Flawed but fun. Do not bother if you bought into the hype.

That's the review in a nutshell. To go into more detail: the PC version of the game has flaws, and it does sometimes feel like a console port. Graphical glitches and less than stellar controls (which I understand have now been patched out) are the main complaints. But if you have a PC XBOX controller, you are set up to have a fantastic time.

The game has small quirks that people make fun of and act as though they somehow reduce the games value (trains stopping on a time when you step in front of them, for example). This really isn't the case - these things add mild quirks that, unless the smallest details mean the world to you, are barely going to be felt while you drive around escaping police and hacking the world.

It's a great time, and I have already spent more hours in it than I have in GTA5. I feel like there's more to do on the side that interests me. The multiplayer is spectacularly accessible and super fun (and GTA5's is, too, for sure). And the game does a great job at setting you up and enabling you to do just awesome action-movie stunts.

All in all, I highly recommend Watch_Dogs!

Space Engineers is a really interesting, fun building simulation that shows a lot of potential and has a low of areas it can really grow. While it does currently have a few annoying little bugs in multiplayer, the game is a real pleasure to play with friends.

A fantastically fun game with some hilarious humor (though you will need to be a fan of South Park's brand of humor for much of it). It's impressive that the comedy is so closely tied to the gameplay as it is. It also stands up as a very, very good roleplaying game - with excellent character customization and a wonderfully fun combat system. I can't recommend The Stick of Truth enough.

A great (if short) first episode, but it's already looking to pluck on the same heartstrings that the first did so, so well. I'm expecting great things, and I trust Telltale Games to deliver based on my experiences thus far.
