Slant community chat on DiscoursePro Simplified MOBA gameplay
Awesomenauts works as distilled down gameplay of a regular MOBA and is played on a 2d side scrolling plane. This has made it easier to be played on consoles as well as for first time MOBA players.
Con Dead community
Compared to most, this game's community is mostly dead. If you want to play a match, you'll have to beg your steam friends to join a game. The game's creators even went so far as to give away thousands of copies of the base game away for free some months ago. But people have given up...
Pro Like most MOBA games, Awesomenauts is deeply tactical
Awesomenauts is a very tactical game that will take time to learn all of it's nuances, with enough time and patience though the game pays out with plenty of fun to be had.
Pro Thousands of user-created levels
The game has a built-in level editor, and levels (or level packs) can be shared through Steam Workshop.
Pro Well thought out presentation
From the witty humor, enjoyable songs or the theater cutscenes, BattleBlock shows a high level of consideration for its design.
Pro Well balanced difficulty curve
The difficulty curve for Battle Block Theater is so evenly programmed that the player will barely notice that it is progressively getting more difficult. It really does a swell job of integrating the player to where they can handle any challenge the game throws at them.
Battle Block Theater is a puzzle adventure game that can be played single player as well as co-op or PVP that costs $14.99. The core gameplay consists of 2D puzzle platforming where the player must collect gems in a level and then reach the exit. For what sounds simple enough can at times be excruciatingly difficult.
Pro Individualistic levels
Each level in the game has its own look and design which can keep the gameplay varied thanks to creating a need to explore in order to see what comes next. Ranging from deserts to ice filler terrain, there is no level that looks the same.
Pro Gameplay with a sense of humour
There are several jokes and silly moments throughout the game. All done without speaking any word. This keeps the game lighthearted and amusing thanks to the humor of the creators and how they infused it into the game itself.
Con Fair amount of grinding
There is a good amount of grinding that will need to take place for players to be able to advance past certain bosses.
Pro Fills a niche of a more realistic rally simulation
The developer Codemasters has created many rally racing games but are striving to make this the most simulation based title out of all of their releases. This is very welcome as there have not been many Rally simulation games released in the past from Codemasters or any other developers.
Pro Realistic sound design
Hearing rocks ping the chassis as you race or the frame whine with rough landscapes makes for a real life racing experience that matches what it actually sounds like when racing this type of terrain.
Pro Immersive story
The dialogue of the game is very intriguing as well as voiced superbly making for a very immersive experience as far as story is concerned. It is through the care the developers took to implement such realistic writing and voice work that makes the game so intriguing and an experience to play.
Con Story feels like a chore
Most quests feel like a chore in that it is basically fetch quests in exchange for information to advance the story. While this is often a mechanic found in games to keep the gameplay long it does get tiresome.
Pro Gigantic openworld
Deviating from the previous two games Wild Hunt now has open world environments that are so large and detailed it can be intimidating. In comparison to other open-world games such as Skyrim the open World in The Witcher 3 is 3.5 time larger, in comparison the GTA5 The Witcher 3 is 1.5 times larger.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an open-world action adventure game that is controlled in the third person created by CD Project Red. The gameplay consists of action role playing elements where the player journeys through a vast world leveling up their character and his equipment in order to progress the storyline.
Pro Clear objective
Get the ball in the net! Soccer at it's simplest, this game is physics driven using different cars as players, making it a fast-paced and exciting game.
Pro Simple controls
Whether you use a controller or keyboard and mouse, the controls are fairly simple. You are driving a car pushing a ball around, with forward, reverse, boost, power-slide and jump as your only real abilities to learn. The difficulty comes in learning to use these abilities to perform in air and...
Pro Customizable cars
With DLC there are quite a few cars to choose from, including the Delorian from Back to the future. Create a custom car by choosing paint scheme, color, paint type(gloss/flat, ect.) wheels, boost color, hat and antenna toppers. Countless possibilities, with more to come.
Con Somewhat simplistic puzzles
The game includes mostly physics based puzzles, but they're not particularly challenging.
Pro 3-player local and online co-op
The game can be played cooperatively with each player taking control of one of the three characters - thief, wizard and warrior.
Pro Has single-player and local co-op game modes
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has a single player campaign as well as a 2 player co-op game mode
Pro Addictive
With an arcade style feel and fairly quick play through the game makes it easy to sit down and play for hours.
Con Lacks mouse support
No mouse support is a very odd exclusion for a PC title, especially when it is an expected and natural control method for this type of game.
Pro Improved graphics over every other version
The PC version of GTA V is the optimal experience when it comes to graphic quality. Improved lighting and anti-aliasing make a big difference over the games XBox One and PS4 counterparts.
Con Population density slider in the options does not make much of a difference
The population density option in the PC version does not make much of a difference in the game, while it does have more people and cars than the console counterparts, the increased number is not by much.
Con Forced Rockstar Social Club online registration DRM scheme
Rockstar Social Club is a forced online registration and DRM platform that will not allow one to play the game without first logging in to it. No internet connection, no play. Forget the password to the account three times, get locked out. All hindrances to paying customers that in no way will stop
Pro Looks amazing
The graphics are 3d rendered with vibrant colors and a pleasing cartoon like graphics that give a real sense of the fantasy world they are meant to illustrate.
Pro It's challenging and fun
Each playable character has their own abilities and features that you must use in order to solve puzzles, platform, and battle to beat each level.
Con Co-op not as good as single player
Though there is support for local co-op the game feels as though it works best as a single player title.
