It was a fun game at Ep. 1, but Ep. 2 really takes it to the next level! Decisions are carrying more weight, and the game continues to be very well written!

I'll be purchasing each episode as they come out, up until the concluding one!

Amusing insults and wacky characters.

Been playing this, on and off, for years now. Fun, yet simple dungeon crawler.

I tried Sylvio before playing Sylvio 2, got half an hour through it, and hated it. Got my refund, even.

Sylvio 2 was much more fun for me. Everything I hated about Sylvio was removed from Sylvio 2. Each island has its own storyline, told through the items in the room and the recordings you get. There are even other islands you don't get coordinates to, which have goodies for other areas (such as a key to a locked hotel room).

The ending left me scratching my head and saying "WTF?", but I've seen worse endings, too. All in all, I did enjoy this game, and would consider playing it again.

Combat is atrocious! No way to directly pick a weapon to use, must scroll through weapons until you find the one you're needing, while getting shot at the entire time. Constantly running out of ammo for my heavy pistol, which only holds 60 shots (far too low!). This forces me to revert to my semi-automatic, which hits the target 1 out of 3 shots. Also get stuck on walls when trying to move, since my character thinks hugging the wall with a Krogan in his face is a good idea. Also, medkits wouldn't work for me, despite having them hotkeyed.

Also, whose idea was it to put EVERY SKILL ON THE SAME COOLDOWN? This renders having multiple abilities useless, because you can't use them once you've used something else. Use Throw? Can't use Overload. Use your shield? Can't use Throw or Overload. Stupid!

Mass Effect's combat and abillity usage was fine, but they really screwed up badly on Mass Effect 2. I can't even beat the Archangel level on Casual difficulty, where you close the 3 shutters!

Was able to successfully get The Unofficial Skyrim/Dawnguard/Hearthfire/Dragonborn/High Resolution Patches working on this by copying and pasting the files into their proper place. Was even able to verify in-game, by checking the in-game Mods menu, that they were being recognized. No luck on SKSE, though, so if you run mods that require SKSE, may want to pass. Or, at least, wait until SKSE becomes compatible with this version of Skyrim.

Those of you who expected bugs to be fixed...this is a GRAPHICS update, not a GAME update. This game hasn't been patched/updated in years.

This game is a lot of fun, even if you don't like soccer. There's also a Hockey mode (Snow Day) and a Basketball mode (Hoops), and the Rumble mode is just wacky (in a good way).

Was given this game by the CEO of the company, via Twitch messaging. Streamed it for about two hours, and got approximately halfway through the game (according to the in-game overhead dialogue).

Pros:
1: GREAT concept for a game!
2: Customizable controls (do it from the launcher, not from in-game!) I actually swapped Blue and Yellow (1 and 3), moved Zoom to F, and moved Sneak to LAlt.
3: Later puzzles REALLY make you think out the rooms you're in, and are no longer a cakewalk.
4: "Colorblind mode" uses symbols to show colors (didn't test it, not color-blind, but wanted to mention it DOES exist).

Cons:
1: First few levels are almost TOO easy (I know, tutorials, but I'm usually a quick study on controls and gameplay).
2: I'd personally swap where the blue and the yellow tubes are on the gun. On the left side, it shows Yellow/Red/Blue, but looking at the gun, it's colored Blue/Red/Yellow. Kept hitting blue while looking for yellow, and vice versa.
3: Zero help in-game if you get stuck. Either reset or die, over and over and over again. (No, I don't want the game spoon-fed to me, but I have the patience of a three-year old in a candy store.)

The overhead dialogue somewhat reminds me of the Portal series, although a bit less degrading towards you. (Good? Bad? I'll let you decide.)

In summary, it's not normally the type of game I'd play (I'm more of an RPG guy), but this game was actually fun. I don't feel like playing this game was a waste of my time, and I would recommend it to others.

Pros: Free download, Fun storyline involving the planeswalkers, can play with others online, doesn't feel very "pay-to-win", group quests that everyone partakes in, solo mode vs. computer (randomized deck and colors) is reasonably fun, and has (to date) never glitched on me.

Cons: Liliana's first deck is ATROCIOUS! (lost five games in a row), Two-headed Giant freezes up regularly (unable to complete two matches that I was winning, and lost 60 coins as a result), Cannot play against decks you created yourself (useful for testing out new decks), cannot trade cards with friends.

Conclusion: If you're new to MTG, get this. If you're into storylines, get this. If you're a hardcore player who only wants all the best cards and loves trading with other people, pass on this.
