Another great game that was originally PS only. Keep the ports coming.

I have to get back into this. I played the standalone but haven't really played much of the Steam version. Will update when I have more steam time under my belt.

I hope PlayStation continues to port their exclusives to PC. Game is a blast. The story is engaging, game-play is fun and still challenging. It isn't perfect, but nothing is. Just an overall enjoyable experience. Can't wait for more PC ports from PS.

You're a delivery driver. Sounds boring. Somehow its not. Voice acting isn't great in my opinion but it gets the job done. I like the visuals. They just released an update where you can drive/fly in 1st person instead of the default 3rd person view. When they get this in VR, this will be amazing. I recommend as a nice casual experience.

I'm not a fan of early access games. Having said that, this game is fantastic, even in its current state. It's polished and completely playable. The devs issue patches constantly, I mean constantly, often times multiple times a week. The graphics are beautifully unique and give off a graphic novel vibe. The voice acting is awesome. The mechanics are implemented well and really fun. Stress, quirks, lighting, afflictions, and others really make the game both challenging and a lot of fun. The gameplay is deep and rewarding. Of course, the RNG gods are at play, so like pretty much any rogue-like, you will sometimes want to put your fist through your monitor. But, it seems pretty fair overall and the more I play, I feel like skill and party composition does actually play a large role in success as apposed to blind luck and randomness. Well worth the $19.99 price tag even during early access.

This is my most played game. What can I say? I just killed 2 of my grandson's and my son, so that my second eldest son would inherit the thrones of Absynnia and Nubia. My selected heir has taken the throne and I've decided to try and declare a holy war against my Sunni neighbors to the north who are involved in a huge civil war. A big mistake, I've miscalculated. My levies, along with my Vassal's and a regiment of mercenaries are overun by superior numbers as we tried to siege their stronghold. We're forced to retreat. I sue for a white peace. Luckily, thier own civil war pushes them to accept. It is costly, my prestige takes a hit with the added insult of losing half my coffers in the treaty. My armies now lay in tatters. Time to lick my wounds and take lesson from my hastily planned attack. Next time I will be properly prepared. Next time, victory will be mine.

edit: The avalanche of Paradox DLC can be overwhelming. Still love CK2 though.
edit2: Can't wait for CK3 in 2020.

I'm a complete novice. Been using Rocksmith 2014 to learn bass. Its been a blast. Seems to be a really solid teachng tool. It's only been about a week, but I've learned a ton and am noticeably better. You take it at your own pace. Do some lessons, hop over and try playing a song (which you level up, meaning it gets harder, based on how well you play it). Want to work on technique, try some of their arcade style video games that help re-inforce what you're learning. And there's so much more, but if you are looking to learn to play or improve, this "game" is for you.

A quality 4X title. The UI is so slick and polished that I'm compelled to mention it. Combat is interesting, in that it uses a card system and then a cinematic that plays out the results. Some people will love it, others will hate it. So far, I am enjoying it. Tech and research are pretty deep, but I feel like it is a bit unfocused and somewhat random. A very minor detail. If the developers keep their promise and continues to add content and provide patches/improvements, this game will be a classic in the genre.

An incredible game. Best Elder Scrolls title yet.

Unappreciated RPG. Enjoyable action packed combat. It's not perfect, but it sure is fun. With 60+ hours of gameplay.
