Satisfying combat, get on sale

As the threads of plot weave further with every chapter, you not only solve individual scenes, but make a tapestry of a flawed world and flawed people who come upon a great power.

It good

It make 3D do thing

The premium VR experience at the moment

A fun romp around the world of Runeterra. Fans of turn based RPGs have an interesting take on the genre to experience, and people interested in the League of Legends universe get to enjoy some silly, but well thought out interactions between some iconic characters, while exploring fabled locations for the first time.

I've played hours upon hours of Gloomhaven on TTS without having to spend a dollar! In fact this made me love Gloomhaven so much I went out and bought a physical copy of it...hey wait a second

I feel Frictional may have bitten off more than they can chew with this title. As a big fan of their previous games I was expecting "more of the same" but with perhaps better graphics, storytelling etc. This Amnesia : Rebirth is not.

The more ambitious setting and narrative ends disappointing because the moment to moment suffers from a thinly stretched development team trying to piece together an emotional story which simple doesn't do a good job of connecting. At absolutely no point did I feel like I'm playing as pregnant woman in her 30s. Closer to reality was a bodybuilder with a severe fear of the dark and a beer belly. The enemy AI is so forgiving/bad that I really have no clue what the enemies in the game even look like despite finishing a large chunk of the game.

At first I though this was another case of "The SOMA" where Frictional really just wanted to tell an interesting story, but could only do so through the lens of horror, but the deeper I got the less interested I became. The puzzles, enemies and environments just didn't click.

I was fully willing to finish the game and see for myself if there's a good payoff/twist/explanation waiting for me, sadly halfway-ish through the game (in a big puzzle room with three pillars) walking next to a hole in the wall glitched me inside of it and I became stuck. I tried to restart the game however I was saved inside that wall and I had to restart the game from the beginning.

Not bruh moment game

An excellent detective game which actually relies on deduction rather than guessing.
