First Impressions: Pixlemon (Minecraft Mod Pack)

Well, what can I say? A merging between Pokémon and Minecraft? (I'll just let that sink in...)

First Impressions: Tomb Raider

This Tomb Raider reboot re-imagines the origin story of Lara Croft and portrays here as a scared young woman (with surprising acrobatic skills) who is stranded on a desert island with her crew after trying to find the mysterious kingdom of Yamatai and getting shipwrecked. Without giving to much away, the next scene involves a tomb... obviously.

App Review No. 57 Everlands

Strong Points:
Nice, clean graphics
Strategic gameplay
Easy to learn, hard to master
Good storyline adds to the depth of the game
Hexagons are a good shape for the tiles (not too easy, not too hard)
Duel Mode adds more content
Animals are an innovative idea for fighters
Each animal has a specific power and strategy
The AI is quite good

Weak Points:
Multiplayer Mode (Duel Mode) isn't great
Some of the writing is bad (grammar and spelling-wise)
Some animals are overpowered
Some animals are underpowered
Some of the animals' attack directions (while working in favour of their real life physiques) can be really bad for their ability

First Impressions: Space Engineers

This is a game that I was waiting the whole Steam Summer Sale for. The main reason was that it would stop my friend from continuously bugging me to get it but the second reason was that it looked cool. And I wasn't wrong on either point (thankfully). Also, sorry about all the brackets (I got a bit carried away!)

First Impressions: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

One of the many games I got from the Steam Summer Sale was Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve's version of Call of Duty, Battlefield, Medal of Honor, Killzone, Titanfall and... You get the idea. Anyway, the game's good.
