Recent reviews by The Matho

I just finished the game... I have a lot of conflicting feelings...
The game is more bright, more dynamic, bigger more scale, and a lot of revisiting to collect items and new small missions to other areas, Styx voice acting is sublime....
The rest of the cast voice acting + character design, undercook story, lack of cinematics.... (Dude you can't make me release the orcs and don't see how the masacre the guards) Tourches are useless in this edition, just a decoration. No more sliding down on ropes, the multi-sub-menues for skills, so many buggy quest if you don't step in the right place your clues and dialgos are not triggered, no Speedrun or Pacifist objectives or even posibilities of being a Pacifist, No way to go back to the levels after your last mission... The last boss fight... so stupid simple, and yet impossible if you haven't stuck all your throwing daggers and acid traps.

There are some good parts, and I'm so bias because I love this franchise, but I feel really dessapointed at this game, I would prefer a smaller scope on the levels and more effort on other areas... The worst part of all was having to toggle the Unreal settings to disable the crappy motion blur on, that and the granny filter it really made the game look bad, visually Styx Shards of Darkness is far superior in my opinion.
When Styx Shards of darkness was released I was so happy, only a bit confused by the ending, but the game was so good.
I won't lie I'll buy Styx 4 in 10 years when is release.

This game is super adictive and has a lot of replay value, unlocking different ships, guns and pilots, also If you played Race the Sun, this is the same developer, and they included a super cool Easter egg inside in form of a Bonus level, Race the Swarm, very fun, an I'll suggest the developer to actually make a hole mode or level like that, maybe as regard of unlocking all the ships and gear, because it's super cool

No puedo recomendarlo a este juego.
Esta tan pobremente traducido que duele leer la quest mas simple. Diferentes NPC se refieren al mismo objeto con diferentes nombres, es inentendible parece que le pagaron a un niño de 12 años que usa Google Translate, preferiria tener al menos la opcion del juego en Ingles.
Solo ofrecen el paquete base para jugar y no podes usar tu saldo de Steam para comprar Coins para el resto de las compras dentro del juego, en su lugar te envian a la pagina oficial de Red Fox.
El Juego en si es muy complejo, completo y extenso ideal para fanaticos de MMO que no quieren quedarse nunca sin cosas por hacer, las mecanicas de accion son entretenidas y los graficos, musica arte son muy buenos.

Una lastima lo que ha hecho este publisher.
Lamentablemente voy a pedir refund de este producto no se puede jugar de esta forma.

Aclaracion:
Ya tenia una cuenta de este juego con Red Fox cuando salio el juego en Julio, lo jugue mas desde entonces por steam, los que dicen que la traduccion esta bien, es por que rushean las quest y no leen nada, solo los objetivos de las quest y no los dialogos de los personajes.

Very fun plattformer Game, great music, great gameplay, short game.
I can imagine the work put on this game, and I really enjoy it. If this kind of game could have a lvl editor would be awesome, but maybe is to much to ask.
If you like the Indie games with a soul, this is a must play

Portal Stories: Mel is an awesome game for fanatics of the Portal Series, it convines perfectly the main elements of Portal 1 and 2.
The Story is great and it couples with the Stories of Portal 1, 2 and a little of the back story that you can read in "Portal the Final Hours"

The Level Design is more harder than other Portals, forcing you to use lateral thinking.
The Voice acting is very very good.
The Music is very immersive.
The Cinematics and the final scene after the credits is awesome just like the after credits of a Marvel Movie.

If you love Portal games this is a "must finish" game, i thinks this game should be considerer Portal 3 officially if Valve decide to continue with the franchise.

Great game, funny action type, and great achievements. If you loved the Avatar series i totally recomend this game for you, otherwise don't buy it. Because this game is very cheap and you can tell for several details, several scenarios, textures, the enemies IA, etc. This game is not easy to learn and play if you want to buy it for your children i would recommend to set it in easy mode, so they can play having fun and without frustration.

Story 6/10
The story is not very good to my test, if there was more reference to some previous incarnation of the avatar or more explaination about the final enemy i could feel it like an 8.

Gameplay 7/10
The game is action type, each element has several combos that you will unlock when you use each bending type, and a few combos that you can learn buying bending scrolls from the shop.
Also there is the "Pro bending" mode, that is a tournament of pro bending, very hard to beat the final team in extreme mode.
There are some scenarios with Naga, are basically a Temple Run, but with several kinds of obstacles, bosses fight during the run, and Korra using bending while is riding Naga, to be honest in this parts you feel that the game need improvements, but to be fair the game only cost U$S 15, not 50 i mean, is not a 3A Game.
The camera following is very bad... several times you will have to move the camara arround in order to see what's happening...
The collectibles are related to the story of both Avatar series, the voice acting is descent, and has several treats for fans that i ensure you that you will love, like the locutor during the Pro bendings and the Ending when you finish the game.
It took me 24 Hours to beat the game in all the dificulties, getting all the achievements and playing around to improve some scores. But if you wanna play the game in normal mode and the Pro bending normal mode too, probably will take around 6 hours.

Graphics 8/10
The element bendings effects and combos and the characters are great. This cel shading stlye matches great with the Avatar Series

Sound & Music 7/8
The music is the same from the show, the start screen tutorial and ending makes you feel that you are watching the series again, some voice acting are great, others need some work, unfortanly the game is very short the story only shows very few characters of the series amost none of them...

Total 7/10
As i said if you love Avatar series, i totally recomend it keep in mind that this game is very cheap, so you should not spect a "Shadow of Mordor" Quality game, also is very short, if you are hardcored gamer, the achievements are very funny and is not impossible to get the 100% achievements.

Sonic Generations is a huge tribute to the most popular Sonic game, you can have both the old school sonic and the modern sonic styles of game and the most remembered scenarios and songs from previous Sonic games also has a lot of great artwork, unfortunately has several bugs and i don't recommend you to complete all the achievements.. is too hard with those bugs

Gameplay 8/10
I loved the gameplay, you will have 9 scenarios over 2 acts, these scenarios are map inspired and almost the same from Sonic 1, 2, 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors. Can seem that are not many maps, but you can play also over 90 challenges.

Classic Sonic mode: is the classic platform mode, when you clear the challenges you can use the Electric, Fire, Bubble and Sonic 1 shields.
Modern Sonic mode: is a third person mode, in which sonic can lock and hit targets and use Turbo, the third person perspective switches with a platform in several part of each map.

The only thing i hate was the final boss fight, i didn't get anthing that was going on.. to much effects weird angles.. and also for me there was several maps in modern sonic that were tricky and confusing but if you play Sonic Adventure previously, this probably won't be an issue.

The difficulty of the game is up to you, you can try to get S in all the stages, and make all the challenges, or simply pass the story, but all the boss fights are very easy.. like in every Sonic games the boss has simple patterns.

I took me 29 hours to unlock all the Achievements, because of a bug took me some hours to figure it out.
Just plaing the story with cinematics can be done in 5, you are forced to play some challenges to unlock the new stages.

Graphics 9/10
The graphics are pretty descent the only problem is playing using Steam Streaming, i tried but for some reason the image capture of Steam was too slow and couldn't play it that way. And the 2d to 3d charater transformation were great.

Sound & Music 9/10
The music and sounds are from the previous Sonic games but with a loot of more quality, brings my childhood back each time i hear the Sonic spins, hits fire shield sounds etc. I think the sound work is awesome.

Bugs & stability 5/10
Several times i found bugs, like the Ranked Attack maps crashes every time... i could find how to "skip" the bug but also has a lot of work and very frustrating...
Some scenarios had a few parts with bad collision but almost never caused me getting kill.

Total 7/10
I totally recommend you this game if you love classics Sega Genesis Sonic i guarantee that you will enjoy it and bring your childhood back a couple of hours. I hope this review were useful to you and tanks for reading.

Regards!

This game has a great potential, but unfortunately is too short, i just end up the game in 5.5 hours (Normal difficulty), the other weak spot is that this game is too old, not even had Steam Achievements/Cards, and the graphics are not great (for today's standards), but the way that the water moves and its behaviours when you open a flooded room and floods the previous room is just Awesome

Gameplay 7/10
This game has a great potential, it has many features like:

• Camera hacking (just like Watchdogs)
  
• Doors/Keys Decrypt system (just like Batman Arkham Asylum)
  
• Vertical climbing
  
• Several shooting mechanics: Sticky "mini bombs" bullets that has a timmer to explote, electrical bullets to electrify underwater enemies also with timmer, semi automatic, Sonic shots, etc
  
• Take cover and shoot
  
• Environment elements that can explote or Electrocute enemies, shoot to electric cables on water to cut them and avoid to be electrocuted, etc

Graphics 6/10
Unfortunately this game is to old and it graphics are prove of it, but they are not really soo bad the water effects are pretty decent, the way that the water fills the rooms and floods corredors, etc, is great and almost real, and I really think that you will enjoy it.

Audio 7/10
The Music is pretty decent, and the voice acting has some moments, the background sounds are everywhere, but is not the strongest point of the game

Price
Since is a very old game, from 2011, the price is more than accesible only $5 on regular price it cost like $0.99 on sale. I think that the game is very short, but if you are in "i wanna play a game that feels like a movie" mood it's a perfect game.


Total 7/10
I think that this game has been extremely underated, yes now it's old and is very short, but the mechanics great and the effort that the developer spend on handle the water is very notable. If the game were released now, even being more expensive and with better graphics i think that totally will be worth it.

Great Game, only for gammers who loves Stealth and Hard mode (Goblin mode), is a spin-off of Of Orcs and Men (RPG-Realtime-Strategic combat). This is not a AAA, there are a lots of buggy scenarios, animations and objects collisions that can be improve it, also i could have better textures, however has a loots of fun, every time you effort in not been saw, don't kill or kill in a very strategic/fancy/cool way is really satisfactory

Story 8/10

I loved the story as much as Of Orcs and Men, is a fantasy world very original, were Greenskins are not "evil just because". This game explains the origin of Styx and the Goblins in this universe, there are several twist and i personally love it. Besides i'm a fan of this universe, the story is pretty decent, i didn't saw coming the twist and i hove that everybody enjoys it

Graphics 7/10

When you are jumping and climbing and looking at the huge maps and buildings looks awesome, but a lot of playing is from above a table or in secret passages have a very close camera angles/first-person view, which reveals that the textures are not best. The light effect are very great, fire are decent, the water effect are very very poor and the dust/particles physic doesn't exist.
The artistic design is very great too, moving images will be telling you the story when you finish missions, and the cosmetic of the maps is original and decent.

Gameplay (Extreme mode 8/10, Easy/Normal/Hard mode 5/10)

When you play in Hard mode and above to be honest, the game doesn't make it, when someone catch you the duel mode is like a quick event, but is pretty straightforward.
When you play in the Hardest mode (Goblin mode) when an enemy has you in range he just kill you in 1 hit, also range attacks makes you a lots of damage or kill you in 1 hit, this forces you to play it has is meant, been an very small creature which advantage is to be really sneaky .
I Played more than 64 Hours, unlock all achievements and all the Badges and Skills. And was very fun, and very rewarding each sneaky kill avoiding been catch, and explore the entire maps, the maps are HUGE! (besides, you are a tiny goblin), also unlock all the badges will give you Skill points, some are useless (skills related to make duels) and another ones adds new ways to kill enemies, animations and was very nice to unlock skills that don't just add you more Life/Defense or increase other skills duration.

Price 7.5/10

I think that the price is almost reasonable for the content, in generals terms is a great game and i really hope that this company continue making games from this universe and this kind of games, but to be honest is very buggy, you can tell some quality has been cut, there are animations that are missing and collision between objects is not awesome, some physics are missing, like you can kill someone jumping insanely high, etc. If you are doubting about buy or no this game, and there is a sale, i think that you won't have any regrets.

Final 7/10

Good Story, good Gameplay, decent Graphics, I only recommend to play it in Goblin Mode. There are many bugs, and a lot of things can be improve it, but it totally recommend this game if you want an original story, and love stealth gameshttp://store.steampowered.com/app/242640/#

+ Graficos
+ Diseño visual
+/- historia, personalmente me gusto pero creo que se quedo un poco corta
- Caminos lineales

Es uno de esos juegos que jugas con humor de "quiero ver una pelicula".
Lo recomiendo, pero en sale. No he jugado los juegos anteriores asi que es una opinion fuera de los amantes de la franquicia.

Spoilers ! spoilers?

Seria mas entrenido si hubiera un poco mas de accion en el Mecha, al principio basicamente es un transporte, luego empiezas a usarlo + y le agregan varias mejoras interezantes en terminos de ataques y equipamiento. Si hubieran explotado mas los combates en mecas y las direntes armas y partes que tiene seria un Excelente juego.
