If you liked Skyrim, you'll like this as well. It's pretty much the same as Skyrim but with seriously huge amount of content to go through, plus the MMO elements

Any game that you sink more than 50 hours in is surely worth its full price. This game is no exception to that. It's the first Assassins Creed I've played, and it is in many ways like Tomb Raider - lots of stuff to do outside main quest, overall game is a tad easier than it could be.

The mercenary system is exciting at first but not much fun at higher levels when the only time you lose a fight is because you got careless or fell asleep or something.

The Cultist system is very similar to the mercenaries, and equally not challenging. Still a lot of fun to fight them though.

Deserves a strong 4 out of 5, I'd say.

Was alright. Turning off all mission guides is a must if you want any kind of challenge and you have to completely ignore the challenges because those are just full of spoilers. Missions offer plenty of different ways to complete them, and the mission guides and challenges are there so you could do a "collect them all", meaning finish the missions in every way possible.

It has been a really long time since a game made me think. In a good way. Not like "this is frustrating, better check youtube for walkthrough" but rather strangely enticing. Inviting to figure out the puzzles, find the stars.

The puzzles of fitting the tetris pieces together are rather easy, the bigger ones just take some time to get through. I had to get some help with two of the mazes as well. All in all, an enjoyable slow-paced game

Same as the other Middle Earth game, just larger

Be a pirate. Plunder ships and get heaps of booty. But that's just the setting, not the whole game. Reminds a lot of the coveted Baldur's Gate 2. For my playthrough, I did the pirate thing a lot until all captains were defeated, then did the actual quests and main story.

I enjoyed it a lot. The Forgotten Sanctum DLC was super nice as well.

Great as a follow-up on Rise of The Tomb Raider. Exploration and trinket hunting feels much better. Ancient ruins no longer contain parts of modern firearms, that is a pleasant change.

Overall difficulty is still easy, especially combat. The first weapons turn out to be the best, so acquiring new guns or bows was sort of pointless. Most of the time I was using the bow or stealth takedowns.

The tomb puzzles have improved over RotTR, now you actually have to think a bit to figure out the solution.

All in all, the game is worth the price. I enjoyed playing it.

This is a game you play to collect the trinkets and explore the maps. If you play it just for the story, it'll be a 'meh' experience. That said, the trinket hunt is fun, even if some parts are a bit nonsensical (pumpkin toss, for example).

I would consider this not as one game but a collection of many small games with 1-2 hours gameplay each. The story in those parts is somewhat linked together but otherwise all parts start from scratch.

That said, it's still fun. Light and easy version of nu-Xcom, if you will.

Help a dude fulfill his three wishes so he'd get rid of a genie. That's the shortest description I can think of. The story is quite dark but still great. Not very challenging but not too easy either.
