Great story, fun dialogue, and charming the whole way through. Perfect for those days when you want to solve robot crimes and maybe uncover greater robot mysteries.

I never really had much interest in mech stuff, but this game rips! It's like someone took Mirror's Edge style parkour and smashed it together with Wolfenstein's dual-wielding machine guns. The single-player campaign is super short, but there is absolutely no fat. Tons of thought and care went into every bit of gameplay. I don't really play multiplayer so I have no thoughts on that. Good game.

If you've liked any Double Fine games (Psychonauts, Stacking, Brütal Legend, etc.) then this is another in a long line of must-plays. It's funny, ridiculous, and controls extremely well. It's easily one of the best floating head simulators you'll play this year.

This game is the perfect level of chill for me after stressful days. Straight up brain off relaxing.

Also, I really like one of the music tracks. Perfect puzzle music.

Right off the bat, they must have fixed the performance issues because I had no trouble and my computer is no spring Cysty Pig.

If you're a fan of cartoonishly bold Robocop style satire about capitalism run amok, then this is the game for you. The writing in this game is superb. All the side quests relate to and support the themes of the main quests (I'm including the DLC main quests as well). Some of the really biting dialogue is hilarious and is always delivered very well.

The characters are all very well defined and aren't flanderized or bland.

There's a bit less action in this game as compared to the fallout series (its much older sibling) and I think it's better for it. There are usually a number of different clever ways to accomplish your goals outside of gunfire.

It's good, and if you're pining for some more New Vegas but instead of "aw, nihilism" you're looking for something more like "YAY NIHILISM" then this should hit that bullseye.

Lots of good memories of this game. Loads of places to sneak around, and lots of extra stuff to be found doing so.

If you like being sneaky beaky and dressing like you're going to a KMFDM concert, then this game is definitely for you.

I mean, it's Mass Effect. One of the best game franchises of all time. This was the third time playing it all the way through (started on the XBox 360 ages ago), but the first time playing with all the DLC and let me tell you: it massively changes the experience. The second game is much better with the Lair of the Shadow Broker and the third game is a completely different experience with a certain new companion and the Citadel dlc.

Even if you've played it all before, you know you wanna play it again.

It's an FPS gallery shooter mashup based on the rule of cool. It really is a joy to play and you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't.

I've put off writing a review for this game for quite some time now. It's a challenge to put into words what I felt when I played it. It's ethereal, thought-provoking and left me feeling a hollow melancholy. The translation mechanic is cool, and uncovering ancient mysteries is always fun, but the meditation on existence you get while playing the game is the real juice.

This game also has an amazing soundtrack that I immediately connected with and hits the exact emotional core the game is based on.

After playing it through the first time I immediately started another playthrough. You may not vibe with it, but if you do it'll stay with you forever.

Easily one of the best and most over-written games of all time. The writing is immaculate, the voice acting is superb, and the vividness of the politics will stab you in the heart.

If you're looking for an adult choose-your-own-adventure book, this is it.
