10/10

If you enjoy stealth games, indie games, beautifully designed games, historically fictive games, sidescrolling games, or any games at all, then this is the game for you!

Excellent design with solid controls, eye candy art style and fun game mechanics. A must buy for any type of gamer!

Buy. This. Game. I've been looking for something like this for such a long time. It has a perfect blend of realism and fast-pacedness. I've played my fairshare of Counter-Strike, and this is very different. Insurgency goes for a more realistic approach to the moden shooter genre, a stark contrast from games like the Call of Duty franchise and Battlefield 3/4. It is more fast-paced than ARMA, but it still keeps it real with the realism. There are no hitmarkers, kill feeds, or pop-ups to show you that you have killed somebody. I was first annoyed by this aspect as I very much wanted to know if I killed somebody, but now I am getting more used to this aspect, and it really adds to the realism that Insurgency captures. Kills are so much more rewarding in this game than other FPS's that I have tried. You can get killed instantly and not know where it came from, but once in a while you will get multiple kills in a life, and it will be extremely rewarding. The gun customization system is pretty good, and the stock maps that they have now are also quite good.

This game has a learning curve, but it is actually great fun learning the game, and even mroe fun when you learn to master it. A highly recommended game from me, and for only 15 bucks, its hard to go wrong.

Greeetings all potential buyers of Monaco!

Pull your chairs in, and listen to the sound of my voice:

Monaco is a fantastic game. That's the first thing to keep in mind throughout this review. For an Indie game, I am suprised as to how polished and nice looking the game is, with no bugs that I have found or are aware of. The soundtrack is fantastic, and is one of the many things that keeps me coming back to this game. Another great thing about it, is that you can just jump into it and have some fun with it. There is not a lot of tutorial needed to know what you are doing in this game. It is more of a stealth game, than a shooter such as Hotline Miami.

Another point that I want to go over, is the Co-Op mode. Although I do not have a lot of experience with this, from what I remember, it was great fun to see how you can help your friends out with completing a mission as fast as possible. You can look at the game as a casual indie game, but you can also get competitive and try for the leaderboards.

This game has a lot of depth to it. It does very well at creating atmosphere for the player, and it is a lot of fun to just run around the area to not get spotted. Even though the storyline is a little bit thin, it is not the main selling point of this game. If you want a game that you can just jump in an play with for a good amount of time, and not get bored with it, I highly HIGHLY recommend this title!

So go, run, get out your wallet and GET THIS GAME NOW! It has won a multitude of prizes from proffesionals, so don't take my word for it, try reading some other (more proffesional) reviews online, to get convinced of how amazing this game is!

Most likely my favorite game of all time. Infinite replay value, you can easily clock hundreds (thousands?) of hours into it without breaking a sweat. It has a lot more depth than first meets the eye. If you don't have it, it has been on sale numerous times and I would be happy to pick a copy up for you!

Extremely fun to play. Can give you hours of entertainment! If oyu have CSS already, don't excpect it too be very different.
