Simple rules but clever gaming (0 more)
Puzzling brain buster
This game is simple. By every tree is one tent but no tent can be pitched in any adjacent square, neither vertically or horizontally or diagonally. Now you go find those tents. The rules are simple but this will test your grey matter. It's a very clever puzzle game and works so well by giving you a sense of achievement.

Race time and a booby-trapped island to find lost treasures!
I bought this game as an intro to strategy tabletop gaming for my kids. Our first game was a win, but the second ended in tears as the island defeated us.
It didn't stop us though. We still play it and have learned how to apply strategies to help each character meet objectives quickly.
We are considering other games in the franchise, but now the kids are hooked on gaming and we're trying new types.
Well worth the money for adventure and strategy for even seasoned players. The scaled difficulty and multiple characters make strategy and replay a must. The more people playing, the more the game seems to adapt.
Maybe not the best intro to new gamers, but it worked for us!

Outstanding
If you are a fan of the 80's nostalgia and gaming then this is the film for you. The special effects are amazing, but what else would you expect from a spielberg film. Keep your eyes wide open for all the characters you can spot as the film goes on.

I won't give all spoilers as I do not want to give anything away. Just watch and enjoy the ride.

Many crucial scenes were not included.
I loved the book, but the movie was disappointing.
I hated the fact that they used an amazing book and its plot, to create a 2-hour worth of advertisement for all video games analogy. If you are in the gaming industry and want to advertise your product, get in touch with the producer, because they might make a sequel.
Terrible...

2017 | Action/Adventure
With just ten minutes to go I was convinced What Remains of Edith Finch was going to be one of the very best games this year.I’m still absolutely enamoured of its characters,setting,atmosphere,attention to detail,and the great bulk of its narrative.

Fantastic story
Amazing game
This is such an amazing game. With a fantastic story and great characters it really keeps you interested. The gameplay is great and it definitely keeps you on your toes wondering what will happen next. The graphics are beautiful and just exploring the different areas is a lot of fun. Overall, worth playing.

Frequently used
YouTube gets used frequently enough in my house that my 18 month old recognizes the icon ? My husband likes to watch gaming video and a few farmers that keep video blogs. My son loves the music videos and shorts you can find from Sesame Street.
While I understand that a free app is free because of commercials, I wish they would STOP with the commercials that are actually 45 minute DIY shows and whatnot.

Great gateway game
This is a great gateway into the world of boardgaming.
Fun, Easy to learn, infinitely replayable and lots of expansions to change it up.
This is a great way to get into tabletop gaming as there's some strategy involved without being too heavy or serious,
There are many ways to win and this keeps you guessing until final scoring at the end.
A minute to learn but a lifetime to master.
