Does Starship Troopers about 60% better than Starship Troopers did.

Every single aspect of the original game has been improved upon, with tons of new goodies to play with, all whilst keeping the same feel of the original experience. 10/10 this is how to do a remaster.

First review for a video game. Other than Bastion / Child of Light it just hasn't felt worth it for orher games.

I've played many hours of many video games, hundreds in some, thousands in others. The few hours I spent playing Episode 1 and 2 of this game moved me enough to write a review. I'll keep this as TL:DR as possible.

This game will make you fall in love with games and remind you that they are a platform for art just as much as books/comics/movies/tv.
People will make comparisons to the Telltale Games series. Genre and mechanics are similar, but very refreshingly different in all other aspects.

PROS:
-Incredibly in-depth, immersive and changeable storyline
-Unpredictable
-Best soundtrack of any game ever
-Characters you actually care about
-Ability to take back your initial choices, but be forced to live with the consequences of your final decisions
-See if you made the same choices as the rest of the world after playing through an episode
-Stunning, smooth and in-depth visuals
-Voice acting is top-notch
-A world you will love to lose yourself in
-So many feels

CONS:
-Trailer gives away too much
-Lip-synching and facial expressions do not align with the dialogue a lot of the time, has the unfortunate side-effect of reminding you you're playing a game
-Many will find the episodes too short, personally I found them perfectly timed.
-Waiting for the next episode is painful, like Game of Thrones painful
-In the 'previously on' sequence at the start of Episode 2, you are shown the pivotal moments from the last episode, but not the pivitol decisions you made in those moments - a sorely missed opportunity.
-You will most likely be left with a sense of melancholy aimlessness after playing, because nothing can quite stack up to what you've just experienced. Have something simple and light-hearted on hand for post-play.

10/10 - Would reverse time so I can buy and play again.
