Slant community chat on DiscoursePro Lets you roleplay matrix-like battles
The coolest thing about this mechanic is it essentially lets you role play matrix-like battles with you dodging bullets, slicing bullets out of mid-air with a katana and an assortment of other badass things to do.
Pro Awesome time-based mechanic
In Superhot time only goes forward when you move. This turns the gameplay into something closer to a puzzle game as you need to be very calculated with every move you make.
Pro Minimalistic yet beneficial art style
The art style in the game is very cool and minimalistic while actually serving to make the game easier to understand and play. The gameplay in Superhot relies on you being able to react properly to your environment, and the art choices make it really easy to understand what is going on around you.
Pro Non-lethal options aren't always better
One weakness of most stealth games is that it's almost always better to play nonlethally. In Dishonored, choosing the nonlethal option on an assassination target is often a fate worse than death. For instance, one woman can be delivered to her secret stalker, the overseer of the anti-magic chur...
Pro The world (and difficulty) changes based on your actions
Depending on player action, the world can change in drastic ways. A violent player will find that disease-carrying rats will multiply in number depending on the number of people killed, while a pacifist player who eliminates enemies with nonlethal options may will find the world easier to explore.
Con It doesn't rely on sound or light as a means of stealth
Dishonored clearly borrows a lot of elements from Thief, but sadly, not its ancestor's most important traits. Where Thief cared about the materials you walked on, and had guards that would vocalize constantly to let players know where they were, Dishonored merely relies on whether or not a play...
Pro Exhilarating gameplay that makes you and your friends feel like you are part of a Michael Mann movie
This game is like the bank heist scene from Heat.
Pro New content is added regularly, making sure the game stays fresh and updated for everyone
New DLCs are released regularly, which give old players something new to do as well as keeps the game enticing in order to attract new players.
Pro Cooperation based gameplay makes sure no single player is more important than any other
Your crew needs to bring specific equipment and weapons in order to stay out of sight or improve everyones chances in a gunfight. You also need to pay attention to your crew's health and ammo. This creates a situation where each team member heavily relies on the rest in order to succeed.
Controller SupportFullGenreFPS / Action / HeistCo-Op4 Player Online
Payday 2 is a team-based first person shooter and strategy game, where players are tasked with performing all sorts of criminal activities (such as robbing banks and robbing stores) in order to gain as much loot and money as possible.
Pro Excellent, ultraviolent close combat
The overhead view allows the player to see much of the level in order to plan how to attack each situation, in violent and gory aplomb.
Pro Unique, neon-soaked art style and surrealist, gritty story
Playing off of themes seen in movies like Scarface, Hotline Miami features a crazy violent story the exudes a very 80s feel.
Pro Great, tense soundtrack
The soundtrack has a very 80s electro flare to it that helps flesh out the feel of the game and it's violent story.
Pro Fun and well designed melee combat
Melee combat has been done in the past in FPS games, but SW2 pulls off this combat exceedingly well. Not only is if fun to run and gun in the game but it is even more fun to run around with a sword (or many of the other crazy melee weapons) hacking up demons. The melee combat feels intuitive and sm...
Pro Unique experience for each player of the game
Every level is procedurally generated with random spawning enemies, this allows for each level of the game to play out differently for every person playing. While the assets will be mostly the same as well as the enemies, the placement of them will be different, which makes for a lot of good replay...
