I will try to be less negative in my review than others. The game is a third-person shooter but with strong elements of run-and-gun shooter and some of arcade and RPG features. The effort of the developers to revamp the series is visible but the plot is about the same game series theme: fighting the Seed drug dealers and the drug users turned into monsters. The level design is good but could have been more diverse, while the movement controls are not very friendly with the keyboard+mouse users. One of the good things in the game is the user interface which is well built. Other positive things are the charismatic characters and game graphics (despite the less quality of characters mesh). What I praise the most are the cinematics, a great work of DIGIC Pictures, if I'm not wrong. Overall, my ratings for each game department are: Gameplay: 2.2 / 5; Story: 2.1 / 5; Characters: 3.1 / 5; Video: 3.7 / 5; Audio: 1.5 / 5; UI: 3.9 / 5.
Endling: Extinction Is Forever is a pure survival game where the main protagonist is not a man but o fox, apparently the last specimen, and her cubs struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world following an unknown large-scale cataclysm. The gamestory is the best part of the entire game which deserves all the possible praise. The gameplay and level design are way behind the story's quality. Also I think the game graphics could have made use of Unreal Engine 4 in a much better way. Overall, my score for each game section is: Gameplay: 3.3 / 5; Story: 4.2 / 5; Characters: 3.3 / 5; Video: 2 / 5; Audio: 2.5 / 5; UI: 2.5 / 5
In my opinion Baldur's Gate III is that kind of RPG where you find all necessary elements to fully experiment a game masterpiece. Of course Baldur's Gate III is not a perfect game and there always will be things which can be improved but nevertheless this game is a real piece of art. I love how much attention the creative team paid to all game details such: the graphic design of characters and environment; the characters features, expressions and their voices fully performed by artists; the rich story and history of the Faerûn realm; the complexity of the plot, main quest and other side missions; and last but not the least, the wonderful music score of the game, one of the best game soundtracks ever made. My rating for each section of the game is this: Gameplay: 4.6 / 5; Story: 4.5 / 5; Characters: 4.8 / 5; Video: 4.6 / 5; Audio: 4.5 / 5; User Interface: 4.7 / 5.
Dead Space is one of the best survival horror game ever made with a captivating gameplay, original characters and brilliant graphics for their time. The characters in the story are well built and the gameplay is one of the best. I can't say the same about the gamestory which lacks originality and has few confusing elements. Nevertheless the plot has an interesting progress and the 12 hours that I spent in Dead Space were totally worthwhile. Overall, these are my ratings for the game sections: Gameplay 4.5 / 5; Story 2.3 / 5; Characters 4 / 5; Video department 4 / 5; Audio department 2 / 5; User interface 2.7 / 5.

Dead Space (2008) is one of the best survival horror game ever made with a captivating gameplay, original characters and brilliant graphics for their time. It was a great idea to remake the original game for the new generation of game platforms with remastered graphics.
Based on my humble experience I think Cult of the Lamb is a really good game, with an interesting plot and very funny characters. The violence and the gore elements are very smart covered by the cuteness of characters and their cartoonish behavior. The gameplay is enjoyable and maybe the best feature of Cult of the Lamb, with an explicit tutorial which helps the player to easily learn the game mechanics. Also i find that the game story it's an excellent satire about religious fanaticism. The main protagonist of the game is The Lamb which feels more like an avatar than a main character, while the NPCs are more fun to watch their daily activities and different funny reactions based on their personal emotions. I can't say there is a really bad section in entire game. Maybe only few weak points, such as Save options which sadly are limited to an autosave only. You are unable to make a manual save point or to load a previous game save. As a conclusion that is my score for each section of the game: Gameplay 5/5; Story: 4/5; Characters: 3.9/5; Video: 3.2/5; Audio: 3/5; User Interface: 2.9/5. Overall I highly recommend to play Cult of the Lamb.
Citizen Sleeper is a captivating science fiction story settled on a heavy damaged space station called The Eye. The mysterious space station is isolated somewhere in deep space, inhabited as much as humans and artificial intelligence. Living on The Eye, means a hard life with a lot of drama. It proves to be a place too small for too different characters wich interact and give rise either to conflict or profound friendship. Here you find discrimination, a fierce struggle for surviving, a small local economy with an import and export market, different factions with their own agendas, and more drama. The playable character is a "Sleeper", a human whose mind has been digitized and has been put into a robot body to be controlled by the Essen-Arp corporation. He decide to break free from his masters and escapes on a freighter which brings him to The Eye. Here is where it starts his real fight for surviving and freedom. Your main objective is to survive on The Eye, your new home, build up your own connections and, eventually, leave the place. To accomplish that you have to run different jobs to maintain your robotic body in a good condition and to make your way to the final destination. I like the game story very much, with its complexity and logical settings. The characters are various, with a rich personality and a complex backstory. The missions feel too easy to fulfill, all you need is a lucky roll of dices. I praise the characters design but the rest of the graphics aren't impressive. This is my score for each department of the game: Gameplay: 5/10; Story: 7/10; Characters: 8/10; Video: 2/10; Audio: 6/10; User Interface: 4/10
Due to other reasons I played only the Book One of the game but I made a promise to myself to find another occasion to make a full or even a perfect run of the game because "As Dusk Falls" worth all the time spent. Maybe doesn't have the best gameplay and the graphics are average because those are not the main concern for a game of its kind. After all it's a interactive story and the best part of the game is obviously the story. Also the game deserves to be praised for its audio department with an accurate sound, very good voice actors and a high quality score music. Here is my personal rating for each department of the game: Gameplay: 2.5/5; Story: 5/5; Characters: 3.5/5; Video: 2/5; Audio: 5/5; User Interface: 3.2/5
My first impression about the game could be a bit superficial after I play it at full speed . My first feeling about the game was that the gameplay is missing almost completely even for an interactive story. The player interact very little with the game only using a mouse click now and then to advance through the story which could be insufficient for a player who seek more challenge. The good part of the game is the short but moving story of Miriam, a swimming athlete whose childhood memories are depicted in a fantastical manner. And another good, if not the best side of the game is the surrounding atmosphere created with the help of the background music. Here is my personal rating for each department of the game:
Gameplay: 2.5/5
Story: 1.7/5
Characters: 1/5
Video: 2/5
Audio: 3/5
User Interface: 2.2/5
In addition to brilliant gameplay of the original game, the new version comes with an improved graphic, with a resolution up to 4K, with a smarter AI, and an organized user interface. I can't say there is any minus compared to original game, so it's at least as best as ""Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings."
Gameplay: 10 / 10

Can you call this a remaster of the original "Pharaoh" just because has the graphics a bit improved? No way! Sorry to say it but it's nothing but a poor, unfinished and full of game bugs version of the original game.
"The Cosmic Shake" should be a game full of fun. After all it's a platform-adventure game set in a world(s) with a whole spectrum of colors which can't be boring, right?... Wrong. There is nothing innovative, nothing original in its gameplay, story, or anything else, except the graphics. Yes, I admit that the graphic quality is at another level than the previous SpongeBob titles. But that means too little for a game with a level design unoriginal - I feel like playing again BFBB-Rehydrated - and unfit for a keyboard & mouse. I'm mention here only the PC version input devices where other options are missing. Game Settings and the UI are other disappointments for me. UI is not very handy to browse it, while the options for video and control settings are missing. And, personally, I found the game story pretty dull with those ideas of already overused multi / pocket universe concept. Sadly there is not much to say about the positive aspects of the game. Well, I say it once again that the graphics are of a higher quality than any of the previous games of the series. Both thumbs up for that. Also the sound design is one of the best and the background music is catchy, adding more enjoyment to the gameplay. Gameplay: 6/10 Story: 4/10 Characters: 7/10 Video: 7/10 Audio: 8/10 UI: 5/10
After I finished the game I had the feeling it was too short. Actually it's not about the game being too short, but it's the story that leaves the impression to be abruptly finished with a constrained ending (endings in this case). The story begins promising with all that mystery around the missing villagers abducted by a surrounding dreadful forest, and becomes more interesting when the main character starts to ask more questions about that. But you find yourself in the last chapter of the game waiting anxious for some answers or at least some clues about what really happened and, instead of that, all you got are more questions. Children of Silentown accentuate the sensation of an incomplete work also because the game focus more on the story line and less on the gameplay. The point-and-click actions are more exploring than puzzling tasks. If there is a department of the game which I would praise that is the background music. Also I like the charming personality of the main character, Lucy, and I would loved to see more rich personalities of the other characters. Gameplay: 4 / 10 Storyline: 4 / 10 Characters: 5 / 10 Graphics: 4 / 10 Sound: 5 / 10 UI: 5 / 10
I can see everyone praises the pixel-art of the game. Well if you compare it with a similar graphic style I agree that is a very good piece of work. Far be it from me to minimize the hard work of the game art director and his team but I think the pixel-art is too overrated.. I admit that I'm not a fan of the pixelated graphic so my opinion is purely subjective. But the truth is the pixel-art is a graphic style especially used for projects with a low-budget. The worst section of the game is the UI (user interface) which I consider it very poor designed. On the other hand, what I like the most about the game is the complexity of characters and their natural behavior. And I don't mean only the two main characters, Atma and Raya, which are so natural in their decisions regarding some complex situations, but also the other characters, each one of them being subject of the story..
