Recent reviews by YOUR FATHER'S-PEEK

First off, I highly recommend this game. It's unique.
This review is about my thoughts about the story behind the game and it may inculde some spoilers so you might do not want to read my review if you haven't played and finished the game. Note that the creators of the game, did not give a clear answer to what really happened to that boy and his sister and they wanted us to make our own theories about it. There are a lot of theories and we cannot take one of them as the correct one. Here's what I believe.
Let's begin from the title. Limbo. That's a place where, based on some religions, after people die in real life, their souls go there for an unspecific period of time until God judge them and decide if they deserve to go into heaven or hell. So, by the time that the boy is in the limbo, we clearly understand that he has died.
As the game begins, he wakes up in the middle of a forest looking for her sister. The reason why he is doing that, is because he doesn't understand that he's dead and he believes that he has lost her sister, so she's searching for her. We don't know how he died, but it's possible that he fell from their treehouse because his sister is kneeling in the last scene and there's a rope ladder besides her. Each area of the game represents his life. Starts off in a mysterious forest with spiders being his fear that he tries to overcome. Next "level" is the school life with other kids who were bullying the homeless guy. He then had a traveling job, traveling and living in motels and hotels and getting to new places and he eventually end up working in a factory. I also believe that the light worms that stick to his head represent the community who wants to control his brain and make him unable to reach his final destination. You continue the game passing through many obstacles just like you do in real life before you reach your purpose.
In the end, he eventually finds his "missing" sister and sees her kneeling. The scene is not clear enough, but I believe that she was crying about his death and praying for him. Her sister doesn't turn around to greet him but she feels the presence of his soul and that's why she somehow gets upset. In that moment, the boy finds out that he's dead as he approaches his sister and the game ends abruptly.
As I already said, there are a lot of theories that we can imagine and seem to "fit", but we don't really know what happened. That's all I believe, even if my theory has some flaws (didn't mention the Glass part).

Phantoml0rd taught me this one.

This game made me buy a new controller.

Lucius was born on the June 6th, 1966 and he was just a regular boy until his 6th birthday, when his true identity was revealed by his true father, Lucifer who instructed Lucius to orcastrate the deaths of the mansion's residents without anyone suspecting him, granting Lucius supernatural powers as he succeeds.
The concept is interesting, the graphics and soundtrack are quite good, the gameplay is great and the story is intriguing.
Despite all the controversy surrounding this game for obvious reasons, I still recommend it.

I suggest you to save your money for something else. This game is terrible. Although i usually like to play Hack'n'Slash games, this one disappointed me. It doesn't support all the controllers and the buttons are many so it's hard to play with your hands at keyboard. It has AWFUL camera, also when you try to move around it takes a lot of time. Not a great story at all with annoying unskippable cutscenes. There are too many cinematics and dialogues. Also, The game crashes sometimes and every time i use alt-tab. The Boss fights are tedious and unfair with nearly undodgable attacks. Bosses' health is always a lot more than yours, you do little damage and they are very strong. Finally, i found the combat system poor. I will refound it if it's possible. This game is not what i expected to be and it was disappointing.

Nothing but BRUTAL!

unplayable.

Darksiders 2 is an awesome hack'n'slash game.
First of all, it is waaay better than DS1. Almost everything is improved; music, gameplay, graphics++

Pros:

+ Solid hack'n'slash games' mechanics and combos.
+ A variety of creative and interesting enemies and bosses.
+ Few RPG elements.
+ Tons of collectibles and unlockable abilities and bonuses.
+ Spectacular and stunning enviroment and landscapes.
+ Flawless soundtrack and ambient music.
+ Voice-acting is pretty well-made.
+ Motivating steam achievements.

Cons:

- Shallow story, relying on endless quests.
- Textures' and other game's glitches/bugs, especially in the 14th chapter ("Earth").
- Supports only XBOX controller.
- Easy defeatable bosses. Except Samael who was getting on my nerves.

After playing the previous Batman series, I think that Arkham Origins is disappointing.

Lets begin with the Pros:
First of all, i should say that the story line is very good and there are some great moments too. The gameplay is brutal, fun and challenging some times. I also think that there is an improvement to Boss Fights. Regarding the Voice Acting, it's a good try by all actors (Troy Baker as Joker, Roger Craig Smith as Batman etc). Finally, the amount of side missions is Substantial.

And now let's turn to the Cons:
Glitches, Glitches ... Glitches..., did I mention GLITCHES?! The biggest problem of this game is the glitches/bugs and the technical issues because they are just so many! Apart from this, Akrham Origins is exactly a copy-paste of Arkham City. It got the same map and nothing new added (+things like gadgets, mission types etc). Also, there are not many Riddles and Challenges.

I would only recommend this game to the fans of DC Comics/Batman Series because they will like it. If this is a new "experience" for you, I'd recommend you not to buy this game (especially in full-price).

Overall Rating: 7/10.

A waste of money. Would buy again.
