Quick Reviews: XCOM 2, Prey, Danger Zone, Turmoil, Dawn of War 3 | Ten Second Reviews
26Steam Summer Sale edition of Ten Second Reviews! Raff gets to grips with XCOM 2, Prey, Danger Zone, Turmoil, Soul Reaver, Dawn of War 3. All of these games (bar Danger Zone) are heavily discounted in this year's Steam Summer Sale, so grab 'em while they're hot.
Just in time for the #SteamSummerSale, another quickfire round of review. No point making full reviews of these games. But snap judgments? Can do!
XCOM 2. I'm too old! Even reading guides, setting the game to rookie, it's too hard for me. Great game; I loved Enemy Unknown on the 360 but I had to throw in the towel. XCOM 2 beat me. XCOM 2 is currently £11 in the 2017 Steam Summer Sale.
Prey. Weird review this. I loved the game, but it went on and on. I kept thinking I was near the end, only to be bamboozled. Couldn't find the end and when I did I was undwerwhelmed. Great gameplay though. Prey is currently £26 in the 2017 Steam Sale.
Danger Zone is the "crash simulator" bit from Burnout 3 on the PS2. If it was an EA game we'd all be furious. But it's from the original Burnout developers so Danger Zone is getting a free pass. There's not enough content to call this a full game. If it was in the Steam Sale this year then I'd suggest getting it. But it's not, so don't bother.
I found Turmoil buried in my Steam list after getting it in a Humble Bundle. Great game, wish I'd played it sooner! Not as punishing as other tycoon games, Turmoil is really fun. Turmoil is 50% and weighing in at three and a half quid in the Summer Steam Sale this year, so you'd be mad not to get it.
Matty did a video this week about revisiting Soul Reaver (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSAqn2sSD-Q). We both love that game so we've both been replaying it. Don't bother with the Blood Omen games just get stuck right into Soul Reaver. It's one of the best games you'll ever play. When you consider the first two Soul Reaver games are 80% off for the nest few days, you can pick them up for a quid apiece in the Steam Summer Sale. DO IT!
Remember The Walking Dead games from Telltale? Yeah I saw my girlfriend playing them so there's that. The good news is that the entire series is up to 75% off in the #SteamSummerSale this year.
Dawn of War 3. We waited a long time for this. I played the first two. We recently spoke about Warhammer 40,000 games not quite being up there with the best (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKImW7ZO318). Dawn of War 3 sort of proves my point. Nothing really wrong with it, just not for me. It's £30 in the Steam Summer Sale if you're interested.
