I love every Witcher game - that’s why it’s so sad to claim the balance in this particular title is broken. If you play it on easy, it’s TOO easy - you just hit your enemies and don’t even need to dodge much. But the normal difficulty makes you suffer. The combat system, while being repetitive, isn’t explained well and you need time to figure out how to defeat enemies. That is so annoying! As a result, a great game isn’t just enjoyable for me, as I want a normal intuitive combat system, not this mess.

The game itself is cool to play with friends, if you like board games. While AI could be better, this title can be quite enjoyable when you find someone to share the game. I remember that in the beginning it had huge problems with online sessions and connection, however, these issues were fixed, so now Adventure Game is quite playable.

This has an outstanding story and characters, and I think that their interaction is great. If you want a really deep game with a cool plot, try this one. But be ready that it's hard as hell.
It’s very difficult to build some kind of a strategy here, as the game doesn’t help you. Every special enemy is so hard to beat that it slows you down - instead you’ll be killed by dozens of enemies. In the end, the process become quite frustrating, and though I see the potential of this game, I can’t recommend it.
Defiance has too many annoying moments for me to name it a good game in the series. Poor level design with invisible walls and enemies spawning from nowhere, surprisingly lost abilities from the previous parts, unresponsive controls and the camera that always shows you everything except what you need. So if we compare this one to Soul Reaver, we’ll be disappointed. So, well, play it if you want to finish the story, but I guess, it won’t be enjoyable at all.

The Witcher 2 is much better than the first game in may aspects. They added a more complicated combat system, you now need to use potions, oils and bombs, and carefully choose what abilities to upgrade. The variety of choices also makes you complete only one half of the game at once, as in the second chapter the game splits in two. That’s why you really need to complete the game twice at least to try the choices you’ve missed. I think, it’s a great decision to build the story like this. And, of course, can’t say nothing bad about the visuals, characters and side quests. Everything is perfect here. BTW, what campaign did you choose for the first playthrough? I’m team Roche!
I don’t like that you don’t understand what other players do in this game. So matches consist of endless pauses, when you just wait till your opponents do something. You don’t see their cards, or monsters they meet, or at least something happening to them. It’s really boring.

This game is not better than the Little Alchemy. Same level of stupidness.

I first played and completed this in 2017, almost 20 years after it had been released, when I was looking through well rated games on GOG, immediately falling in love with the story of this exceptional, maybe one-of-a-kind adventure.
It is a first person adventure playing on a train on the historic Orient Express route from Paris to Constantinople. You are traveling on the train where a murder takes place to start the story. While the game runs, real time is running also and events take place at different places on the train at any given time. You have to solve the nature of the murder.
My time nowadays for games being very limited, I wasn't able to explore this game fully as you cannot possibly see what takes place on the train in one playthrough since you can only be in one place at a time. I saw a new Gold Edition was released which might be incentive enough to play it once again.
Engaging story. Recommend it to anyone who likes the charm of these long gone times.

«That ending!»
Exceptional (my 1-word review) maybe only for people who are interested in history such as me, as this is really an educational puzzle game in which you follow the interesting storyline depicting the events that the protagonists suffered in the first world war.
There are a few tough puzzles but once you know the game mechanics (e.g. you can break things, throw things, use your dog etc.) most are not hard to solve. The graphics are beautiful in their own way.
This game made me spend half an hour getting the last achievement which I wanted absolutely although usually I don't care much for achievements.
Very enjoyable gaming experience. Very nice OST also. If you like being completely immersed in the game surroundings, you will like this one.

I had a few problems with the game. I’d prefer they added more instructions how to unblock content and fixed the interaction with objects - these things are not always obvious as they should be. And I’m very disappointed that I can’t use a controller here.
Puzzle Puppers is a nice little timekiller - not frustrating, not too hard to master, enjoyable to spend some time. Never frustrates you, as you can skip every level and return to it later. And it looks so cute that I just can’t criticize it.
Alexis Kennedy, as always, is great at designing unique games. Cultist Simulator is a very immersive and unique game with unusual gameplay and a huge replayability. The game is fast and you often lead your character to horrible consequences but there are so many possible ways that you’ll definitely return to try them all. Guess, I’ll spend in Cultist Simulator many many hours…
Can’t find enough words to describe this game. It’s a very atmospheric and deeply psychological experience with a survival horror mechanics in its core. But it affects you more than an ordinary monster shooter. It feels like a real nightmare you can’t forget for several days. If you want to try this game, be sure it’ll impress you.

The atmosphere of the game and its scary moments are great. However, the core gameplay seems boring to me. The game is split in days, and every round consists of the same actions again and again: you go through locations, search for items and talk to the characters. Sad that it’s meant to be so - there’s nothing else to do here actually. The survival aspect - the necessity to control your stats - is also quite frustrating. Even the combat is not fun. But the worst thing is that with all the amount of time you waste on walking and talking, you progress SO SLOW that you’ll likely abandon this game rather than finish it.

At first it’s hard to understand what’s going on here and what I need to do but later everything becomes OK. The content, as I can see, it quite good, but technical issues ruin this game for me. There are a lot of bugs here, and once the game even locked up my computer, so I needed to reboot it. It also sometimes freezes. So right now you should better wait for some patches and only buy this thing when you’re sure the problems are fixed.
My biggest complaint about this game is its awful menu. Every time the game throws you back to the level selection screen, and you are to switch pages to find the level you need. I don’t say that ruins everything but, you see, it’s quite annoying. Plus, they should add a menu item for quitting - I don’t like to press Escape every time. Additionally, the music is the same on every level - not a big problem also, but I’m here to complain.
This is an adventure for hours - you have dozens of awesome activities within the game, and they are so addictive! Bet you’ll complete this game more than two times just to finish all tasks and try every challenge. I like stealth and hacking moments so much, along with the story itself. And here are the best boss battles ever!
