A relaxing business sim, in which you design and run five different themed museums. Unlike previous Two Point games, in which you would fully complete a level then never return, Museum sees you bouncing back and forth between the museums, as you are set new challenges to increase each museum's star rating. With each of the five museums having a story that continues up to the five-star mark, you could therefore consider the game to have 25 'levels'.

As with previous Two Point games, the soundtrack consists of some cool tunes, punctuated by some silly and sarcastic announcements and radio segments. The music does tend to stop if you pause the game speed though. This is annoying, because you will pause a lot as you redesign your museum, because you've unlocked new items or learned new tricks since you were last at this museum.

It's not the most challenging of games - there's no real 'fail' state. Your museum can go bankrupt, but then you just have a few of your exhibits repossessed and get given a big pile of money. The exhibits can easily be found again. Basically, just don't hire a lot of staff that you don't need, and money troubles probably won't happen.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 91 hours it took to get 100& of the achievements, and I'm eagerly awaiting some new museums in future DLC.

An unusual hybrid of action, adventure and puzzles that doesn't take itself too seriously. The level design is outstanding, with huge multi-layered sandboxes that are almost overwhelming on a first visit, but become gradually more understandable on repeat visits. The gameplay seems simple enough to begin with, then gradually unfolds as you learn new routes, find new items, and complete optional challenges.

With the addition of the roguelike Freelancer mode this year, the game is now infinitely more replayable with a huge variety of potential targets on each level, and different playstyles being encouraged. The vast majority of my playtime has been spent in this transformative mode, and I'll be adding plenty more hours. Even better with the Freelancer Variations mod - I might never quit this game.

A cute little casual puzzle game. The artwork is pretty and the music is relaxing. On hard mode the puzzles are sufficiently challenging to be interesting - I didn't try normal mode because I'm such a pro gamer :P It's a short game, but it's definitely worth the low price.

It's a small game with a small price, but it's big fun. Definitely worth the money, and the devs are good people that do their best to help their local strays. Well worth a purchase if you love cats or want a small relaxing puzzler.

The chill grinding of farming games without any time pressure, and a dash of city-building thrown in too. Relaxing yet compelling.

Throw in the Hitman Legacy Pack upgrade and you get the levels from the previous Hitman too - two games worth of content for the price of one and a bit.

You'd be surprised at how exciting it can be to make a big pile of well-hung dudes on top of a goat.

One of the better RPG/Solitaire hybrids out there. The six classes play quite differently from one another, offering plenty of replayability, and different combinations of items in the shops lend a roguelike element to things. A good game to play in small sessions - 30 minutes would be plenty for a run all the way to the boss.

Like the man says, it's a short puzzle game. Some of the later levels made my brain creak a little, but it never got frustrating. The music provides a nice ambience. Absolutely worth the asking price.

Solid turn-based action in an awesome setting. Good replayability and some of the user-made stuff is mint.
