If I could rate this game, it would be a 4 out of 5 stars.

The story is rather short, but nice, relaxing and doesn't give you thalassophobia like Subnautica gave me. The game is also pretty forgiving for the most part.

The graphics for this being a 2d game was impressive, and shows that even in a day when the majority of new popular games are 3D, a 2D game can and still hold it's own ground. The cut scenes when you upgrade sushi or research a new dish were absolutely gorgeous! And it should be noted, only plays once a day when you upgrade/research something.

The gameplay was pretty good. The game doesn't overwhelm you with a ton of stuff at the start. Everything comes peacemeal, and only comes at you as fast as you progress. In some cases, you can even bypass certain things, like opening up the fish farm and later on the farm if you don't progress with the Otto for instance. Everything opens up at your own pace, be that fast or slow. The only problem I really faced has already been fixed, as a person with dual monitors I'd sometimes lose track of my cursor, and how you aim your harpoon/gun is based on the direction of your cursor. The mini-games inside are fun in their own way, you'll find one that you'll enjoy/find super easy to do, and have at least one you hate, but aside from one side quest, nothing is locked behind playing these minigames.

Overall, I would encourage anyone who might be interested in purchasing this game, to buy it. Even at normal price (currently that's $20), it's well worth it. But if you're on a budget, waiting until it's on sale is perfectly fine as well. There is some good replayability as you can approach the game from multiple angles. And it seems like we'll see some more DLC coming that would making coming back to the Deep Blue Hole a brand new adventure.

If I had to rate the game, it would be a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

As some have already pointed out, the story of the game is sorta weak. The story overall isn't bad, it's decent, if it was a book; it's also pretty predictable. But for a video game, the player's actions absolutely do not matter nor really affect the game world. Sure if you helped out an NPC with a 'good' quest (like killing hostile mobs that are causing problems), that NPC will be like "if it isn't our hero" or something along those lines. But even if you did an 'evil' quest, like robbing someone blind, you face absolutely no consequences. Same for using any of the three Unforgivable spells, even if you use it right in front of the professors, nothing happens.

But the biggest negative on the story is, it's linear. You have no actual choice. Yeah, you can say something that could be considered sarcastic, but you can't actually say "You know what Sebby? I'm siding with your uncle on this one, you're going too far, and you need to stop this." Nope, you're basically forced to go along with the side character with no say in it, except maybe the occasional sarcastic line. Oh, and only like three of the around dozen named student side characters, actually have a story line. While some other side characters do get some time to shine in these story lines, the majority get like one side quest and after that they spend the rest of the game just being a background character lucky enough to be named.

The graphics for the scenery, if you have the rig to handle a high level, is amazing. Once you get the broom and can fly around, there are areas of the world that are just breathtakingly beautiful. But when it comes to the actual characters, it's "meh". The facial expressions are practically none existent outside of cut scenes. And honestly it looks like some of the child NPC's were using adult models that were just shrunk down.

The gameplay is pretty good. The wand fighting and spells are very smooth, and can be fun to do. Chaining spells together is very fun once you've got a grasp on what spells work well together. And once you've unlocked the ability to spend talent points, you can easily create a fighting style that suits your needs. There is a big problem with the talent system though, there is no way to reset it once you've spent a talent point. So you need to think and choose wisely, or you'll have to go back to an earlier save.

The one downside I had with the game was that it would just crash for no reason. When I went to replay for the achievements for playing characters from other Houses from the start (I'm a Hufflepuff according to the HP Fan Club), I always crashed the first time that character was being sorted, and in Rowens class just after learning Accio. I would also crash whenever I would try to load from an older game save while in game. I tried some of the suggestions that people had put out on here and some gaming sites, but nothing worked, so I just powered through it, but it certainly was very annoying to me.

Overall, I would encourage anyone who might be interested in purchasing this game, to buy it... when it's on sale. If you're going to do all the side quests, exploring every nook and cranny of Hogwarts and it's surrounding area, for one character, you'll get a solid 70+ hours of solid fun gameplay. But the replayability of the game is sorely lacking due to the complete lack of character choices in game, unless of course you decide to run a character who'll use the three Unforgivables, and a character who'll refuse to use them. It's just one of those games that's one run and I'm done.

Very awesome game.

RimWorld is a very fun game to play! There are also a ton of mods to download that can expand the game's fun!

Hmmmm... where to begin. I don't do many of these, but I shall try my best.

Well, as you can tell, I enjoy playing Fallout 4. It's a really great and fun game to play! Yes there is no doubt that this game does have it's fair share of issues, but I'd like to borrow a movie term here, it's a beautiful mess!

Story: I'll be frank, the story is kinda weak. It's pretty similar to Fallout 3's storyline, though instead of a son/daughter seeking his/her father, it's a father/mother seeking his/her son. And the ending... well it's not like previous Fallout titles sadly.

Despite the main story being weak, the side stories for characters and companions are pretty good and interesting. And a lot of the lore you can learn about what happened after the bombs fell is interesting!

Graphics: The graphics are pretty good if you've got a rig to handle high settings. There are many mod's available that can help improve them too!

Crafting: Crafting is straight forward and simple, but also helps players adjust their weapons to their play styles! It only gives you a bit of experience, but if you've got a lot of extra resources, take the time to craft guns that adds to their value is a good way to make a lot of money. It's also a helpful way to get that extra dozen or so exp needed to level up fast.

Settlement Building: I'll be honest, you're either going to love it, or hate it. Early on, you're limited on what you can build due to lack of resources and that some very good settlement items are locked behind perks. But as you advanced, and unlock perks necessary, you can create some amazing settlements! And thanks to Bethesda releasing their Vault add-on, you can even build your own above ground vaults! It's really amazing what a lot of people have put their minds too, so check out settlement building videos on youtube to see some amazing and creative people!

Combat: Compared to Fallout 3 and New Vegas, combat has really gotten better! Gun play feels much better than in the previous games as well. And as mentioned above, thanks to crafting, you can craft guns to fit your specific play styles.

Voiced PC: I'm only bringing this up because I know a lot of people have an issue with this. And my response is, I frankly don't have an issue with a voiced PC in Fallout. I know a lot of people whine about how it ruins "their" game, and if that's really a game breaker for them, but that sounds like a personal problem. I don't think the VA work is bad, but I do wish that they'd have hired a few extra VA's to give us alternative voices to choose from.

Finally Creation Club: Another thing that I'm bringing up solely because so many people are whining about it so much! I actually like the idea of the Creation Club. Gives some modders the chance to actually make some side cash on their mods. But I do agree with those complaining that prices are ridiculous! I mean seriously, the armor mods (IE Enclave; Buttercup; Morgan's Space Suit) cost as much as a story DLC! Honestly, I think if they were rolling out with the Creation Club, they would've been better served coming out with a story mod that gave everyone several hours of game play either in or around Boston, or in a new location similar too Nuka World. But it's completely optional, so it's not going to affect your game if you choose to have nothing to do with Creation Club.

Well, I recommend this game, because it's fun, it's interesting, and you'll lose yourself in building your settlements!

This game, it's fun at first, but it gets boring rather quickly. There are still a number of issues the game has, my biggest issue being that a number of times, I've had people who were smaller or roughly the same size as me, eat me as one big cell, yet I couldn't eat them. Another issue that I was having, it takes a few seconds before the game responds to your controls. So often I'd find myself dead even though I hit the split button seconds before I got devoured. I play other online games, and I have no issue with lag in them.

And the community, there isn't much talking in the game... but when there is, it's usually swearing, trolling, bad mouthing or people just being rude/mean to each other just for the sake of it! Just the other day, the guy who was leading in FFA was smack talking everyone in game about how he's the "King" and blah blah blah, well when he finally got taken down, he was pretty much "F this" and "I'm going to hunt you down and make you regret this!" So yeah, don't expect much from the ingame community.

Not to mention that that on the 'team' modes, there isn't a lot of team work. It's more like FFA, except you can't eat a third or half the players, who will go about and steal your kills or would gladly let you sacrifice yourself for them... even when they are the smaller cell. I've even watched a teammate, lets call him John, launch a virus at our biggest teammate, lets call him Phil, to split Phil apart! He was angry because Phil 'dethroned' him as the biggest guy on our team. Sadly, it gave the red team's biggest guy enough size to devour John as well... to which John blamed Phil for getting devoured, and shortly after, the red guy devoured yellow's biggest guy and won the match. John went into a lot of detail about how he's going to f-up Phil...

So I just can't recommend this game. The game is repetitive and boring, the game mechanics and controls react way too slowly, and the community is, well, toxic.

For now, I'm going to put this as "Recommend people to keep an eye on." Currently the game is sorta flat and one dimensional. However, it shows promise, and it's pretty fun if you're looking for something to just pass the time. I haven't tried co-op or multi-player yet, but the idea is interesting.

I've played the first two games, and never really got into them, but Infinite was different. I got really into it, totally different feel from the first two. If you didn't like the first two games, give Infinite a try, you might just enjoy it.
