Generally, it's quite an enjoyable game. However, not without problems.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is not a new game, but still it can be fun. Slashing through your opponent's body and dismembering arms or heads is brutal and visually pleasing (is something wrong with me?), yet, it wasn't enough for me to stick with the game for a long time. There are different game modes and many maps, but they're rather small. There are class upgrades, but for most of the visual ones you have to pay in a form of microtransactions. Fortunately, there's no pay to win scheme, so everybody's equal (except for those who use those nasty spinning tricks!). Nevertheless, it gets a bit boring with time, and I don't see any reason to play it anymore. It was fun though.

I recommend it if you want to experience some brutal medieval multiplayer FPP action game.

That's it, now seriously (though me words were serious before as well). I have never been into visual novels, but this one is kind of game changer(ahaha~).

You will need up to around 8 hours to play through the whole story, assuming it's your first playthrough. The first half of the game does not indicate anything what comes next. It ends when you see the end credits, and you will have to continue playing even when you think something's broken. It is a part of the plot. Just don't read anything more about Doki Doki. Join it and see for yourself how great experience it is to be here!

There are two definitive and several fake endings you are able to get. And tons of secrets to discover which are left to your interpretation. Keep an eye on the game's folder if you're willing to do so, even while you're playing. I found fullscreen mode rather more immersive though, so it's up to you.


EDIT: I completed the game entirely (no spoilers) with all the dialogues, scenes, choices and endings and it was totally worth it. My heart will always remember the Literature Club. Despite the fact that it left me with tormented soul.

A half-hour easy and nice game, which could be an introduction to a full-length title.

There is really not much to tell about "What Never Was". It's a free, well-designed and very short game you can complete on a coffee break. It has potential for a mystery-and-puzzle-driven bigger game.

If you're intrigued, just try it.

A short and pretty nice but basic story. You will be able to finish it in an hour or so.

I've got not much to write about the game. I liked it, and I think it would be quite cool if Marie's Room was some kind of a demo or intro to a bigger, more complex story-based exploration-and-interaction title. It has a well done and kind of cute environment with a little drama story, although I expected something more from it. Nevertheless, everything in Marie's Room feels to be in place.

Worth playing, especially that it is a free and pleasant experience.

I decided to leave these few words here after finally going through all of the commentary nodes found in this most complete version of Dear Esther. Since I saw I had only one achievement missing to make it 100% I found myself willing to go through this journey again, but this time with developers' thoughts. And they appeared to be really interesting, shedding light on some points and aspects of the game I had difficulties to interpret before.

If you are open-minded person, willing to commit yourself to take a two-hour walk and to immerse in something beautiful, poetic, sad but also comforting at the same time I highly recommend to grab some hot beverage in the evening, sit down with headphones and start this extraordinary title which originated one of my favourite video game genres. Within its unique atmosphere, neatly crafted environment, very good voice-over and finely written music one can find many metaphors and questions. It's about life, death, getting over, acceptance. Whether you are a person who wants to experience a slow and peaceful journey or to just get away from AAA titles and try something different, you should launch Dear Esther.

I recommend it with whole my heart.

An extraordinary title that, in its convention of slow exploration of pieces of plot through interaction with objects and reading letters, magazines, newspapers, diaries or listening to recordings, draws the player into a mysterious, and, as it turns out, very human story.

That's what charmed me. One does not need graphics straight from CryEngine, a huge world with lots of markers or a crazy plot to make a game engaging and moving. The entire audiovisual setting (music is just great) reflecting the atmosphere of the 90s with the sounds of a restless storm outside the house or the creaking of old boards every now and then creates an amazing atmosphere and in spite of the lack of typical horror elements you can sometimes feel anxious when the bulb in the basement blinks.

Recommend if you want to get away from AAA titles for a while and experience something quite different.

I recommend strongly. If someone has not had the opportunity to play this iconic representative of FPS genre, I certainly encourage to do so.

Despite outdated graphics, the game is absolutely great because all other elements work as they should - which is great. The journey through the Black Mesa keeps you in suspense, and this feeling does not leave us after the subtitles. We feel unsatisfied. But it doesn't matter... Why? Because the sequel is waiting for us, better in every way.

Just my two pennies' worth.
