This is what Lara Croft: The Quest would look like if it was ever a thing. On a serious note though. You should skip it, unless you are a hardcore quest fun. The game was beautiful when it came out, but it didn't hold up. Also, the ending is questionable.
Better stick to Monkey Island

They managed to do the impossible:

They made the majority of the game a "water level," and it doesn't suck.

And for a fame that began life as an artsy survival me-too, it sure turned out to have a pretty amazing story.

If you wanted a more complicated, more hand-holding, and worse version of The Witcher 3 that was made for children, look no further.

Otherwise....there are so many more ways to spend time that are better than this.

I really wish I could recommend this game.

I do.

I've been playing it for years....but there are two serious problems.

1) It's expensive: Either you're gunna bust out the most powerful card in the game (the credit card) and put some mileage on it, or you're going to spend endless hours grinding to be able to put together decks that will get you anywhere.
2) For all the time I've spent playing Hearthstone, I can't honestly say that "fun" is the first word that comes to mind. 

It's something to spend a lot of time doing, obsessively and competitively. 

If you're into that kind of thing, and wouldn't shudder at the thought of dropping in the neighborhood of $300 to get started, it just might be for you.

Otherwise....just watch the pros on Twitch. I have infinitely more fun watching their successes and failures than I do dealing with my own.

Without counting the bugs, the game is beyond of what i did expected. Even if its linear u can choose diferent paths of doing ur way in the game. If you like these open world RPG games, this one immerses you in a historical situation in the year 1403. im playing now more than 70 hours, and im still hooked.

ABZU is an interesting game. Not only because I havent played it myself, but also because it is.. Not as much of a game as most would like it to be.

In this game you swim around using simple WASD & mouse controls and slowly traverse the underwater world of ABZU.
Now, I gave this game to my little sister, who is not used to keyboards at all, but still, I feel like I need to note that this made the otherwise perfect game a lot harder to enjoy for her. The mouse was too fast and the turning she could not wrap her head around.

Now, this might all sound a little basic for a description. But to be honest, it isnt. There are no other things you will be doing in this game other than:
Opening doors,
Swimming with fish
Sitting
Swimming without fish.

That does not make it a bad game however!
It is quite the opposite. It tries to teach you all the different types of fish swimming around, as well as the wonder of exploration.

If anything, ABZU proves that you do not need action to make an experience, and for that I am grateful.

Alright, so this made my Zoo Tycoon experience that much better that I can no longer recommend the game without it!

Firstly; if you aim to have happy dino's, you will be in for a rough ride. The dino's can be extremely hard to satisfy, if at all.
Some even destroy the things they like the most (I'm looking at you T-Rex).

But then... There is this "Oopsy" every player does at some point, and the dino's break out. It is absolutely satisfying to watch your visitors running around in pure terror as the T-Rex comes to eat them.

Now, it should be noted, this game is old and did not age very well. However, if you liked Zoo Tycoon back in the day and miss the original look and feel, this game is for you.
It does not feature any of the "no grid" madness, and allows you to only build in squares. It does not offer huge depth and customization. It needs neither of those.

Ps; this review might be slllliiightly biased, as I played this game when I was a kid :)

Best game in the series. I've lost count of how many times I've replayed it.

Can't wait for the next one.

The last good Call of Duty game. It's truly amazing how hard the franchise tanked after this.

The only shame here is that Valve is deathly afraid of the number 3.

Never have I wished for a sequel more than after finishing this.

The "Perpetual Testing Initiative" is cool and all....but it's not enough Portal to last us the rest of our species's existence.

It's such a shame Irrational closed shop after this.

It was just one small step away from open-world, and an open-world Bioshock would have been amazing.

If any of the people leaving positive reviews on Monster Hunter World had played this, they wouldn't be leaving positive reviews on Monster Hunter World.

Combat is very complex, diverse, and difficult, it puts Divinity in line with the likes of Dark Souls. I can see the developers putting their hearts into this work and the game clearly outshines lots of peers in the genre. I am very satisfied with it.
This fantastically unique run and gun platformer is truly rewarding in every aspect – phenomenal art, jazzy soundtrack, challenging levels and unique bosses that make each victory a very satisfying experience. My heartily recommendation to everyone who likes a good game.
The story is extremely captivating, the graphics are well done and look decent even today (facial animations are mediocre though). It has customizable weapons, great variety of difficulty settings.I enjoyed every minute of the whole playthrough.
The multiplayer works well and I see some great potential there. The story is heavy. The world is much darker than in Original Sin. Hard moral choices – all sahdes of grey with no blacks and whites. Combat is very challenging. In general, it's a great game so far and highly recommended for all.
I bought both Merto 2033 and Last Light a while ago on Steam as a special double offer. Both are amazing. However Last Light is slightly better than its predecessor for all the improvements it got with the time. Playing 2033 first is not essential, however it adds to the story and helps you understand things about the world, mechanics, etc.
This is a definition of an positively addictive game. Every time you die, you feel like you learned something that will help you to beat this level next time. Cuphead will help you develop determination in yourself like no other game.
The world in the game is great, it sucks you in in half an hour. The overall game quality is pretty high and everything feels polished - from performance to the story to the graphics. The atmosphere is spectacular. On the whole, it is a real gem, get it without thinking.
Hellblade has one of the best voice acting, motion capture and writing I've seen in games. You are highly advise to use headphones, you'll feel yourself really in the head of Senua. The gameplay is solid, fighting is good, puzzles are fun. In conclusion, Ninja Theory made an epic game, too bad it's not that long.
