Great old school mmo. It has a huge amount of quests, skilling and dung runs, you will never run out of things to do or get bored. The devs really listen to the players and are always working on improving the game. The "free to play" for this game isn't just a saying, you don't have to spend a dime to get to the same lvl and have the same goodies as the players that do spend.
Warning, it is still in BETA and it needs a lot of work. It's present version is very clicky and repetitive. I'd wait until the final version is out. It is on IOS and android for free if you want to get a sense of what it's like.
I Love this series. I always have. Knocked it out of the park with this one! Some of the controls are tough, but like all new games as you get the hang of it you start to lose yourself in the storyline/game. Stoked. Glad it wasn't a flop like SimCity.
I am not sure why the first reviewer is so critical of this game, but then again his grammar is very poor so who knows how much he can be trusted? I am also a huge fan of the Total War series of games and this is by far the best one. The amount of attention to detail is immensely satisfying for anyone who is a student of history. I am very pleased with the amount of choices available for playable factions and the detail given to each civilization. Just an incredible amount of attention to detail. Anyone who is a fan of strategy and history should enjoy this game immensely. Be warned, if you like dumb dumb first person shooter games you will probably hate it. Even small decisions in this game can have huge consequences. Do not expect it to be the same as the Napolean or Empire games, it has similar controls/interfaces but so much more detail than those games. Very happy with this game and I am hoping they make one for the Crusades in the future with this amount of detail.
This game is really good. It's very dynamic, with lots of different choices that all affect the outcomes of different situations. And the art style is very unique and works really well for the story being told
I got this to play a classic First person grid RPG, something similar to Legend of Grimrock. The adventure seemed promising but as soon as you leave the first town, enter the worldmap and try to enter other dungeons it constantly crashes. Apparently it has something to do with the 64bit version, but I'm tired of recent games not beeing debugged like they used to, I'm not being payed as a playtester, I'm just looking for some fun, not endless bug fixing...Didn't expect this from a Ubisoft release... Anyway, I did persevere and played on 32bit with downscaled graphics (specially in the open maps to avoid lag), Although the game has funny details (air bass guitar playing sharks?) and quests, the open world is filled with dead ends if you have a low level party, therefore you have to figure out the right order to do the quests or you'll wander around aimlessly as much tougher enemies grind through your defenses. but a relatively monotonous storyline all the way to Karthal... The third act does pay off and the game actually starts realizing it's full potential with the harder and more imaginative free DLC. You have to sneak out of a prison and fight your way through hard terrain (sometimes you can't reach the enemy because he's throwing arrows at you from higher ground). All in all it's a 100 hour endeavor with endless lore, and actually one of the harder quests require you to memorise the names of the 8 corners of this imaginary world.
Beware, as of now (sept. 2014), the game is in (early) beta and absolutely not ready for release. I don't know who the fault is on, but it should be clearly indicated, and byers should be warned.
I was hoping for a clean game, but it still plenty of bugs and polish. At this point we are really far from a finished game.
Although it's not particularily difficult to play and doesn't present a challenge to seasoned gamers, The Walking Dead Season 1 packs an emotional punch that easily makes up for the lack of complexity. With fantastic voice acting, writing, and visual presentation that isn't too taxing on your hardware - The Walking Dead walks away with an easy 5-star rating from me. This game is solely responsible for causing me to pay more attention to voice acting and plotlines in video games.
In sum, it's an unparalleled point-and-click adventure game for mature players.
I love the overall concept of the game, but it's not perfect. It's a great mix of farming and zombie apocolypse, but I am not a fan of the controls. It could definitely be more user friendly.
Game freezes a lot. Like when zoning into Lighthouse or Den of Thieves. I have a new iMac 27" 3.4 i7. 16 gb ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB with the latest OS. Yes game freezes a lot, have to force quit out. It's getting old. Also unable to redeem one expansion due to buying it online I didn't get a code that they claim is on the back of the box. Their website doesn't offer any help. It also doesn't appear to be any updates or fixes for Mac port at least. Looks like no activity on site since 2012? No mods. It's a shame the game isn't more stable. And shouldn't be laggy with my set up, but it is when moving at times. It is a fun game when it runs good. Changed rating.. Game now freezes up anytime I try to enter Den of Thieves and without the ability to grind up on respawns (because there aren't any......) There's nothing else I can fight to progress.
I have had this game for years and it still does not stop with the updates in playing it the updates add on places to explore it takes a little time to figure it out but it is fun to play
Struggle to beat apocalypse is heart breaking. the bonding between adorable helpless child and convicted murderer is extremely heart breaking. the emotional impact is unfogotten. You can try different choices to see storyline change. many situations that will make you decide betwen not easy answers. Must buy. must play
Great game however very glitchy form my experience
This is a solid strategy game! Explosions, tanks, airlines, ships, and other military things are all there! Although I will empasize that this game is very gllitchy at the moment as it is still in beta. It's hard for me to sometimes even get through one game without it freezing up and losing my game. Appart from the glitches, its a solid RTS game!
One of the few games I've ever played through 3x. In this case, I wanted to play all 12 race/class combos. Each game was very enjoyable, as the "prestige class" advancement and quests were almost always worthwhile (except the Runepriest, oddly enough, whose signature special ability I never used).
I really enjoyed the turn-based combat; the lore of the game; the art assets from previous games as well as painted art for this game; the variety of foes; the quests galore; all the optional things to do; boss fights; and the leveled relics especially. I really hope this team learns from a few mistakes (graphic optimization and lag on the open map sometimes) and puts out another game like this. Ideally in the same world.
Once I ran this in 32-bit mode like recommended, I had no major issues at all. Restart-type bugs were extremely rare.
