A rhythm adventure game with cute birbs and animations. While some gameplay mechanics couldve been better (randomization of certain rhythm sections) it is still a nice and charming game.
I LOVE Dead Island, so much I was skeptical about getting Dying Light even though it was from the same company. A zombie RPG is fantastic fun but I didn't know how well it would work in a city versus a moody tropical island. Now I've played it and Dying Light is like Dead Island on steroids. Everything good is still there (except the ability to throw weapons which I miss) but there are also additions which really make it all the more fun. The parkour system is incredible! If you've ever wanted to play 'the floor is lava' with zombies, this is your game. You can know build and repair items anywhere, not just at repair stations. You can fight humans as well as zombies. There's more to explore, more to do, more people to meet. An excellent upgrade in graphics too with a lot of nifty lighting effects. It takes a heft rig to run this game, but it's worth it. The DLC is a little silly, but the main game is solid!
I loved the atmosphere, the story, the characters, the choices...this game had it all! It only dropped the ball for me at the 'quick time events' that requires a series of button presses at certain moments to accomplish things. This system only obscured what was going on (because you're looking at the buttons instead of the game), arbitrarily makes you fail some tasks of have to restart, and the buttons pressed themselves have very little to do with what's going on. A beautiful, moody detective thriller with a supernatural twist would have been excellent. I guess I just have to 'git gud' at all those darn button presses....

Well, the game's surely enjoyable with some nice new features, but the resolution issue is extremely annoying and takes away a lot of the fun: the game field is normal sized, however, dialog boxes and resource information are tiny and extremely hard to read. And I don't wear glasses. So you lose precious seconds trying to decipher objectives (some only appear once you have solved other objectives). I hope they fix this issue soon, high resolution screens won't go away. Other than that, it is a nice addition to the series and I look forward to more installments.
This is old school difficulty real time strategy. The scenario, the atmsophere is excellent and the gameplay is entertaining but this game is not forgiving. You mess up once you're looking at a LONG replay of an extended stealth sequence. 'Gitting Gud' takes way more time than I'm willing to spend on this game. Maybe it's my oldsterness but I just don't oftentimes have the sheer amount of constant situational awareness, or the technical know-how to cheese the system here. Still, worthwhile if you can invest the time or you enjoy lots of slow speed strategy.
Excellent horror atmosphere. The puzzles are familiar if you've played any hidden object style graphic games, but it has a great spooky sensability to the artwork, music, and storyline. The only real problem is this series concludes on a hard cliffhanger, and it's still not clear if they'll release a sequel.
One of my favorite time management series is back. It's better than the last one which had a few glitches and was much slower paced. The only thing that I did not like about this new one is that they introduced the new feature, which I really liked, quite early in the game. This gave the whole game a bit of a repetitiveness rather than a gradual buildup of new things and difficulty. Overall, though it's a great game and I enjoyed playing it and will surely do so again
This is another great Griddlers game for people who don't mind taking their time, considering alternatives and making deliberate decisions. This is a thinking game, not an action game, but it is challenging and rewarding without making the player tense up. It is relaxing, but challenging.
I love this Time management game and enjoy playing them all. They each have a few Quirks like the floating mouse control and the last version that I just could not complete because of it crashing. But his latest version has an evil villain to add to the mix. Loved some of the new features and I will have to wait for the Standard verion because of the cost. Still Top marks for this game.
This game is the greatest and I'm so glad I bumped into it. Bought the console version, but there are no mods and only some of the DLCs. I was thrilled to find it on sale here. I play almost exlusively RPGs and I've been obsessed with this game for months now.
Unlike the base game, a lot of elements, such as the planning of ressources aspect, are not that present, or important in this DLC. Rather, picking up lots of information from NPCs becomes very relevant and the DLC is very story-driven. This makes the DLC feel less generic than parts of the base game, but replay value isn't there compared to the base game. Highly recommended though, unless you're not interested in story.
