Incredible game, full of depth and fun decision-making, plus an unmatched thrill of exploration and a universe of possibilities. A really cool progression and ship-building system makes combat and transit varied, too!

If you like Star Control, or are just a big fan of figuring out hints and tips that lead to some greater reward if you can piece them together, this is a great game for you. The rich lore and story make this game even better, no matter your flavor of choice.

Definitely worth a buy, for so many different reasons.

Really fun game no matter your civ-like play style
Lots to customize or leave as-is, wiggle room for making your own stories, and tons of strategy-adventure fun!

Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who likes turn based strategy civilization building! Especially if you have a love for fantasy settings

A great start by a studio we know and trust

Early access version is not much to call home about, BUT, they've got the foundational elements in place to make a wonderful game on release
I'm definitely looking forward to more

There's a lot of bugs, issues with multiplayer that I've come across, but these devs have earned some respect and confidence from the community with the utterly amazing first game.

If you want a full game, smoothed and polished? Not this one, yet. But if you don't mind following an Early Access game through its development, go ahead and buy

Bungie is engaging in unethical business practices at the fault of their leadership. Do not support, do not buy, and do not encourage them.
They are making a bad name for themselves and for their parent company, Sony
This is the fault of leadership, particularly Pete Parsons, the as-current CEO

Iterated: Do not support, do not buy, and do not engage in monetary transactions in support of Bungie.

A masterpiece of a game with unending care and detail layered into every aspect of gameplay, lore, and world. The utterly unique Nemesis system lets you be involved in story building--making enemies that you remember, that remember you, and that truly react to your actions in the world.
Combine that with a moving story, rich feast of things for Tolkien nerds to enjoy, and a fun gameplay loop, and you have one of the best stealth-action RPGs on the market

Adorable game
And spooky!
And has a dragon

An excellent game with stellar devs that have more than shown a love of their players.
If nothing else, an extremely sandbox for having fun with friends and contributing to a large-scale front--with fun mechanics and great toys to play with, to boot!

Forsaken was an incredible campaign, that captured an ongoing zeitgeist and truly changed Destiny in tone and gameplay

But this campaign is no longer available, nor are most of the content sections that came with it--this product is a glorified dungeon and raid key, with additional exotics.

It is not worth paying for content that does not exist anymore, no matter how much I enjoyed it, and you shouldn't pay anywhere near this amount for it.

Wholeheartedly recommend this game. Not only does it feature a new and interesting puzzle system, but it also allows (and even encourages) a wide variety of ways to solve each 'puzzle,' such as minimizing the cost of your designs, getting them as compact as possible, or performing the chemistry as quick as you can--the game even lets you save your designs as gifs! This game proves the beauty and genius of only being given a starting point and a finish line.
Without getting too far into the mechanics, you are an alchemist who has been trained to make automated machines that make particular chemicals from other components--you build the machine and, most importantly, write instructions for each moving part on a timeline.
The challenge comes from two places: complex chemicals require delicate work, as you do have limits on how you manipulate things; the other challenge is that you cannot edit your machine in real-time You can demo the machine's work, but you can only edit the machine at the beginning. As you set up an increasingly complex set of instructions, you need to keep an idea of what's happening at all times in your head.

All in all, a great game--good mechanics, pretty visuals, and a story that ties all of your actions together without feeling like a Macguffin. When you've mastered the game, you can even delve into a research journal to try on a bunch of very complex goals that have only been completed by the great scholars of the in-game world!
Also, Sigmar's Garden could be its own game and I'd still play it.

An excellent RTS, 4X, or however you'd like to call it. Great visuals, great replay value, and great balance between economy and military strategy. One of the game's prime features (and well-deserved) is the dynamic between small-scale and large-scale strategy, with both interacting to form a hybrid between the two. A game where a well-composed army can take on a massive brute-force armada--in another gravity well, well-planned defenses around a planet can keep an incursion force at bay and support a defensive force as they drive off invaders. All the while, you can be setting up a trade network that spans your territory to help power your war economy.
Want to make allies? Sure, go ahead. You'll lose a few envoys, but in the end you'll have some backup when you need it, plus the sharing of unique tech for mutual benefit. Want to sic some pirates on your enemies? You can do it, as long as you have the credits.
All in all, a great game for any strategy fan--even you aren't, casual players won't be bored. For the sci-fi enthusiast, the community is filled with great conversion mods that allow you to play around with your favorite races and ships in developer mode.
I'd recommend it.
