Absolute 10/10. A challenging and engaging puzzle game taking place inside a story of murder and mutiny on a British East India Company ship. Walk through the moment of character's deaths, trying to piece together who they were, and who their killer was.

A super engaging and unique game with great music, all created by one person. It's very impressive. My only complaint is that I can't travel back in time and play it again for the first time.

Remember, this isn't the Killing House anymore, this is real life!

Good game. Very Pretty. Mechanics are very fun. Tries to get a little to crazy mechanically at the end, still very fun.

Insurgency is a story of clever sales techniques getting a game to explode. In the last weeks a four pack of Insurgency has been available at the humble store. Currently Insurgency is on sale for 60% off. The player community has therefore exploded, to overall positive results. This is because Insurgency is not a noob friendly game, you die from one or two shots, and there is no minimap. Therefore when a new player joins a game they are usually absolutley slaughtered by the more experienced players. Since there is a fresh wave of inexperienced players joining the game now they will also be playing against each other allowwing them to pad their scores considerably, and allowing for a softer start into Insurgency.

Now on to the actual game-

Pros-
-Great sound design, guns sound powerful
-The guns feel right as well, the right amount of kick, etc.
-Dust is used effectively to show where your shots hit, and sometimes to obscure your vision
-Hardcore, you die in one shot, but so do they
-A fairly good variety of modes to play
-A very difficult AI to play against cooperatively

Cons-

-Some of the AI modes, especially checkpoint are very linear
-Lack of hud (I am not saying that I dislike this, but it can be offputting to new players)
-Moving the mouse cursor moves your gun a small distance before it actually starts turning you(Once again I have no problem with this, but I have heard reports of people becoming nauseus)

The Verdict-

-Insurgency is an excellent game with some design choices that may be annoying for some, but overall strengthen the experience. Now is the best time to buy.

So far I have fallen in love with Blade Symphony. It has its fair share of issues, but those are all outweighed by the excellent combat mechanics. There are four fighters all with very unique fighting styles, and strengths and weaknesses. There are also five different types of swords each fitting to different fighters in unique and interesting way. There are, however, some issues, for one, offline play There is an AI to practice against but it is incredibly bad, you have to set up what the AI will do, you can for example set it to attack or defend, it cannot do both, making it effectively useless. Also the player community is fairly small, which is sad, I have played ten hours so far and I have already run into some people I recognize repeatedly, but overall I love Blade Symphony's combat mechanics, and that's what sells it for me.

Overall I had a very positive experience with Gunpoint. The game's bread and butter is the crosslink mechanic allowing you to rewire security systems and electronics inside the buildings you are infiltrating. The game also does a great job of autosaving frequently in case you screw up. The main problem I have with the game is that it did not work very well. I experienced frequent crashes, and half the time I tried to start the game it didn't even work. Overall a 7/10

There is no real way to describe the awesomness that is Garry's Mod. Actually let me rephrase, there is no way to describe the awesomness that is murder. Do not buy this game for the sandbox, do not buy it for TTT, buy it for the single most amazing game ever created, Murder. 10/10

This may be because the game is in early access, but the game ran like crap. I have a mid-level computer and even with everything down to minimum it still ran even the simplest scenarios badly.

The jokes are clever, and the gameplay is harder than expected. The game also has a coop mode I haven't tried yet. 8/10

The game is overall a lot of fun. I didn't play any of the old Tomb Raider games, so I didn't know what I was getting into. It's basically gritty Uncharted. The storyline can be a bit Kitchy at times, but the gameplay is fun. Unfortunatley nobody seems to be playing the multiplayer., so I can't pass judgment on that. 7.5/10
