One of my favorites. Highly recommended.

Graphics:

8/10 You'll never see this game on the "Top 5 most graphically intensive games of all time lists", but it's still very visually impressive. At least several dozen times throughout the game, I had to pause and set my controller down just to marvel at the scenery. Lots of beautiful backdrops.

Story:

10/10 Incredible story in many different ways. The backstory was very interesting and original. I won't spoil it for you, but it was very thought provoking as it was slowly revealed throughout the various texts and audio logs how you end up in this world. The main plot had very heavy religious overtones. You wake up in a garden, and a voice from the skies tells you that he placed you there to serve him well and he will grant you eternal life. As long as you don't eat of the forbidden fruit in the middle of the garden. Then the deceiver comes and challenges all of your preconceptions about the world and dares you to disobey your God. Even if you have no religious background, this is very clearly an allegory of Genesis. One other thing about the plot that I thought was interesting was the countless easter eggs in the game that all made sense in universe.

Sound:

9/10 Great sound track. The pacing of the music was nicely timed so that the emotion would build as you progress through the puzzles, and it nicely mirrored how involved I was in solving the puzzles.

Technical:

10/10 Linux support. Mac support. Full controller support. TONS of graphical options. Absolutely no bugs. Some people complained about motion sickness, so if your sensitive to that be careful, but they also have plenty of options for motion sickness, such as player speed, camera bob amount and optional 3rd person camera. Runs nicely on my beastly gaming rig, runs nicely on a potato. I actually first played it on my friends 09 crapbook, so I'm speaking from experience on that one. (Not hating on Mac, just hating on THIS mac in particular)

Gameplay:

7/10 I liked the puzzles a lot. None of the mechanics are grounbreaking or original. In fact, most of the mechanics are over used and cliched in puzzle games. E.g. lasers, boxes and interacting with your past self. What made the gameplay really amazing was the fantastic level design and pacing. The puzzles started out fairly easy, but quickly got incredibly hard. Yet even with the really hard puzzles, I solved every one without and guide. Also, plenty here for completionists, with the 4 endings, the extra and hidden puzzles, and more easter eggs than I can count.

I tried hunting somebody down so that I could bash their face in with a cricket bat, but I kept needing to go to the bathroom. So I got a catheter, and now I can effectively use all of my time for murder. But then the other passenger starting avoiding me, and flies started buzzing around me. So I went home and played this game.

5/7 Best serial killer simulator out there.

"In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, Yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die. Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing bout, come to America. No English, no food, no money. Darryl give me job. Now I have house, American car and new woman. Darryl save life. My big secret: I kill Yakuza boss on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!"

I highly recommend this game if you have very little free time and lots of responsibilities.

10:00 PM: I'm just gonna do a couple quests for the angler real quick before I go to bed.

4:00 AM: You know, sleep really is overrated.

Do you like games about

- Ridiculous amounts of guns?

- Excessively gruesome gore?

- Fantasticly good update new graphics?

- Character customization, classes and perks?

- Getting your @$$ whooped by DR Han's Volter, the pyschopathic doctor?

- Getting yelled at by teammates?

Yes? Good, because this game is mostly about throwing dosh all over the place.

Okay, now for a more serious review. It's killing floor. Seriously. Imagine they took the first game and gave it WAY better graphics, and more character customization. Also, it is very well optimized. I could max out all of the settings, and still get 60+ frames on my r9 290.

The biggest difference I have noticed so far is that it is a lot harder than the first game. I have not yet beaten one round on the lowest setting (normal). The game feels very responsive on my computer, but I think you have a lower run speed.

On the techincal side, I have not noticed any major bugs so far. The one thing I have noticed is that occasionally you will be unable to start a solo offline game, but this is definitely not a game-breaker, more of just a minor annoyance. Servers were fine, no lag or rubberbanding that I have noticed. I'm not sure about the state of mods in the games current state, but if this game is anything like the first one, there will be plenty of mods and workshop tools.

The only reason I have not bought this game is because I'm a cheapo. I recommend it. Overall, really fun game. Graphics, 10/10. Sound 9/10. Gameplay 7/10. Overall, 9/10.

>Name of game is DON'T starve.
>Starved

I'm so sorry, Lord Gaben please forgive me.

A 13-year-old-girl with ADHD and a tendency to blow **** up hires me to kidnap her mentally unstable crush, "Flesh-stick" so that she can torture him at a tea party with her friends, "Sir Reginald" and "Princess Fluffybutt" (A jar with a face painted on, and a grenade dressed in dolls clothing). That pretty much sums the game up.

Butt Stallion/10, best depressed robot simulator out there.

This is literally the only video game that I have cried at. I couldn't possibly reccomend it more.

Recipe for Dino D-Day (serves 24):

2 Cups of naziis.
A pound of ground dino meat.
3 Tbsp of allies.
2 teaspoons of TF2.
Add a dash of goat simulator

And you're good to go!

No but seriously, any game that even mentions the phrase, "Nazii Dinosaurs" is totally worth playing.

I rate it Defenseless goat/10.

Ehhh. It's ok. Not terrible, but ok. If it wasn't filled with freemium **** I would have given it another try.
