State of Mind
Daedalic Entertainment is a German company aimed at production and distribution of Video Games; it’s specialized in point and click traditional graphic adventures with hand-made illustrations relying heavily on puzzles. Daedalic has always paid a lot of attention to the narrative side, although within a traditional and somewhat dated gameplay; its productions are generally characterized by a low budget that manifests itself with graphics and animations not at the state of the art. Nevertheless, the specialized critics have always appreciated the quality of hand illustrations and stories and how the latters are integrated with the point and click mechanics. I refer you to the Wikipedia page to see the numerous Daedalic productions.

There is a funny thing about me and reviews - I enjoy writing them a lot, but when it comes to reading others opinions on the game, it can be a problem for me. I caught myself on a thought, that sometimes what I see in the reviews, especially when it comes to influent magazines and websites, can make me feel like “wtf did I just read?” and it drives me crazy. Like, sometimes, people can see a comparison between two completely different games just because it has a little bit of similarity in a game’s idea and plot, but in general, it’s freaking opposite products, which will never stay on the same line.

It was an enjoyable ride even though not as much as Elite. It has quite a number of fanservice and comedic moments thanks to Daru as the main character. It can be good or bad depending on one’s preference. I sometimes was annoyed by Daru’s personality while sometimes appreciate his contribution to story progression and his perspective as an outsider towards people and events from the first game.
Nonetheless, don’t immediately drop this game thinking the whole game is just a fanservice. It does have meaningful stories to tell. It tells what happened after the events of the first game which I believe whoever finishes the first game would appreciate. It answers some unanswered questions from the first game. The returning casts, main and minor, received good amount of airtime and further character developments. The last phase (final route) has a serious tone on par of the last phase of the first game. I can assure you this game is a legit sequel of Robotics;Notes.

Mass Effect 2 (2010)
Mass Effect 2 is an adventure I will never forget.
In my personal opinion, Mass Effect 2 is one of the best sci-fi RPGs ever made, the world Bioware created is unique, diverse and wonderful, not to say everyone is hugging eachother while hopping over rainbows.
The game presents you with many moral and ethical choices, an exmaple is a mission which requires you to blow up a mass relay, but doing so will destroy a colony with over 300.000 residents, but if you don’t do it the system will get invaded by the Reapers. (Giant robots with lasers, you have to play the game to understand.)

BEST. GAME. EVER.
EDIT: I never expected for my review to get to the top of the reviews section of ME2 store page, thank you fellow gamers! That’s why I’m adding a few more things to it and separating it in sections. English is not my native language so please note that I’ll probably have a ton of mistakes here, and I also have a very limited vocabulary. I’m trying my best. Also please note that you’ll probably lose more time reading this review than actually playing the game. :)

Ah, Mass Effect… how do I make this review and not sound the slightest biased at all?
1- INTRODUCTION
Mass Effect is one of those cult classic games that gained recognition due to its advertisement of being a spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic. To some degree, yes it is. As soon as you start the game it just screams Star Trek or at the very least any old corny 80s space opera. This is definitely one of the charms of this game. It’s more about talking and finding resolutions to problems rather than pulling out your plasma rifle and shooting every space-fiend you come across.

STAR WARS™ - Knights of the Old Republic™
If you consider yourself a Star Wars fan OR an RPG fan, this game is a must, regardless of the current year.
If you haven’t played this one yet, you’re missing out.
A playthru for me personally is usually 30-45 hours, enjoy every second!

STAR WARS™ Knights of the Old Republic™ II - The Sith Lords™
Good game but there’s a game breaking bug that I cannot find a fix for. I Tried around 6 different fixes to no avail. After combat, around 80% of the time, the game will not allow the player to move. You are stuck unless you save and then load. If it happened 20% instead of 80% it wouldn’t be a problem, but as it stands, at times it’s every 20 seconds you have to spend another 20 seconds to restart.
