+ New models and maps are well polished and visually distinct. + New music tracks are atmospheric and more original than the old ones. + Concept art is still amazing. - Anomalies should have been better integrated into the map and existing special locations, instead of spawning on random empty spots on the map. - The writing is still atrocious and the lore a mess, despite some interesting premises.
Adds intrigue and subterfuge to Stellaris, and more ways to influence your friends and foes from the shadows. A great balancing mechanic for smaller empires to feel more empowered.
Is it a gothic game? No, its far too linear, however some fun can be found, as long as you don't think of it as an elderscrolls or gothic RPG and place so lower expectations on it.
A new interesting way to play with slaves and some cool civics, plus the Necroids look really cool. I would recommend if you like the other species packs that add new features.
The focus trees are fun but the nations involved have some more advanced mechanics and can be quite hard to manage. Would recommend, though not necessarily for less experienced players.
Total War: WARHAMMER II – The Twisted & The Twilight
1) Excellent new units for the wood elves 2) An extremley fun sisters' campaign thanks to the cool start position, the magnificent wood elf rework and the amount of flavour due to narration and quality voice acting 3) Ariel is very nice to look at and fun to use 4) Excellent skaven campaign due to all the reasons mentioned above and a fun mechanic to boot 5) interesting and useful new units, and Glorious Ghorritch, skaven chieftan as well
3 New biomes, 1 new Boss. Both boss and the biomes with new amazing music. Crapton of creative new weapons abilties and other stuff to unlock and mess around with. New achievments and challenges.
Dead Cells is a 2D sidescrolling action platformer. And it's a good one at that.
It draws heavy inspiration from titles such as the Dark Souls series or BloodBorne, and during your gameplay you'll notice mechanics such as the Estus flask, the Bloodborne combat heals, or a roll with invincibility frames shaping up combat.
The controls feel good and are fully rebindable, attacks are satisfying to land and the enemies have tells that stand out enough that taking damage doesn't feel cheap. There's a lot of platforming involving, and the map is full of secrets and loot. The jumping and climbing around itself feels generous, less challenging than it seems to be at first glance, as in you will make jumps you think you wouldn't be able to.
I like the graphic and sound design, as well as the general themes and setting. There is not a lot of variation when it comes to enemies, tho, but I would expect more to be added.
2130 is a total conversion DLC, with the same mechanics as the base game, but in a completely different setting. If you enjoyed Rise of Industry, this is what you've been waiting for. If you like cyberpunk and futuristic graphics, this is what you've been waiting for. If you want a whole new tech tree, new resources, new town buildings, new industries, new logistics buildings, and new music, this is what you've been waiting for.
This DLC is a huge improvement for the game! I really like it, and I definitely recommend getting it if you're into the more political aspects of Stellaris like I am.
This is the single-most important DLC to add to the game. Industrial district specializations were a step in the right direction, but Industries actually makes resource management and logistics into a real gameplay mechanic beyond just placing roads and zoning.
Moreover, the processor buildings, warehouses and unique factories look 100x better than basic industrial zones.
This DLC adds another layer of complexity to the game, although some of its additions are easily overlooked. If used well, the new features can really boost your empire.
