Not the best snow sport experience, but is still a really good one, with lots of locations and solid gameplay design.

Great mechanic of observing your surroundings and finding things down to the smallest detail, with very engaging story telling.

Here's the thing. It's designed like a Far Cry game, with its outposts and landmarks that unlock fast travel and new stuff. But it's more bare bones than Far Cry. It's meant to be more of an experience. Combat is flashy and intense, with other NPCs joining the battle as fights happen all over the map immersive sim-style. But a lot of what you're doing is just exploring the world, learning the lore in your own time instead of shoving it in your face (they even made a lore book PDF with the game), and just soaking in everything in its amazing art direction that feels like concept art. The underground sections can get annoying, and having no vehicles can feel like a drag sometimes. But when you see what they've achieved, it's pretty hard not to be wowed. I feel "The Signal From Tolva: The Best Game Ever" by Cool Ghosts explains best what makes it so solid.

At launch it was a mess. Now, after TONS of patches, some new mods added for free, and several high quality story DLCs, it's a solid experience. FANTASTIC writing, amazing atmosphere/setting, interesting and intense gameplay, with lots of customization to tweak it to how you want to play. Not to mention the amazing side quests you can find yourself in. Takes some time learning how things work, but it's well worth full price, if you can't wait for a sale.

A walking sim, but is saved with its amazing atmosphere/art direction, and excellent story telling and music.

Fun and fast, but LOTS of trail and error. Also doesn't save where you respawn, so don't close the game before the next REAL checkpoint.

Pros: Solid art direction Great writing (seriously, the notes and emails are some of the best parts of the game) Lots of parts to collect and make creatively fun guns. You'd be surprised what you can unlock Plenty of progressing with classes and skills Cons: Weak use of procedural generation for levels Feedback in combat feels weak Can't carry weapons parts with you in unlocks. Always start with base build after dying. Not enough item drops VERY grindy (due to there not being enough item drops, and the price of things) Overall, it's a fun and interesting game, and the devs clearly cared and were proud of what they achieved. But it just needed some quality of life improvements to make the game awesome. And they're basically dead after the failed success of post Early Access P.A.M.E.L.A. (also an interesting and very ambitious game)

It's a walking sim, but a very good one. Lots to explore in an amazing looking cyberpunk world, plenty of side content of characters to meet, you even get to customize an apartment and interact with things. But the best selling point for me is the first person mode. Whether it's walking or driving, you can experience it all in first person, and it feels like it was made for it, yet it was just a post-launch update! Story exhausts its dialogue though, as you will have several moments of stopping your car before parking just to let the long dialogue finally finish, instead of cutting it off. And the car upgrades are sometimes useless, and it will get annoying to constantly stop for gas and repairs. You also don't have unlimited money, unless you exploit things with buying and selling items.

First thing you need to know about it. It's not finished, and it will sadly never be finished. So many cliffhangers. But what's there is a very quirky game full of personality and strange writing that always gets you hooked. SWERY somehow knows how to make anything in a game grab your attention. Whether it's the thought text you get for observing an object/character long enough, or just doing anything around your apartment. There's so much you can easily miss for what is just a 3 episode game.

If you wished we had the beta version of Half Life 2, where it would be far more cyberpunk and dark, this game will deliver. Great atmosphere, surprisingly detailed for the Source engine, decent level design, and interesting world. Combat is rough at times, the story is a little too unfocused/hard to follow, and the colors aren't always a great choice. But you can also customize your visual experience by a lot, and the campaign is FLOODED with all sorts of locations.

Very relaxing and satisfying.

Not worth it, honestly. I really wanted to like it. It has an interesting world, great art direction, and levels that are full of diverging paths with different levels of difficulty for platforming and powers. But it is broken. The freezing of the fans while being chased almost never work, the chapter selection resets its progress all the time, the story is too vague/simple to satisfy, and the performance just dies halfway through the first act.

Simply a game where you experience a train in these atmospheric worlds. Honestly, you should get FICTION #F3F. It's a collection of some of Colorfiction's work, including this game, and they're all pretty cool! Only 5 bucks. I absolutely LOVE Colorfiction's work, and most people don't know about his stuff.

Cute and challenging game. Lots of little charm.

Haven't finished yet, but great atmosphere, decent story telling, but very much a walking sim, which I usually don't mind.

One of the best singleplayer free to play games in my opinion. Great visuals, open world, customization, collectibles, missions that change the world, change in time of day and weather, and a fantastic photo mode. It even has radio and first person. Surprisingly polished for a college project.

It's very janky, but has a lot of soul. Map has decent variety, titans are amazing to look at, atmosphere is very well executed, and the car has lots of features, including music with radio shows. It even has a Halloween chapter, and black-and-white mode! But it's rushed out of early access due to complications. Voice acting is meh, terrain looks rough, animations aren't most polished, and things like the car and locations has aspects that promise use will come, but doesn't. Still highly recommend, especially since it's cheap.

Haven't finished it yet, but it has solid writing, great art direction, and decent combat/challenge.

It's a solid experience, with dense atmosphere a unique theme of escaping with its mechanics of meditating and building luxury homes. But it's hurt by the fact that it's a survival game. Even with predators turned off, like bears and snakes, you will still have to worry about poisoning, freezing, and your survival bars draining. Hard to relax and meditate when your draining meters distract you. Still, I recommend it if you like immersive worlds and decent crafting/building features. And despite its flaws, the meditation feature is still neat in practice, and I like how it says there's no wrong way to meditate.
