I mainly got this to see high-quality videos of Reinhard Heydrich strutting around.

It's a puzzle game/documentary mix, and it takes under 5 hours to complete. It's not crap but I don't recommend buying this for more than 5 euros.
It doesn't really offer any new information about Heydrich's rule in Czechoslovakia either.

Of all three Expeditions games, this is the best. Awesome setting, can't really go wrong with ancient rome. Good story with great dialogue and characters. I never felt the urge to skip conversations. It was was equally engaging to have peaceful meetings with potential allies and future foes as it was to go into battle.

The combat is nice, especially the large, multilayered battles at the end of the chapters.

The tactical legion-battles can be overwhelming at first but don't worry about it.

Phenomenal dungeon synth / dark ambient music

This expanded but faithful remake does everything the original did but better. The graphics are beautiful, the voice acting is superb, making the characters much more believable and memorable, and the cutscenes are top-tier.

If you've never played the original, Mafia is a linear mission-by-mission game set in an open city in America during the prohibition era. You play as Thomas Angelo, a cabbie driver who gets involved with one of the cities major crime families. The rest is up to you to experience.

Mafia 1 (and 2) really are storytelling masterpieces. You will not be disappointed with this purchase, just don't give up at the racing mission.

Mouse smoothing that you cannot turn off.

It's funny how games from 2000 and before had great raw input mouse aiming but yet here we are in 2021 still trying to figure it out.

Works like a charm. People are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the installer but it worked flawlessly for me. A 90GB installation, took about 90 minutes for me.

The game runs well.

I got it to work in 120 fps without the game being in super-speed.

The world is beautiful and full of stuff while still being barren and destroyed. Fun things around every corner, good environmental storytelling. The settlement building is also addicting and you can get very creative, but it's nothing you have to do.

I hate the fact that the protagonist is voiced though, I don't think that was a good idea in a game like this. The male voice actor is such a softie aswell, he doesn't live up to my Dan Severn Mustache[www.google.com] wearing character of german descent at all.

A hidden gem if there ever was one, Arx Fatalis was unfortunately released a little less than 2 months after the release of Morrowind, so it basically got overshadowed by the beast that was TES III.
I definitely wouldn't say this game is better than Morrowind. Still, this is a must for any fan of medieval role-playing games.

Set underground, this game offers an interesting story with interesting characters, character-building and fun areas to explore.
It also has an interesting and fun - albeit clunky - magic system that I've never seen in any other game, where you actually draw the magical runes in the air. It makes magic feel more...arcane. Myees...punny.



You can even make your own bread and applepies(!) in this game.

You will probably have to download the mod Arx Libertatis to make this game work properly

Not much different from Human Revolution. The story started faster in this though and you get put into the action much faster than HR, which made it kind of chaotic for me. I much more prefered the second half of the game.

Notes: Very long loadingscreens, at least for me (I do not have an SSD)
And disable "Pickup outline" in gameplay options, for gods sake.

Good action-stealth game, the dlc's are fun aswell if you want more, but it's not a must.

Soulless, buggy, laggy and BORING. A world filled with ugly half finished huts and the graphics will make you laugh, is this game just using templates from that unity engine?

The devs doesn't give a damn about the game. They thought making a game would be easy and when they saw how difficult it was they just said screw it and they bought weed and hamburgers with the money.

If I didn't get this from humblebundle I would refund the game in a heartbeat.

0/10 worthless, soulless, boring.
