We like Adventure Games, not Hidden Object games! Too many Hidden Objects games are listed as adventure games. This game is less adventure & more hidden object-so it's not my favorite. You are given the choice of playing a Casual or Adventure version. We played the Adventure version, which allows you to roam freely. All was OK until we put up the torch before getting the incense burner. We were stuck-could not take back the torch, and could not get the burner (it was grayed out)-so couldn't go on in the game. Had to restart. What is funny is we were previously told we couldn't put the torch up because we still needed it. We then used it to light the lanterns in another scene and it then allowed us to put it in the other scene, prior to taking the burner. So why didn't it stop us then-Bad programming? It would have been nice to go back to a saved game, like in true adventure games, but there aren't any in this game. All in all, the story was interesting, but the reuse of the same cut scene was boring. The puzzles were different, but sometimes they used the same one too many times. (The bonsai tree was hard-could only find 6 of the 7 cuts.) The graphics and actions were very hidden object like, right down to the tinkle. The voices were done well & the eerie background music set the mood. It was worth the sale price, but it is not for the true adventurer!
My least favorite part of any of these games is the hidden object scenes. I prefer the puzzles. However, the colorful graphics really bring the hidden object scenes to life and make them more enjoyable. I also thought the puzzles were interesting and different from similar games like this one.
Not only do you get to interact with dragons in this game, but the graphics and the sites are well done and interesting. Puzzles were fun and game play overall enjoyable!
A nice DLC that adds missions, extra content/components for your rocketeering needs, and nice visual customisation too. Still pales compared to the additions of mods but a nice bit of extra content and supports the developers too.
I played this game on PC and it ran fantastically without any of the crashing or invisible units or funky spaced text—so all those issues are mac exclusive. The game itself is a lot of fun though, so it's worth getting on sale to see if it works on your computer. (Through my troubleshooting, it seems to have a better chance on iMacs than on Macbooks.) There're a lot of fun tactical things to do (chest of rage ftw!), and many different kinds of units to work with (ancient bears are a personal favourite of mine). This is a great game, and it's a shame that it wasn't ported well to mac.
This game has a tight focus which serves it really well. Its management is light and serves just to give a little progression for your units as you fight island to island. It is a game that rewards taking risks - as long as you can make them pay off and don't overstretch. Your 3 unit types have amazing synergy with each other - any combination of 2 or 3 of them, of 2 of the same unit, etc all make for very different tactics and approaches to consider when fighting. And as the campaign progresses it doesn't lose focus and keeps you engaged the whole way through. Very highly recommended!
Great game featuring (as expected) giant mechs fighting it out against each other. Manage multiple considerations as you try to pummel the enemy into dust and then play the management game to bring your soldiers to the next fight, coping with injuries and battle damage. A few issues exist with the campaign, namely that the story missions are unbalanced (the rewards are astronomically high compared to normal missions), there's no reason to bring smaller mechs along when bigger ones are available, and the loop can get a little easy, although DLC may bring some fixes to this.
Small but fun addition which brings to life the city parks that were missing before. Whilst I didn't find the nature reserves, zoos or theme parks as great (although they're still fun to add for sure), the city parks add an element that seemed to be missing before - no longer does your city have just a few plazas and huddles of trees, you can now build proper parks and gardens like you would find in most cities, larger blocks of land dedicated to the outdoors in the middle of your city.
A few nice small additions but really doesn't add a huge amount to the game. Still worth picking up but certainly not a must-buy when you're looking at the Skylines DLC.
It adds a few less-common transport options but doesn't really change much up and the utility is fairly limited. I doubt you'll be converting to an all-blimp city anytime soon.
This DLC adds the ability to make a green utopia, a thriving prosperous city for thousands of inhabitants with no adverse impact on the environment, great tax revenue, wonderful quality of life etc etc. While I guess it could be fun to build this perfect city, its misses the point of having to balance different tradeoffs and just gives the 'perfect option' button, which I think actually detracts from the fun of trying to build a good city.
An interesting DLC that adds new industrial areas that, like parklife, level up and have various new things you can produce and import/export/sell to your citizens. It does leave the question of what is the point in normal specialised industry areas now, but otherwise its an alright purchase for Cities Skylines.
Evoland was such a surprise — part platformer, part RPG, kind of like the ultimate "upgrade" sort of game, where it starts very primative (think GameBoy Advance) and moves up the line of console RPGs. The modes are not especially difficult, and all were really fun to get into.
Absolutely can NOT get my Saitek AV8R-01 to work correctly. Yaw keeps cycling making the plane just about unflyable, nevermind combat... trying to find community support and apparently if you DONT use facebook you're out of luck.
Crowntakers reminds me of playing a board game: there are cards played, random moments that feel like the roll of dice, and a fast ending. The problem I have with this game is that it is ultra-linear, in the sense that the game becomes more difficult as time passes — so you are penalized for exploring. Yet once you reach the end, that's it and you must start over. That said, I find myself returning to this game over and over — I must have played it through at least 20 times. There is just enough variability to get me to return. I bought the DLC, even, but I don't recommend it — it was just another area that didn't add much to my experience of the world.
If you liked Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights, this is a winner. A nice, rich story, many characters, some really challenging moments, and a satisfying ending. There is an element of hack-and-slash here that I found boring at some points; or I would return to the game after a week and wonder what I was doing or what needed to be done next. I'm not especially good at RPGs, so this took me over 100 hours to complete. Graphics are quite good, music is top-notch.
I've played all the eschalon series, and part 3 had the most fit and finish — an engaging story, numerous enhancements, and lots of the things that annoyed me about the first 2 parts were gone. Enter into this expecting a "classic" RPG feel — like an RPG from about 15 years ago, with occasional glimpses (graphics, sound, interaction) of sophistication. I grew up on the Ultima series, and so stories like Eschalon have an especially nostalgic feel.
It's a small story pack that while not adding tons extra, has some interesting new anomalies, new place to explore with events and a bit of new music. Not a must buy but nice to flesh out a little extra exploration.
