Top tier RPG. I expected just a barebone tactics game with some RPG mechanics, like leveling up and stat progression, but this is actually a full RPG and a great one at that. The writing is top notch and I am having a blast 60 hours in. Completely consumed the end of my winter break.

Domina is a great little game that keeps getting new features years after release through very reasonably-priced DLC. Recently, it even got multiplayer.

But more than that, with your purchase you not only get the game, but also the patch notes of the alpha chad philosopher dev, who does not shy away from teaching you all you need to know about economics, anatomy, immunology, relationship advice and even forensic criminology. In fact, I would place them as the greatest work in all literature, second only to The Count of Monte Cristo by Père Alexandre Dumas.

Talking to girls and using the worst messenger, hahahahaha, preposterous! #CouldNotRelateTo
Also: talking about things you have not selected to an annoying brat as opposed to chatting to Mike about RuneScape.

Basically Battlefield 1942 with microtransactions. Some compare this to Red Orchestra, but nothing could be further from truth. The weapons are very gamey and in no way reflect their historical values, e.g. Mosin-Nagant and SVT40 fire the same cartridge, but have completely different damage values, making the latter somewhat of a rare sight past rank 5. The choice of planes is rather weird too, with Emils fighting Yak-9s. This in itself is not necessarily a problem considering that this is basically a very arcady Battlefield game that puts greater emphasis on balance than it does on realism. Unfortunately, that very balance is simply not present in the game. The German team is repeatedly stacked by experienced players, resulting in the US and the USSR losing mere minutes into the match. The problem is further aggravated by a complete lack of balance in terms of equipment available to any two teams. As such, one team—and unfortunately this is not a mere hypothetical, but rather the routine—may spawn with nothing but starting rifles, whereas the other team will have both heavy armour and air support that you have no effective way of dealing with.

Fact is, this game is neither here nor there. War Thunder offers significantly better tank and air combat, Red Orchestra games offer significantly better infantry combat, both are significantly better balanced, which, considering that we are talking about the War “no Russian bias in the country park” Thunder, is quite a feat in itself. I like tooting my horn, the map and riding the bike though. Unfortunately that alone is not enough to justify a recommendation.

PS: The community is just as bad as in every other free-to-play game, rampant with the usual customer loyalty, inability to deal with criticism and most other aspects that are commonly associated with puberty.

It is like War Thunder, but not very good.

An absolutely amazing JRPG. Arguably the best one I have ever played.

Teribad.

Update at book three: Undoubtedly the most boring adventure game I have ever played. The characters are so poorly written that you would be better off just reading TLJ fanfiction. Save the money and the time.

Original review at the end of book one:

Very mixed feelings on this one.

+ Very pretty at times
+ Music and visuals fit together nicely (atmospheric)
[+ Dialogue can be very frank and natural] Update: Nevermind, even this becomes terrible later on.
+ Interesting dream world (but very little of it)
+ Promising choice system (One my choices was picked only by 1.9% of players. A different choice that was seemingly cosmetic changed my character's career.)

- Overtly and self-righteously political (I sincerely hope there is a plot twist coming and it seems like it really might be, because thus far it felt more like really bad propaganda than a political commentary [or a game about dreams for that matter!]. It's two-dimensional, militant and above all unpleasant. There is no middle ground.)
- Terrible performance on modern hardware (main hub)
- Nothing of essence happens in Part 1 (even the cliffhanger is a little dull)
- Dialogue can be really bad and both the main character and her boyfriend sound like incredibly pretentious holier-than-thou types

Maybe it would be better to wait for more parts to come out. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't spoil anything because nothing really happened.

It's quite charming. Thanks, bro. Completion time: 1.2 hrs.

A very minimal port, but whatever. It's Final Fantasy for PC.
