The first few days were bumpy, but now that things have settled down I'm enjoying the heck out of the game. It's ark with boats, but I knew that before I bought it. Fun.

Loved it. It was a bit short, but the puzzles were well thought out and the dialog was interesting.

Some aspects of this game are utterly boring. Activities such as sawing logs and smelting iron are AFK sessions, where you go eat a meal or watch a 30 minute TV show.

However I do enjoy city building, horseback riding, and the warfare. I just wish crafting in general didn't suck.

PS - I've been smelting for the past hour. During that time I've watched an episode of Castle, browsed the web, and posted this short review about utterly boring crafting. Get my point yet?

I'll recommend the game because I've certainly enjoyed parts of it. But if I can AFK game it's not really gaming.

Never gets old.

I recently played this again... still love it. Good story, fun game. Wish we could have a sequel.

It's a flower pot. You weed it and water it. Meanwhile, my real life vegetable garden is wilting in the heat. Bleh!

For an iOS game, it's not bad. For a PC game it is horrendous. The only reason I played this game was to learn about "The Fall". However you don't learn about "The Fall". I'm not sure why they named the game this. Instead it should be named "The To Be Continued".

Don't buy it, even if you are a fan of Deus Ex. Not

If you are a fan of the original Splinter Cell and Chaos Theory, and are hoping that Blacklist is a continuation of the saga, you are in for a rude surprise. The gameplay has drastically changed and the voice actors are different. Blacklist is barely related to Splinter Cell in name only. Although it is a very good game, it is not we expect from Spinter Cell and I'm disappointed that the developers strayed from the classic game style.

This game also requires UPLAY, which is the only reason give a thumbs down.

What started as a game of Mario and Luigi controlled simultaneously by a single player, finished as a beautiful tale about a family. The adventure was fun, challenging, morbid, and sad. You made me cry.

Bravo.

This game is best described as Minecraft survival singleplayer, without the blocks. It is pure wilderness survival, and is very unforgiving. You WILL die early and often.

The first step is foraging for food and firewood. Surviving day 2 is the most difficult for me, since you need to travel further to find fresh food. Eventually you'll learn to farm and fish, but not without dying. And death is permanent.

Addictive fun.
