SiN Episodes: Emergence
After rushing 24 hours total with this. I´m done. I´ve played all the maps(story i mean), fanmade, Sin 1 Source maps, EVERYTHING. (those all i could find and download). I examined every place in all maps totally. So the fun would not end.
Positive things about this game:
-AI, so much better than in any other source game, enemies can get wounded, and can´t move, just noticed that in last map i played, they kick things at you, shoots exploding barrels (and maybe kick them towards you after that), they can melee better, using head example, they throw your grenades back to you(i think, i´m not sure about this one) and they can get health from healthstations example. So it´s more challangening to fight them.

A wise woman once said “born to stink, forced to smell”. In an age where the games industry was still finding its footing, smaller studios that once battled the giants for a foothold in the mainstream had to resort to workflows and content delivery methods that were less than conventional in an attempt to secure funding. Ritual Entertainment, one such company, found themselves in this precise predicament after their generally unrewarded work on SiN and Counter-Strike left them seeking a new source of income.

Half-Life 2: Episode One
The release of this Episode signified a hope of something bigger coming in the near future. We got that with The Orange Box and Episode Two wouldn’t have been possible without the evolution the Half-Life architecture went through in Episode One.
It’s evident that this installment is mainly about Alyx, her emotions, reactions and her relationship with Gordon. In the beginning, she is delighted to find you amidst the rubble. She is given a lot of space to express her anxiety about going back inside the Citadel to delay the reactor’s core’s meltdown and whispers your name at the very end of the Episode.

Half-Life 2: Episode One begine right where Half-Life 2 ended, and continues the story of Dr.Gordon Freeman in City 17, however, this time, the priority remains to escape the city following the events of Half-Life 2.
With updated lighting and AI for deuteragonist Alyx Vance, and expanded usage for the Gravity Gun, Half-Life 2: Episode One continues Half-Life 2’s usage of advanced graphics, physics, music and writing to create a game that is both rich in gameplay, plot, and emotion. Like its predecessor, it uses training techniques to allow for a more fluid experience, and utilizes the game’s physics engine to a full. With excellent performances by its cast, it’s able to greatly explain the story of Gordon and Alyx escaping City 17.

Deus Ex: The Fall
Deus Ex: The Fall should be taken for what it is. A mobile entry into the Deus Ex Universe. Admittedly, I’m a fan of the universe and getting another chance to play in this world, is something I am always looking forward to. So there may be some bias.
One thing that must first be noted, is that this game is a direct port from Mobile. If you look at what the game offers from a mobile perspective, it’s pretty amazing. I wouldn’t actually want to play it on mobile, as I can’t imagine pulling off some of the stuff I do with just gestures, but hey, more power to those who want to.

After completing a masterpiece Human Revolution and writing review on it, it seemed that there was only Mankind Divided left on the horizon and that’s all, the series is complete! But no! There was one more game that is rarely talked about (like with Invisible War) – Deus Ex: The Fall. Many told me that this is crap, but it is the direct sequel to the Deus Ex: Icarus Effect book, which I liked. So, like with Invisible War, I decided to check myself, what this game is, and… things turned to be no so simple…

HITMAN™
HITMAN™ Review
**So ,hello to my next review of games ! Today i will say what I like from HITMAN™ an what not.
At first , I am a big Hitman fan and because I like it I must buy it . Many people gave the game an dislike !
So when you are to lazy to read all here scroll a little bit down**
Story
So the game plays after the events from “Hitman Absolution”. But at first it gives a tutorial where you learn the basics of the game and that plays 20 years before the events from Absolution. The story begins with the first episode in Paris and the Mission name is “Showstopper” . You have to kill two targets….. The bad thing is ,it’s an episodic game :/

There’s 2 things I’d like to get out of the way first before starting my review. I got the “Full Experience” (entire game) for free from a Steam friend - although this should have no effect on my review, it’s obviously a bit harder for me to gauge whether this game is worth full price or not. Second, HITMAN has a “mixed” review status at the time of writing and some of its earned. The episodic model this title uses is polarizing, a lot of stupid decisions have been made and the game lacks a lot of polish like most early access games do (ironically we were repeatedly told Hitman wasn’t an early access title). Now with that out of the way… how is the new Hitman game?

Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Half Life 2. What is there to say about such an influential game, again? The physics engine alone still holds up to this day while the story still has people captivated to this day.
The story of Gordon Freeman is continued in a very fun and great way, being woke up by G-Man at the start really puts you back into action. The decision to continue the story 20 years later after the Balck Mesa incident and completing ignoring the fact that most people decided to be bloodthirsty megalomaniacs who murdered both friendly and hostile entities was amazing, the fact that they pick obscure characters to be the main characters of this game is also amazing - I bet nobody remembered Eli or Lamarr even after being told who they were back in Half Life by themselves until they decided to replay Half Life again or by playing through the fanmade remake Black Mesa.

The Half Life series still holds up as one of the best of all time.

Quantum Break
Quantum Break is yet another wonderful addition to Remedy Entertainment’s roster of amazing, story-driven action romps with fantastic plot points & wonderful action. If Max Payne, Alan Wake, & Control are in your “must plays” then this is a guaranteed home-run for ya… So, why aren’t you playing it??
– Real player with 40.1 hrs in game
Quantum Break is a great game from start to finish, and playing it with all the benefits of being on PC just make it that much better. I’m able to 100% the game in just 34 hours, not too bad.

Alan Wake
Alan is a famous writer of psychological horror books who goes with his wife to vacation in Washington, more precisely in a small town called Bright Falls. In this place the protagonist begins to experience episodes of its last book published and about which he does not remember to have it written. However, all the current events in your life are directly and indirectly related to this book. Here could be a lot more said, however they would be spoilers of the game.
Alan Wake’s graphics are very beautiful, well rendered and polished. The detail levels of various objects are quite high. The light and shadow effects are exceptional and the textures are very well crafted. Details such as the reflections of light over the water and the light of the lantern illuminating the setting or even focusing on objects through a glass are excellent. Undoubtedly graphically the game is very well done. The fictitious and mountainous town of Bright Falls with its native forests, abandoned and old mills, empty houses and sheds made of wood and weathered are exceptionally well portrayed. When you are driving a car, a pick up or a jeep very fast pop-ins are present, but do not even bother.

Alan Wake is a psychothriller game based on supernatural powers. It shows how powerful darkness really is. The game is set in a rural town called Bright Falls in Washington state, USA. Alan Wake is a professional writer from New York City who decides to go on a vacation in a small town. However, his vacation turns into a nightmare as he is attacked by possessed beings known as the Taken. Wake’s wife is apparently kidnapped from their cabin located in a nearby lake, encouraging Wake to look for her in the wilderness. The game is spread across six episodes that feel like a TV show.

Episodic game: DLC content and price
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is a game that consists of 4 episodes. Each episode contains 2 campaign missions and a number of raid mode missions.
The Steam Store page you’re looking at, and more importantly the low price you see there, is for episode 1 of the game only. You need to buy the other 3 episodes as DLC. On top of that, there’s another 19 DLC:
- 2 extra ‘episodes’ that aren’t worthy of the name as they are very short and add little story and almost no other content, so definitely not worth the price of €4.99 each in my opinion
