🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 FISHING HELL YEAH 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

This is one of the best pieces of media of any form I've ever experienced in my life, and also one of the most affirming. I've played games that e.g. let you pick pronouns before, but to see every aspect of my identity (and behavior and sense of humor for that matter - heck, even social anxiety) represented as selectable options like it's the most common thing in the world is just... extraordinary. Many other reviews talk about the romance Our Life offers, but that romance is entirely optional; in my opinion this game is the single best fictional example of aromanticism out there, and I've been through all the popular aro/ace fiction.

Our Life: Beginnings & Always offers an intensely captivating narrative that draws you in instantly and completely. The nostalgic elements hit perfectly for me since the characters would've been born the same year I was. I'm not normally one for visual novels/text-focused games, but Our Life does everything right. The art and music are both excellent in addition to the storytelling. Oh, and the DLC are excellently priced too for how many hours of gameplay and how much depth they add.

I would kill to have spent my real childhood growing up with Cove Holden in Sunset Bird. Our Life is really that enthralling.

Planetside 2 is unique and is the only game in its genre. Lots of fun, but don't play on Connery.

A very worthy successor to Life is Strange. Without spoiling anything, this game provides an emotional (though evoking different emotions than the original) choice-based story that provides just as much social commentary, tension, and great music as the original Life is Strange (and BTS). The original Life is Strange still stands as my favorite story game of all time due to the particular emotions it evoked for me and how relatable many of the characters were to me – this game comes nowhere close to touching that for me, but still is just as good when looking at it without that emotional filter. The characters feel very real, have plenty of depth, and are sufficiently relatable for me to feel some connection to them.

Highly recommended.

Simply put, Life is Strange is the best game to ever have been made.

A prequel to the best game ever? Sounds hard to live up to. But this game manages to do just that, and it does it very well. While not as insanely good as Life is Strange, Before the Storm is an excellent look at the events leading up to LiS, and is just as full of suspense and surprise and emotion as the original. I HIGHLY recommend this, regardless of whether you've played the original LiS or not (it would be interesting to see how someone would perceive LiS having played this first...just saying).

Super cool, but desperately needs an in-game tutorial. You have to figure out all the controls by yourself, which is not the easiest. New update completely fixes my issues with that.

Super cools, controls are now fairly intuitive, and performance is improved significantly from previous versions.

In the short bit that I've played (from the free weekend), I have found this to be an extremely fun game. I am going to buy it now that it's on sale.

This is the best racing game ever. Period. Nothing else even comes close.

There is a ton of community content, and more being created constantly, meaning that there is a basically unlimited number of levels to play. The game's community is super awesome, from Speedy Saturdays (a group multiplayer event that happens every Saturday), to the forums, to the subreddit. The workshop has tons of levels for all the game modes. The game has leaderboards, and people try to get the highest time on the global leaderboards, sometimes involving insanely hard skips through parts of the level.

The game has Split Screen and Online multiplayer, both of which work extremely well. The split screen multiplayer has the option to split both horizontally or vertically when playing with only two players. The online multiplayer works extremely well, even with a super high (2-3 second) latency.

The devs are quick to respond to reported bugs, and there is an experimental branch that is updated very frequently, containing the newest bug fixes and content.

The game is very supporting of all types of controllers, from the Xbox 360 controller, to the keyboard, to joysticks. It is super easy to customize the controls to work exactly how you want them to. The game seems to detect and have default settings for all the controllers that I've thrown at it.

I very much recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a fun racing game, to play by themselves or with friends. Distance is fun, competitive, fast-paced, and full of action. I don't believe that there is a better racing game in the world right now.

Oh and also, ♥♥♥♥ grip.

Robocraft is a game where you build a tank in a Minecraft like environment, then use it to fight. You battle on a team, against another team, and try to destroy all the the other team's bots or capture their base. You then earn RP, TP, and levels to build better, higher tier robots. This game is very fun (and a bit addicting), and is something that I would definately recommend. 11/10!

I am currently building a Megabot. Getting all of the RP and TP necessary for it is a bit grindy and very time consuming, but very worth it, epecially with the free premium from Easter. My current bot is very tanky and sometimes gets 5 kills in a game.
