Seems good so far, still lots I haven't seen yet.

Well worth the discounted/sale price. I can't say how it was at launch, but it seems to have been updated quite a bit since then. There is a slight feeling of 'what am I supposed to be doing?/Why am I doing this?, but really.. why does anyone do anything? It's as 'meaningful' as any game, as far as games go. Apart from multiplayer interaction, you could say the same thing about pretty much anything people do.

It's like Dark Souls.. XD. I'm not a huge DS fan, I started later in the series with Bloodborne and am by no means a hardcore expert here, but even as a somewhat casual player, this is a lot of game in one little package. Even if you're terrible at video games, there's so much to explore and so many options here that it's still fun to just explore and mess around with things that you find. I can't speak for the hardcore DS speedrunner who's looking to glitch their way to a 10 min victory, but anyone else should have a great time with this one.

What Diablo 3 should have been.

Very well made. Minimal plot, you literally just get dropped on Mars in a tiny jump pod, and that's it. Figure out how to survive. There is some instruction for how to get started, and the survival mechanics are somewhat forgiving. It won't 'kill you' if you starve or run out of oxygen, it just prevents you from exploring beyond the safety of your capsule, or whatever else you can build. If you want to explore further, it's up to you to extend your reach as far as you can. Still working on it, looking forward to the official release. (Don't forget to enable Beta content for the full package).

Probly the best TBS (turn-based strategy) game yet. Well worth the full price, even better on sale. The normal campaign itself is plenty of content with lots of replay value, since u can use different units, and most maps are proceedurally/randomly generated, so it's a bit different every time, no two campaigns are identical. Then they also threw in some custom map tools for multiplayer or just to test out different things.

The Anxiety Simulator.

Well worth the price of 0. Better than most of it's kind

More than just a softcore porn dramedy, this game actually has an interesting tactical strategy element to it, like Heroes of Might and Magic in space, with spicy cutscenes in between the action.
