Great medieval warfare RPG. I really enjoy the fast-paced third person combat. The game can take a little while to get used to due to certain RPG sections being a bit unpolished, but considering the game has been around for over a decade it's to be expected. Highly recommended if you want a really good medieval combat game!

Game was looking great until the developers decided they weren't making enough money from early access sales and abandoned development. They did shady ♥♥♥♥ like changing their development roadmap to take out future features, then released the game as "1.0" even though it was incomplete.

Really fun game so far. Great visuals (similar style to Mark Of The Ninja) and sound effects. The gameplay mechanics are really interesting and unique.

Missions are randomly generated and increase in difficulty the longer you spend in the building. You can complete side objectives to earn extra money but you risk stronger enemies appearing and harder security measures being activated.

I really like the way enemies react when they spot you - you have to use your next turn move your agent behind cover to break line-of-sight or they'll fire. You can predict guards' movements and use that information to plan your attack (or evasion).

You can also upgrade your agents and anti-security methods between missions. You can change the way agents are used by upgrading particular aspects over others (Do you want them to be speedy, or strong? Do you want them to be a good hacker, or better at stealing from enemy guards?).

Definitely recommended! Very unique and fun!

Absolutely gorgeous visuals, an incredible moving soundtrack, and some of the best platformer gameplay and mechanics I've ever seen! Only played a few hours so far but I have been hooked from the very beginning.

Unlocking new abilities and exploring new areas is always a joy, and the quicksave mechanic encourages risky manoeuvres and fun. The enemies are easy to understand and the ingenious Bash move allows interaction with enemies other than attacking, which allow you to use them to reach new areas.

Never once have I felt that the game has "tricked" me or been at fault for a death - the game does an excellent job of teaching you the mechanics, then testing you and offering rewards for exceptional puzzle-solving or platforming skills.

Highly, HIGHLY recommended - especially if you're a fan of the recent Rayman reboots, or just 2D platformers in general.

Visually, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stunning - one of the best-looking games I've seen to date. I would often stop to stare at the environments and lighting.

There are no jump scares (except for one small part) - instead, this game relies on a creepy, unsettling atmosphere to keep you on the edge of your seat. The music and sound really works to accomplish this too.

The puzzles are interesting and challenging at times. My only complaint was that sometimes you are required to backtrack over a large distance which can get tiresome.

The story moves forward at a reasonable pace, aided by narration from the main character. The characters were all fairly distinct. I liked the main character especially.

All up, definitely recommended. If nothing else, check it out for the amazing visuals.

Super fun game - challenging objectives, tight controls (use an X360 pad though, apparently the controls for keyboard suck), amazing soundtrack. The randomly-generated Daily Grind mode means you have a new level to try out every day.

The gameplay is similar to the classic Thief games. It manages to recreate the classic Thief games once you turn off all the stupid hand-holding UI elements such as waypoint markers and the minimap.

The story is pretty compelling. It gets a bit weird toward the end but the first half is very cool.

The audio is really impressive, very atmospheric. The VA is really good.

The level design seems a little restrictive at times but as a general rule is very open. Sometimes you are forced into combat or the enemies are automatically alerted, which I found frustrating.

There's a Custom Difficulty setting which allows you to turn on a bunch of additional challenges such as slower movement, more expensive items, removing the crosshair, etc. which I find really fun and challenging.

This game started out as a goofy spoof trailer and ended up becoming a goofy spoof game - but an incredible spoof at that. Play as a destructive, invulnerable goat who careens around a town doing the following:

- Murdering townspeople
- Destroying houses / vehicles / any other objet in the environment
- Flying with a jetpack
- Summoning evil spirits
- Getting abducted by aliens
- Blowing up a gas station
- Becoming King of All Goats

It's incredibly fun and chock full of hilarious bugs and glitches (all purposefully left in by the devs). It also includes Steam Workshop support so users are constantly creating new levels and playable creatures.

One of my all-time favourite games - The story is compelling, the characters are varied and well-acted, the sound and music are top notch, and the painting-style graphics are unique and fitting.

The game plays very similar to the Thief series, with the exception of magic powers including teleportation, possession, or a 'force push'-style attack. The powers can be used in various ways, synergising with each other and being able to affect your enemies and the surrounding environment.

The levels all have multiple approaches and the game allows the player to choose whether they sneak through without detection or whether they launch an all-out assault (although the game does limit the non-lethal options to only a few tools and powers).

Definitely recommend this and its DLC packs, which add new gamemodes, new storylines, and even new playable characters.

The character and level design is great, and the humour is pretty spot-on, but for a game that focusses on replayability I found it incredibly boring to try and replay the game using some of the other characters. I'd wait for this to be on sale.
