Fantastic lineup and gameplay, but lacks in modes, party options, and a context-providing campaign.
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.
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).
A fun reason to jump back into Deus Ex, but not necessarily worth dropping coin for the Season Pass.
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.
Stunning art and music design, but shallow when it comes to depth of meaning and gameplay.
A charming, fun old-school-style action-platformer that's about twice as long as it should have been.
[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.
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.
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.
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.
There is fun to be had if you're after a tiny challenge during a coffee break, or you're playing on your Playstation Vita in short bursts, but otherwise Nova-111 is a fairly forgettable title - and that's a real shame.
Heavy decisions and fun action, but a poor end to an overall enjoyable season
A very atmospheric, but unfortunately mediocre rinse-repeat horror title.
Interesting concept, and fun with friends, but a lack of online competition makes it rather dull.
With the groundwork for such an interesting world, it's a real shame that so many pieces fell short of expectations.
Puzzle design, backgrounds, and atmosphere hold up, but not much else.
