Pretty cool short experience

It's pure jank, but that's its charm.

I do prefer the first game slightly more because of its innovation and simplicity, but this was also a great way to spend about 5 hours.

Though not strictly a horror game, this is the most adrenaline I've had pumping through my veins when playing a game.

There's not one particular moment I remember as being fun in this game, but yet this is still some of the most fun I've had playing a game. It really does live up to its name. I could just stare at my sprawling factory all day and be satisfied.

Astroneer is a beautiful and atmospheric game, and I had a ton of fun exploring and creating my base in this low poly solar system, however there are things that took a little more time than necessary, such as transporting large amounts of resources and traversing large distances with materials. It has a bit of automation, but I believe that if it went all in on this concept, it would be a better game for it and reduce some of the grind.

Everything about this game is masterfully and artfully crafted. It's fun too.

it's pretty fun

The Talos Principle is one of my favorite puzzle games, second only to Portal 2. Its mechanics are unique and lend themselves to challenging puzzles. I always found myself in the flow state, with the puzzles matching my skill level as the game progresses. The atmosphere is amazing, which is helped by the phenomenal soundtrack. The voice acting is great and the story is compelling.

The graphics got a nice upgrade in this installment. Everything about this is just iconic and fun. I liked some of the wave-based shooter elements.
