Cockstar can ♥♥♥♥ off with GTA Trilogy - Defective Edition.

A game with so much potential, but at present executed poorly.
The game is graphically pleasing and runs well on an old laptop. The map is large enough to be exciting and there's two locations to choose from. Also quite a good game to play in multiplayer.
There are other things to watch out for, from bears/wolves to your body temperature level (these depend on the maps).
HOWEVER, I do not recommend this game at the moment because it is near impossible to complete.
Resources are extremely scarce. You'll run out of ammo for your single weapon far before getting anywhere near to killing Bigfoot/Sasquatch.
Bigfoot, on the other hand, is a lot more overpowered than you are. The ability to run faster and deal much more damage. Your game will, if not from you deciding to leave because you are bored, dying because Bigfoot has attacked and you have run out of first-aid kits.

Got this game free from Humble Bundle[www.humblebundle.com] - free until November 9, 2020 at 10 AM (PST).

This game seems like a simple kingdom building/defence game. I like the pixel graphics, but I feel that the game is too slow. So much time is spent waiting for coins so you can build things. In the meantime, you... run around the village? The tutorial also seems rather bare and I feel like I don't know much about what to do from it.

Entirely new to the LiS series (bought the first one a few years back but never got round to playing it). The story is brilliant and there's a perfect balance between gameplay and cutscenes. I haven't quite yet finished episode 1, but I'm finding Chloe quite irritating personality wise - but I guess that's so the character can be developed.

Story rich choices matter games are always a risk, as the game basically works like a combination between a film and a video game: it needs to have a proper story, character development, and still be... well... a game. Life is Strange: Before the Storm does this perfectly.

I barely went six minutes before rushing for the exit key. The tutorial is good but the game is as bland as a glass of pure water. The graphics are decent, but the game is extremely dull. Absolutely not worth NZ$8.89.

"Simple jumping platformer game" is putting it very lightly. The game is extremely simple to the point that it is purposeless. You are a white block, jumping across some other squares and trying not to fall in the gap. That is it. There is absolutely nothing else. No sort of game mode, no levels, no difficulty - nothing.

The fact that one is charged for this game is a crime. Glad I got this for free, shame about wasting the key though as it's embarrassing to have this on my profile.

I knew FunBox Media wasn't regarded for having games of the highest quality, but you've got to be taking the piss with this!
You're greeted with a game that looks like it came out for PlayStation in 1996.
A long loading screen, actually contains a helpful tutorial as to how to play the game.
HOWEVER, this tutorial is rendered useless by the fact that everything is pink!!!! You cannot see a single card because they are all pink! This problem has existed since around 2015 and this issue still hasn't been resolved.
In fact, I'm surprised that this game is still on the Steam store!

The game artwork looks nice. That's it; that's all I've got for it's pros.

You're given controls and thrown straight into the game. Zombies just run at you and you shoot them. That's it; I'm not taking a shallow viewpoint, there is literally no depth to the game. Not exciting in the slightest.

If I were to put as much effort into this review as the developer appears to have put into the game, the review would simply be "no".

The game is very poorly made and the fact that people are expected to actually pay for this is ridiculous. Regardless of the price - even if it is free - stay as far away from this game as possible.

A rather mediocre game that only just passes the line in my eyes, Redactem is a rather vanilla platformer game that feels like it would belong on a website for Flash browser games. It provides a nice challenge and requires a bit of thinking, but sometimes it makes little sense.

I also wish there was a way of finding which levels have been completed. At the moment, it's "select a level and find out if you go onto the level, or receive a refusal sound effect".
