It's such a beautifully crafted game, that's moving, fun, evocative and thought provoking,

It's a puzzel game, it's an adventure game, it's just pure joy to play, and a game that should be in everyone's steam library's

I played this when it was in the Beta stage, it was a lot of fun.

Sadly since it was released and over time this game has become it's name sake 'Ravaged' and desolate.

There's only one way left for you to enjoy this game, and that's if you can get some friends to buy it and then you can all play it together.

It's a shame as this game did have potential, but for now, there's no-one playing, and if you buy it you're only going to be disapointed.

The only advantage now is that you can get a refund once you find out just how dead this game is.

For a game that came from Kickstarer this is a pretty damn good game, harking back to the good old days when people tried to make FMV games the next best thing.

There's some great acting in this, the storyline is fantastic and really pulls you in. The puzzles are pitched at just the right level, not too difficult but hard enough to make you work for it.

There will be a few people that may find the puzzles a little on the difficult side, and will start reaching for a walkthrough, but if you pay attention to what people say, then you'll be able to work most of it out.

I really hope they make a sequel as they've hinted, as this is one game where I really want to see what happens next, I'd loved to have backed this on KS, but at least I've been able to get it on steam and give back to the team that made it.

Great Work

Simply put this is a beautiful and stunning game.

I'm a big fan of what TellTale did with the Walking Dead series and some of their other episodic games, but this game has just blown me away.

The choices you make impact the story, sometimes subtle changes and sometimes significant.

All I can think right now is I want part 5, and I want to go back and make the choices I didn't make, what happens if I didn't help that person, if I sided with that person, there are so many forks and choices and possibilities.

The writing for the story is spot on, it's pulls you in, and you want to learn more, and discover everything it has to offer.

If you've enjoyed the TT games of late, then to not have this game in your library would be a travisty.

Pro's
- Great Story
- Likeable characters, that you want to invest in
- Choices that matter and affect gameplay

Con's
- Sound glitches - sometimes sound starts to cut out, restart appears to fix this

This is a game that should be in your games library
