So far, so good.

Two months after it's release, Helldivers 2 is set in stone as an amazing, chaotic and everchanging world. The redefinition of what a Game as a service can be, all of that for a fair price.

Gameplay feels amazing, use weapons and ORBITAL BARRAGES to bring democracy to sentient giant bugs, laugh as you see your body thrusted into the air after a hateful automaton robot presented you his 8 rockets.

Enlist now to become ... A Helldiver. *Epic music plays out*

Amazing framework of a game to play games within it, like Garry's mod would in it's time.

Wanna play cards ? Throw dices at your friend ? Play tabletop RPG adventures ? Board games ? Or perhaps you are looking to play Warhammer 40k battles ?

Tabletop Simulator has all of that and even more. Workshop and community are filled with talent, you will find something that suits you.

One of the best RTS game ever made, it's still very enjoyable 20 years later. A must play of the genre.

If only EA would remaster it, or give it a sequel.

Early Access Review
To play with friends only.

A fun situation generator where comedy flirts with frightening moments, you will enjoy every moment of laugh and scream at the service of the Company.

Brilliant, thoughtful, introspective, challenging, beautiful.

An intelligent puzzle game.
A narrative tale about the universe, our place in it, what makes us human, how to deal with our errors and grow up, accept death of loved ones.
A beautiful journey in exceptionnal landscapes.
A loveletter to cats.

Talos Principle 2 is a lot of things; it is for sure a great game that you should try and play through.

A free, fan-made, extremely polished and fascinating mod of what could have been an ambitious Episode 3.

From the perspective of a bad guy, you explore the northern activities of the rebellion you used to serve as Gordon Freeman. Lorewise it's great to see a bit more of the Combine inner works; crushing opposition. You will end up in very unexpected places, with even a horror vibe at some point where running away is the best option.

The last act especially, is a great take on where the official story could have gone. I will quote a comment i saw on reddit:
With Marc Laidlaw's Epistle 3 text and Entropy Zero 2, I finished my mourning on Half-Life 3.

Gameplay mechanics are also ingeniously expanded; no spoil. :)

Please, play this. It's great and Free.

You are sent as a rescue team to help a troubled mining ship, like it's another monday morning. But after setting foot on the USG Ishimura itself, you will soon realize that you too, will wish for a rescue.

A classic survival-horror game that still hold up 15 years later. The Remake is definitely one of those modern remakes that don't smell the quickly done work; Graphics are cranked up to modern standard, but some entire areas have been remade. In both cases, old and new rooms will feel just like what you remembered, but in 2023. Isaac is much more relatable as he is talking now, a few dialogues have been updated following this upgrade.

The instinctive and original gameplay has been preserved, with a small update given to the weapon upgrade systems, to match the more recent Dead Space 2.

Thanks to modern computers, the Ishimura itself is now one giant level that you will explore, sometimes with back-track to precedent areas; some of them will be altered and every room you enter, wheter it is for the first or seventh time, will never feel safe.

Necromorphs are an almost constant threat that will keep you on the edge of insanity.

Sometimes it feels like a tabletop rpg where you can immerse yourself in the horror of the ship, exploring it the way you want, fighting the way you prefer with the monsters that roam the ship.

9/10, superbe atmosphere to look at and play in, good gameplay and instant-classic narrative inspired by movies like Alien and The Thing.

I removed one point because 60€ is a bit much for a game you've already played 15 years ago, even tho the amount of work put in it simply transpires.



Better than Callisto Protocol

I consider this game like the conclusion of the trilogy and i will rate it as a whole.

A very good strategy game where you will surely sink hundred of hours trying to conquer the world. Especially when you combine all three games, the entire map "Immortal Empire" is the ultimate sandbox where almost the entire Warhammer Fantasy universe battles eachother. A wonderful way to discover Total war games and the universe of Warhammer; with tens of differently played races, each of them separated between unique factions.

Ever wanted to see Gothic-Roman Empire team up with resentful dwarfs against rat-men with minigun and flamethrowers allied to demons with giant axes or buboes in the face serving their Darkgods ? Oh there are medieval frenchmen and giant Toad wizards too.

It has a few downsides, bugs and stupidities.

Only the Third game is required now to play the HUGE combined map so there are no more excuses to not try it out already.

"The moment i understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me"

Great game with grandiose soundtrack.

Manage and upgrade a squad, choose what quest (with the proposed rewards) you want to go for first, like an RPG game; launch expeditions with random events and explore tombs like a game of Darkest Dungeon; fight engagements against Necrons in a turn based game similar to XCOM (With actual novelty and twists of the gameplay like having to gather Knowledge, a ressource to spend on some attacks or abilites; or the fact that your main squad of Tech priests will be followed by expandable troops with their uniqueness.).

The game can be harsh early on (at least it was to me) because you might loose lots of expeditions if you struggle to understand the game mechanics, awakening the ennemy force even more, rendering your next missions slightly harder. Also i just finished a run and i think you must start a new game if you want to unlock other items / explore other missions and strategies. Once the game is over, you can't go back to mission screen.

10/10 praise the Omnissiah
