The controls are intuitive and the gameplay is deep — the special attacks and properties of each tower work together to provide many ways to succeed. * [b]High Replayability[/b] There are approximately 8 hours of gameplay in the main storyline, and many hours of play in challenge modes that give players unique starting conditions and objectives.

As the levels progress, the enemies become tougher and more difficult to defeat. * [b]20 Unique Levels[/b] Defense Grid: The Awakening has 20 unique environments, each with a different placement of roads, tower build locations, and open areas to plan a strategy around. * [b]Numerous Tower Options and Upgrades[/b] There are 10 different tower types with 3 levels of capability each. Each tower has unique trade offs that affect ideal placement, such as line-of-sight attack or ballistic trajectory fire. Some towers improve other nearby towers, and some are ideal at specific locations, such as a rear guard tower that unleashes a devastating attack. * [b]Steam Achievements[/b] Successfully completing each level provides a bronze achievement award. Additional goals provide silver and gold awards for a particular level. A novice player may be able to survive the onslaught, but only an experienced player will be able to get all of the gold achievements. [Hidden Path] | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| Portal 2 | Valve;EA Partners (Valve) | 2011 | Probablemente el mejor juego de puzzle de la historia, superando en mucho a la ya de por sí soberbia primera entrega en todos los aspectos: jugabilidad, argumento y rejugabilidad infinita (con las pantallas de la Workshop). Cave Johnson aporta el punto final para el 10. Imprescindible, si el Portal hablase diría "I'm proud of you son" 10 de 10***Portal 2 draws from the award-winning formula of innovative gameplay, story, and music that earned the original Portal over 70 industry accolades and created a cult following. The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game. The game’s two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively. Product Features * Extensive single player: Featuring next generation gameplay and a wildly-engrossing story. * Complete two-person co-op: Multiplayer game featuring its own dedicated story, characters, and gameplay. * Advanced physics: Allows for the creation of a whole new range of interesting challenges, producing a much larger but not harder game. * Original music. * Massive sequel: The original Portal was named 2007's Game of the Year by over 30 publications worldwide.

| SOMA | Frictional Games | 2015 | This is a sci-fi horror game from the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It is an unsettling story about identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human. The radio is dead, food is running out, and the machines have started to think they are people. Underwater facility PATHOS-II has suffered an intolerable isolation and we’re going to have to make some tough decisions. What can be done? What makes sense? What is left to fight for? Enter the world of SOMA and face horrors buried deep beneath the ocean waves. Delve through locked terminals and secret documents to uncover the truth behind the chaos. Seek out the last remaining inhabitants and take part in the events that will ultimately shape the fate of the station. But be careful, danger lurks in every corner: corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots, and even an inscrutable omnipresent A.I. You will need to figure out how to deal with each one of them. Just remember there’s no fighting back, either you outsmart your enemies or you get ready to run. In Dec/2017, a Safe Mode option was added for players not to get attacked by monsters as the most popular fan mod was a similar "Wuss Mode".*** [100]*** [12]***[spoiler=Show monster mechanics;Hide]Several of the monsters operate via odd sensory system where they account for Sound for noticing you in places where they don't have line of sight to, but their primary method of actually detecting is You detecting them. In effect, you can avoid them by going into a corner where they won't likely walk into, and turning to stare at the wall. It doesn't matter if you're in plain sight, because it's Your sight that matters. It's like they're remotely jacking in o your vision. You can even just happily walk past them as long as you don't look at them At All. This works only on early monsters, the later ones have their faculties properly attached.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Show spoiler tag info;Hide]Sound cues – required because you're not allowed to actually Look at the monsters much, but you have to judge their position and intentions based on the sounds they make.[/spoiler] Soma may refer to somatotropin, a growth hormone produced by human pituitary gland which promotes cell reproduction and regeneration.***[media=youtube]syhcF0Mx0j0[/media] | Windows | labelimagesubject |

Cons: -Too many quick-time moments. -At the end, only shows some choices: showing all the picks by the player will add a lot more of replayability. 7 of 10 | Android | labelimageminimize |
