How have I not reviewed this game yet?! I basically grew up playing this.

Well, anyway, I love everything. You can play the amazing singleplayer campaign, or play through sets of co-op puzzles with a friend. You can also create your own test chambers!

The singleplayer campaign isn't particularly long, but it's still incredibly enjoyable and a worthy continuation of the original Portal's story. I personally say its story is even better than the original game's (but I might also be biased since, as I said earlier, I grew up with this one). It has fantastic writing, and very good visual storytelling. I won't say anything about the plot here because I think it's best experienced blind.

The puzzles are challenging and definitely require thought, but they're not so challenging that it will take you hours to figure it out or anything like that. The game slowly gives you knowledge of the game's mechanics very early on, so you won't be completely lost.

The workshop has a ton of test chambers created by other people on the platform, so you can download those and play through more. If you want to, you can even create your own as I mentioned earlier. It's a very nice addition to the game.

I recommend this game wholeheartedly. The game's unique gameplay and style make it hard to get tired of, and with the workshop, you might never run out of puzzles to do. This is one of my personal favorites. I love it!

I've had an absolute blast with this game! I've played with friends and family and we sailed all around completing tall tales and quests! And you won't find yourself feeling bored very often. You'll always find something to do, whether that be getting in a fight with another ship or finding loot floating in the ocean. There is also no way to make your character more powerful. The only progression you'll really be getting is unlocking cosmetics and getting gold and ancient coins. There is nothing that makes you more strong or agile, it's all based on your skill! There are bugs and stuff sometimes, but I haven't really encountered many. I don't think the game goes on sale much, but that's okay because there's a lot in this game and I think it's pretty worth the price. If you're not sure, you can find some more reviews or watch gameplay and see if it's something you'd be interested in. With that said, I definitely recommend this game! It's kind of boring playing alone, so get some friends or family members who are interested to play with you! It's much more fun together!

A long time ago, I used to play Halo 2 on my Xbox all the time, and it's so awesome to revisit the franchise, and not only that, but play the ones I never got to play. Halo: Reach and Halo 2 are my absolute favorites. I recommend this game to any long-time Halo fans, and newcomers who are ready to fight for the UNSC for the very first time. I love Halo, and I'm glad that I and other people can play this on their PC. Finish the fight!

I have not played a whole bunch of Stardew Valley. In fact, I'm pretty early into my first winter. I got it as a gift because I had found it pretty interesting. My Dad had a copy of it on a game store, and shared it with me. So I got to play it. I loved it, but a downside was that because the game was shared from that website, I couldn't do multiplayer because there were no invite codes, and since said game store wasn't Steam, and I couldn't join my friend, I had to improvise. But then I didn't have to, because my Dad bought me and my brother copies on Steam. That made me seriously happy, and what made me even happier was that my save files were transferred to the new version of the game. So then I was able to play multiplayer.
Now, I suppose I should get to the review. I'll list good things and bad things, and then at the end give my thoughts on the game overall.

[The Good Stuff]

One-Man Band - Everything in this game, the music, the graphics, everything, is created by a single guy. He made a peaceful world where you were not only able to farm, but interact with the villagers, who feel like living people. People you could get close to, and learn to love, and eventually marry. You'd try to gather the things you need so you could restore something that was once beautiful: a place where the community could come together. It's really cool to see that this valley was hand-crafted by a single person.

Love - Certain people in the town are available to marry, each with their own struggles and hardships. As you start to develop a bond with them, you learn more about them and their story. Eventually, if you decide that this character is one you want to get close to romantically, you can buy a bouquet from Pierre's General Store once you've reached 8 hearts with the person you want to marry. This will tell them you're interested, and then you'll start dating. Once you've reached ten hearts, gone through the ten heart event, upgraded your house at least once, and have 5000g, go across the bridge at the beach on a rainy night, and you'll encounter the ghost of an Old Mariner. He'll sell you the Mermaid's Pendant, basically an engagement ring, and then eventually, your character will have someone they love. Eventually, if you upgrade your house with the Nursery, you'll be able to have kids and start a family. The characters in this game are all different and unique, allowing quite a bit of replayability. You don't have to marry in this game, but it certainly is a milestone.

Time Passage - In this game, there's days, seasons, years, and time. Every several seconds, 10 in-game minutes will pass. This will keep going until it reaches 2 am or until you go to sleep. If you don't fall asleep before 2 am, then you'll pass out and be recovered by either a Joja employee or Harvey. However, the downside to this is that you'll be billed a certain amount of G. You will wake up the next day. There are 28 days in a month/season, with 2 of those being festivals. Instead of there being 12 months in a year, there's 4 seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. There are certain crops that only grow in certain seasons, excluding Winter, since you can't grow crops in Winter. When you go to sleep on the final day of Winter, it'll be a new year and you can grow crops in Spring again.

Exterminated - There are not many bugs in this game, and the bugs that are in the game are very minor and not even close to game breaking. So you don't really have to worry about it being super buggy.

Still Being Updated! - This game is still being worked on actively by ConcernedApe, with new content being added to increase replayability and provide more customization to the player. He seems pretty passionate about the project, and probably interacts with players so that he can figure out what to add to the updates that won't anger the players. He knows what he's doing, and for that, I salute him.

Massive Replayability - I've mentioned replayability a few times in this review, and that's probably because there's a lot of it. Like, seriously, there's so much to do in this game. There are different types of farms, each with their own pros and cons. You can upgrade your tools to be able to do more things. You can choose what you want to do that day. And, you don't even have to restore the community center. You can either leave it the way it is, or buy a Joja Corp membership and tear it down to replace it with a Joja warehouse. But, the community center does provide other uses for the items you get, other than selling them. Everything's a choice, and you can do the things you want to do.

Great Soundtrack - Practically every song in this game is great. They all have different sounds, and provide a great atmosphere. My favorite is The Wind Can Be Still, which plays during Winter. It reminds me of synthwave, which is one of my favorite music genres.

Honestly, there is so much great stuff I can list here, but this review's getting pretty long already. Let's move on to the bad stuff.

[The Bad Stuff]

Minor Bugs - Like I said earlier, there are almost no bugs in the game, but the bugs that ARE in the game are pretty minor, so you don't have to worry about that.

Major Bugs - I'm not talking about the glitches and stuff, I'm talking about those stupid bugs that stupidly appear from the stupid green vapor in the stupid mines and stupidly fly towards you to stupidly kill you. Stupidly.

There's not much else I can think of, but I might add on to this review later on.

[The Overall Review]
This game's amazing. There's so much to do, and every experience is different. The characters feel alive, and all have their own interests and personalities. The Overwhelmingly Positive rating it has doesn't lie. So, if you're looking to buy it, it depends on how you want to spend your money. If you think this game will be a great purchase for just 15 dollars, go ahead and buy it offsale. However, if you want to wait a little bit so you can save money on other things, go ahead and buy it on sale. It really depends on how you want to spend your money.

So there you have it. My review of Stardew Valley. I hope this helps, and that if you decided to buy the game, you enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks for reading!

Be a goat. Be another goat. Be both. Overwhelming manipulation of the laws of physics is now yours. Surprise your friends with the fact that you have this game and show them the ropes. Run around and cause chaos in Goatville. Run around again and cause more chaos in Goat City Bay. Go on an epic quest to run around and cause chaos in Goat Simulator: MMO Simulator. Run around and cause chaos as a zombie goat in Goat Simulator: GoatZ. Run around and cause chaos in space in Waste of Space. Run around and cause chaos as something that's not a goat even though not being a goat is a crime but it doesn't matter because you're a criminal in this one anyway in Goat Simulator: PAYDAY. And just listen to the music that defines running around and causing chaos in Goat Simulator: Original Soundtrack. All available as separate downloadable content! It's worth the 21 dollars to buy all of those!

Right, so this game can be very fun. If you get bored, you can look at the mods in the workshop to make the experience more fun! This game requires a floppy disc because the physics are very floppy. (Ha! See what I did there? No? Oh, okay.) Your computer won't run without it. And don't worry, I'm not being serious. You just need to look at the requirements. Now, this is what y'all have been waiting for. Drum roll please.

7/10. Thank you, thank you! It's been a wonderful night. Now if you think this game sounds fun, this game is for you. If you think this game doesn't sound fun, then avoid communicating with me and other Goat Simulator fans as you will be known as a misfit for the rest of your life until you enjoy Goat Simulator. Thanks for reading!
-Sincerely, BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Spore is a sci-fi survival game about creating an alien and evolving it as time goes on. It came out on September 4th, 2008, and was created by a company called Maxis, owned by Will Wright. Will Wright is known for creating games like SimCity and The Sims franchise. His first creation was Raid on Bungeling Bay. EA was Spore’s publisher.

The game starts out with you being a Cell. Your first goal is to eat the food that applies to your diet types. Before your new game, you can name the planet, choose your character’s diet type, and then begin eating. If you’re a Carnivore, you eat other creatures and meat pieces. If you’re a Herbivore, then you eat plants. You can turn into an Omnivore if you combine the Carnivore mouth and the Herbivore mouth together. Earn DNA Points and pieces to evolve your creature. Once you’re done, you will move to the next stage, Creature, where you grow legs and work on evolving your creature once more. After the Creature stage is the Tribal Stage, the Civilization Stage, and the Space Stage. There is a little tutorial at the beginning of each stage, and stuff that you learn about through the stages.

I love that you can customize your alien whenever you want at any time. My favorite part is the Creature Stage. I haven’t gotten too far into the game to see some of the other stages though, so my opinions on that might change. There are some creatures that have “Epic” before their name. Basically, these are gigantic creatures that attack you and other races in the Creature Stage. Usually, I don’t expect their appearances.

I think the ending for Spore (which I saw on YouTube) is kinda disappointing. I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s just that it could’ve been better.

Overall Ratings:
Graphics: 6/10. The graphics are good, but pretty dated. However, that’s what you get from a 10-year-old game.

Sound and Music: 9/10. There’s a unique sound to each mouth and the music’s great!

Gameplay: 8/10. You have multiple worlds to create an alien in, and you aren’t forced to advance to the next stage. You can also choose what stage you want to be from the beginning once you’ve unlocked those stages.

Replayability: 9/10. The worlds are limited, but you can just delete a game if all of the worlds are taken. You may want to complete a game before doing that though.

If you’re into games like what I described, then you should definitely buy it full price, which is 20 dollars. However, if you aren’t sure, it might still be worthwhile to get it when it’s on sale. Overall, this is one of my favorite games of all time and I definitely recommend it.

How can I describe this amazing game? Okay, let's start it out like this... This game is perfect for Half-Life fans, or VALVe fans, or just First-Person Shooter fans themselves! You're able to create awesome makeshift contraptions to mess around with and you're able to get awesome add-ons to enhance the experience. Me and my brother like to play it with our Dad a lot (Even though he always has to download add-ons before we can start) and we have lots of fun. You can roleplay, use explosives, fight your allies and everything, but most importantly... You can have fun. I definitely recommend this game for people who like the stuff I listed. So if you decided to buy the game and really liked it, I think it's a good idea to spread the word.
