This is the freshest thing to happen to the gaming industry in a decade. So many little ideas that come together in such a big way that you have to ask yourself why we haven't been doing them in games this entire time.

EDIT: Major Order Complete. Sony remembered the hedgehog. You can say what you want about Sony, but they listen to their fans. I will give them my money, just not my private data.

Turns out you can get a lot of Steam Summer Sale points by playing this game.

Also turns out you can get more by reviewing it.

Harvest Moon fans rejoice!

10/10! Would *blub* again!

This is not a game. It's a sport.

Unimpressive gameplay bolstered by a compelling story and intense characters. The story alone kept me going throughout the entire game, racking up questions and theories in my head until a mere three hours in it abruptly ended.

It feels like the developers ran out of funding and said, "Let's just end it here with a 'Happily Ever After' and get it up on Steam". Absolutely none of the questions I had were answered, and all my exciting theories were brushed away with cliches.

I'm giving it a thumbs up because what little of it there was deserves to be experienced, but it's sorely disappointing to see a story with so much potential fall so flat so soon with a tidy little "everyone wins!" ending.

Started playing this game... All other video games have lost their meaning. So has time and space and anything rational.

To play and enjoy EVE properly, you must first forget everything you know about video games.

Everything in EVE is relative, especially movement. Being able to see your ship in 3D space is irrelevent when you can do it entirely with the text data provided for you.

This game is almost entirely Player driven. There are some NPC's but the market, logistics, security, and pretty much every other aspect of the game experience is controlled by players.

It is an near perfect libertarian-capitalist environment. Hard work, dedication, and cooperation are greatly rewarded, but sloth and foolishness are severely punished.

Because of this, you get a SEVERE amount of freedom. Diplomatic players can actually reap the benefits and travel freely between factions. You're not locked in by choices you've made from the second you've started playing your character, just the ones you've made well into your game.

Another side effect of this freedom/cooperation style of gameplay is that you may very well NEVER pilot an awesome fighter frigate/crusier/destroyer in your life, and you'll be totally ok with that. It is very likely that you'll have gotten a mining barge so huge, that you can afford to pay people to pilot fighting ships for you to keep away those pesky player-pirates. Or you could BE a player pirate, blowing up secuirty teams and expensive mining barges and taking their cargo. For that matter, you might even decide you want to build an awesome stealth-salvager to run away with the ship wreckage after those pirates and security players blow eachother up.

Bottom line, you can and likely will just do whatever you want in this game, but you have to let go everything you know about video games - ESPECIALLY MMO's - first.

WOOOOO

This is NOT Minecraft 2d. I honestly thought the that until I really spent a few hours playing it.

If you thought Minecraft combat and gear was limited and boring, this is your rememedy. Keeping the fundamental sandbox/builder game and injecting it's own brand of retro adventure rpg, Terraria has created a whole new game experience. While it might not have the expansive and beautiful worlds Minecraft makes, every inch of Terraria's random worlds is useful, exciting, and worth exploring.

If you think you got your money's worth for Minecraft, then this will be a much better bargain for you.
