Unnecessary running

I really liked the customization of weapons and armor and different skill trees. Lots of flexibility usable with different play styles. You can craft different ammo types using materials.

Some of the more basic weapons were fun to use with the hunting missions against animals.

The variety of enemies was also a lot of fun and provided a lot of variety.

Some of the game felt a little hand holdy, but still very fun to explore. Lots of side quests provide a lot of additional game time.

Reputability is good since you can save your cool weapons you have accumulated throughout the game.

Overall, very entertaining game with cool visuals and characters.

Did you buy the unlimited fast travel pack? I was feeling the unnecessary running, until I got that and the summon mount skills.

A little confusing, sometimes (0 more)

We have always wondered, Neil tells us the answer.

I love a good epic book, I love a good story which has the various Gods in. Neil Gaiman gives us Godsand Godesses from all different cultures, they are friends and enemies, and they are not doing much now.
What a fantastic idea, Gaiman pulls it off superbly. His weird style of writing is a great fit to follow the journey of Shadow and Wednesday. It's a journey well worth telling and well worth reading.
Gaiman is not everyone's cup of tea, even if he is not yours you will enjoy this. If he is yours, why have you not read it yet?

Rhage and Mary's story!!

Rhage is different from the other brothers, also known as "Hollywood" for his good looks, but his interest is mostly in killing members of the Lessening Society and being with his brothers.
JR Ward has a way of making you fall in love with each character (one at a time) and feeling a part of their story as it develops. Yes this could be considered a romance to some extent but that isn't what this really is in my opinion. The Black Dagger Brotherhood series is a highly addictive series of books with Vampires, action, enemies and the love interest although engaging is a side line to the main story. If you enjoy Vampire books then these are a must read!

This game was so incredibly dark and disturbing while at the same time being mesmerising and beautiful. It is about a little girl called Six who seems to have been kidnapped and has to escape a ship filled with what appear to be monsters and creatures. The imagery is downright creepy, from the suicide connotations and the cannibalism. The "enemies" that Six must avoid to get out include a long armed "janitor", Vile looking "Twin Chefs", obese monstrous "guests" and a humming geisha lady who is the most threatening of all.
I highly recommend this game, its fun and quirky to play for a quick play through but has lots of interesting hidden content to explore and fun achievements to unlock.
