The first two episodes were fantastic and possibly even better than the original series, but the third one let Before the Storm down. Altogether I'd still recommend purchasing it if you're a fan of Life is Strange, but be aware of the dip in quality.

The AI is fairly stupid although it can occasionally do sensible things. Other than that, I think that Civ 6 is a definite improvement over Civ 5. Things like multi-tile cities and the new Civics tree make the game significantly more fun.

The story, graphics and general quality of the story mode is excellent. The online mode is filled with hackers and microtransactions. I'm not sure which one is worse tbh.

Take Two, however, is a toxic company that denies people their fundamental rights to mod this game. It's not just the recent cease and desist, it's the thugs sent to modders' houses to convince them to stop. It's the continuous banning of anyone who tries to use mods. Do not buy from a company that does this.

Nothing like The Stanley Parable, but still an excellent thought-provoking game.

Providing you:
a) Have a controller (keyboard controls are awful and can't be bound to mouse)
b) Are prepared to get a bit frustrated at times
c) Are okay with the fact that there's no chapter saving (each movie is divided into 6 chapters), so if you want to stop-mid chapter you need to restart

... then it's a brilliant and nostalgic game that's held up surprisingly well.

EA Logic:
"Let's make a parkour game, but let's add combat, and make it so that when you die (inevitabley, due to the hilariously bad combat system) set you back a lot, generally before an excessivley long animation. Oh and we'll make sure that you can't manually save. Ever."

The whole idea of being a runner is that you can jump across rooftops, out of reach of the police.

If you get past the excess of cutscenes and quicktime event, this is an excellent game. The AI can be a bit derpy at times, but it doesn't really affect gameplay. Also, 17 hours of gameplay is very good for the price. The graphics of this game are something else, even better, on my mid range machine I was getting about 60fps.

Buy this game, although personally I would wait until the summer sale. It's likely to be heavily reduced.

Excellent game. Very glad to see that the indie market still has it, by far better put together than a lot of EA games. The game *is* slightly glitchy, but that's all part of the fun. Believe it or not, watching a workman trying to place a door before he removes the wall is very entertaining.

9/10, most likely 10/10 when some bugs get fixed.

Very good and interesting game! Played out-of-the-box for about three hours before I bought the gold upgrade in the steam sale. Although once your civilization gets huge it can get slightly boring it has amazing graphics, especially when you talk to other rulers.
