This game is a good "rainy afternoon time-passer"—after the first round through, you've seen all of the locations and had a pretty good chance to see a lot of the possible "buys" and finds. Beyond that, you have to work a bit to keep it interesting.
I started on the second level (not the free-pick mode, but the basic competition mode) and the first time through placed third; that was (at least mostly) because I spent the first half of that round learning what qualified into different categories, and it wasn't intuitive that I could go from place to place within the same "pick." The second time through on basic competition, I pulled into the lead on the second pick and blew the rest away. Even then, I was still learning a little.
Intermediate competition is very difficult. I've never finished higher than 9th, and I've played it three or four times. I haven't yet played the highest level.
There are a handful of things about the game that don't make much sense—like the keys: I found 44 out of 40 (?) keys and I still don't know what they are supposed to do.
It's a fun game to tinker with when you don't want to get into anything too serious. Not a favorite, but I'll keep it around.
I played the first act way back when, and loved it. Every bit of it: the premise, the visuals, the characters, the humour. Both characters were reasonably complex with relateable problems, and their worlds developed interesting dilemmas. I cared about what was going on and what would happen to Shay and Vella.
I cared so much, in fact, that I struggled to wait patiently for the second act to emerge so that I could resolve the tense and mind-boggling cliffhanger in which I found myself.
The second act was released, and, with all the excitement of the world in my mind, I played the game again to subdue my turbulent imagination and find out what happened to my beloved characters.
And... meh. Perhaps there was too much build up? Perhaps I'd been waiting so long that I made up my own ending?
Don't mistake me, the second age is entertaining. But it's just not... there. The story starts to get a little too implausible and ridiculous, and changes are made to the narrative that fundamentally affect how you see the first act. In my view, this ruins much of what made the first act good, and I felt a little robbed of my initial pleasure. Also, some of the characters' motivations start to fall apart a bit, and the ending feels like it's full of holes.
Three stars. Three stars because the first act was captivating. And three stars, because the second act was not.
This game is pretty awesome. The only problem storywise is the voice acting, but I hear it gets much better in the sequels.
It runs very well on my rMBP Late 2013 with Intel Iris and 8GB RAM (Yosemite). I had to lower the settings a smidge to improve some laggy moments here and there.
Just like the other Lego games, this one doesn't disappoint. Fun, challenging and comical. Has most, if not all the major Marvel characters in it; looks like it will be a very cool adventure! :)
Took a little bit to get steam working though. Otherwise it's a great game!
Well, I have played many weird HO games but this one I really enjoyed. The puzzles were good and the story was interesting. Only small grumble was no map.
Another amazing game from their Tower Defense series. Unfortunately, this game isn't as popular as it should be. Highly recommended!
Pros:
+ Graphics + Voice acting + Tech tree + Plenty of maps + Energy bar, as it's a very interesting concept and requires more tactical placement of your towers.
Cons:
- Can be a bit hectic during the bigger battles - It's pretty much same as every Tower Defense
Great game with great action. A lot of people are complaining about no skirmish mode, but for this price I'm fine with it. Plus I see it's going to take me awhile to get through the campaigns.
The best DLC out of the current 5 Headhunters DLCs. I enjoyed this one so much! The fun you have compensates for the fact that it's a short episode but seriously, GET THIS!!
Despite my rating, it's still a very fun episode of the Headhunters series. I think that it gets repetitive, though, during some parts, which is why I gave it a 3 Star rating.
Still a good pick-up if you're into the BL series. Adds longevity.
No brainer for anyone who's into BL2. More levels, more content, more missions, more challenges, more everything! The OP levels will make you work for your kills, drops and XP. Definitely worth it!
The Headhunter series of DLCs is an a-ok series. Keeps you busy and makes up for the hours spent in tons of fun. Reccomend anyone who has BL2 to get it.
Not as fun as the other episodes from the series but it's still ok. You can probably finish this one within an hour or two so I'd advise you to buy this when it's on discount only. It's not worth its full price.
The game doesn't take very long to finish and the main character's voice is annoyingly bored and affectless, but the puzzles are interesting. The option of getting a clue by calling one's shipmate works quite well and is handy. The puzzles are not generally very hard but a couple require more trial-and-error.
After a bad start with this game due to it not working correctly, I finaly have had a chance to actualy play it. Tons of fun, you will fail tons of times, you will get jumpy.
A month has passed and we have a new small dlc for tropico 5. this time el prez will have to face a cult of some supernatural being. with the help of the inquisition, he will eradicete these heretics and bring peace and prosperity to tropico once and for all!
