A great replayable physics based platformer. All of the levels have some smart use of the power ups and mechanics, and the skull levels really put your brain to the test on how the physics really work. I believe the developer is going to add at least one more world in addition to the seven here. This game should last the average player maybe 5-6 hours, but easily over 10 if you do all of the challenges and skull levels without a guide. Graphics are also nice!

EDIT: now that the developer has added the old trilogy and a level creator, this is one of the best indies out there.

Great character and animation work, plus well designed mini-games. Runs very well. Excited to see future content from these guys.

Great remaster, buy this instead of Half Life: Source. The AI is way better than the hl2 combine ai in source, graphics are great, and broken 1998 physics puzzles are modernized or cut out if it's too jank. Chapters that once were a slog to play through (On A Rail, Surface Tension, ect.) are a lot more fun this time around. To top it all off, the Xen chapters of the game have been completely reworked and are way better than HL1. In my opinion, this is the definitive HL1 experience.

Pros:
-New Valve Game!!!!
-Not Glitchy on PC and looks good
-Auto Chess is really fun

Cons:
-RNG is kinda annoying

Basically a tech demo, Half Life 2: Lost Coast is a very good looking Source Engine game and the commentary is interesting. However, it is short, but the level and it's design is very fun to play on and took me about 30 min to complete (But I mainly looked at the scenery because it is a tech demo).

Civilization: Beyond Earth is a game where you settle a colony on an alien planet and advancing in technology while playing against or with AI or friends. My main complainnt with the game is that it feels like a reskin of Civ 5 in most ways and the characters have almost no animations and are very predictable unless you turn the difficulty up. If you want to get something that feels like a new Civilization (Not a reskin), get the expansion, Rising Tides. Although paying $50 for the game and $30 for the DLC is a bit pricey, it is a BLAST with friends.
