Ive been playing this game for about 15 years, and its still great. Its a simple game but tough to master on higher difficulty settings. I do much prefer the classic aesthetic when the game was a windows app, and some of the sound effects are odd. But glad to finally have this in my steam collection. :)

While Bethesda has been a bit shady lately, this is still a great game. Cant wait for Tes VI, in about 10 years :P

Don't let the time played fool you, I've easily put 5x as much into this outside of Steam. I count this among my top 5 all time favorite games ever. It's not for everyone, it wont hold your hand, you'll need patience to learn the mechanics, and the older graphics might turn some away (there is mods to help or just skip to Skyrim). Highly recommended!

The Stanly Parable is the sort of game you should know as little as possible about before playing. My biggest qualm would be the length, it will take about 3 hours or so to complete... But ohh what an interesting and enjoyable experience you will have in that time. 7/10

This game is an absolute gem, with such simple graphics and game-play its amazing how fun and satisfying it is to play. Pardon the cliché, its one of those games which is extremely simple to learn but difficult to master. The difficulty progression is (mostly) very well balanced and keeps the player challenged to improve their skills. Its the kind of game you want to play when you have a few minutes spare; but end up playing for an hour, "just one more turn, one more level"... And when you do pass that difficult stage, you feel you just have to replay it to get that perfect run. 8/10

Such a cute little game which will bring out the pyromaniac in anyone. The game is short and is drawn out a little by items being locked for a short period of time after purchase, but its extremely satisfying to watch things burn and explode, and in discovering the various combos in the game. If you want a casual experience and enjoy destroying everything, this is a definite grab when on sale or from a bundle.

As requested I have retried the game and I am actually fairy pleased with the result. While the aesthetic is still tablet-like, the feel of the quest game play (my favorite mode) is very similar to the original.. With a couple of caveats. This version is defiantly one I feel I could play through and not just be a watered down copy of the classic (which is also included).

I've only played a few levels but have an understanding of it works, perks are now included in quests - no cheating required. It is however forced upgrades unlike the classic, once you level up you get a popup to choose a perk. It can interrupt the flow of a level, and forces you to take a perk even if you didn't feel you needed one, e.g. when the level is complete, or like I used to do in the classic, find some breathing room and upgrade them all at once xD... I guess that was a bit silly too.

The other glaring omission I miss a lot is the local quest scores, I loved replaying levels, using different strategies and guns, trying to get the best scores and times.

I'm happy with the result now, the game is much more fun to play with perks in quest mode, Its certainly worth a buy, especially as you get the classic version too.

Cheers.
