Run (or walk) around, shoot things, snap pictures, dig holes, shoot some more things, collect all the things, build a house, fly space ships. What's not to like? Do you hate fun?

I have a weird itch to get drunk and join the revolution now, or something. Quickly, for the other slow kids in the back... there's a LOT of reading and it's very good, even if you're not a communist. Just enough weird unexplained stuff and copious uses of the word '♥♥♥♥' to keep it interesting. Will probably play through again once I get the communism out of my mouth.

I don't like rogue-likes. I don't like card games. Anyone know why I like this game? Me either, but a whole lot of other people seem to agree. It's a fun little diversion. Probably worth at least $24.98.

No one is going to read this, so I'll make it quick. This is a solid game with good controls, very few bugs, a decent story with solid writing, and enough variety to stay interesting. I ended up buying the DLC. I like the game well enough to spend some added dough.

Despite recommending this game highly, it's important to note that this game doesn't have as well-refined mechanics as that other very similar game. The interesting bit for me is that this game, primarily due to theme, has me hooked in a lot more than that other game. I also feel like the game is significantly less frantic feeling, which is good because there's so damned much to get done before you get the point where you're able to get rolling with some of the optimal ways of getting things done. Progression is very layered and sometimes frustrating, but once you unlock and create those first very powerful things, it's very rewarding.

Overall, I've enjoyed both the base game and the DLC, but haven't even come close in 40-ish hours of seeing the whole game- that makes it a very good value. Again- I love the theme and the coherency of the theme elements. I wish there was more engagement with NPCs and your relationship was better defined, but overall, this is a solidly good game that is very enjoyable.

At this point, I've spent a significant amount of time with Warframe. After it was recommended to me by a friend, I gave it a try. My first foray resulting in complaining to him about how there's not a lot of player guidance built into the game. It's a big complicated game that pretty much requires educating yourself by using the very detailed wiki that is available.

If you like the grind of something like WoW, the speed of old school shooters, and sci-fi ninjas in space, you should give this thing a try. It's a collect-a-thon, but the characters and weapons are interesting enough to keep you pushing to get the next thing, even if it's just to try it out.

A completely different game that Dig, but with the same sensibilities and art style. Truly magnificent. I really really enjoyed Dig and this game is a quite a bit more enjoyable. Low stress turn-based strategy game. Highly recommended and worth the price.

Not as simple as it seems on the surface... and not as easy as it could be. I'd say it's definitely a game that you could take beyond the casual farm game if you like. Some of the fighting in the caves can actually get hard. Overall, I enjoy it.

I really like this game a lot. So far, the challenge is ramping up appropriately, the visuals are very nice, physics are pretty good, and the guides make it a lot of fun. I bought it on sale, but to be honest, even $10 isn't bad for this.

I'm just about halfway through. This game is a light and fun third-person RPG with a downright amazing selection of weapons and armor. Want to be a plate-wearing arcane mage? Not too difficult and fun as hell. The game is pretty, extremely stable, and thus far, not terribly challenging on easy setting. I'd recommend starting on normal.
