RPG Fan's Reviews
If you liked Season 1, give Telltale more of your money.
This isn't the next big JRPG, but it'll certainly take you a long time to complete.
The content is fantastic, though the timing between episodes holds the game back.
A messy, bland RPG that might attract some for its nostalgic powers.
An experience I advise no one to miss.
Probably good for your kids.
George Stobbart and Nico Collard are sleuthing again, and it feels pretty good.
If you liked Season 1, give Telltale more of your money.
A disappointing experiment in disappointment.
Amazing old-school mechanics meet modern conventions.
I’d argue, though, that we need more games like this. I don’t think Lone Survivor can possibly be taken seriously on the levels of the works I’ve mentioned in this review. However, the fact that every design choice in the game aims at putting the player in the head of the protagonist as much as a side scrolling horror game can, sometimes at the expense of something that might have made the game more “fun,” is deserving of praise. At the very least, it is deserving of examination. And I absolutely think it is deserving of at least an evening or two of your time.
A new Zelda that will set the standard for years to come.
An excellent opportunity for those who loved the original to play it again, but newbies will need the patience of a saint to survive the complexity of its gameplay.
Revitalizes the aging franchise and breathes new life into old mechanics.
A beautiful point and click adventure that offers more to children than adults.
Worth trying, especially for gamers who value story over everything else.
Lucius is an awful game and one that should be avoided like the number 666.
A striking and unique adventure with an annoying sidekick.
Lone Survivor bears doubtless resemblance to that classic survivor horror franchise, Silent Hill. After all, Lone Survivor has creepy monsters, a mostly-empty city, a basement you don’t want to be in but must be, fleshy red membranes, and a psychological bent. I like to think of Lone Survivor not as a tawdry imitator, but as an intelligent and surreal homage to a once-powerful series, and even perhaps a comment on the genre itself. This isn’t just about surviving and getting to the end alive, it’s about how you choose to get there. Lone Survivor asks you to think in the midst of madness and horror. And if you don’t, who knows where you might end up?
If repetitive gameplay and generic humor don't bother you, Costume Quest might bring back some good childhood memories.
