I think what I love about this game is that it feels so familiar when you play it. The jumping is floaty, the graphics are simple. But it's drop in multiplayer so you don't have to stress about friends lists and stuff like that. It's the closest game to factorio I could convince my friends to play (although they don't like the automation). Great fun.

This is a really fantastic 'Caesar-like' game that uses Steampunk as its setting. Really solid tutorial, campaign, and scenarios. The difficulty is pretty intense, original Caesar level of difficulty, and you're going to have to meticulously

The biggest issues I've had have been technical problems. Upon first load I had a graphics error that no other guide had explained. I had to manually change the Nvidia settings for the individual program to fix this. I'm not sure what setting did it, but it was one of them. I also get frequent crashes. The game just shuts down. I've not lost a lot of progress because of good auto-saving, but otherwise, it's just frustrating to get crashes.

I'm really enjoying the game, if these technical issues went it would be perfect. If you want something Caeser/Pharoh, etc. like, buy this game.

The best and only cyberpunk bartending simulator. Like if tapper got its own visual novel. First picked up the demo after the Dev's demo'd the game at EGX Birmingham (still have a Jill Stingray coaster around here somewhere), and fell in love with the visuals and style. The humour got toned down from the demo's slightly bombastic levels, but retained the charm to deliver on a fantastic narrative. One of the most stylish and enjoyable games you can complete start to finish in under 10 hours. The perfect indy game.

Yakuza Kiwami is one of the best open world games I've ever played. It takes what would have remained a hidden PS2 gem and updates it for modern sensibilities, taking out the frustrating systems of the original, and streamlining everything. It balances a dark brooding story with bizarre humour that takes the edge off what would otherwise be a very dull-deadpan game. With its humour, numerous side quests and distractions it brings humanity to characters which can occasionally verge on overly simplistic. The story isn't overloaded, and when you bunk off of the main quest, you don't feel bad, because Yakuza brings this kind of bombastic over-seriousness to everything from slot-car racing to claw machine games and Karaoke. A must play, and perhaps the series finest entry.

One of those perfect time sinks with enough innovation to keep you coming back. Rogue Legacy meets those Falling Sands flash games

A wonderful homage to the original Theme Hospital with enough new content to give it longevity. Rather than just wacky illnesses, the game adds systems like heating, cooling, sanitation, etc, which make the game far more deep than it has any right to be.

A game you can breeze through one starring ever hospital to get to the end in a few hours, but if you're going to 100% it, and three-star ever hospital, you need a deeper knowledge of the games systems and hidden functions. You can easily sink 50+ hours into this game.

The third of the Arkham Games I've played and only average. Its more of the fun free-flow fighting system, with a story. The story is much longer than the previous two, maybe to its detriment. Forces you to spend a lot of time back tracking and scavenger hunting if you actually want the full story on the game. Only buy on sale. Worth the price I paid, perhaps not for others.

The first and perhaps the best of the 'Arkham' style Batman games. Does some things better than the sequel, makes exploration easier, and keeps the camera at a good distance. Combat is satisfying, simple and enjoyable. Even the most ridiculously high combos can be mastered with ease, so a great casual game.

Not a long game. Completed in 8 hours on my first playthrough (normal difficulty), but you could edge out another 4 for hundred percent, and completing on all difficulties could bring it up to a nice round 20 hours, but not a game you'd feel begrudged playing for that long.

A lot of the appeal comes from the story, perhaps the best in a superhero game. Definitely worth a pick up in a sale. Not worth a purchase without discount.

Genuine story from my first 30 hours with this game:-

>Shores raided by norwegian vikings
>Capture one of their mayors in battle
>Imprison him, and forget about him
>A few years later, trying to fill out my commanders for an upcoming crusade
>Remember the Viking in my dungeon
>Release and recruit him
>Becomes top commander
>Ask him to give up his pagan ways
>Refuses, for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles ask him to tell me about paganism
>He makes some good points
>Oh ♥♥♥♥, I'm secretly worshiping Odin now
>Start a cult, try out my new cult powers
>Persuade my shy, chaste wife to join my cult
>Struggle to get new members
>It gets me down, so wife suggests we head out to a tavern in disguise to blow off some steam
>Get drunk with my wife, in disguise , openly praise Odin together, get wasted
>Some one calls me a heretic
>Tell him to shut his mouth
>He beats the ♥♥♥♥ out of me
>So bad I'm visibly wounded
>Wife drags me home
>We fall in love once again
>Have three sons, all join cult
>Bar brawl wound heals into a scar
>Go on a Crusade, die in Anatolia fighting for Christianity while secretly being Pagan
>My cultist, crusader, deceitful King is remembered as 'Brian 'The Wise'

Best game I own

Bretty Good. Liked it better than the first
