The game is worth the asking price.

The story about the demon kingdom is interesting and all the important characters convey their personality well with chit-chat and cutscenes. I do wish the characters' appearance would change as the story progresses (such as Gideon's contraption for Roviria shown at the very end). I also would have liked if the characters walked around the world by themselves, not just remain stationary and waiting for me to come to them.

Music can get very funky, very enjoyable!

The game revolves around you collecting resources to buy or make better equipment and progress through the story when you are strong enough. If you want to play on the higher difficulty (called Heroic when the map is open) then you will be grinding for equipment and levels.
Inventory management is frustrating. You get a box where you can store any item you have collected. The issue is the interface with which you interact with this box is very narrow and not fun to use. The maximum amount of slots you get in the box is fair. At the end of the game I had a few free slots left. I had a few occasions where I had to throw away items because of inventory constraints.
In the dungeons, if you dash around quickly, your party members may get confused and become unable to follow you! This can be quickly remedied by switching from party mode to single and back. In fact, this is a really quick way to move every party member close to an enemy and force the enemy to take a bunch of hits immediately. This seems to be the only way to effecitvely fight boss enemies without taking a lot of hits.
Every party member has one unique equipment slot reserved for the weapon. This weapon can be a spell (or staff of chronos). I haven't found a way to tell the party members to use any other spell in the inventory other than the one found in their unique inventory slot.

Indemon Tales is a fun game, but it's lacking in player's interactivity with the characters. I can recall one occurance where I was asked what I would do in the immediate situation. I doubt it had any impact on the story. There should be a lot more ways to interact with the characters.

After playing Overwatch 1 and Overwatch 2 (on battlenet) I can only recommend this game if you want a mindless shooter.
Pick up this game and have a friend to talk to in the background. There is no sense of accomplishment when playing the game. You don't feel you are getting better at the game because you heavily rely on teammates doing their job.
The only reason to play solo is for costumes, which is an atrocious reason. I would rather like the feeling of getting better at something than being rewarded with meaningless garbage.
People generally don't chat nor talk, it feels like playing with bots. This is why I recommend having a friend to talk to.

Early Access Review
Factorio is for you if you enjoy automating stuff and building logic circuits.
The game is constantly being updated and the forum is as active with the developers. It's everything you want from a game. There's also mod support so you can modify the game however you wish.
Not to mention, the game is highly addictive.

Also, kudos to the developers for not using psychological pricing.

The game's serious, hence it is called Serious Sam.
The main character is Sam Serious Stone, he is badass as a person can get!
Sam can hold a cannon, and store the cannon balls in his pockets.

Throughout the game you may find secrets, which is something that modern games are missing.
That's why I like this game.

Everyone should play this game. Serious Sam games may seem to have little to no _active_ communities at all, but it actually does! Do a Google search and you will be surprised. Okay, maybe it is not *that* active, but it is enough to sustain the classic version of the game for over 10 years!

The game comes with an editor! You can make your own character and maps! Perhaps make a whole new game mode(check "Serious Box Solid" in the workshop)! Keep in mind that you will spend a lot of time in the editor, that is if you get to know it well(the community's there to help you).

Overall, the game is a blast! If you liked the previous Serious Sam games, you will surely enjoy the latest installment of Serious Sam game series: Serious Sam Fo- BFE, *Serious Sam 3 BFE*

** TLDR; Buy it. You *NEED* it. **
