The amount of content you get for $60 here is incredible.

Great voice acting.

Firewatch is a simple, story driven game. Yet, the story is what makes it good. There's not a lot of action, and yes, you walk a lot. However, it's relaxing and I enjoyed how a very simple setting could make for a good story.

In all honesty, Undertale is probably my favorite video game of all time. I've never had a game effect me in such a way like this game did. It's charming, it's hilarious, it's heart-breaking, and it's unique, so unique. The gameplay can get challenging and repetitive, but it's still designed in a way that you can practice it and achieve your goal. I can't remember the last time I legitimatley practiced to beat a boss. Hell, I still haven't beat Sans (he's just ridiculous). When I completed this game, I continued to think about it for days. I fell in love with the story, the characters, and the setting. I just can't think of another game that has stuck in my head like this.

Pros:
-You will fall in love with these characters
-Different story modes
-The soundtrack is so incredible that I bought it
-A story that's somehow cute, funny, mature, and sad


Cons:
-When it comes to the bosses, you might end up just memorizing long patterns to win

I've put a lot of hours into this game and I think I'm ready to give my thoughts. I love this game, but I think there's a lot of room for it to grow. I bought Stardew Valley day one after seeing the trailer and wanting to fill the Harvest Moon-sized hole in my heart. This game is a Harvest Moon clone, straight up. Okay, I'm not sure how many differnt ways you can make a farm game, but it's matching my memories from Harvest Moon perfectly. That's not a bad thing. This is a cute, fun, addictive game that I find myself coming back to every couple of days. I can't wait for more content (multiplayer!) to be added.

Pros:
-Making a farm is fun, turns out
-Great art style
-Good music
-Lots of farm custimization
-Side quests

Cons:
-I'm at the point where I'm rich, married, and there's nothing left for me to buy
-You COULD make a giant farm and make it really intricate, but once I got the greenhouse I never felt compelled to because that gave me plenty of gold

I'm just finishing up this game and I have thoroughly enjoyed it each step of the way. I'm a sucker for murder mysteries, so I've been wanting to give this game a shot. I had a lot of fun figuring out the mysteries for myself and even being wrong when plot twists came up. I absolutley recommend buying this game and I'm looking forward to playing the sequel.

Pros:
-The mysteries are never straightforward, but not crazy enough that you can't figure out "who dunnit"
-This soundtrack is incredible
-Lots of unique characters each with their own story

Cons:
-I felt a little limited by the fact that the game is scripted. I couldn't commit any murders and I never felt in any "danger" at any point in the game because I just figured I'd make it till the end
-The trial process is really thurough. It's not really bad, but you end up going thorough the entire murder story several times

I didn't quite like this as much as Fallout 3, but that's probably due to the setting. The Mojave just seems so empty. Where I enjoyed the wondering in Fallout 3, it seemed like a chore here (those cazadores might be to blame). Good RPG elements and gampleay have been improved so you can somehwat actually fight without V.A.T.S. I can say that I enjoyed a lot of the side quests and all of the different factions you can work with.
