Another epic story to Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro universe.
If the other games weren't immersive enough, they came up with a VR one.
Focusing on one of the best characters of the franchise -- Khan --, Metro Awakening is out to provide us with an unique game that delivers a great story with awesome gameplay and visuals.

The game still is under development, though, it already delivers a lot. I love building some Jarl's longhouses while drinking mead, hunting boar and running from trolls with my friends. Also, the atmosphere of this game is incredible. Walking through the blackforest during the sunset is amazing.

If you like war vehicles, this is the game. Only thing is that you'll have to put some time into this to get all of them, if you don't want to speed up their research by paying real money.
Constant updates and new vehicles.
Beware.

First of all, lots of pewpewpew!
Second, you can always find a full server to play, some days it's a bit harder, depending on the type of match you want to play, but overall there's always people playing and it is really fun.
Brings back the vibes from the old BFII but with better graphics and modern engine. Even cooler to play with friends and bring order to the Empire.

Two Colonels is an awesome DLC, not only brings back the mood of the older Metros, but it also dives deeper into the story of Exodus in a whole new perspective. I really got attached to the main character and how his story impacts on the main game. The DLC has many cutscenes, some of them are interactive, but the more you advance in the story, the more intense it gets, I couldn't stop playing it until i've finished it. Metro's DLCs never were too much extensive, but they've always gave great experiences, tiny stories that added a lot to this universe. I think that Two Colonels is very fair on its length, and gives what it was intended to. A must have for the fans and new players.

This game is great! I've pre-ordered it and don't regret my choice, the creatures are awesome, the species in the game are some of the best representations of dinos in games, their skins, animations and behavior, almost 50 species, even if you don't want to pay for the DLCs (those btw, Dr. Wu and Claire's are a must have, the dino packs are only if you're really mad about dinos), is a fair number of creatures you can breed, and with the latest updates - terrain tools, tour rides, dinosaur behavior improvement - you can get your parks even more unique. The management system is fine, and the time of managing your park finances and sick dinos and enjoying it on a first person view is very balanced. Also, it is a VERY optimized game, even with such good graphics and information to process - dinos, crowd, forests, weather, etc. - it runs very smoothly (i use a GTX750ti, i5 and 16GB RAM).

The devs are very responsive to the community, and it's been a year since the game was released and they're still updating it and making more contents, it is a very complete game, the campaign is good, there is sandbox mode and also challenge to keep up the replayability. One of my actual favorites!

Despite all controversy about its launching and i thought that the publisher's decision was unfair for those Steam customers who were planning to buy it on release, 4A team did a masterpiece. This game is art. They've made something uniquely beautiful from that abandoned post apocalyptic world, and there is a high attention to details, that even with my not so PC Config (GTX750ti, 16GB RAM, i5-6400, Win7 Pro - Medium Settings), i'm enjoying every take.

Finished the first playthrough in more than 40 hours, exploring almost every corner of the maps. Haven't got all collectibles yet, so for sure will play it at least two more times. The story was very touching and emotional, as the characters felt so real with their own story, making you worry for them. Details like playing the guitar, drinking, listening to others' life stories as you develop your own with them (even if they aren't part of the crew - as when you meet some lonely people in this wasteland), puts you into something that surpasses the concept of only a game. 11/10.

It's not a RPG/Open World like Fallout, although its sandbox levels are huge and there is a lot of stuff to do, great missions, lots of exploration, combat with mutants and humans, and else. Also, the game mechanics are great: the crafting system, dirt in weapons, your playstyle influencing the course of the game and much more that grants a high level of immersion and realism. And like the previous games, the story is fantastic.

The DLC is simply amazing, despite being short, adds a new level to the story. And surely the stuff coming in the near future will be outstanding as well.

If you're looking for an story driven immersive shooter with open world characteristics, this is your game. For those complaining about publisher's decisions or are still in doubt if should or not buy it, don't loose time when it comes again for Steam Store! You'll surely enjoy hours on it! 4A team deserves more than congratulations for all their work and care for the series (which i also strongly recommend if you haven't playe it yet! Metro 2033 and Last Light are classics, and two unforgettable experiences), bringing the amazing world of Glukhovsky's novels for us to explore, may they have success and continue to make games like this!

A very dynamic WW2 RTS game, it remembers a bit the C&C style of playing. The expansions add much more fun to the battles 'cause you can also play as Brits, Americans or the late-war Germany. With amazing interactiveness with the environment - blow houses which the enemy has men inside, frozen lakes that could have your tank drowned, cold weather that affects your troops, it will make you lose a huge time on the battlefield. Try different strategies, play with different countries, despite of having an in-game store that could make some players better in MP, I really recommend this game for every RTS lover.

Swords, magic, dragons, astonishing environments, many quests, crafting, shouts, more beautiful places, mix poison, Sweet Roll and RIDING DRAGONS. Just for that it deserves more players and awards!

I've been playing Homeworld since it was first launched in 1999 and it's still one of, if not THE best, best strategy games. With tridimensional space to make your strategies, lots of nice designed ships, it´s story is awesome and it's environments outstanding. With Remastered Collection, Homeworld's stories are revived with all the ships looking as awesome as ever, moving around in a more immersive and beautiful environment of all universe.
