Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition
This game has aged well and still stands on its own merits, even with Injustice 2 available. A fun, casual friendly fighter with a decent story and good overall direction. The characters all look and feel great. In truth, I prefer this to the sequel in a lot of ways. That said, this recommend comes with some hefty caveats:
1. S.T.A.R. Labs is a set of hundreds of side-missions added to the game to pad its length. They generally involve either a flash-game quality arcade style minigame or a semi-normal fight with your arms tied behind your back and/or major RNG components. They are godawful, but there’s an achievement tied to completing them all with the best score possible (but only requires completing 240/300 missions since the last 60 are DLC), so they’re unavoidable if you’re an achievement hunter. I can’t express enough how terribly designed and balanced this aspect of the game is and it was almost enough for me to leave a negative review. Grinding them out is a truly awful gameplay experience, which I think the devs realized since the skins we’d normally have to unlock there come pre-unlocked in this version.

“Gods Among Us: Anyone can be a Hero”
Fighting games have long since descended from their all-conquering dizzying heights (in the 80’s and 90’s) to become almost a niche genre, as both games and gamers diversify. Within this evolving landscape, ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us (The Ultimate Edition)’ manages to brawl its way into contention as a polished, well crafted fighter, that despite its issues, is a fine addition to any Fight Game enthusiast’s collection.
Campaign: Released in late 2013, NetherRealm | Warner Bros. follow up on the commercial success of ‘Mortal Kombat: The Komplete Edition’ by essentially replicating that game within the DC Comics universe. The ‘Campaign’ mode follows the story arc from the ‘Injustice’ comic books, wherein a crazed Joker has killed Lois Lane and detonated a nuclear device in Metropolis. The game picks up with an enraged Superman asserting martial law over the planet and slowly turning from protector to oppressor. Narrated through well conceived animated cut-scenes and interspersed with 1-on-1 battles, gamers assume control of all their favorite characters as well as some others they might not have been so inclined to. The usual suspects are all here – from Batman, Superman, The Joker, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Green Arrow and Bane to a host of newer faces like Doomsday, Solomon Grundy, Frost, DeathStroke and Aquaman. A variety of Single Player Arcade-style Tournaments, Challenges, and lots of unlockable comic lore round out a content-rich title.

Understanding, The Game
amazing!! bravo maty!! this is a very good example of a guy making a game with love.
i loved the idea and the basic but efective gameplay! cant wait for full game
atmosphere 10/10
music 9/10
player mechanics: 7/10
gameplay : to be a demo very nice! it took me 45 minutes to finish it.
the game mechanics are basic and easy to play! the flashlight lifetime is so weird, but developer will make an update and increase the lifetime of the flashlight so that’s fine
I see people who say the game has no point of direction. there are many videos on the internet of people who have passed the game without having to go around harassing an independent developer, the game is not perfect and is not a game made by a studio with million dollars of budget.

This game is still in its ‘demo’ version with the full release coming as a DLC sometime this year.
I’ve played A LOT of horror games. Easily a couple hundred. This game has serious potential. It just needs polish.
The visuals and the spoops are on point. From the menu screen, I was immediately pulled in and couldn’t wait to get my teeth bloody on some good scares. Atmospheric sounds that have been used in some of my favorite horror games can be heard here as well. I heard noises that I recognized from Silent Hill, which is always guaranteed to score good points with me.

App is really cute. Hoping that the application gets more traction, especially from mod creators. Also hoping for an update to support monitoring youtube music too.

Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition
Arkham City is a direct upgrade to Arkham Asylum: This installment managed to improve literally every aspect of it’s predecessor: Your movement is faster and combat is even more versatile, thanks to all the new gadgets and combat moves included. Remember those annoying Taser, Shield and Firearms bastards from Asylum? You can now destroy their weaponry which looks so badass. Basically you are now given even more tools how to proceed in both Combat and Predator situations. The enemies are more aware of Batman’s tricks - able to destroy vantage points or scan them using thermal goggles. We also get to play as Batman’s allies - Nightwing, Robin and Catwoman - who is my personal favorite due to her light-speed attacks.

Game of the year for a reason. Even non Diehard Batman fans can enjoy this masterpiece of a game years after the initial release. If you have never played it, you are doing yourself a disservice.

Hanoi Puzzles: Flip Match
A simple change in the game mechanic gives the puzzles a new way to solve. I am just as happy with this game as the previous version.
Some puzzles are straight forward early on to learn some basic concepts of moving and solving. Then later the solutions are not as obvious and you get to plan out your moves. But if you dont want to solve for the minimum moves, you can just move as much as you want. Being able to move to the next level with the “correct” solution, is huge for me.
The music is still calm and fits the style. Some of the music is a little bit… stronger or more aggressive compared to the previous game, but still calm and in the background.

Batman™: Arkham Origins
Batman: Arkham Origins has always been the odd one out, a little unpolished and out of place.
That doesn’t mean it’s a bad game though.
Batman Arkham Origins provides a fantastic story, possibly being the most engaging and emotional out of the entire Arkham quadrilogy (yes, I said quadrilogy, stop pretending this game doesn’t exist, I want Origins Remake).
The gameplay is as in-depth and enjoyable as it was in Arkham City, now with the inclusion of a couple of new gadgets, some are decent, others are really cool and one in particular makes the combat loop significantly more fun (although arguably easier).

A FUCKING AMAZING GAME 9/10
Gameplay:
Combat - The Arkham series has the FUCKING BEST combat in any video game, there are so many different enemy types and so many ways to take em down. It takes skill and practice to get good at, but it’s rewarding and makes you feel like a FUCKING GOD
Traversal - You can glide and grapple around the city with your cape and grapple gun. Traversal also does take a slight bit of skill to get to places faster and it is somewhat fun too.
Stealth - REALLY GOOD stealth gameplay. There are so many amazing ways to sneak up on your enemies such as, grappling between ledges, crawling through vents, or just simply sneaking up behind them. And on top of that there is so many different ways to take them down such as, silent takedown, knockout smash, inverted takedown, vent takedown, ledge takedown, hanging ledge takedown, sonic takedown, ground takedown, slide takedown, glue takedown, and a few more.
