Payday 2 offers one of the most original and enjoyable experience since the day I started my gaming life so far.

The 4-men crew and the shadow brain Bain continue to involve in series of heists, each one of them provides us a vary in objectives which is a good tradition since the first. Ranging from stealing cash, gold, jewelry, painting to cooking meth or even "watch the world burn", no heist is the same or repeative. Besides, the random element not just made a come back but also got improved, cameras, civilians and now map layout and guards' route are completely different each time you want to rob or steal something. I highly appreciate this mechanic since it gives us the replayability and above all, you need to plan ahead and patience to carry out the mission like a real criminal.

Teamwork is a must, and of course it would be so much fun if you can play with your friends. Thus, headphone and mic are essential. To complete a heist successfully without ringing any alarm, we need TEAMWORK. Everyone has a role, a Mastermind takes care of guard and cam silently, a Ghost get in and get out undetected and shaped charges, drill and saw from a Tech and a Enforcer leave no safe or vault enclosed. Co-op never been so brilliant and professional like this before.

However, failure is still an option and many subjective and objective aspects could screw up the whole thing up. And here we come the other side of Payday, the assault, and again, the 4-classes system shines one more time. Enforcer works like a suppressor tank, Mastermind distracts and Technician finishes anyone comes close. Meanwhile, Ghost grabs anything he could and rushes for the escape car waiting outside. In theory, yeah. Police is not dumb. They throw anything in order to bring you in custody. Initially, only few cops and FBI, but later on, a battalion of SWAT, Taser and Shield storm in from almost everywhere. And did I mention about the f**king Bulldozer? Luckily, with the limited but still sufficient war gears Payday 2 offering, you may escape.

Reviewing Payday 2 without referring about the soundtrack is the huge mistake. All the EDM in game are so exciting, catchy and really impress me. Like an adrenaline pumping, it makes every assault section becomes a battlefield of dub step and bullet.

Nevertheless, Payday 2 still bugs me about the unlock mechanic. Why you have to unlock the damn hologram optic while you have enough money to buy out the whole company who made them? At least gives us the option to buy things we cant seem to get unlocked.

Verdict: 9,5/10. Trust me, the best weekend is the time when you rob the bank with other 3 friends online.

Never thought RPG and Tower defence genre could have a great cross-bred like this!

Like any other TD games out there, your main mission is prevent any enimies from reaching the party leader standing at the end of the road. The horde which is consist of a few types of zombies, slug-like creatures,... keeps coming in pre-defined routes. In fact, there's nothing quite unique in the mechanic of TD in this game.

However, the true gem lies in the RPG aspect of the game. What's a TD game without towers? Nah, your towers now are replaced by class-based characters ranging from a psychopath to a cute dragon. Many elements of RPG genre are brought into the game like skill tree, equipments and again, classes. Trouble with fast moving creeps, you have an Ice Mage to counter, or facing heavy armor zombies with the might of a Paladin.

Not every maps are so hard, but you still need to grind a little for exp and especially epic items. (well, not really that epic but atleast they have purple titles)

To be honest, you can't expect a long and heart-touching story with dozens of play time for such a small game like this, but for almost 3 hours so far I'm quite satisfied.

Finally, thanks jatan11t/GAR for this lovely gift :)

Definitely the BEST tower-defence game out there!!! Spent almost all of my summer of 2009 into this game and not gonna regret a little bit.

In the gaming industry nowadays, AAA brand new titles is not that many. And stunning awesome AAA brand new titles is extremely rare. Luckily Dishonored is one of them.

Another rogue-like game that I really really enjoy. A lot of surprises and dangers await you in the pit.
JUST BUY IT ALREADY!

For me, this is not a sequel sadly, but a really good expansion for one of the greatest franchise in the gaming history

Personally, I believe The Witcher 2 is an action game settled in the medieval fantasy world with just fair RPG elements added, rather than a sandbox free-roaming RPG that I have expected. The combat is really hard, even on normal, since a low level mob can kill you in 3 hits. Geralt simply can not tank like a Dragonborn or the Grey Warden, and have to rely on his sword, magic, trap, oil, potion,.... but even with that huge arsenal I still find myself reload a lot of times.

But something still keeps me enjoying the game so far, probably the challenge in every each and single fight, or the beauty of a mature and harsh world the dev has created, or even my lovely sweety Triss.

Brand new classes, more monsters, more bosses, more skills, vastly expanded environment, even more epic gears to loot....this is how a sequel should be!

I've played several Total War games before, but Shogun 2 is truly the best. Samurai and Ninja, enough said!

Probably the best city buider game on Steam right now!

Anno 2070 brings you to the near future, when damages caused by natural disasters still persist. Joining one of three factions to rebuild the economics, restore the society and lead mankind to a new utopia.

Top notch, stunning and eye catching graphics makes me enjoy every moment in game, from the isolated wildly islands to the deep blue sea bed. Each construction, each building is polished with futuristic theme but still well distincted between factions.

The campaign itself is a big and story-driven tutorial that I also highly evaluate. However, you may feel overwhelming and hard to grasp at first, but only when you overcome it, you will definitely immerse in the world Anno create as I do. Innovating gameplay and helpful AI secretary are, again, the plus point.

I may not play that many city-sim kind of game, but I ensure that Anno 2070 is one of the best.
