Five Word Review: Typically TellTale, enjoy the story.
Favorite Thing: Since the gameplay has become so copy & paste it all rides on the story. I really liked it, especially the back stories.
Least Favorite Thing: TellTale gameplay really needs to evolve.

Date Completed: 2018-05-12
Playtime: ~ 9h
Enjoyment: 8/10
Recommendation: If you like interactive movies then yeah, it's worth it for the story.
The single biggest pro I can think about for 'Miscreated' is that the Devs are still patching the game regularly. This game has been released into Early Access 2014 and they are still actively working on it. ~claps~

Also the world seems filled with content and is visually really pleasing and enjoyable. So why the 'Skip'?  The game is horribly optimised, has no tutorial or ingame information on how things work, the player has an inventory but it is so broken that when you go into the steam community hub and search for "inventory" you get more than 120 pages with each 10 posts which complain about various bugs with just the inventory.
If you get stuck you can suicide, but only when you wait for 5 minutes... in the menu. When you close and reopen the menu, you have to wait 5 minutes again. You got stuck? Here do nothing for 5 minutes.
When you have a weapon equipped and the press the "punch" key you immidiatly drop all your main weapons and go into fist combat. You have a stamina meter that depletes in 25% chunks each time you jump, but doesn't deplete at all when you sprint.

So it is a broken survival MMO. Skip it for now. If it ever leaves EarlyAccess it might be worth another look as the problems it has, are not unfixable, but for now, just don't play it.
«Waste of time»
Maybe it’s not a game to spend hours in it but it’s enjoyable. The strategy aspect is done right here, and a variety of maps and difficulties definitely adds the game some extra points. If you play it for long, the gameplay becomes a little repetitive, however, it’s perfect to kill some spare time and have fun.  
The Final Station is one of those narrative driven games that are not so impressive in the gameplay aspect but have amazing stories to tell you. This game is involving and beautiful, unlike most narrative driven games currently are. It’s also very beautiful and let’s you uncover the plot through experiencing different situations. If you expect a gameplay-centric game, this title is not for you but if you ready to dive into a great story, you’re welcome.  
Keep in mind that there is a chance you won’t be able to use your controllers. The game controls are simple - you need only D-pad and a button to jump - but my Elecom SNES USB controllers don’t fit it. The problem is that you can’t skip inputs. So - I want to play, and I can’t, and this is confusing.  
You need time to master this game and start to win matches but the game is worth to spend some time. It’s not another title where the match is already lost by the moment you’re ready to fight. The variety of champions is huge, and you can choose and custom a champ for your personal playstyle. There are no similar champions here - they all have unique powers and abilities, and together with users’ customization they become even more original. And, as I may see, everything is balanced. The devs made a big work with this system, and it works great.

Skip
The story in this game is one huge disappointment. It develops quite normal but the ending is awful. The game leaves you with questions and suggestions but doesn’t explain anything and you sit and stare at the credits and think “WTF, really?” Here is a secret ending and the story is the opposite: it’s spoiled in the middle of the game and there’s no matter to reveal it separately. The game thinks it’s smart but it’s frustrating. I feel really devastated because I’m sure they could do a much better ending here.  
Exceptional
I can spend days in this game and it’s never annoying or boring. The gameplay is challenging but simple, level design is great, the visuals and sounds deserve a special compliment. Everything is done perfectly here, and I highly recommend this game.  
Now not many people play this game and as a result it has a smurf problem. It’s annoying when experienced players come and humiliate low level ones. I hope, the situation will change in a while but now the game is not very enjoyable to play. 
Exceptional
One of the best games to play with your buddies. It may ruin your friendship but it’s worth the risk. The game is extremely fun with excellent minigames, modes and new skins you can unlock. It’s fast and messy but keeps you involved from the beginning till the end. Don’t hesitate, buy it and play with a friend.

The game is too expensive. The gameplay becomes repetitive quickly, the story seems to be great but the ending ruins everything good about it. The game is short and I can’t say it bad. It doesn’t deserve its money. Better wait and buy it on sale, then your disappointment won’t be so expensive at least.  
When I just started playing, I noticed only a few problems - clunky UI, the ingame market system, but all the rest was perfect. I really enjoyed the first two campaigns and then the fun was over. The game turned into Call of Duty something but with more enemies. That was the end of any strategy building and fun. Don’t recommend, if only you want to play this game for two hours and leave it forever.  
The balance here is broken. On normal difficulty you don’t have many weapons to choose, on the hard mode you get killed in one or two shots, and all weapons in the world won’t save you. That’s not like the game must work.  
«Disappointment of the year»
No complaints but the gameplay. You may think it’s an easy game but you’re wrong. It’s quite hard even on the first level and becomes harder as you go further. By the middle of the game you are so stressed and frustrated that you can’t see all this brightness and happy Loco Roco.  
«Oh God i managed it»
I’ve been waiting for this release but I can’t call what I’ve got a good game. It’s hard on the Trial of Iron mode not because of the challenge but because of bugs and the lack of autosaves (one in 3 hours, really? It’s not challenging, it’s frustrating). And maybe my review would be better if there were no more problems.
But here they are:
- errors and unclear information in descriptions, no special information in many skills
- limited companion customization, so you choose between a character you like and a character that can fight
- I want them to be the same guy!
- bugs, one more time.
So, I don’t recommend to buy the game now. Maybe, on sale some day or at least after patching.

Fe is a game of amazing mechanics you’re excited to explore and use. Here are “Singing” to interact with animals and plants (like in a fairy tale) and “Rope” to make connections between people. It seems to the be main mechanics here, as the friendship is the core idea of the game, according to the devs. There is, however, a “Stick” feature to keep people away if you want so. I think this game incredibly nicely plays with the idea of friendship and exploring the world through cooperation and communication. And, of course, it’s an awesome game to share with a friend.  
Deadfire feels like Pillars 1 but with more awesome stuff added. The game wins at every aspect, and I have no words to say how great is the story, music and voice acting. There are some changes in combat system, so it became smoother, and also ship building/combat appeared - and I like it much more than the same option with castles. And here you can load in the file from PoE1! In other words, go buy this amazing game now!

«Can’t stop playing»
If you like shooting more and more various enemies with different guns, this game will leave you happy. Every piece of content is done perfectly, from the smallest insect to the largest dragon. But when the entire screen is filled with enemies, the graphics lags a little.

This game is full of joy and happiness. Everything is bright and light, the music is happy, the gameplay is fun. Just a better version of the original PSP title.
«Sit back and relax»
«OST on repeat»
Better wait for a patch, ‘cause now the game is over-bugged. That’s sad - I thought they specially delayed the game to fix it. The biggest problem is that bugs appear when you load your save from PoE - listen, that shouldn’t work this way. So maybe we all should wait and buy Deadfire only when the problems will be solved.
