Great and reliable software. Using it on PC and Laptop since 2016.
Useful "after capture" options like image editing, drawing/adding text and uploading images/gifs online.
I probably don't utilize all its options, but I am very satisfied.

Really fun game to play with a friend.

It is really unfortunate that both parties need to get on the EA launcher as I am planning to play this game a few more times with different friends who lack gaming experience and having this obstacle of registering and installing multiple programs can be a cause to put them off the idea of trying it out with me.

Game is beautiful and interesting. Different worlds, maps (house, snow, tree, bee hive, space, playground...), weapons and tools (guns, rockets, goo, hammers, magic, swords, time travel device, cloning device, shrinking device...), mechanics (flying, riding, sliding, gliding, swimming, ropes, elevators, climbing, switching between 3d/"2d" perspectives, etc-etc...) and characters are pretty and cool to look at and play, it is not an open-game and there is really not any of wandering about and discovering the world, but the linear progression is done great.

Puzzles are not always so straight-forward and it is fun thinking them over with a partner, boss fights can be challenging, when finally winning they do reward with a great sense of accomplishment. Mini-games are o-kay, but with a competitive partner anything can be real fun.

The main story and dialogues do at times feel forced as some people here already mentioned... mainly out-of-place arguing and immaturity that any game-time stuck as two dolls would not fix. but it still is funny.

Another thing I really enjoy are the many opportunities you have to annoy your partner.

I do feel like the next time I play this game I will have to deliberately not rush things, as every run is the same and I still remember how to solve stuff, and just more enjoy my partner's enjoyment and triumphs... I hope I do forget enough until then.

Fable - The Lost Chapters is a great nostalgic game– it is dated but still very playable for me and I have spent many hours in it, and will again in the future– not like the Anniversary.

Main menu is laggy and has visual bugs, ex. blocks turning into green screens.

Camera feels weird, like a very unoptimized bad PC port. Jittery and jumpy. It is soooo baaaad, I wish I never even tried to move my mouse in the first place.

NPCs are buggy: sometimes completely stuck in place, moving their mouth when another NPC is talking, some NPCs I can move by walking into them and make them slide on the ground.

This "Anniversary" is horrible, nauseating and disrespectful to the original game that as old as it is– feels much better than this. Not sure how the reviews are "very positive".

This game can really be great but how it handles the economy system is its downfall.

I would keep playing if not for the random losing screens out of no where and with no explanation– just wasting my whole campaign and time, doesn't matter if I am losing money or super-rich, still pops up and ruins everything.

Everything else is actually good and I have enjoyed it very much.

If I had a dime for everytime Spidey told me how much he hates drugs...

I like the combat and grinding dungeons can be fun. The PVP experience mostly depends on which team got the most OP players and not on each individual's performance– sometimes spending more than an hour just to finish the daily fight (need to get to atleast second place once). I wish we had more free mounts to grind for like WoW. Crafting system is simple and easy to understand.

As long as I don't pay for ESO+ most of the gameplay is basically backpack managing, which is stressful and not fun. A lot of content is also behind pay-walls (DLCs).

I recommend it as it has and keeps giving me many hours of enjoyment for a good price.

What I look for in an idling game is a game that compliments my other daily activities, mainly keeping focus on studying— this game does the job. Playing for a month now and there is still much to do. Progressing is fun and rewarding. The game is not p2w and I do not feel encouraged to pay real money to achieve anything more than given for free (and time). Not a complete time waster— good to run in the background and check once in a while.

At this point I would already stop playing most idle games, probably wake up one day and just feel like its useless opening the game anymore. Not with this game, not yet.

I will say I have tried and played a lot of idling games before, compared to some other great/popular titles in the genre, this game is quite shallow. The mechanics are super-simple and it is probably not so much for the hardcore min/max players out there... I personally prefer it that way, but eventually this lack of depth will probably be the reason i quit in the end– while it could have kept me longer by revealing more advanced sides to explore **Due to the game currently being in "Early-access" this is reasonable and I would love to see what comes next.

Also, while the game is not p2w or pay-to-enjoy... the prices in the soul shop are steep and I do not see how someone will be willing to pay them if not for supporting the developer(s).

Chicken Invaders 1 is one of the first video-games I have ever played.

It's great to see that the basic foundation that made me love the first game still exists, although I would still prefer the old graphics. It seems there are much more mechanics, and creativity, added over that great foundation that I am still yet to discover– but I still can say that everything beside what I already have seen is a bonus.

Game is short (~5h), and maybe I like it more than it deserves for nostalgia's sake ("more of the same"), but you can actually check out 'Chicken Invaders Universe' for free to see if it is for you.

In my opinion this game is cheap enough anyways...

Playing Kiwi Ninja games for years now. Returned to this game because I was searching for a game I could play on half a screen while I am studying or watching Youtube videos on the other.

The game seems pretty dead, to be honest– I don't get any attacks incoming to my city, every attack I send is not being fend off, but waited for 24 hours to when I receive my passive rewards. There is always one guy leading in contested territory that none can beat...

So what left is repeating the same maps over and over again, just like you would do in BTD 5, but with even less feeling of progress, as when you reach a high enough level(which is not high at all- took me a week), you have no goals or interesting dailies ahead of you.

SO WHY DO I RECOMMEND THIS GAME? well, I couldn't find any alternative for now...

Playing this game on/off for years now, a good game to wast... spend your time on.
Can get very intensive. Funny with friends. I 90% of the time lose for my bad decision making, got a lot more to learn.
