Better Graphics/Physics. More Art Styles. More Weapons to Destroy Boulders/Friends with.

Rock of Ages 2 definitely is Bigger and Boulder than the first, and for $14.99, it's a steal and a half.

Also Sticky Cows. They are a menace and I love them for it.

Graphics <ok_hand>

Music/SFX <ok_hand>

Gameplay <ok_hand>

Highly Recommend Dead Cells, one of the most polished Early Access games since Darkest Dungeon.

BASED ON EPISODE ONE ON LAUNCH:

Music is great, Humor is great, Runs/looks better than Batman - A Telltale Series.

Great first episode, and looking forward to the rest of the game.

It's true when people say Skins = Wins.

Before I got my knife I was a lowly Silver 2, now, I am a mighty Silver Elite Master.

My incorrect callouts and poor reticle aim are no match for any opponents who dares to challenge me.

**Review based on Episode 1**

Performance: I ran the on a desktop GTX 960 and had mostly 60fps (some framedrops but not sure do to streaming the game) and everything seemed to work as it was suppose to.

Bugs: Could not leave the Codex menu in the first batcave sequence (I suggest just following the objective and not touching anything else). Xbox One controller like with all Telltale Games is not even recognized. And some sound effect were a little too quiet during a sequence later in the episode.

Game: So far TftBl has been my favorite Telltale Game. But Batman has a change to replace it. The combat and other gameplay mechanics are fun. The story seems to be pointed in a intresting direction. This game is what I wanted from a Batman Telltale game, and If you are able to stear clear of the performance issues (until they are fixed) you shouldn't be dissapointed.

TD;DR - Great game if you can avoid the performance problems. 5/5

Great visuals, Great sound design, Eerie/Borderline creepy story, and a Great next-step from Playdead.

Fans of LIMBO will not be dissapointed.

Hi [FRIEND_NAME_HERE], you have to check out this game. It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.


REAL REVIEW:

This game does really have one of the most innovative and suprisingly basic FPS mechanic I've ever seen. Time stops (well...slows down a whole lot) when you don't move. This single change in the formula really hooked me and made all my movements and shots mean something as I progressed through a level, a single movement can cause you to get hit, or cause you to dodge two bullets that were heading right toward you.

But, as a 25$ game, it only has a campaign of 2hrs and a few other modes like endless and challenges. So if you don't want to pick it up full price that's understandable. But honestly the gameplay and intriguing campaign the game provides more than justifies the 25$ price tag.

8.5/10

First off, Firewatch definitely has its flaws, especially towards the last 1/3 or the game. The framerate struggles slightly with my 960, missed dialogue prompts can appear when backtracking to an area later which can slightly throw you out of the immersion. And the length of the game for ~20$ can turn off alot of people for this game, which is understandable.

But even with those flaws, the conversations and character development between the two characters, Henry and Delilah, are entertaining and fun to listen to through the 4-5hr story. The graphics, while simple, are absolutely gorgious and can defintely become the player's next desktop background. I personally think Firewatch was worth the ~18$ I paid for it and I can't wait to see what Campo Santo has in store next.

8/10

More Stuff for the Game you Love

If you have put any time into Rocket League and enjoy the ♥♥♥♥ out of it, buy this DLC! It includes 2 awesome new cars, spinners!, really cool rocket trails with not horrible sound effects (looking at you flower one), and some wicked awesome paint styles like metallic pearl and pearlescent. Also they added some wheels, new flags, and a new map, absolutely free for all owners of Rocket League! So buy this damn DLC now, and support the heck out of Psyonix!

(My one problem is that it doesn't add new flags, or a different color for the spinner, yellow isnt my favorite color, maybe chrome next time?)

8/10

Try it for 2hrs, if you don't like it, refund the game. But I promise you, you won't be returning it, no, you'll be buying the damn DLC and liking it.
