A very faithful remake of the original Half Life. It definitely was worth the wait. Good visuals, good gunplay, and well done levels.

Got this at a discount, so the ability to play this in 4k at constant 60fps (which I can't hold with the Prapare to Die Edition) was well worth the 10 Euro.

After the last patch, the stuttering I was experiencing has all but left for me. The game is now smooth and a joy to play. I enjou the new QoL changes, the new visuals, and the oldschool gameplay. For 20 Euro there is so much content that I don't even need to touch the multiplayer.

A great throwback to the days of Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale.

Still one of the best classic RTSs there is!

I've beaten Leon's story and was so satisfied with my purchase that I purchased some more! I wholeheartedly recommend this DLC, because the original music provides it's own charm and atmosphere to the game! If you love the base game, this will be a worthy purchase.

So far, this game is a pleasant surprise. The demo already made mee feel confident, but the main course is even better.

Pros:
+ Good visuals
+ Well done ambiance and atmosphere
+ Great animations and cutscenes
+ Slower paced gameplay (no repeat of RE5 or 6)
+ Great gore and dismemberment system - very appealing
+ Good voice acting
+ Very good optimization (at leas for my system - stable 60 fps with everything maxed on 1080p - on a GTX 1080 GPU + 6700k 4,4 GHz CPU)

Cons
- The anti aliasing blurs the screen a bit too much (can be solved with the Reshade utility)
- Sadly uses Denuvo DRM

If you are about to buy this, I can only recommend this game with all my heart.

While it will only take you about an hour to finish, this mod for Half Life is still fun to play and pass some time. The visuals are nice (since this is still the Half Life 1 engine), the soundtrack is fun and upbeat (very '80), and the overall layout of the levels is great. Since this mini campaign is FREE, there is no reason not to recommend it. Go get it!

Fallout 4 is not a bad game on it's own. It is, however, rather dumbed down in RPG aspecs, dialogue, player choices and character progression from it's two "3d Fallout" predeccessors, especialy Fallout: New Vegas. With the recent addition of the so called "Creation Club" (read: Skyrim paid mods 2.0), the game has sadly gained more unnecessary baggage that adds nothing of value to it. Not only that, but this new system seem built to download the contents of it's database to your HDD (or SSD), thus possibly ever expanding the total size of Fallout 4. Keep in mind that you won't be able to access these downloaded paid mods until you, logically, pay for them. Disc locked content, anyone? So, you will end up with a game that will be bloated with content, which will not be available to you.

In this state I cannot recommend you buying this game.

Before I get to the review, I have to say that I am NOT a Kickstarter backer. I bought the game a few days after release (about 3 days later).

Torment: Tides of Numenera is a CRPG very much in the veins of the old Planescape: Torment game, which is regarded as one of the pinnacles of the genre (the other being Baldur's Gate 2). Expect to read a lot of story and dialogue in this game, and DON'T expect an emphasis on combat (if that prospect bores you, this *isn't* a game for you). The game took me nearly 40 hours to beat, which makes it one of the shorter CRPGs out there, but at the same time it felt enough. There are a total of 3 classes to play (a warrior, mage and a "jack of all trades" - I played the mage, in order to get most of the dialogue options).

The visuals consist of pre-rendered still backgrounds (like in the case of all Infinity Engine games, and more recently in the case of Pillars of Eternity) with animated and intertactive elements. The backgrounds are, in my humble opinion, beautiful. The GUI does it's job well (even if it's a bit too "futuristic" for my taste) and the font used works well and you can play with it's size (which is important, because you'll be doing a lot of reading). The visual effects on spells and weapons during combat are okay, some of the early spells look kinda generic, but some of the later ones have cool effects and animations. Character and clothing animations are well done. There is voice acting, but only for key lines. I feel like there could have been more, especially on plot relevent characters. If you have played Pillars of Eternity, then know that this game has less voice acting than that game.

The soundtrack to this game (which I got on a separate CD as a bonus) is okay and pleasing, albeit not exactly memorable (I can recall only the battle theme). That isn't that big of a deal for me, because I don't mind a soundtrack that "blends in" and doesn't interrupt reading.

The story is well made, I didn't notice any glaring problems like abundant plot-holes. It kept me interested and invested in the game and it's characters 'till the end. The end itself is competent, imho, and takes into consideration a lot of the player's behavior during the game. The party members are quite good and interesting, and none of them follow any particular clichés (also, I didn't find any of them annoying, which is a big plus). There is very little combat, even for a game inspired by Planescape: Torment. You can skip a lot if you play a talkative and persuasive character (which is good), but the total number of potential (and unskippable) combat encounters (called "crises" in this game) can becounted on the fingers your hands (only one hand when it comes to those that you can't skip through dialogue - including the tutorial fight)

It needs to bew said, however, that the game has a few bugs and glitches (at least at the time of writing this review). The most annoying I ran into was a bug that kept messing up the volume of voices and general sfx, making them very quiet and hard to hear. This bug occured when transiting between maps and messing around in the inventory and character screen. The game never crashed, however, and I didn't encounter any broken quests or dialogues. As far as framerate goes, my GTX 970, I7 CPU and 16 GB of RAM kept it at solid 60fps the entire time. Loading times were reasonably fast on my Samsung EVO SSD (500GB).

So, let us summarize:

Pros:
- beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds
- competent, mature and interesting story
- interesting characters and party members
- seamless, if not memorable, soundtrack

Cons:
- short overall game time for a cRPG (cca 40 hrs)
- buggy sound fx and a handful of other, smaller bugs
- very little combat (Planescape: Torment had more potential encounters)

While not perfect, Torment: Tides of Numenera is a competently written cRPG that plays fine, and I still count it among games worth playing and endorsing. Be prepared to read a lot, though.
