Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop is an enhanced version of the original Alien Swarm game, offering the same enjoyable gameplay and graphics, perfect for cooperative play with friends. However, it sets itself apart with significant improvements and added content right from the start.

Reactive Drop provides an abundance of additional content that enriches the gaming experience. Multiple campaigns are available, expanding the variety of missions and challenges players can undertake. Moreover, the addition of player-versus-player (PVP) mode injects competitive excitement into the gameplay, adding a new dimension for those seeking intense battles.

One standout feature of Reactive Drop is the introduction of single-player mode with bots. This allows players to enjoy the game even when their friends are not available, making it a more versatile and accessible experience.

Moreover, the game's thriving modding community has produced an extensive array of fan-made content, offering even more options for players to explore and enjoy. The availability of these community-created mods significantly extends the game's longevity and keeps players engaged with fresh challenges.

In comparison, the original Alien Swarm can be seen as a demo to Reactive Drop, lacking the extensive content and additional features that Reactive Drop offers. It pals in comparison to the fully-fledged experience that Reactive Drop provides.

For achievement hunters: the game has a big list of 186 achievements. I will never understand why some developers choose this many achievements. Still, I've made up my mind to try and fully complete the game sometime in the future. It seems that all of them are at the moment obtainable. I will come back and edit the review after completing the game.

In conclusion, Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop is the ultimate and definitive version of the Alien Swarm concept, delivering the same enjoyable core gameplay with friends, but expanding upon it significantly with a wealth of content, updates, support, PVP mode, single-player capability, and a vibrant modding community. If you loved the original Alien Swarm, you'll be blown away by the depth and excitement Reactive Drop brings to the table.

Once again, TellTale demonstrates their ability to create games based on anything. Who would have expected an adventure game with a story based on... Minecraft?

I haven't tried and probably never will try the original Minecraft game, but still, I enjoyed this adaptation a lot. Although there were several elements that I didn't particularly like in this game, the gameplay and the story were to my taste. Not as "mind-blowing" as other TellTale titles, but still good nonetheless.

I especially enjoyed episodes three and four. In the first two episodes, I wasn't quite as drawn into the story, and the final episode felt somewhat like filler. In my opinion, the game should have concluded with episode four, although I still liked the last episode.

It took me some time to get used to the pixelated artwork, childlike dialogues, and the story's theme, but I truly believe it was worth it. It's evident that the target audience is the youngest, those who naturally play Minecraft, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the game "too." What bothered me the most, however, were the dialogues and character reactions. The fact that more "aggressive" dialogue options were absent in all conversations and the characters seemed devoid of aggression, regardless of the circumstances. But that's clear, as I mentioned before, since the game is primarily intended for a younger audience.

For achievement hunters: the game has 50 achievements. Some of them are missable, but most of them you get by just playing. And the missable ones are really easy to obtain.

Nevertheless, I had a good time for most of the game's duration, and to my surprise, I enjoyed the story and even grew a bit attached to the characters. If I were to compare this title with other TT titles from The Walking Dead onwards, Minecraft would probably be the game I'd recommend second to last (the last being TWD: Michonne, of course). But I'd still recommend it nonetheless.

**Check out my review to Adventure Pass the DLC of Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series.

So, it seems that the last episode of the original game wasn't quite a filler after all, despite what I initially thought. It was actually meant to serve as a link between the original game and the DLC.

When I heard that this DLC features characters played by YouTubers, my expectations plummeted. But to my surprise, they were actually alright. I couldn't even tell who was the YouTuber and who was the actual actor. It was a brilliant idea, considering the audience.

The gameplay is almost identical, but the story was inferior to the original, though it was still cool.

And that's how Minecraft: Story Mode concludes, at least for now. The longest Telltale game, a game I never imagined I'd play, yet here I am having played it and actually enjoying it.

Once again I dislike the head, but the skin, even though a little basic, is quite unique. Fits perfectly with many heads. And also fits my personality, so I might be using this for a while.

"Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty" DLC for "Borderlands 2" takes me back to the first game's first DLC, where zombies were aplenty. In this installment, we encounter pirates. The sheer absurdity of psycho pirates sailing on boats that soar above the sandy landscape perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Borderlands.

The story of the DLC is overall quite enjoyable, but the beginning stands out as a true masterpiece. It immerses players in a captivating experience filled with pirates, hidden treasures, epic boat battles, and thrilling adventures on the high seas! Yarr! Not to mention, the introduction of a memorable new BFF that will have you in stitches!

One standout feature of this DLC is the inclusion of the best melee weapon in the game. For assassins and melee enthusiasts, "Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty" is an absolute must-have. The new weapon adds an extra layer of excitement and satisfaction to the already action-packed gameplay.

I think the one thing this DLC lacks is Luffy, and his crew. (joking)

In conclusion, "Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty" brings a dose of nostalgia while introducing fresh and exciting content to "Borderlands 2." The DLC offers a thrilling adventure filled with pirates, treasures, and outrageous antics, staying true to the spirit of the game. With its memorable beginning, must-have melee weapon, and hilarious pirate-themed escapades, it's a delightful addition that will keep players entertained for hours. Yarr!

"Sound of Drop: Fall Into Poison" is an absolute must for any lover of Visual Novels. Despite my initial skepticism, after completing it, this game has secured a spot among my favorite visual novels. The artwork, OST – everything is so masterfully structured and executed that it's practically impossible not to be entranced. The story is exceptionally well-crafted; you genuinely care about each character (and you must care). It shares many similarities with "Everlasting Summer" and "Corpse Party," two titles that I hold dear.

For achievement hunters: the game has 21 achievements. I have so far unlocked 9 of them by beating the game once. I will come back to the game sometime in the future with the intent of getting all the achievements, and will then edit the review, but since it is a Visual Novel I don't think it should be hard to complete it.

If I were to point out one criticism about this game, it would be the initial difficulty I had in distinguishing characters during dialogues. I mean, I couldn't tell who was speaking due to the lack of unique text colors for each character. Of course, this issue didn't persist as I progressed, but in the beginning, it was truly irritating.

A charming story, filled with numerous amusing moments, but also a few sad ones that, at least for me, "touched" me. I enjoyed the art and the OST as well, and the characters felt well-developed. As I mentioned before, the storyline was really endearing. However, I suggest installing the official restoration patch, as the game is censored on Steam.

For achievement hunters: the game has 19 achievements. I have so far 18 unlocked and have only beaten the game once. I have only started the remaster and not yet touched the DLC. And I have not thought once about its achievements. It is obviously easy to fully complete this game, since it is a Visual Novel, and on top of that a kinetic one.

Smash the system!!

The "Mechromancer Pack" DLC for "Borderlands 2" is a must-have addition for any vault hunter looking to spice up their gameplay. This pack introduces the captivating Mechromancer class, along with some fantastic starting weapons and a fascinating relic that can prove invaluable for farming.

The standout feature of this DLC is undoubtedly the Mechromancer class. If you're a fan of warlocks, necromancers, or anything with big guns, you're in for a treat. The Mechromancer combines the thrill of wielding powerful firearms with the mystical flair of summoning a trusty robotic sidekick named Deathtrap. It's a gameplay experience unlike any other, offering a perfect blend of versatility and mayhem.

Not to be overlooked, the starting weapons provided in this pack serve as a solid foundation for any vault hunter setting out on their journey. And let's not forget the intriguing relic that comes with the Mechromancer Pack. With its unique abilities, it can be a game-changer when it comes to farming rare loot and boosting your character's potential.

"Borderlands 2" is a remarkable sequel that impressively addresses nearly all the aspects I found lacking in the first game. One of the notable improvements is the enhanced A.I., making the gameplay experience feel more dynamic and engaging. The addition of a much-needed minimap and the distinctiveness of various zones further enrich the overall gameplay, setting it apart from its predecessor.

The standout feature of "Borderlands 2" is its captivating story. Unlike the first game, which felt a bit lackluster and slow-paced, this sequel delivers a compelling narrative that kept me enthralled from start to finish. The humor and the development of the characters added depth and charm to the entire experience, ensuring there was never a dull moment.

It's quite rare for a sequel to surpass the original, but "Borderlands 2" achieves just that. The gameplay is an absolute thrill, offering a perfect blend of madness, addictiveness, and rewarding progression. The story, filled with moments that evoke various emotions, mainly laughter, is truly an impressive feat.

Of course, no game is without its flaws, and "Borderlands 2" is no exception. There was a notable performance issue that I encountered initially, despite having a high-end PC. However, the new textures DLC came to the rescue and fixed the problem for me. Despite this, I still had to adjust the settings, such as running the game with PhysX on low and view distance on medium, to optimize performance. Nevertheless, these minor setbacks didn't significantly dampen the overall enjoyment of the game.

For achievement hunters: the game has 75 achievements, with some more challenging than others. It was not an easy task to complete the game. But it is doable and for sure not the hardest out there.

In conclusion, "Borderlands 2" is a shining example of a sequel that excels in every way, surpassing its predecessor in both gameplay and storytelling. The game's addictive and rewarding gameplay, combined with its compelling narrative and humorous moments, create an unforgettable experience. While some performance issues may have lingered, the overall package more than makes up for it. If you're a fan of the series or looking for an action-packed, humorous, and thoroughly enjoyable gaming adventure, "Borderlands 2" is an absolute must-play.

When I first got my hands on the "Assassin Stinging Blade Pack" DLC for Borderlands 2, I had high hopes for the head to pair perfectly with the "A Cleansing Fire" skin. Sadly, my initial enthusiasm took a nosedive when I finally faced the truth—I must admit, it looks rather lackluster.

Let's dive into the details. The skin's colors are completely not my taste, which is a bummer. And as I tried out different combinations, I discovered that only a few of the skins managed to salvage the head's appearance, making it somewhat interesting. However, upon further scrutiny, I couldn't ignore the fact that it just doesn't fit Zer0's body proportionately. It gives off this odd chibi-like impression, making my character seem like a pint-sized version of their usual badass self.

Now, to be fair, the price of this DLC is undeniably attractive for a skin. It won't leave a huge dent in your virtual wallet, which is a plus. But, in all honesty, I can't wholeheartedly recommend something I personally dislike the look of. After all, when it comes to cosmetic choices, appearance is the key player here.
