There's no other way to say it - Factorio is one the most inventive, innovative and engrossing games ever made. That will come off to anyone who hasn't played the game as a hyperbole but Factorio is truly worthy of the title as one of the best games of all time. I have never played another game that delivers such an overwhelming sense of achievement and satisfaction so often and consistently throughout every stage of gameplay. Factorio aims for the impossibly fine line between complexity, depth and enjoyment and hits the mark with stunning precision.

My only recommendation about playing this game is not to look up any guides or designs by other people, as the sense of discovery is one of this game's strongest aspects. After playing Factorio, you will yearn to experience that sense of wonder and accomplishment when you got your first production line running. You will struggle to find words to explain to your friends why you know they'll enjoy it. You absolutely deserve it yourself to play Factorio.

For anyone remotely interested in adventure, crafting, building or exploration games, terraria offers an extremely large bredth of content for a very surprisingly low price. With several massive free expansive pactches already released and one still to come it makes sense to try out Terraria which you can easily sink many dozens, if not hundreds of hours into. Can't reccomend enough!

Great little game. Doesn't outstay its welcome and provides lots of interesting battle mechanics throughout its storyline. Absolutely stunning artstyle too! Would reccomend.

Evolve is a game that gets very repetitive and is entirely dependant on the skill levels of players you play with. More often than not you'll be spending a majority of your time running to keep up with the monster. It is not fun unless you play with friends or are matched-up with good players who communicate. You shouldn't be looking to purchase this unless you have friends, clan or group who you're sure will play this game a lot. And unless you play against a competent set of hunters when playing the monster it'll be easy to keep them on a wild goose chase; I actually felt bad keeping them running because they weren't able to actually play. It doesn't take many of these poor games to put a bad taste in your mouth. Seriously, this game will get boring very quickly. The game attempts to keep you playing by making the progression system extremely slow. It is discouraging to play very well only to have your progress bars fill by a tiny fraction.

These problems would be easy to overlook but unfortunately the price is far too step for what Evolve offers. This is a fully priced £35 game that expects you to pay £47 or even £59 for the complete experience through DLC or game bundles. Absolutely outrageous. This is a multi-player only game that can't even guarantee a good experience for every match you participate in. 2K is out-right attempting to milk you for your cash by selling you content locked out of the game YOU DOWNLOAD. Much of that content is locked away behind a purposely extremely grindy unlock system designed to make you pay to skip it. If evolve cost less-than-half or half of its original price with all of the launch content bundled in it would certainly be a game you should give a go. You could wait for a heavily-discounted price when it goes on sale but by that point the multi-player community will be much smaller than it is now.

Evolve's risky bet on asymmetric game play is admirable but is unfortunately ruined by a number of artificial factors.
