A beautiful game with lots of stunning areas to explore and a thoroughly detailed world in general. The only problem is it is not really a game, it is more like a walking simulator. But since it is impossible to walk like this IRL, I think I’ll spend a copule more hours here. Oh, one more thing – the story is bad, so just walk
The game is great, though it had lots of issues when it first came out on consoles. Mind though, there is only a multiplayer and no story.

A classic TPS and a game that everybody played that time. Quality gameplay, interesting story, aaaaaaand probably the first great use of slo-mo in games.
Damn, this game is old. You can aim downside. You can’t zoom. Your crosshairs don't move when running. With this said, it still can be fun to play, just don’t expect much. If you want something modern, play a CoD title.
I enjoy every Shantae game and this one is probably the best. The gameplay is pure perfection – simple and effective. Overall, this is one the greatest platformers and, by and large, games for Wii U.
To me this is one of the few indies that beat any AAA-title black and blue. Vivid, colorful and bright platformer in a gorgeous world. Lots of imaginative levels and puzzles, I recommend play as a wizard since after you play him, the other two characters feel lacking due to all smart puzzles you get to solve. This really is a gem, you should definitely play it if you enjoy a good platformer.

I have played Risen several times and it will always be a game I return to. The world just draws me back in.
Combat is very challenging and the trick is to get the timing right, so this is very close to Gothic. A tough game it is, but it is also a beautiful one, exploring is very compelling, even when you revisit areas during the course of the game - or just like me if you revisit them while playing the entire game for the fourth time - they still manage to look fresh and interesting.
On the whole, this is one of the best action RPGs, I enjoyed each and every minute of it.
«Underrated»
Cons: Levels are way too small. I experienced lots of clipping issues. Enemies are hard to spot due to the overall visuals. When you are shot at, you just don't know who is doing it. No quicksaves. Pros: Multiplayer is fun. I'd say the original was better. I also miss some classic game modes that were not there when I played it. You may like it if you've played all your favorite FPSs and looking for something new and lightweight, however I wouldn't recommend it.
I bought it recently and quite like it after a few days. Lots of small easter eggs that make you smile. Interesting micromanagement of the team. The trading system works pretty well. It has some bugs but all in all it is a fun to play and well worth the price.
This is a very charming and colourful game with delightful music. It is a straightforward "metroidvania" but with lots of Mexican spicy toppings. The humor and references might seem a bit too cheesy, but it doesn't spoil the game. It took me about 16 hours to finish (no rushing) to find all secrets and reach the "good ending". So it is well worth this time and the price.
Yet another metroidvania game, but quite a good one. The satisfying gameplay with lots of exploration and character development. Cheesy jokes, somebody finds them hilarious. I didn't, but I can live with that. The game is well worth playing and you should get it any time you have a chance.
Love this game! It blends exploration, RPG, and tactical combat and adds a handful of jokes and it is a pleasure to play. Lots of old-school elements will make you drop a tear. Bosses are awesome and various - from giant meat-eating worms to dragons. I heartily recommend this one to anyone who enjoys games.
The sequel to the classic original game establishes it as one of the best RPG series out there, short though. The world is huge, tons of dungeons and caves. Everything drops loot, so it's a great game if you like constant upgrading and customizing.
However I have to mention some problems: a terrible camera, a horrible map interface, lots of boring quests (especially side ones).
Overall, it's a good game and true to its spiritual ancestor (by which I mean Diablo) in all respects, warts and all. If you don't mind looting and grinding, play this one.

This great physics based platformer deserves your attention. Solve puzzles, go though various obstacles and fight many monsters. The graphics and overall visual style look spectacular with lots of tiny details. The sound and music are outstanding. The story is simple but still works. You get to control three characters - classic set of a warrior, a mage, and a thief, each with different you have to use to get througn the level. It is very similar to The Lost Vikings in style, so if you loved that one, you'll enjoy this one.
A pure stealth experience where you can rewind and stop time. You have to escort a girl through the game and a non-lethal playthrough is really challenging. However, you can kill everybody in your path, then it will be fairly easy.
The story is mildly interesting, it has multiple endings depending on killing or sparing the king, lethal or non-lethal run.
There was a demo version on the web earlier, not sure if you can find it now to try it for free. It had some glitches that were eliminated in the game, but still it is a good way to understand the meat of Shadwen and to decide whether to play it or not.
In general, I strongly recommend this game, it is a rare and very enjoyable indie title.

A very weird game about a man with issues.
«That ending!»
The game seemed very promising at first: a space trading sim. Somehow the game doesn't deliver on any expectations.
The management system is dumb, you just have to put up a team with the same type of food they prefer and if you manage to get this food in time, you have pretty much nothing to do. There, you are a great manager!
The trading system looks interesting, economy is dynamic. It depends on ressources from different planets and the trades you have done already, but there's not enough information to use this system to its fullest. Also, it's very repetitive.
The fights are just boring.
The game is funny sometimes but it's not worth the price and all the things mentioned killed the mood for it. So skip this one, unless you are a true fan of cosmic strategy games.
You won't find a solid story or any kind of realism here. But it has a great run-n-gun gameplay that retor FPS fans might find nostalgic. The gaming experience is dark, gritty, brutal and fairly bloody. The only con is it is glitchy sometimes. However, this is not the game to look on the marvelous environment, you came here to kill.

All in all, this is a great game with many good old tricks and things. Somebody might feel that this is sometimes too much of a classic game, and it even has a classic mode that brings back the old sounds (however, modern metal remakes are great too). If you are looking for some light-minded FPS experience, check this one.
The game is good and it brought me lots of fun. It has this nostalgia feeling of old-school shooters. I was constantly thinking about Duke Nukem while playing Bombshell. To be honest, this game actually started to be developed as a Duke title but later turned into a new IP. Surely, Duke is a great main character, but Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison managed to live up to the level of Duke. It's like a female version of him, which is really great. The game had some bugs when I played it a few years ago, maybe now they fixed them (at least I can't find people complaining about them now). So, if you are a fan of old-school, give it a try and you won't regret it. Cheesy jokes, metal music, lots of explosions included.
