I really enjoyed playing this game as a whole and collecting all the memories and collectibles, even though some were well hidden. I consider the fact that the game has two endings to be a good thing as the player is given the option to choose between their family or the bear friend. Only things i slightly disliked is the turning because i kept missing frogs and other prey because of it, and the fact that it doesn't have chapter selection after completing the game, which would make achievement hunting easier. Overall, the game got me emotional, especially when the cub was lost as well as when saying the final goodbye to either the cub's family or friend, I definitely recommend it to people who enjoy animal games like this

This is the first Assassin's Creed game that i have ever played so it was a completely new experience to me since i don't usually play games like this. Honestly i really liked everything - from the graphics, to the abilites and story. I found the main story to be interesting and so i even bought the season pass and i don't regret it at all. Although for me it was a bit of too much exploration i still enjoyed it, even getting all the trophies was fun. However, i must admit that the Fate of Atlantis dlc was a bit confusing story-wise but broadly speaking, it was decent. One thing i disliked about the game is that the DLCs are required for 100% achievement completion so it obligates people to buy them. Overall, it was quite a good - and long - experience and i am looking forward to trying more AC games in the future

Acquiring all the achievements was fun but also tricky and annoying at times but i sure enjoyed the levels as well as the hidden rooms. Will definitely get HFF2 when it comes out

While this is a remaster of the original game which offers a lot of QoL improvements and new content, it's not especially different than ARK: SE yet. Performance wise it's significantly worse for most PC -and even console- systems as there's FPS drops (assuming you get more than 30fps in the first place) , even after all this time and patches, the performance has not improved by a lot. It's true that the graphics of everything has improved, including the dinos, structures, resources, and everything. However, micro transactions are now a thing. Paid mods, creatures that you can interact with and tame only if you buy them, and DLCs such as bob's tales which only adds new structures, skins and allows you to tame specific dinos -but it definitely is overpriced for what it offers-. The base game itself is overpriced for the little new content that was added to it compared to what ARK:SE already has and so, i don't recommend it for old players who play singleplayer or dont play often. I do recommend it for people who enjoy playing on officials, new players who dont already own ARK: SE, as well as players who dont ever go outside. The only reason why i chose to leave a positive review is because it's my comfort game

PS: Dont buy ARK Aquatica, it's FULLY developed by Snail games

Great game to spend quality time with someone who is special to you, this game teaches a valuable lesson for both

Pretty good graphics and story for a 2D game. The music, the sound, the darkness, as well as the changes of the scene is what makes it horror. The story is about trying to find Hope. You have to play the first game before this to understand what's going on, as the story shows the consequences of Price's actions and how he tries to let go of his past and live again without his guilt making him feel like a horrible person. Throughout the game Price interacts with his emotions and tries to get his humanity back so he can be himself again. I definitely recommend it if you have already played the first DISTRAINT

You can customize the cubs' color at the start. Getting every ability was a bit tricky, i didn't get the "dangle" one the first time i played it. There's two endings, they're not very different though, the first is with the badger being present, and in the other it's not, which one you get depends on if you help it during the game. The story was pretty good and sad, it's a game that can definitely help raise environmental awareness as the environment slowly becomes more and more polluted and contaminated during the game. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but i sure recommend giving it a chance

This game has absolutely no player base. No more than 10 players will be online and that's in the best case scenario. If there happens to be 2-4 players online the server will certainly be private and locked. I spent 1 whole hour trying to find a server without any success. No point in buying it.

Cute

Chill game, just like the first and second cute cats it has easy to get achievements, however, it has limited profile features
