How much could I say about this gem of a game?
Everything that I have seen about this game takes me away and carries me on a journey by itself.
The art, the music, the story itself...
I simply cannot recommend this game enough, word alone is not enough to convey the beauty within the Golden Treasure.

I have taken all the time I could to doing everything that is possible in the game. I have done actions I have felt proud of, actions I felt ashamed of, and actions that lead me to new experiences themselves.
I have been doubtful, as I have been brave.
I have been destructive, as I have been compassionate.
I have been detached of interest in an action, as I have been overtaken by curiosity.
And I have died, for I have lived, and I have prospered. Death is but an end of an experience, to the beginning of a new one.
I have been all of these things, as I have also been none of them.

Give it a try, you may be captivated by it.
May you be blessed.

This VR title is worth it for the new and coming modes. That being said, you'll probably want a good computer for the optimal experience...

Still, can't deny that my experience in it was pretty good.

It's a game where you can do stuff.
Yeah.
It's alright...


... all joking aside...

Garry's Mod - a sandbox of your own creation, your ideas, your imagination. Whilst it isn't exactly infinite in terms of what you can create, there is such a broad selection of what you can create that it really doesn't matter about the former.

For instance - the gamemodes. GMod has a HUGE selection of gamemodes, all of which are made by the same people who play the game (minus sandbox, the default gamemode). There are popular selections such as Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT), Zombie Survival (ZS), DarkRP, Breach, and even the 'real' game of Hide & Seek. As implied, many of these are made by someone out there who knows how to create these attractive modes - even you can make one if you tried!

A definite downside however is the few community creations which probably shouldn't belong...
...but that's (easily, in my opinion) overruled by all the other shenanigans I've just outlined.

Try it! Maybe it'll appeal to you, maybe it won't. That's fine. Everyone's got tastes, but it is definitely worth a try. Maybe you won't play all these gamemodes, but something there has got to satisfy you. Right...?

Maybe I'm not the review you're looking for... just play the game already!

EDIT: I'm still playing this game, to this day (as of the 22nd of November, 2018). Sure, not as much as I used to since the five years I've owned this game, but it is very much still alive and just goes to show the replay value of this game. This gem which is very affordable, to note. Low price and high value.

This game is easy for the casual, difficult for the achievement hunter.

The game is pretty linear for casuals, but it branches out when you explore even a little.

Unlike many of the easy-hard games, 'Out There Somewhere' is all puzzle, and while people who just get right to the end have an easier road, those people have a somewhat harder to beat ending than those who have explored.

Don't know what I'm talking about?

Just play this game already.

Six minutes. SIX MINUTES is all it took to regret the mistake I made. Want a sentence to describe?

It is tottered with holes, and many rifts that requires maintenance - and I mean, HEAPS of maintenance.

Do NOT bother looking at this game...

It's a great game, but it's very lonely without friends. I highly recommend it if you have others to play with. If not... don't buy it.

A beautiful game that pushes your emotions around, Ori and the Blind Forest is one that will edge you until what needs to be done is done. The scenery is complex, and hiding little dandies that may be of hand. The background, even, gives hints to places - though not many, still great. The music blends wonderfully with the locations, even if there are a bunch of monsters out there and about. Then there are the characters. You only play as 1, not like it changes anything. Really, there are only 4 characters - including Ori, the protagonist you play as in this game. I'm not going to say any of the other ones, though you might already know them through some way. Difficulty and gameplay? The system for the energy and health are at first, hard to get used to. But as you play on, it feels like it's barely there. More so the energy than the health, which is clearly eyed on. Which is however, a little disappointing. Overall though, I still enjoyed this game. Something about it hooked me into it, and although once you complete the game you can't continue the same save (which just means you can choose another save slot, out of 10 slots), and the difficulty curve is rather a couple of waves, the bright lights and the music stands out of the crowd.
