Combat is satisfying, the story is weird and different, the art style is unique and beautiful, and animations are top quality. Cutscenes are like a high budget CG movie.

The combat and powers are fun, the art direction is amazing, and the story is fascinating.

I've had KCD1 in my library for years, and the hype since KCD2 came out made me finally go back and play it. The combat turned me off back when I originally played it, but coming back to it now I finally have the patience to learn it.

I love these games! I finished KCD1 in about a week and now I'm thoroughly enjoying KCD2.

Highly recommend!

Beautiful, meditative, absolutely amazing soundtrack.

Short. ~3 hours, but the art style, story, and voice acting make this worth the money and time spent.

It's a short game, but it makes up for it in sheer delightful content or lack thereof. It's as short or as long as you make it, and as meaningful or meaningless as you want it to be. The Stanley Parable is Gaming distilled to its essence, and twisted to its breaking point. The Stanley Parable puts Gaming in the hotseat at its very own Roast. The Stanley Parable will make you simultaneously appreciate and despise every storytelling trick used in FPS gaming, and 3 hours later you'll look at the games you love in a new light. You'll love your favorites, while wishing, hoping, and knowing that Gaming could be so much more than simple branching pathways and clumsy game mechanics.
