Great design, fun combat, a lot of replay-ability, easy to play but hard to master, deaths didn't feel annoying like some roguelites. It's well worth the money given the amount of content you are given!

This was one of my most beloved childhood games. I remember spending countless hours on my Dreamcast with my sister in the Chao Garden just raising Chao itself. The main storyline is great (and I have yet to beat the end stage even though it's been like 20 years) and wish that Sega would release a game specifically around the Chao Garden, as it was sooo fun for me when I was a kid and I could see them somewhat competing with other big name titles like pokemon.

Don't let my steam hours played fool you, as I played through all of ff13 on my xbox 360 and decided to purchase the PC version so I have a copy that I will be able to keep forever.

I might be one of the outliers, but I personally think ff13 is in the top 3 favorite final fantasy titles, along with final fantasy 10 and 7. I don't quite understand some people dislike for the game, maybe it's the shift to a more fast pace strategy game in comparison to previous titles where you could take some time to plan out your moves. However, I personally like the game's tempo as it isn't too fast that you can't plan put your plays, but is fast enough to still keep you on your toes. Again, idk why there was a dislike for ff13 and I would give the game a 10/10 (as I would do the same for ff10 and ff7, though I might give ff7 a 11/10). The game is worth playing in my opinion and I personally think it is better than even the newer released ff15.

Fun game, more entertaining when playing with friends xD

This hack and slash/dungeon crawler game is extremely fun given that it is free to play. The developers of PoE are really dedicated towards making the game enjoyable years after it's initial release. With the creation of seasons, the game has a lot of replayobilty that other games in this genre lack. Though I will say that the replayobilty is both a blessing and a curse sometimes, as you tend to do the same thing over and over again with each season and hopefully the new mechanics for that season is interesting to the point that you don't mind doing the same thing you have done dozens of times over again. Though to be fair, there is a ENORMOUS skill tree that allows you to branch out and try hundreds of different builds to make each playthrough unique.

Overall I would rate the game a 9/10, with the only two real downsides for me being that the game can feel repetitive at times and also their trading system can be a bit complicated and they have no real in-game trading center to centralize trading and make the process be more efficient.

Got this game way back when it was released on the Xbox 360 and got this on Steam right before they stopped selling it. This game is highly underrated for how good it is and am surprised at the lack of reception I received given that it came from such a popular publisher (Square Enix). The game has its flaws, but it is really fun setting up you teams for battle and having a strategy for each team and how they will work together as a group and with the other teams. A 10/10 game that unfortunately didn't get the reception it deserved.

As someone who has played previous Final Fantasy titles, I personally think that the game was designed to try something new but was delivered somewhat poorly. I did have fun playing the game, and I do like what Square Enix is trying to do with the game. I just think that it didn't quite hit the mark to make it be one of my favorites from their titles. HOWEVER, I think that future releases will likely improve on the failures of this game and make one freaking awesome game in the future. Also as a small side note, I think the story wasn't too great which didn't help and maybe upcoming releases will have better storylines (as I know from past titles that Square Enix has the capability to create great stories in their games).

EDIT: I will mention here that I have not completed the game yet, so I could end up being completely wrong about the story and could find it to be really good in the end. If I find it to be that way, I will definitely edit my review.

So would I recommend this game? I probably would say it is worth it when there is a sale going on for the game, but probably not for the $35 price tag. Overall I give the game a 7/10

The amount of times I've made a new game, played it for a couple days and then got my fill of Skyrim is easily in the double if not triple digits lol. Really fun game for what it is worth!

Surprised they took it off the Steam shop, but I guess you guys could go get it on the Epic Games store if ya wanted. I will still review it as I like the game personally as some of my coworkers got me into the game that were Diamond ranked (and another that is Champion 1), so they taught me how to play decently really quick and man is it fun to play the game every now and again with them as we can just mess around in high elo lobbies and they like to joke with the enemy when I pop off saying that "you Champion ranked players just got owned by a Platinum ranked new player". Too funny and is much more enjoyable to play with friends.

Game has potential that had been messed up by countless bugs and issues from Amazon Games Studio. I don't recommend playing the game in it's current state, but am hoping that AGS pulls what FF14 did with their bad start and creates a great MMO in the future.

So I don't recommend getting the game now, but maybe check up on it in the future and see if the team behind New World has buckled down and worked to create a good game, as I honestly think that the base game has a good groundwork to become a great MMO, it's just not there yet. Only thing I would really like to mention is that they need to add more depth to the combat system as it is rather stale and could become more dynamic if so that it wasn't just 2 weapons with 3 skills on each weapon. Would be cool to see combined skills where if you go for a certain 2 weapon build that those two weapons could have some synergy skills that utilize both weapons in a skill. That's just one example of adding depth to the combat system. Of course, this is my personal opinion and maybe they are already considering these things (which I hope they are, as they need more combat depth).
