Great game. Lots of fun. A+.

I loved it... Actually I think its my favorite Bioshock game, and without spoiling much...
Bioshock Infinite actually ties the story to the first Bioshock game at the end.

It was a really strong close to the series... But I doubt they can ever revive the series with how they ended this game.

If anything, they could make a game where Elizabeth is a Little Sister that grew up, but they probably shouldn't mess with such a strong series ending, instead they should really think about writing a System Shock 3 game.

I love the game but still wish Resident Evil was more like the originals, a survival horror game and not a shooter.

Still, as a 3rd person shooter it is an excellent game.

8/10


Significantly better game than the force unleashed 1.

Refined controls and dynamics.
More stable cinematics(the previous game had choppy cinematics)

Better overall upgrade concept and execution.
Better graphics than the first one.

The game still had some instability buy I am unsure if this is related to my graphics card which is generally unstable(Radeon RX460). The sound would on infrequent ocassions cut out and the screen would go black. It did so somewhat predictably related to some weird error with stacking objects on screen(which I would use to jump to other locations).

But other than that... I loved the story.

Its very short(about 7 hours long, maybe longer if you choose do the challenges), so I wouldnt pay full price for this game(theyre asking $19.99 right now).

I recommend first upgrading everything to level 2, then upgrading the lightsaberskill fully, the mind trick skill fully, and the repel skill fully, and lightsaber throw skill fully.

The mind trick helps out a lot in the final battle.
The lightsaber toss helps out with the big robots(cryobot, fire bot, etcetera)
The repel helps out when you are surrounded.
And obbiously the lgihtsaber skill helps out in everything.

7/10
It isnt worth the full price of 19,99, but It is fun.
I would skip this if it isnt on sale. I cant imagine paying more than $5 for this.
About 10 hours of gameplay.

The Bad:
The controls are a bit wonkey.
The level transitions sometimes have loading in mid level.
The cutscenes sometimes skip.
You can't get all the upgrades in 1 playthrough(this wasnt thought out very well).
The "boss" of the 2nd to last level involves taking down a star destroyer and the on-screen instructions are very unclear.

The Good:
Fun story.
Gives a bit of background about the formation of the rebel alliance(but who knows if this is cannononical now that disney owns the franchise)
Entertaining.
Not too difficult.

Just beat Owlboy.
Fantastic game.
Great story, only about 10 hours of gameplay(maybe more if you are trying to get everything)
10/10, highly recommended.


The controls are solid, and I only I came across a few minor bugs. A few parts of the game are tedious, but I later figured out that I was approaching the challenge wrong so actually only 1 part was particularly frustrating(but it was a non-essential challenge anyway).

The music is beautifully performed.

The graphics are pixelated but I think this was due to budget constraints and can be easily remastered for HD in the future. Aside from the pixelation the game looks brilliant, some areas I counted 11 layers of background and foreground which really adds depth to the feel of the game and makes it more immersive. Simply put, picture of the game dont do it justice because you arent seeing how the background and foreground moves and the special effect animations that go into it.

Other thoughts? $25 is too much(in spite of it being a fantastic game, its only 10 hours).
I would have paid at most $15 for this. But I did happen to get the game on sale for less than that, so I am not bitter about it.

Great game. A shame there are licensing problems causing it to not be for sale any more.

A+ game about transhumanism.

10/10

It is an excellent game.
This is what Assassins Creed Chronicles tries to be but fails at miserably(due to many bugs among other things).

The only bad thing about this game is you NEED a controller for this, you absolutely cannot play this game on keyboard(as the controls are awkward). But with a Microsoft 360 controller, the controls are fluid and very natural feeling.

IMO $15 is still a little steep for this, wait for a sale... totally worth it at $10 or less.

After several years of playing the game... they STILL have not fixed stability issues with the game.

It STILL crashes.

You would think that the ♥♥♥♥-for-brains programmers would have fixed this issue... but they have not.

The ONLY reason I play the game is because the matches last 30 minutes and I can work them in between my daily routine.
