This game took me 2 hours to beat first off, and I really do look at this game more as an interactive movie than a traditional game. There are puzzles and some light platforming but for the most part it is on rails and you just follow one mostly clear path. The thing that drives you is the narrative being played throughout your journey.

The developers should be thankful they had a great writer, this is a quality game because it is so engrossing, the developers were good enough to also include a VR version which I tried but had to stop after a while because I just can't do horror in VR.

The ending is extremely well done, I can't spoil it but it is worth the journey. Overall a well made game with great story and graphics. 20$ is a bit much to ask for a 2 hour experience, I'd recommend it at 10$ or under since it's about the entertainment of a movie.

Strangely wasn't as funny as accounting but still had some good moments. Took me about an hour to beat it, I wasn't intentionally trying to blow through it or anything. With that in mind I can't recommend it at this price, but I still recommend getting the game if you find it on sale or have some money to blow. It's basically job simulator, with a rick and morty skin, BUT the humor was great and it was fun the time it did last.

Incredible return to form for the series, scariest game I've ever played and loving every second of it somehow. Cannot recommend this enough.

Fairly quick tech demo doesn't take long to find all the content, but for a free game you can't ask much more. Makes you wish for a more fully developed game! That said the graphics are beautiful, and some spells are really fun, the gateways to other worlds are downright intimidating. Really cool stuff, worth a play.

Trust me, as an English major, this game is porn. If you enjoy literature, play this. Now.

Incredible game, this might actually be the first video game licenced from an Intellectual Property that truly looks 1:1 like the show. This really is like sitting back and controlling an episode of south park, Obsidian did a great job of taking the original Maya assets from Matt and Trey and putting them into a video game. The writing is entirely done by Matt and Trey, and because of that the game is laugh out loud funny.

As for the gameplay, think old school final fantasy mixed with super mario RPG or paper mario. There are summons, items, magic, attacks, timed blocks and attacks, and it is all turn based. Nothing too deep or over the top but most importantly it is FUN.

If you enjoy South Park at all you will enjoy the game, if you're a big fan you're going to absolutely want to pick this up, best news it will probably run on anything made after 2005. Can't recommend this enough!!!

Can't recommend this enough. If you're a fan of the class Thief games you will absolutely find a lot of love here. Fear not, the story is complex and deep for those who care to listen, the loss of the jump button is hardly noticed considering the contextual jumps are really just as smooth as a normal jump, and I'm surprised to say although I will always miss Garrett's original voice actor, the new one does a great job too.

The only thing that bugged me in this game was the overworld map, way too many loading screens although at max they were 10 seconds.

Finally all the good things:

Stealing feels great, it never gets old watching yourself reach out and really grab the things you're stealing.

Controls are very tight, everything feels good.

Funny Dialogue, great one liners.

The scary level is really scary.

The UI and difficulty levels are completely customizable, there is no excuse for complaining about mechanics because almost everything is able to be turned on or off. You want a completely clean UI with no world indicators? You can have it.

This still feels like thief. The most important thing is that is still plays like the old thief games, you will absolutely get the nostalgia you're looking for if you played the other games, and the great experience of just being a steathy badass.

Thief is back!

The arms deal update really took this game to the next level. I finally feel it is worthy of being called the successor to CS:S. With the new skins, ranking system, and addictive gameplay; it is well worth buying even if you were a CS 1.6 fan. Take the time to set up your crosshair, your graphics settings, and your ping / latency settings, if you don't you'll be dying a ton. Look up some vids on youtube for pointers.

Really addicting and fun, also the concept is hilarious, well worth the mola.

Just the best first person shooter out, screw everything else. Been playing since beta, still love it.
