Super great atmosphere and story

This is a really good digital adaptation of an already really good board game. I haven't tried out online multiplayer yet, but I like to see that both asynchronous and synchronous play are available.

Admittedly, I didn't pay much attention to the announcement for Definitive Edition, but I was pretty apathetic as I figured it was Microsoft lazily "remastering" HD Edition to try to get some more sales. But I was wrong; this version looks absolutely amazing and is absolutely worth a buy, even if you have HD Edition.

Very good, although perhaps a bit short. Not sure it's worth $25 for the length.

Definitely worthwhile to get it on sale though.

Was great a couple years ago but ever since getting my Index it just crashes every time I try to go to the main menu/lab after the tutorial/intro.

It's a good puzzle game

I don't think it's quite as good as JC3 in some ways, but I think it's better in others. I didn't really enjoy some of the new mechanics at first, but after some time I found that I actually kinda prefer the new way some things are done over the old ways.

Despite the negativity, I'd still say that this is a good sequel.

It's a really good puzzle game. The puzzles are pretty easy until about the last quarter of the game or so, but they're enjoyable to solve nonetheless.

The story is... meh. It's one of those games that basically just gives you hints as to what the story is and you're expected to piece together the rest, which basically just results in you fan-fictioning your own plot. If you want a real plot check out the game hub discussions where some people have put together some pretty good interpretations, but don't go into this expecting a real story and to be left satisfied with the plot. The puzzles are great, but they were clearly made first (which is alright if you like a good puzzle game) with the plot kind of woven (loosely) around them. The voice acting is great; the plot is just bad.

The main puzzles will take about 4-5 hours, give or take.

Terrible game with terrible devs and terrible performance where you can buy items only to have their value revoked because muh ebil third-party marketplaces.

Valve clearly doesn't care about their customers, especially those who bought this product (and microtransactions within this product).
