Limbo Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:

Limbo is a very simple and very enjoyable, puzzle-platformer.

The story line is basic, to say the least. You are a boy with no name, who went down in Limbo, in search of his missing sister.

You soon realize that there is only one rule in Limbo - everything kills you. So you must avoid traps, tribesman, spiders and much more, in order to save your sister.

The most interesting thing about Limbo is the monochromatic, black and white graphic stile. It gives the game somewhat creepy feeling. That feeling is strongly reinforced, by the sounds and music. 

The gameplay is one of the simplest i have seen. Most of the puzzles are physics based where you have to drag an item, use a switch, time a jump, or something similar. The puzzles become fairly challenging by end of the game, and you can get a lot of enjoyment, by solving them. 

To top it all of, Limbo is a fun, creepy, puzzle-platformer, with characteristic graphic style.

I hope you liked my review of Limbo.

 If you did, please, comment and share with your friends.

  Have a nice day.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a first person, RPG set in 2027.

In the near future a very controversial peace of technology was created - augmentations. This technology can be used to enhance any human to become faster, stronger and smarter.

You play as Adam Jensen, the security director in Sarif Industries - the leading manufacturer of augments. After a terrorist attack on the company, Jensen is critically injured and if forced to get augmented. 

After a short recovery period, you go after the people responsible for the attack. 

The game gives you a lot of ways to complete your objective. The levels are nonlinear, with a lot of alternative paths and hidden treasures. But the biggest choice, by far, is the way you approach the objective. Do you play as a mass murderer, or someone that never kills? Do you sneak threw the air ducts, or smash the front door with a machine gun in hand, screaming "Hasta la vista, baby "? These are  just some of the questions you will have to answer, when you play the game. 

The DLC "The Missing Link" is the only major problem i have with Deus Ex. Its a fairly good DLC with about four hours of gameplay, but in raises more questions, than it answers. 

Some minor problems include graphic bugs and very rarely - crashes. The PC version is solid, but i believe that the Xbox one very slow, if played from the disk. So its better to install in on the HDD, if you are using a console.

To top it all of Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a filled with intrigue, betrayal, mystery and a lot of choices.

I hope you liked my review of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

 If you did, please, comment and share with your friends.

  Have a nice day.

Darksiders Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:

Darksiders is a action-adventure similar to God of War and Devil May Cry. 

You play as War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. War was tricked in to braking the law, of the Charred Council and for that his powers are taken away. So now he is seeking revenge.

But the Council don't let you go free, they send The Watcher with you. He is to help you, if need be and to insure your loyalty to the Council.

When i first started playing Darksiders, i was not impressed. The enemies where weak, the combos where really easy to do and it was generally boring. But after the first hour, or so, when i got new combos, new weapons, when the enemies got stronger, i really started to enjoy it. 

No matter what you do the gameplay is very fluid, your combos link nicely together, with no lag, or any other problems. 

Graphicly the game is beautiful, with interesting enemy models and good environment design.

The PC port is fairly good and the game is equally enjoyable on keyboard + mouse and a controller. 

But the game has some big problems. First too many puzzles and they are not good, it feels like they put them, just to make the game longer, but it gets very frustrating at times. And even worst are the water puzzles, because swimming is very, very boring.

To top it all of Darksiders is a very enjoyable action-adventure, with solid combat and a interesting story. But it doesn't know its strengths, so there are too many bad puzzles.

I hope you liked my review of Darksiders.

 If you did, please, comment and share with your friends.

  Have a nice day.

The Walking Dead Episode 2 Review

Hi, my name is Nik and today i am reviewing:

The Walking Dead is a game based on non critical characters from the graphic novel. 

Episode 2 starts three mounts after the first one. The survivors have made themselves comfortable in the old motel. They have build a wall and feel relatively safe. But there is a big problem - food shortage and hunger has made everyone very nervous. You, as Lee, are in the middle of this and you have to make the difficult choices, that will keep the group alive. 

The gameplay is mostly the same as the first one. In conversations you have limited time to decide what to say, to pick a side, or you can just stay silent. When the characters is doing some physical action, you have a very simple quick time event. The its very similar to games like Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit. 

The impressive thing about The Walking Dead is the story. The game gives you a false sense of security and you can never see what will come next. 

The best thing is that you make your own story, by picking sides and deciding what to do. But its not black and white, like Mass Effect. All choices are shades of gray and there is not a clear divide between "good" and "bad". This gives the series very good replay value.

I really don't want to talk about problems, but there is a big one that worries me. Since English is not my native language, sometimes i don't have enough time to read all of the choices. So consider this, if you cant read fast, or take it as a challenge and improve your reading. 

So to top it all of, The Walking Dead Episode 2 is a very good continuation of the serious and i strongly recommend it to fans of RPG's or the TV show. 

I hope you liked my review of The Walking Dead Episode 2.

 If you did, please, comment and share with your friends.

  Have a nice day.
