I've put off writing a review for this game for a long time because I just couldn't find a way to express how much I adore this game without seeming excessively hyperbolic.

I've been following the game since late 2016 and it has been a privilege to witness its growth since then. I loved it then, and I still love it now after 3 years. World building is an extremely hard thing to pull off in any sort of media, and this game just so happens to excel at it. Everything about it from the creature design, the sounds that fill the atmosphere and how the colours pop and contrast with each other every time you enter different biomes are done to an absolute tee.

Advancing through the game is straightforward enough yet still forces you out of your comfort zone and poses enough of a challenge to entice those who seek that. Part of that is courtesy of the actual design of the game while the other part for me would be the narrative of it all which is a topic I can't really delve into without opening an entire crate of spoilers so I'll leave it and allow whoever is reading this to buy the game and experience it for yourself. (Or to watch someone else play it, alternatively.)

Certain parts of the game can be a bit tedious if you're like me and have no patience to go around the world collecting items, but there is some satisfaction to be gained after doing so.

If you couldn't tell already, I highly recommend Subnautica. I've always looked for a game to call my favourite, and after much thought, I have absolutely no doubts with saying that this is it.

This game was an absolute pleasure to play. It maintained the humour and cleverness of the original while improving on other aspects. The missions are enjoyable and extremely linear, and while I can understand how this might be discouraging to some, I greatly enjoyed the more streamlined missions. One of my gripes with the original was getting to an incredibly late point in one of the missions only to discover that I forgot to perform an obscure action that resulted in me having to restart the entire day over again. Kindergarten 2 now allows you to restart from a certain point in the day now as well, which, in my opinion, makes for a far less frustrating experience. Overall, an absolute joy to play and to recommend to others.

Lovely game to just waste your time with. The freeplay can get a little stale after a while, but the campaign and the desire to unlock more dinosaurs can keep you hooked. Some slight bugs are to be expected as well as some camera angles that can be a tad bit annoying, though that criticism encompasses all lego games anyways. Hope they update it to include Fallen Kingdom related content, although I can't expect it to happen anytime soon.
Fun little game and definitely one you should pick up on sales, as I wasn't keen on spending quite as much as the regular price goes for.

fairly decent indie horror game though I wish all of the parts were free as judging by videos and other reviews all of the episodes are fairly similar anyways.

Was a little disappointing compared to it's predecessor in terms of length and characters however I still enjoy the level design and at the end of the day I still recommend just because it's free

I write this review as i'm planning to get the sequel. Best thing about the game? It's free, and it works on most devices as well. Story's good (although I wish the developers gave you some other more distinct choices). Characters are fine and I like the design and mechanics of it.

(WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS. IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME YET I SUGGEST LOOKING AT ANOTHER REVIEW)



It's a good game and it's cheap too. I want to start off this review by saying how much I love that the developers didn't put a clear ending to it so that you could keep on replaying it and find a different ending or a different tool each time. There are also "monsterman cards" in the game which serve as a collectible item which again draws you in to keep on playing and searching for them (I also believe that there is an achievement for collecting all of them) The story starts off relatively innocent and cute and quickly derails (i mean this in a good way) to a complete mess. It's a funny, well thought out and designed game. 10/10 Get it

What's there to say about this classic game? I got this for 3RMB ($0.4) during the summer sale since I had some extra money to spend at the end of the sale and I was not disapointed with it. Initially, I held it off for about 1 or 2 weeks so that I could find to right time to play it as I already had high expectations for it and that decision paid off. I played it one afternoon, long after the sale had ended, in an air conditioned room all alone with headphones and had one of the best times of my life. Moving away from the sentimental value of it, I enjoyed the puzzles and the gameplay of Portal and just like most valve games, even though some may perceive it as just another puzzle game, it has its own unique story and twists. I highly recommend it however I feel cheated as I did not get my well-deserved cake in the end

The game is more than a decade old and yet I can have more fun with it than other games that have come out in the previous year or so. Postal 2 is an open world, survival game in which you have to complete tasks set by your overbearing wife. If you think it sounds boring so far, just wait. The possiblities are endless with the world, you can literally turn the town into hell in between the pointless stuff that you need to complete. One negative that I would like to point out is the difficulty I had manuevering through the map. The work ethic of the developers is amazing as even after 14 years they still continue to update the game with little easter eggs that you will enjoy finding. I do not regret my time spent on the game.
