This is a tough review to write, considering the game has a lot of good points, but its bad points are really bad.

The Good
-The story is a really good, lore-heavy story, with a nice twist of "What if Paul never existed".
-Roaming Dune on foot or via vehicles is fun, and can give you a thrill (not knowing if you are going to be attacked by a worm or not).
-Raiding the camps, facilities, and crash sites gives satisfaction of actually accomplishing something (especially at the lower levels).
-Base building (when you have the necessary resources) is fun, and you have the flexibility to be creative.

The Bad
-It takes forever to collect resources needed for whatever you're doing/working on (I spent a good 3 hours just getting the necessary stone and metal to build 1 floor of my 4-story base).
-Solaris/Currency is near impossible to come by in some zones (2nd desert area, near Arrakeen), unless you constantly keep hitting the facility locations (the camps don't seem to have currency like the starting desert camps).
-If you don't login to the game and ensure your base is at 100% (base actually takes damage from sandstorms, even when built within rocks and mountains that shouldn't allow for sandstorm damage) on a daily basis, you could lose your base and all items from your storage containers...in as little as 7 days; I was away dealing with real life for roughly 8 days, logged back in and my main base was gone, with my temporary base being half destroyed, sand-bike gone, and all my storage crates with resources gone. The currency I had in my storage container was gone, but the currency on my person remained.

As others have stated, if they made it so your base didn't get completely destroyed/removed within such a short time-frame (or at all), and you didn't lose all your stuff that you spent hours trying to acquire, it would be a much better experience. There are things I definitely like about the game, but there are things that definitely need improving upon. As someone who doesn't support Twitch, I am glad to see they are bringing their Twitch drops into the game for others to obtain.

If you are someone who plans on spending time in the game, and logging in fairly regularly, I definitely recommend the game. However, if you are only planning on playing every once in awhile, I would advise waiting until there is a massive sale on the game, otherwise you will be upset about putting in time to only lose everything.

Marvel Heroes 2015 is a fun game to play. It mixes the game style of Diablo III, with the characters, story, and environments being that of the Marvel universe. There are plenty of notorious characters to choose from, such as Wolverine, Spiderman, and Deadpool. Overall, the missions are pretty standard, but the story tied to the missions are what make it worthwhile. This game is also a true free-to-play game, as you can acquire all the items that you can pay for, but it will take time. For example, you can buy the Spiderman pack for $X amount, or play the game for roughly 20 hours (play time varies, on how lucky you are with the Fortune Cards, the amount of crystals you receive during the city challenges, and the Hero Boxes/Tokens you can get). With new content always being added (I've played the game for roughly 2 weeks at the time of this review, and there have already been 3 updates with content for the game), there is plenty of playability.

I had high hopes for this game (even though I wouldn't be able to play multiplayer), and the game is a let-down. Every time I try to attack, turn, or just about do anything, the game will minimize itself, then close out. However, sometimes I'm able to catch it before it closes, but then it will happen again within a few seconds. It was rough just trying to get through the first mission, and if this continues, I will no longer play the game. Luckily it was only a waste of $3, since I bought it during the Summer Flash sale that was going on. I put this game as a non-recommended game, only because of the glitching that occurs...which others have complained about, as well.

I originally bought and played this game on console, back when it first came out (2010), and bought this one with the "Darksiders Franchise Pack" that was for $14.99 in May (2014). The game mechanics are pretty decent, although, jumping can feel awkward at times (especially when you get the Wings). Where this game really excels, is in the overall story, dialogue, and music. I can't wait to see if any other games in the series come out (Darksiders II feels the same as this one, but I haven't played much of it...yet).
