Hades II is an incredible evolution of the original. Combat feels smoother, the new magic system adds real depth, and Melinoë is a fantastic protagonist with her own identity and charm. The world is gorgeous, the music is amazing, and every run feels rewarding. If you loved the first game, this one raises the bar in every way. Highly recommended.

I was immediately drawn to Ghost Town because I loved the VR entry in Fireproof Games’ The Room series—its tactile puzzles and immersive atmosphere had me hooked, so I jumped into their third VR title without hesitation.

What I enjoyed most was its pervasive sense of the occult. Every chamber feels steeped in hidden lore, from the softly glowing runes etched into walls to the subtle echoes of distant incantations. The VR interactions, twisting ornate dials, sliding concealed panels, and coaxing arcane contraptions to life, are as satisfying and precise as ever, making each puzzle a delight to manipulate.

Edith Penrose’s personal quest to find her missing brother adds genuine emotional weight, and I appreciated how every challenge ties back into the story. The sound design and environmental detail work in concert to keep you fully engaged, whether you’re deciphering cryptic inscriptions or unraveling the next ingenious mechanism.

My only reservation is its length: at around four hours, the experience wraps up just as you’re settling into its rhythm, and the $29.99 price tag can feel a touch high for that runtime. That said, the passion and craftsmanship evident in every handcrafted environment and clever puzzle more than justify the cost—I could feel Fireproof’s dedication in every moment.

For fans of The Room series and anyone who savors finely tuned VR puzzle‑adventures, Ghost Town is well worth your time. Its compact size belies the depth of its atmosphere and design, and I can’t wait to see what Fireproof Games dreams up next.

I love the Elder Scrolls Series and I would also love to like this game as well. However, I can't because my steam account is tied to someone else's ESO account and Bethesda won't help me un-link their god-forsaken account from mine. So until that happens I guess this is one of the games I will never end up being able to play even though I own it.

EDIT:
I wanted to leave an update about the situation. I am finally able to get access to my steam copy of ESO again. It took me tracking down who had signed into my account. I'm not going to lie about it. It ended up being my idiot brother who didn't dare to say he messed up and linked my account to his ESO account by accident. But regardless, I had him contact Bethesda to make a ticket to un-link my Steam account from his ESO account.

The fact that it took me having to track the person down who did it is honestly stupid. Yes, it made fixing the situation easier, but it doesn't help the fact that Bethesda said they were not going to help with the issue unless the person who did it contacted them. Which is honestly stupid because I can prove I own the steam account and the fact I bought the game. To add insult to injury, any DLC I purchased was registered to his account and I have no way to access that content now without purchasing the DLC again.

So TLDR is If you buy a game that registers a game license to an account like ESO. Sign into the game at least once to make sure this doesn't happen to you. I now need to re-purchase any dlc I had bought that I don't have access to anymore. As for the review, I plan to leave it with a thumbs-down. Not because the game is bad, but because their customer service sucks when they are not willing to try to help.

Just beat this purr-fect game! I give it 10/10 meows.

Whether you you want to explore or fight enemies this game has it all. Dragons, bandits, annoying talking dogs. It's the best game with the best modding ocmpunity around. Great people and a great game!

Its great and makes improvements where its predecessor had faults! If there was only one thing missing from the game that i could think of would be the ability to slide and shoot after running. ;D I give this game so far 10/10 till i find something i dont like :P

Great Visual Novel! Although this was an impulss purchase on my part it was actualy alot beter then i anticipated from other visual novels i have seen. Once Vol.2 is out ill be sure to "impulssivley" buy it as well lol. XD

I love this game and plan on playing it till my computer breaks down. and when it does ill start playing it on either my xbox or my ps3 seeing i own it on both XD!
