This is a fantastic game!

This game was beautiful. I don't have the words to describe it, and I doubt the developers would ever see them if I did. Thank you.

I'll edit this review to provide more detail later, but for now, this game definitely deserves my recommendation!

Fantastic through the first two chapters. Played it with my girlfriend, we both love (and might be in love with) Max. I hope Amanda actually turns out to be a real romance option - she's Indigenous coded and she's AWESOME.

Great and worth the price honestly. They served.

I've been critical of FHM before. But, at least as a jump from FHM 8 to 10, FHM 10 is a large improvement in the multiplayer scene as well as in general. The sim engine just feels deeper. Keep it up guys, can't wait for FHM 111.

THE MIGHT, LIBERATIOUS FIST OF CAPITALIST SUPEREARTH WILL SPREAD MANAGED DEMOCRACY TO ALL CORNERS OF THE EARTH!

Loving this game. It has problems, but it had many more before I started playing - that is, the devs have been consistently dealing with them. This game is for a very specific type of 4X fan (as well as lovers of the idea and whatnot) and for those fans it is spectacular, both in potential but also current gameplay imo.

Oh, and if you have issues with the length, just play the accelerated mode. That's what it's there for dawg.

!THIS IS A NON SPOILER REVIEW!

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is an absolutely wonderful recreation and expansion upon the main game; and, as an owner of the first game, I can stay with absolute confidence that it is worth the price tag (especially if you too own the first game, as I believe you get a small discount.)

The new content is integrated in such a way as to not interfere with the old content, leaving it accessible, whilst also greatly expanding both with new content which is pathed on its own, as well as additional secrets and expansions to older contents (I'm looking at you, elevators with buttons!!)

STRONGLY recommend for fans of the genre, and of the first game.

Additionally,

From the ashes of depravity rises the phoenix of quality. How else to describe the Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe? Such a revolutionary step forward in the lineage of one of the most beloved video game properties of all time! The additions and changes made to this expansion will surely resonate in the annuls of history of all media ever made. It is perhaps true to say that no mistakes are forever etched in stone for the stone into which the Stanley Parable was carved has itself been transmuted offering a message of hope to those who have ever erred in their judgment. You are not beyond redemption. You may change, and you may become more so much more than you were before. If there is any message to be taken from the Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe it is this... What a fortune, a privilege, a joy it is to have had such an experience it leaves me hopeful that as a community - as a world there is time for us to become our greatest selves as great as we ever could dream of in out wildest, most ambitious visions for a brighter future.

Often sequels don't quite live up to the name, but this truly does imo. They have done a lovely job, this game already feels very complete and they plan to add more content? These devs deserve your support people!
