While it does not take place in the same setting and universe as Planescape: Torment, Torment: Tides has many of the same themes and philosophical ideas. It has an engaging story that cannot quite match up to the overall quality of the game that inspired it, but on its own is a fantastic piece of interactive fiction.
Fell Seal is trying to be final fantasy tactics in a lot of ways. It is mostly successful in it's efforts. Sometimes being derivative is not a bad thing, since there are not a lot of games out there that recapture the magic of FF tactics. Sure, there are plenty of tactics games-but none that quite capture the complexity of the world of Ivalice, in terms of its political intrigue and complex sociopolitical themes.
Yesterday Origins continues to develop the character and themes set out in the first game, but falls short in a lot of ways. However, if you are interesting in a game that continues to explore themes of immortality and memory-or if you were at all interested to see what happens next after the end of the first game-then this game is for you. I would say that it's not pendulo's best game, but it is also not their worst.
Expansions for Paradox games add a lot to the core gameplay experience, but never quite enough to justify their price, in my opinion. However, if, like me, you just cannot get enough Stellaris, then this expansion is worth purchasing eventually. Perhaps wait for a sale.
Very interesting additions and story possibilities to the stellaris universe. Now I can play stellaris like an Issac Asimov story like Robots and Empire.
Another species flavor pack that adds variety to the game, but I would wait for a deep discount on wingamestore to purchase-at full price it seems overpriced.
If you are fan of space capitalism, then this expansion pack is for you. The stellaris expansions are best purchased at sale prices because paradox tends to milk their franchises for all they're worth, to varying degrees of success.
The story packs for stellaris add a lot to the game. They are much better than the species packs, which don't add a lot of interesting content to the game for the price.
This is a very dense and complicated game that takes a while to get into. If you like looking at maps . . . not as fun and goofy as civilization series.
Definitely wait for a sale on the species packs because they are just portraits and voices, basically. Luckily, they are usually on sale on wingamestore.
This makes the end game of Stellaris a lot more interesting to be sure. There are some balance issues introduced by this expansion and the latest patch, however.
This is a decent expansion, but there are so many expansions for this game-that it can be a bit difficult to sort out exactly what each adds to the game and how to access the new content.
This is a decent collection if you can manage to find it at a sale price. I am not sure I would recommend purchasing at full price. Paradox DLC tends to be hit or miss.
