L.A. Noire embodies the escence of classic point-and-click adventures but with all the benefits of modern day technology. The game as a whole presents a nice thought out story that gradually builds up with each promotion to a new position in the LAPD.

There has to be some downsides of course. It is a port, so it isn't the smoothest game. it is a puzzle-y game, so it's not packed with action compared to most games. But the all of this can be forgiven because of how the game presents story, atmosphere, and charecter development throughout the game.

TL;DR: The story and setting is the best part despite it being a port.

it's the most textbook definition of great game: unique idea + vibrant enviroment + thoughtful gameplay + all around awesome (no pun intended) charecters = a great game worth buying. the amount of freedom it gives for customization is the right balence of creative freedom for you and grounded parameters for other players.

it should be noted that it takes a good amount of time for anyone to get good at the game and veteran players will take advantage of bravery and obliterate you, but it doesn't take a lot to become decent.

TL;DR : good game, takes skill but not too much, overall awesome.

A beautifuly crafted game, Bastion is one of the few games that can boast a colorful post-apocalypse enviroment, a relatable silent protagonist, and a rich lore that doesn't place too much detail on the uninteresting aspects of it.

With gameplay that can be scaled up or down with an array of "idols", and enough-but-not-too-much weapon choice. The overall gameplay is solid and enjoyable with fights changing from one area to another without any clunkiness.

Story-wise: the game gives itself enough room to create a universe without said universe creating plotholes. The Whole game is told from the perspective of the game's narrator who adds context to the kid's (your) actions without taking anything away.

TL;DR: The game is all about story combined with balanced gameplay.

Ok. Let me just explain how unrealisticly awesome this game is. I own this game for my Xbox 360 and have played through the game a total of 10 times (i've beaten the complete story including some DLC). So now there's that. I've played the ever loving crap out of this game. But then, I purchased the game and all of the major DLC including both new charecters, and then i've beaten the game 4 times (at the time of me writing this). So let's count that for a second. I've played the game 14 times.
14 TIMES AND I WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY THIS GAME UNTIL IT NO LONGER AMUSES ME. So yeah, this game has the replay value of 1,000 Left 4 Dead games, and I will continue to play this game until it ceases to please me.

[FINAL SCORE: 14/10]

I used to play this game when I was younger, and i remeber this game being one of the best PC games I had played with supirior graphics, a detailed lore, and a new concept that would no doubt resurge in future games; Morality.

Also beware: May contain lethal doses of britishness and british humor
