A cute and very short little platforming game where you play as an octopus that needs to travel through some strange lands to save its village. As you might be able to tell, this game is quite heavily inspired by the original gameboy, and is using music and sound effects that it would be able to play, has a colour palette that's the same as the gameboy and even uses the same resolution. It's a simple gimmick, but it works. The only issue is that at some points some things blend in with the background, but it's not a common issue. Overall, this game was quite fun. One of those super cheap steam games that are actually worth playing.

I had forgot just how fun this game was! Star Wars Episode I: Racer is by far the best thing to come out of the prequel trilogies, and it's even one of the best Star Wars games ever made, with only the KOTOR series being better (and even that's arguable). This is a Wipeout-style racing game, where you play as a very fast hovercraft that need to navigate some tricky levels. One thing that surprised me about it, apart from how well it ran on a modern machine, was how easy it was. I played through all the levels, including the 4 bonus levels, and I only did not get first place once, and it was on the second bonus level. So yeah, that I guess is a bit of a negative, but overall, this game was a blast to play.

What would you expect from Telltale making a Minecraft-based adventure game? Probably something better than this, to be honest.

Minecraft: Story Mode uses the very typical Telltale formula, set by The Walking Dead. It's clearly a game meant for a slightly younger audience, with a rather simple "save the world" main story. It does get a bit dark at times, and there are a few jokes that kids won't get (like they talk about dropping the f-bomb, that is to say the "Formidi-Bomb"). Had this been all there was to it, Minecraft: Story Mode would have been an inoffensive, but not very good game, with some charming scenes, but an otherwise forgettable story, but it had some major issues. Namely a plethora of bugs, and a story choice that I think was made because the first episode was free.
-Dialogue keeps cutting off. This is kind of serious in a story-driven game, when plot-important dialogue cuts off constantly. This was at its worst during episode 1, but it kept being an issue through the entire game.
-Flickering textures & models. This was a more common issue later, but there were some serious issues with flickering models & textures.
-Disappearing models. This mostly happened in the first DLC episode, where a cutscene that was meant to hold nearly 10 character models could end up only having 2-3.
-Characters "warping" from place to place. This happened during a bunch of cutscenes, most of which were from the DLC, where instead of walking from one place, characters would just instantly "warp" from one location to another. This was always a short distance, but it was still jarring.
-Facial animations were buggy. This was particularly true for bearded characters.
-The game would suddenly stop letting me interact with objects, which also happened when I re-loaded my save-file. Only way to fix this was to "rewind" to an earlier point in the chapter (at least the game let you do this). This was entirely limited to the first DLC chapter, but it happened twice there.
-The game would suddenly decide that all hotspots in a scene were for the same thing. If you had lava, a pig, a sheep and a door in a scene, the game could suddenly decide that no matter which hotspot you were trying to interact with, it would be the pig. This mostly happened in episode 5.
-Sometimes audio de-synced

I hope I got all of them. This game was in other words nearly as buggy as Telltale's Jurassic Park, and I was really tempted to moving it into my "broken" category on steam and never look at it again.

And about the story issue. The main story is limited to episode 1-4, with episode 1 going out with a real bang. But from hereon it would be quite hard to actually keep things interesting through 5 chapters. It would have been better to leave the end of episode 1 to around the halfway point of episode 2. Instead episode 5 is just setting up the DLC.

Overall, I would say that this is a safe skip. Had the game not been such a broken mess, I would have said that it might be fun for a child (one old enough to watch movies like Disney's The Hunchback in Notre Dame, but good grief, it's like Telltale was trying to make this their most broken game yet.

From one broken mess to another. Vendetta actually starts pretty alright, and showcases some good ship to ship combat, that is a bit more complex than what Assassin's Creed: Black Flag had to offer. But it's all downhill from there. The main character's voice acting is "alright", as is the main supporting character, but then after a little while you run into someone who seem's to have recorded their lines using a lower mid-range gaming headset in their bedroom. Combat also turns out to be rather problematic, as the game flat out refuses to detect hits against enemies who stand on any kind of sloped surface. Yep, if the enemy is standing on some stairs, or on a gently sloped gravel path or anything like that, you can't hit it! Also, combat against multiple enemies is pretty much broken, as the camera keeps spazzing out and even if you target on specific enemy, the camera will still start panning rapidly between enemies.
And this combat is supposedly greatly improved compared to the games original release! It should be noted that the original release of this game is sitting at a metacritic score of 27/100. And really, that's more than this release of the game deserves. Even Ride to Hell: Retribution works better than this thing, and I had to stop playing Ride to Hell because the game would not load in the stairs for a staircase.
