I can't even play the game. Anytime I launch the title, I get prompted to log in, but I can't type anything in. So broken that you can't even launch the game.

This game has severe compatibility issues with my new system. Runs poorly, crashes too frequently to make it playable. Rockstar really needs to patch this game.

I'm generally not a fan of puzzle games, yet Portal is one of the most engaging and amusing games I have ever played, even over a decade after its release. If I were making a list of "must-play" games this would easily be one of the first games I would name.

Short and sweet.

Game keeps crashing!

Still waiting for the sequel.

Loved this game.

I bought this while it was on sale over a year ago, and have been very satisifed with it ever since. So satisified that I'd even be willing to pay the full $60 price for it. I was able to set up a budget in minutes. By investing just a few minutes every day since then into tracking my expenses on this software, I now feel like I'm in control of my finances.

I highly recommend this for anyone. You may cringe at the idea of budgeting, but YNAB makes it easy to do. If you follow their 4 rules you will likely achieve financial stability.

A quick disclaimer; it's been a long time since I've played this thing. However, in viewing this store page, I had some thoughts to share.

The developers put an INSANE amount of detail into this game. You can interact with just about anything. Papers in desks? Yes, you can pick them up, and you can read them, and each paper will have a different story to tell. Coffee cup? Go ahead, pick it up. You don't even have to put it back. This game clones the experience of looking around someone's house for clues into their lives. Gone Home uses this element to tell a story in a way no other game does.

That said, Gone Home does leave something to be desired, as many people have pointed out in their reviews. The story will likely disappoint you. It tries to go somewhere most games stay away from, but doesn't make much of a meaningful statement. Don't let that ruin the experience for you. Gone Home is the Avatar of gaming. The story is plain, but the visual experience is unprecedented and unforgettable.

This is one of those games that's better if you see it than if I explain it to you. If you're unsure whether you want to buy this game or not, look up a couple minutes of gameplay of it. If you like what you see, you'll enjoy the game, and I fully recommend you buy it.

Be warned that the game is only a couple hours long. I did a decent amount of exploring and still only squeezed two hours out of it. You might get a little more if you try and do everything. It's a great two hours, but it's still only two hours. To get the most of your money, wait for it to go on sale.
