i can't say anything except: i truly love this game. be it dnd or not, it's perfect and a true masterpiece. thank you for this labour of love larian studios!

What can I say, it's a classic.

I love superhero games and I think the Batman games first really defined for me what a good superhero game should look like. I will always remember playing this for the first time after buying a physical copy of it. Beating up criminals, having my best time as Bruce Wayne, gliding over Gotham in this weird winter paradise.

I'M BATMAN!

I have played through this game twice, and I still love it all the same. It deals with a lot of complex emotions and always brings me close to tears. It's nothing special in terms of gameplay (even less than the other life is strange), when you ask me, but sometimes that hits just right.

I would recommend this game for those cozy gaming sessions when you just need something safe.

A mining town. A mystery. An old bar. Good friends.

All in all, an absolutely amazing game. I enjoyed every second of it.

For me, as someone who grew up with Harry Potter, this game was something I could have only dreamed of. I played a few of the old Harry Potter games, but this game is certainly a force to be reckoned with. The gameplay and combat is very smooth and engaging and I'm actually kind of sad that I seem to have exhausted everything this game has to offer.

The worldbuilding is phenomenal and it really feels as if you are indeed a Hogwarts student exploring ancient ruins, going to Hogsmeade for a butterbeer or attending Defence Against the Dark Arts. I think it was a fantastic idea to play as your own character, in a time far away from Harry Potter. This game however did still capture the magical spirit of the wizarding world perfectly. Some of the quests really made me laugh out loud. It was like being transported back in time to when I read the books for the first time...

There were some minor bugs, but thankfully no game-breaking bugs for me. Also, some riddles were a little bit repetitive, but I can look past that, because I've had over 100 hours of fun playing this game.

Thank you so much for making this game, Avalanche!

Revelio. Revelio.

Amazing. Beautiful. Cute.

This game really captures the feeling of being a feline. Feelin' feline today. You can scratch, meow, hide in boxes, and most importantly, throw stuff of shelves and tables! But what it also has is a very intriguing story, that not only really captures my favorite sort of retro cyberpunk feel but also makes you question authority, solve riddles and uncover the truth.

I would recommend this game to almost anyone, honestly, it was one of the best gaming experiences I've had in a while!

Funny. Lighthearted. LGBTQIA+ friendly. Everything I love in a game and more! I played it 2019 at gamescom and I liked it then, I love it now. The gameplay improved a lot, die weapons all feel very distinct when playing with them and have cool skill trees, the story is fun even though a little bit obvious but engaging nonetheless. If you like dungeons & dating simulators, this is the game for you!

Good fun for a few hours and really captures the feel of the books for me. The puzzles were a mix from easy to difficult and I spent some time figuring them out, but thankfully nothing was impossible.

I rather enjoyed my time, even though sometimes the graphics were a bit weird, but considering it's a small studio and from 2012 I wouldn't hold it against them. The controls where really intuitive for me, easy to learn and not complicated at all and I enjoyed being able to switch the perspective if needed. And, I loved Toby the dog! :D

note: The game also has some mild performance issues (don't even try playing this game in fullscreen mode) but I didn't have any major issues except having to play in windowed mode unless I wanted it to crash when trying to save. Other than that, pick it up in a sale and you won't regret it!

This "Life is Strange"-esque exploration game offers you a story in a Walking Simulator, almost as if you took one room from the game and just stayed there. It offers an intriguing story that you can explore to its fullest, or not, just like with any of these games. I like looking at every object and listening to all the dialogue but obviously not everyone does.

It's short and sweet and I would highly recommend it, if you have half an hour to spare and nothing else to do, just really enjoy Walking Simulators or always wanted to read someone else's diary.

I adored every minute of this game and would recommend it to anyone, even if you're a casual gamer. It's fun to play with a group, who all get to decide, or just by yourself for the story.

The gameplay is simple but capturing and ever so slightly evolving. If you like Joker or anything associated with the character, this is a must-play for you as well. All in all, I enjoyed every second and you will probably get a good 10 hours out of the game. I spent some more time because I restarted one episode (that was my fault though, picked an option I didn't like).

I'm a huge Batman fan and I own every single game about him (except the LEGO one), so this was a given for me. But it could be a given for anyone. It's short and sweet and funny but also painful, tragic and brutal. Begin your slow descend into the Batcave!

This truly is a Final Fantasy for fans and first-timers, so the great thing is, even if you never played any Final Fantasy game in your life nor are you planning on ever playing one after that, you will still enjoy it. I spent about 85 hours playing this game and just got through the main quest and all the side quests (+ hunts). No bonus episodes or online gameplay yet.

The story and the characters really make the game for me. The dialogue is great as well as the voice acting. I became truly invested in the story and even the characters I didn't like where their own piece of art. If we're talking graphics here, the game is F-ing gorgeous.

I'm not so sure if I enjoyed the grinding aspect that much, but that being said you really don't have to do any of that. Some things were a bit confusing and sometimes you don't immediately get what you're supposed to do, but those are few and in between.

Personally, I started playing it in "Hard" mode but ultimately changed that back to "Normal" after realising that this would probably add just more hours to the game. Some of these bosses are no jokes and some of the normal enemies aren't either. They just get more annoying in "Hard" mode in my opinion, not more interesting.

All I can say now is... Thank you so much for this game. I loved Noctis. I loved Prompto. I loved Ignis. And I loved Gladio. Damn it, I loved this game! You guys... Are the best.
