It's like Zoo Tycoon with more micro management. Funny thing is that there is a Zoo Tycoon with dinosaurs, but I found myself having more fun with this title. It does tend to get a bit repetative, and boring aft3er long stretches of playing, but overall I'd say the base game is worth its sale price.

TL;DR at the bottom.
Usually I don't much care for Sega's 4X games, but Endless Space, and the Endless series in general, are very well done. Endless Space 2 is a very unique take on the 4X genre. Most of the 4X games that are out there are usually based on some sort of historical context, like Civilization, and Total War. This is what helps Endles Space, and the endless series, stand out among the others as it is based on its own lore. Every factrion in it has its own series of quest to complete that help give this game a rich, vibrant, and fun experience that you can finish in many different ways.

As for the more technical aspects of the game, it still shines, but is unfortunaltly outshined by games that are even made by the same publisher, Sega. While it does have high replay value, it does get somewhat repetative after awhile and does somewhat fell like Sega is forcing you to buy DLC to continue the adventure. Ther learning curve of the game is not very steep, and is not only easy for new players to the 4X genre pick up, but it is also challengeing enough to keep veteren 4X players interested. Each faction has its own playstyle that vary dramatically from one another, which helps keep the game fresh, as it encurages you to try playing the game a different way each time you start a new game. However there are only6 factions (5 without DLC) to chose from, which is a shame because this series is known for haveing many faction all with different quests, lore, and gamplay styles. Sega may however add more to the game as DLC, as the game is pretty consitantly pathced.

Graphically speaking the game is so-so. The artwork that appears in the game is very pleasing to the eye, and the aestetic of the game is very pleaseing to just about any si-fi fan. However the ground battle sequences are nothing more than a fake looking hologram, and anything that is not zoomed in looks a little too simplistic. This is campared to its sister series Endless Legend, which has vibrant colors, and complex textures and animations. Overall the game gets the job done with the graphics, but don't expect too much more.

Positives
+High replay value
+Fair learning curve
+Unique lore
+just one more turn-able

Negative[/b]
-Not very impressive graphically
-Could use a bit more content
-can get somewhat repetative

Overall, Endless Space is a very fun take on the 4X genre and even though its not the best looking one around, its still wort a play through, or two.

TL;DR at the bottom.

I'm going to not even mention the blatant SJW pandering in the game because you probably already know about it, considering Bethesda and Machine Games used the "Nazi" hystaria to market this game.

The biggest problem I have with Wolfenstien II is that it is nothing new from the previous title. The gameplay is the same, the enemies are the same, and more that half of the games 6 hours worth of gameplay is cutscenes, and scripted events. I found myself waiting, and waiting, and waiting for gameplay to happen. The other problem with this is that it felt like I wasn't fighting nazis to get the next level, it felt like I was fighting to get to the next cutscene on a very linear path. It feels more like Call of Duty, than Wolfenstein. This is coming off the heels of DOOM which was an amazing return to form for it's series, which Wolfenstein is not taking any ques from even though they are published by the same company.

Worse yet is the previously mentioned scripeted events. Nothing feels intense because as soon as a surprising event happens, it ends quickly via QTE or a cutscene happening. Once again making it more like Call of Duty, and less like Wolfenstein. This leads to the worst part of the game, there are NO boss fights. I pose this question to you, when have you EVER seen a Wolfenstein game that DIDN'T have a boss fight in it? All the "boss fights" in this game, are scripeted events that you complete by doing a singe action, a single press of a button. The only real pluses I can give this game, is that it looks nice, and the charcters in the story are at least likable.

I wont dwell too much on the story, as to avoid spoilers. I will say that most of the games story feels like they just ripped an antifa fan fic off of tumblr. They dwell on shots of the bad guys, contantly spoon feeding you "remeber guys, Nazis are bad in case you forgot." A few examples of this are, a long drawn out shot about fat shamming, many long drawn out shots of wife beating, animal abuse, and child abuse, and lots of long drawn out dialouge about rascism in America. All of these things feel very shoe horned in, and when ever they happened I could not help but roll my eyes as to how obvious the pandering was. In short it is not Wolfenstein, it is Call of Wolfenstein: Tumblr Warfare.

TL;DR scores:

Positives:

+Great graphics
+Most of the caracters are decent
+Lots of gore, and big guns.

Negatives:

-Horrible writting
-3 hours of gameplay, 3.5 hours of cutscenes
-No boss fights
-Nothing new from the previous game
-Too many scripted events
-Too linear for a Wolfenstein game
-It is no longer Wolfenstein, it is Call of Duty

Short review:
If you want a game where you kill Nazis, and has a story that isn't someones tumblr fan fic, go buy Call of Duty: WWII. It's basically the same game anyways.

It's a fun little indie game for not a lot of money. If you are a fan of mass scale RTS games than this is for you. The only bad things I can say about it are that while it has 4 different factions, there is absolutly no varity between any of them at all. In fact they are the same faction essencialy they just are a different coat of paint. This leads to the other thing that I give it a minus for, it gets real monotonous after a few hours of playing. But hell if you like to blow up entire planets extra violently go for it my dude! Other than that the soundtrack is awesome, and the gamplay is super fast paced, which I love as an old style C&C player. Overall I give it a 8/10 if you got some extra pocket cash on hand go for it.

This is what a DOOM remake should be. It absolutly blows DOOM 3 out of the water as a remake. The gameplay is fast, the guns are huge, the music is metal, and Doom Guy is still a bad-ass!

Pros:

+Looks awesome and is well optimized.
+Controls fast and slick like old doom.
+Awsome story for a series that prides itself on minimal story.
+GLORY KILLS!
+Brings back what the old doom was ment to be.

Cons:

-The multiplayer is not nearly as good as we were led to believe
-Is prone to some glitches (like all bethesda games).



Just buy it! It is so worth the money, and is truly the DOOM experiance!

Rip and tear, until it is done!

Don't be fooled by my lack of hours (I played the game offline mostly) I love this game.Life is Starange is truly a spiritual adventure. I loved this game so much, I would highly recamend it to those who love point and clicks, stroy based adventures, and generaly love a story that makes you feel raw emotion.

Pros:
+Amazing AAA story
+Beautiful artistic values
+Awesome characters
+Works great with a controler and with mouse and keyboard
+Very well optimized
+Taught me the true meaning of friendship
+made me cry

Cons:
-Some strong liberal political themes that break immersion at times, but overall it fits the story most of the time


Overall I give this game a 10/10 It was truly the sleeper hit of 2015 and not only needs to be played by all, but is a work of art, and makes my top ten favorite games.


Chloe is the real hero of the game rest in peace best friend I ever had in a video game.

10/10 Made me accept satan

I am a long time fan of the Counter Strike series, and this one is honestly my favorite. Competetive mode is fun, and casual mode is great practice multiplayer for the Competetive games. Also the classic Valve loot drops. 10/10

Quite possibly one of the best games I have ever played. It may seem repetative, but even then you find something you didn't see before.
