Good example of digital tabletop game. Every parameter is count differently and lead to different way to win. But it is hard. Somehow you start acting as your character's nature.
Artstyle just perfect — animated cards keep you busy while you waiting your turn. After adding sellable dice skins and special events you can be sure, that player base stays here for long.

Tried 3 times, but never was close to the end. Boring.
Have a platinum trophy on this one)
Its actually not so bad, but no in sandbox way. For sandbox this game do not propose any motivation to explore the world: no interesting quests, no best gear which I can find only by exploration, no achievements or so. Just cool locations for time spending. These shrines doesn't do it best game ever.
So if you will just go straight to the storyline, you will actually love it.
Back in the days had some good evenings on this one with my girlfriend.
First – I never played the original games (booing is heard in a room), so I won’t compare the original and the reboot, but I really liked the new one. Ratchet & Clank ticked all the right boxes for me: it looks great, has a cool protagonist and a lovely sidekick, a lot of nice characters, tons of cool guns, from your typical blaster to a “shotgun” that transforms all the enemies into pixels, as well as a fireworks launcher (with some epic music playing while firing), many different gadgets that unlock throughout the story and allowing you to re-visit previous places to collect all the things metroidvania-style and a nice set of locations to see and bosses to kill.

The story is nothing special, but it does its job to keep you going and allows for some character development. The most important part – the game keeps you hooked, there is no time when I didn’t know what to do or was bored. As soon as story was slowing down a bit – game gave me a new mechanic to play with (jetpack levels are the best) or a new location to visit. So, if you want to spend your weekends playing a very polished, colorful game that will let you destroy tons of bad guys with all the imaginable guns in the universe, then I recommend you checking it out.

Brought back some nice childhood memories and the new updated graphics were just awesome.

Three things I can't resist to are first person puzzle games, Sci-Fi and beautiful graphics. The Turing Test looked to me like just a beautiful UE4 game in space, but I actually got good puzzle game as well.

Like everything else in this genre, The Turing Test is inspired by Portal and has a lot familliar things. Same chapter divisions with lots of test chambers, "blocky" art style, abandoned facility, AI that guides us through. The thing is tho, it feels way more original than others.

Good things about this game are graphics, story and game design. While the first one talks for itself, the story is kind of special. It's alike Portal 2 plot, but things you can find around, like photos, voice logs and just dialogs make this feel unique. There's also an interesting question asked by writers: Is machine able to do the right thing? What is machine learning? What IS the right thing? You will find a lot of interesting references and phylosophical thoughts on these questions, as well as some curious moments when you realise that TOM is actually just repeating crew's words. Another interesting thing is that you actually play as AI, not as human. And in the end you should make your choice. As AI. Not as human.

Game design part is good in terms of guiding player. Sometimes, when I felt that I can't understand how to solve the chamber, I started to just walk around and mess with things. Just walking around lead me to the way that developers left for players and I could quickly understand the solution.

Bad things about the game: it's short, it's easy (because of the game design part, huh). You can replay it, it will still be interesting because of environment, but it won't take you long time to solve all the puzzles initially, and then it may become boring pretty soon.

Is it a good game and is it worth it? I'd say yes. Just because you can beat this pretty fast, I'd say it's like 7/10, but I hardly recomment you this beautiful and stunning game.

The game gives you opportunities to decide what you want to do and what you don't want to do, and then says "Wow, how could you do that? You are a horrible person. No morale here, you're just horrible. Now all your characters will be depressed, and at the end we'll tell you that you did everything wrong once again."

THIS GAME IS SO GOOD. I SPENT 51 HOURS IN 3 DAYS BEATING THIS GAME.

It was good at first, but it got boring really fast. Repetitive boss fights and puzzles that feel out of place in a home make the game feel less like horror and more like they were trying to hard to reach multiple audiences. It was a step in the right direction for the series, but they need to take another step before they reach it's best.

A lot of variety in ways to play. You can go full human, full alien, or a good mix of both. A unique story with a strong start, a middle that kept me going, and an ending that could have been better but didn't ruin the experience.

A great start to storytelling in virtual reality.
Cancerous community. Not very accessible to people new to MOBA's, low skill cap.
People give it a lot of crap, but I enjoyed the concept and the story took me for a ride that wasn't really present at a time where COD was just starting to repeat itself. However: DO NOT PLAY IT'S SEQUEL.

Would you kindly just play this game and take the general public's word about how great this game/series is?

I was NOT expecting what I got. I had never played the first Darkness game and I got this in a Humble Bundle ages ago so I went in blind. What I ended up getting was a supernatural mafia shooter game with snakes and british farting demons. This game has major charm. The shooting is extremely smooth and with the Darkness snakes alongside you, you're able to get creative with how you kill. You can pick up a pool stick and impale the enemy against the wall or lift them up and throw them into their friend, knocking them down and getting and easy double kill. You can also simply rip them in half then tear their heart out for combat upgrades. I could go on and on about how you can kill them, but that would take ages. The combat isn't the only great thing about this game. The story places Jackie Estacado, the leader of a mafia of sorts in a war with a supernatural cult who wants to steal the Darkness from him and use it for their own goals. The Darkness is an ancient entity of great power that doesn't always have the same goals as Jackie and so it serves as both a protagonist and an antagonist. Jackie's girlfriend since childhood Jenny was murdered by his uncle in the previous game and so in The Darkness 2 he experiences the mental aspects of losing the only person he's close to and questioning if he's going insane as he one day wakes up in a mental asylum with Jenny herself as his nurse. He fights to figure out what is real and what isn't in this action packed psychological horror shooter. I've played it more than 3 times through.

Great game, but not without bugs.

The story is pretty good and there's so much variety in what you can do.
The character customization has been improved on since DOS1 including the ability to customize your companions (Lohse, Ifan, Sebille, etc.)
Can be difficult or can be easy depending on which difficulty you play.
4 person multiplayer without having to go change some numbers in the game's files with a confusing program.

Your companions sometimes have a hard time following you. They'll just stop for a good minute then all of a sudden sprint across a mile in a second to catch up to you.
Combat will sometimes have long pauses as the system tries to figure out what your opponents should do.

All in all it's a good game and it was worth my 40 bucks so far so it gets my recommendation.

This game will set your ass on fire but you will continue to play it because of magnificent picture and soundtrack. This style reminds of Disney's «Dumbo» and «Pinokio» so bad. And it cannot be unenjoyable.
