All things considered, at fourteen or so hours to complete the campaign, I quite enjoyed my time with Halfway. It's not a ground-breaking title, and those last few levels almost had me rage-quitting, but the traits allow for some fun strategies and if you're wanting an enjoyable sci-fi story with your TBS/RPG elements, then Halfway is more than worth the miniscule price being asked for it. I look forward to the sequel (please).
If you're willing to give decent motion controls a shot, and like the idea of a bizarre private eye anime, I would say that D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die - Season One is well worth the investment.
I'm not a fan of the lack of a tutorial, and I certainly dislike that there is little-to-no campaign story to speak of, but if you can get over the lack of instructions and make some mistakes while finding your feet, or you're after a challenging RTS with reasonable A.I. and an enjoyable online multiplayer and spectator system, then Planetary Annihilation is a more than worth the fee.
Sunset Overdrive is a must for fans of fun, witty 4th-wall breaking, fast-paced, open world, third person, action genres. I couldn't recommend it more.
With the groundwork for such an interesting world, it's a real shame that so many pieces fell short of expectations.
I can't wait to see what lies in-store for House Forrester in the future episodes.
Never Alone is a mediocre first entry in what I hope will branch into a kind of informative gaming genre. I certainly see a promising future if they can improve on what they have. For this game though, if you want to know more about the Iñupiat people and don't have anything else to play, the story of Nuna and her arctic fox isn't bad - just don't expect it to light your world on fire.
This title was a much needed breath of fresh air for the music rhythm genre, and a perfect example of how you can use the kinect in a game - and have it be fun. I can honestly say, even with it's faults, and the short playlist, this game is worth the price of entry - provided you still have Kinect.
[A]s good a follow-up as it has the potential to be, I'd hold off [on purchasing] until the bugs are fixed - it's not like the story is wrapping up anytime soon.
For fans of the genre, the highs of Attila will more than outweigh any lows.
To tell the truth, I really enjoy playing Helldivers. It's not the best game in the world, but when you have a team of friends, or friendly people with mics, it can be so much fun.
At this point, the only reason I can see for people who enjoy Telltale Games' titles, and the Game of Thrones franchise to not pick this game up is because they're waiting for all six episodes to be available.
Seriously, if you love your role playing games lore heavy, challenging, and fun, you literally can't go wrong with PIllars of Eternity. With the amount of pleasure I've had playing this game, it can easily stand tall and proud as one of the most tactical, thought provoking, and enjoyable RPGs I've ever played.
Titan Souls can be fun to begin with, and although there aren't any noticeable bugs, because there are so many things I found annoying, I can't say it's worth it if you're just wanting a good time.
I suggest waiting until more of these Chronicles titles have been released to see how well they end up fairing as a whole. They might be worth it in the end, but for right now? Only if you're wanting a few hours of meaningless stealth action in your life.
Why must you make us wait, Telltale? Why?!
Invisible, Inc. is short, replayable, fun, and a very good experience that is completely worth it's miniscule price point. Time to start it up again and try my luck on expert with no rewinds… I'm so going to die.
Episode 5 has it's flaws, and as I've said, there is a quite a bit of what felt like filler content, but as a lead-in to the finale, it left us with numerous cliffhangers, and a gloriously tough decision that is sure to make what's up next a ton of fun.
Despite having a few gripes with this Chapter, I most certainly feel it's worth the price of admission.
Truth be told, I enjoyed my time with The White March - Part One. It was a great reason to jump back in, and while it's not as grand as some of the RPG expansions we've had for other games in this genre (see Baldur's Gate: Throne of Bhaal), it was still a good experience, and one that works almost seamlessly into a new player's playthrough of the main game.
