Requires microsoft account for multiplayer

This game is really fun if you have 5+ friends to play with, but it shouldn't be this expensive. Way too overpriced for the number of maps and content in the game.

Fun game, I recommend playing with a friend.

I really like the game but unfortunately I got bored before finishing the story even though I'm interested and liked it so far. I feel like there are too many time waste mechanics and no way for quick enough progression. The most powerful weapons and tools are too weak for my liking, every second spent dismantling stuff feels longer and longer. Same with fighting with enemies, very frustrating when the game leaves them 1% hp after the first hit so you have to waste time to hit them again.

Still, I enjoyed the time I spent on it and probably will visit it later. It's not very expensive either so I can recommend it.

Despite its many flaws, the overall experience of playing tihs game was great. Sometimes it was kind of hard to continue playing, especially early on where combat can be very hard. Or when you lose 30+ minutes of progress due to the save system because some bandits decided to gangbang you on your way back to a tavern from a quest.
I enjoyed the main story bit the ending was extremely disappointing. It kind of felt like they got bored of making the game so they just ended it there. The grindy hunting side quests felt very unnecessary, I probably missed some good side quests with acutal lore to it because I got bored of those grindy item collecting ones and rushed the main story at some point.
The game could be compared to Skyrim or Witcher but in a way it's unique and different so if you like open world RPGs it's definitely worth playing. The world is well made, the NPCs and quests felt fitting for the atmosphere. I'm sure I'll play again in the future.

Very fun game, I only wish they'd add more items / characters even if it's in a form of DLC. Don't misunderstand me, there are tons of content and replayability already but it would be nice to see new stuff every now and then.

If you're a normal person who likes the Life is Strange games you'll probably love this.
If you're someone who enters blind rage mode when they see someone living by the the rainbow flag, this game is not for you. One of the main characters is transgender and it's somewhat part of the story. There is also a gay dude who will try to hit on you but you can turn him down.

This game is really not a propaganda like I feared by seeing some of the negative reviews, it's just another amazing story game by Dontnod.

There was a few more small annoyances than in Life is Strange though: Sometimes it wasn't always obvious to me what I had to do to progress forward in the game which probably led me to miss seeing a few things by accidentally progressing in the game. Later I found out the escape menu says what the objective is, paying attentoin to that might have saved me from this but it's too late to go back.
I also encountered a few times where a dialogue started over another one and I might have missed something. These were not main story stuff that I missed but only small details that I like to explore in these games. I haven't encountered something like this in the Life is Strange.
The times where I had to listen to 2 seperate dialouges at the same time might have been intentional as it made the world feel more alive (these were always just filler dialogues, unrelated to the story, I just don't like missing any detail and it made me a bit unconfortable).

Overall I'm happy I had the chance to play this game and I'll probably replay it at some point in the future because in these games you usually notice a lot more details when you already know the story and play for the second time.

Can recommend especially for the free i got it for.

Loving it just as much as the previous game. Basically the same game with a new map, new story and some other new stuff and I'm happy it's like this. I'm really hoping they are already working on a 3rd game.
If I had to list some negatives I'd say it really feels smaller. Also I really missed the Cyclops but the map probably wasn't big enough for it anyways. Maybe there will be a mod to add it at some point.

Even though it's from 2008, Dead Space does not feel old at all. Takes about 12 hours to finish, the story is alright, gameplay is great once you get used to the controls (in case you need to). If you get scared from horror games this is probably one of the scaried ones. The sounds are amazing, I really liked how detailed and accurate the background noises were.

The idea of the game and the game itself is amazing. If you have 10 friends to play with this game is very good.
However if you try to play online with random players this game is frustrating and terrible.
Just to mention a few problems with the online community of this game:

-HACKERS. There are hackers in the game, killing everyone in the first seconds, ending the game. I have no idea what's the point of this or why is it fun for them but it's quite common.
-Many times someone says a color and most of the team will brainlessly vote him.
-Generally the playerbase is either very young or simply dumb. Not good in an online community where you kinda have to think to win.
-People leave the game in the first 5 seconds to restart because either they wanted to be the impostor and became crew or they became the impostor and didn't want to play impostor.
-People can't wait 1 minute to get a full lobby, spamming start in chat and leaving the game.

The developers could find a solution against hackers, could find a way to punish people leaving the game but most of these problems are caused by the online community of the game and the developers have no power fixing that.
