  • story
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Get a story, a bit of leveling, but even without it, it is a good game.”
    • “I can recommend In Death, and I especially like Rec Room for the quests like Golden Trophy and Crimson Cauldron - the bow action in those is amazing and it's free!”
    • “They are more interested in putting new features in the newer quest version of this game than they are in actually finishing this game which has been around way longer.”
    • “Yes, it's a wave shooter with no story - but it's still fun.”
    • “Get a story, a bit of leveling, but even without it is a good game.”
