any game with a "cut umbilical cord" button prompt is a good game in my book

During my play through of Signalis I used a notepad from my desk drawer to help me remember things that I needed for some of the puzzles. The notepad I used is full of various random things. I pick it up every once in a while and read through it to see if I can remember the context behind what I wrote on certain pages.

In a couple of months I’ll open the notepad out of boredom and I’ll find my page of Signalis notes. It’ll look like a whole bunch of incomprehensible chicken scratch but it’ll fill me with sadness for some reason. I’ll spend the rest of that day thinking about why all those vague abbreviations and random number sequences made me so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sad. I’ll be lost and a bit confused for a while. And then I’ll remember Signalis, and I’ll still feel just as sad and confused as I did before.

This game is good, polished, well-designed. Play it.

The existence of TW3 makes this a decent game instead of a good one. The plot is much more linear and concise, while at the same time being somehow harder to digest than it's successor's. There's more political drama and less high fantasy madness, but it's still satisfying and punchy and high-stakes enough to hold your attention until the end. The gameplay is sort of clunky and dated but the story more than makes up for it.

If you're still interested enough to be reading reviews for this game, then you'll probably have a good time.

One of the greatest pieces of art I've ever consumed, somehow masquerading as a traditional hack n' slash JRPG. This game asks and answers questions so impossibly complex with an equally impossibly measure of elegance.

20% game, 20% existential fever-dream, 60% ASS -- EVERYTHING ANYONE COULD EVER ASK FOR

One of the greatest games I've ever played. You're doing yourself a disservice if you let the arhaic graphics or daunting mechanics turn you off. System Shock 2 presents one of the most immersive, tense experiences I've had in a game and the story is absolutely kick-ass -- Its also really interesting from a historical standpoint, especially if you're a fan of Bioshock or Prey, or really any game in the immersive-sim category.

This game helped lay the foundation for its entire genre and, after playing it, its certainly not hard to see how or why. Play the game insect, play it now.

fun game about collecting ashtrays

This game is absolutely glorious. Completely worth all the money! Please give this game a try! Good job devs!

This is probably the best 20 bucks I have ever spent. Sunset Overdrive is a great game that puts fun before all else. Sure, the PC port is basic, but the game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing!

Absolutely epic conclusion to the series. I enjoyed every second and wish it could've gone on longer. Highly recommend.

The game is good. DO NOT BUY IT. Zero people are playing. What the ♥♥♥♥ happened?! It was so promising... don't waste your money. I want a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ refund.
