Fantastic game and a very unique puzzle experience. The artwork is superb and the music really sets the mood. Feel all relaxed and groovy by the end. My only dig would be the length of the game. Before you know it, it's over and I don't think I'll get much replayability out of it. I bought it at $8.99 but that was probably too high. Even so, I'm not disappointed.

I actually heard about this game on the news of all places. That it was causing a viral uproar with how good and free it was. So I had to give it a spin.

God that first cycle was so boring. The endless stream of tiny blurbs of text requiring a thousand clicks to get through. I see why it was necessary but jeeze, almost gave up on this title.

But DON'T! Just when I thought it would never end, things go off the rails and the fun begins. (Well fun is subjective of course)

Been playing for a few hours on solo to learn the ropes and so far so good. Everything runs well, looks great and progression is steady. You aren't locked into any one decision as you can reroll at any time. Going to try PvP server tonight with friends, fingers crossed.

Oh wow, the game has changed significantly while stil remaining mostly the same. I got bored with the original release and never played much beyond the starter zone. At that time it felt very much like a sandbox that you were playing in. Now it has the feel of an actual game with goals. And the world has grown tremendously. It must be 5x bigger as when it launched early access. The graphics, mechanics and flow are mostly unchanged but this still feels like an entirely new game now.

Review updated because Steam sale!

Wow guys, I'm really sorry so many people are having problems with this game. I've been playing every night since release so I haven't seen any of this news until now. I'm getting occasional dips when the Batmobile drives up but other than that it's been very smooth at max settings. And that's while I'm live streaming too.

So from the perspective of the game with no issues it really is fun. Everything I love about the Arkham series and just more more more. The huge city scape really makes for a fun environment to play around in and your constantly diverted in multiple directions solving crime around the city. Just like a superhero should. My CPU is a few years old but I just upgraded to a GTX980 specifically for GTAV and Witcher 3.

Well, here's hoping they get everything sorted soon.

So after beating the game and many dozens of hours clocked playing Wasteland 2 would I recommend it? Eh... I guess. It's alright but there are definitely better tacticle games out there. I'm a Kickstarter backer so I definitely think it's worth the $15 I paid but full price. Nah, I wouldn't do that. Part of the problem is I have fond memories of Wasteland and Fallout but that was a long time ago. While the graphics have evolved to the base of what I consider acceptable the gameplay is just boring after a while. The story is good but the gamepaly makes everything progress so slow. It is definitely possible to break quests depending on how you proceed and grammer errors galore. Those are getting knocked out by frequent patches though.

There's lots more that bugged me but bottom line, get it on sale.

Magnificent, I'd be hard pressed to think of a better crafted game. Reminds me of a great book, just couldn't put it down.

This game is so funny. Every mission has some nonsense that has me laughing. The fact that its the same stellar gameplay as Borderlands makes it all the better.

Get ready to lose yourself for at least a week. This game is so vast you'll be playing it for years.

Edit: 3 years later, still playing it. Thats a great game.

Edit edit: 7 years? Yep, still good. Just when you thought you did it all, Special Edition!

Tight gameplay, solid music and a gritty old man telling your story. This game is just cool baby!

Loving it, you gotta try this game!
