I like this game, very Sci-Fi, quite chaotic, but nice. I especially love design of weapons, turrets etc. It's awesome

Drawing parallels to Battlefield for its massive multiplayer battles, PlanetSide 2 offers superior scale and ambition. However, it lacks the narrative depth found in titles like Halo.

Fun game, but new comers beware. The population on this game is severely low. All that's left are the pros. This is a great game, but it's not for newbies. It's better to find something newer. A game with a heavier population so there will be more people around that skill level. There's only frustration here with this game.

Super realistic and hardcore game that, unlike Call of Duty, shows the true nature of war, where you either get knocked down or killed with one single bullet from any weapon. The lack of a single player campaign is a bit disappointing, at least they should have kept the single player briefings as a bonus material, but it's not critical. Strongly recommend to purchase on sale even though the game's almost 15 years old

Killing Floor is a first person shooter, where you run around killing hordes of zombies and various other mutated creatures.

The mutants include one which looks just like the Boomer (of the "special infected" class of characters) from Left 4 Dead, and another which acts in a similar fashion to the Hunter from L4D.

However, Left 4 Dead came out in 2008, and Killing Floor was released as an Unreal Tournament mod in 2005 (prior to its retail release in 2009), so there is a time cross-over - it would be interesting to know which of the games included the Boomer-style character class first.

Killing Floor is a bit of shooting fun, so - if you are into FPS games - try it out!

You are able to spam conscripts and send them straight to the German machine gun line. They will also never retreat which is extremely historical accurate. Being able to equip engineers with flamethrowers definitely broke the Geneva convection but who cares about that anyways, it more of a guideline then an actual rule.

When I first played it through I thought it was mostly a "story game" a la Gone Home, but your choices do matter and you can alter the course of events significantly depending on what you do and don't do - often more the latter than the former. Well crafted; I enjoyed digging through the story bits and world building.

Worth your time, I think, although if you're one of those people who looks at games as a cost-per-hour thing you might want to hold off for a sale. (I did, so no judgment.)

A must-have mod for Portal 2.

The attention to detail and finish is so well-done it could have been made by Valve themselves.
Instead is a complete, story-driven, voice-acted free prequel to Portal 2.

The only downside to it is that the difficulty bar is set very high.
Some more clues, alternative ways to solves puzzles and some introductory levels that would first introduce the player to a concept that would be used in the next levels so you knew what to expect would have been appreciated.

This might be one of the few shooter games where killing an enemy puts me at unease.

You play as Martin Walker, commander of Delta Forces, who is on Dubai trying to evacuate the civilians from sandstorm. The 33rd Division went there first, but never returned, so it is up to you to continue their task... or not.

I mispredicted the game would take the usual cliche "rescue mission gone awry because someone screwed it up" - but I was wrong, completely wrong..

With its gripping storytelling, the game it delves to the traumas of war, the ambitiousness of war (that war isn't black and white), and. most importantly, how accustomed we are in murdering faceless people as entertainment. The game started with the usual heroic "we're going to save the day, lads" pro-war stance shooter games usually have, but as you progress, it turned its head to portray how terrible trying to act as an hero can be.

I also like the minor details. In every cut-scenes, you're given options how to deal with conflicts presented. E.g., should you rescue the civilians or an agent? Should you shoot the enemy or let them talk first? Should you shoot that guy, this guy, or... abandon order at all?

The consequence doesn't have major effect, but it opens up different reaction and dialogues. Even the smallest ones like standing in front of your teammates while they are zip-lining. The environment is also rich in details: barricades are destructible, bullet goes through clothes, etc; sometimes giving you different tactics to progress through the levels.

The cons of this game - well, the covering system sometimes doesn't really work well. So sometimes it's kinda difficult to move from one cover to another. But mostly it's not really a problem. Also, the game punish you for running and gunning; it's more tactical shooter like, so if you're coming from Call of Duty or the like, you would need to adapt.

This game has one of the most intense and gripping story I've played since long; I'd say it's fitting to say this game as a war thriller movie bundled as a third person shooter. The game deserves an award for its mind-blowing narrative.

Where war games give you the ultimate feeling of completion, Spec Ops: The Line asked you the grim question, "do you feel like the hero yet?"

Addictive and yet playable in small doses... I have put more time into this game than some larger titles given how immediately accessible it is. It takes time and patience - and a bit of tactical trial and error - to build a sustainable and defensible shelter, but it is easily achievable with a little regular input.

An ideal game to complement your daily coffee-break :7
