Hi guys, I need to write reviews for all the titles below, sooner or later, I'd like you to suggest me 3 titles to play from the list below.
Criteria should be (ordered from more to less important):

  • completion speed (or at least how much time does it take to have a good grasp of the game)
  • technical quality, like bugs, audio and video quality (doesn't matter if old or new), game mechanics
  • actual enjoyment
  • preferably single player games
  • not already played (already played games are marked with a *)

* Darksiders
Darksiders II
Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition
* Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut
Deponia
* Gothic II: Gold
Hitman: Blood Money
Hitman: Absolution
Huntsman The Orphanage
Magicka
Medieval II: Total War
MURDERED: SOUL SUSPECT™
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Need for Speed Undercover
Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed
* Nuclear Dawn
* Payday 2
PixelJunk™ Shooter
Shelter
System Shock 2
The Binding of Isaac
* The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim® Legendary Edition
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
* The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition
Thief
Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers
To the Moon
Valkyria Chronicles
Vanguard Princess
Velocibox
* Worms Armageddon

EDIT2: So far I'll have "Vanguard Princess", "Velocibox", "Deponia", "To the Moon" and "Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers", that should take quite some time :/ Thank you for the suggestions.

Maplestory

And for the topic:

I suggest payday 2 (co-op game and can be hundreds of hours) and to the moon (story game 4 hours)
I enjoyed to the moon and payday (seems like you've played payday already)

BTW are you writing reviews cuz it's ur job or for fun?

Thank you for the suggestion about "To the Moon", 4h would definitely do it considering it's a good game.

I'm writing reviews to get some credit on GMG.

MapleStory is awesome and at that same time one of the worst mmorpg. Everything because Nexon don't know two things:
a) Glitches and bugs should be fixed
b) Optimisation - game is starting several minutes, every time opening world map or quest log make your game freeze for several second. God dammit this is fu***** 2D game even if it have many elements it still should work much better.
Not to mention World Record with the biggest ammount of trash that you collecting in inventory or many things that you can't assign to the hotkeys. You can't spam by opening items. Especially this is bad for R box. After 2 hours of play you get 300 R box and all of them you have to open by double clicking on them and what is worse you have to wait two second to open next box because of the anti spam system >.>
I really want to play this game, but it have too many little annoying things that after many hours of playing I want to throw my pc throught the window.

But Nexon don't do anything about that because why should they fix that if many people playing it and in the future they will release MapleStory2 with ugly minecraft graphics because that should bring more casual players (kids that love minecraft).

Maplestory WAS a great game, nexon ruined it and yea now you have more boxes and windows of things than the game itself.
You get used to grind somewhere and a week later nexon removes it.

If you have somebody to coop with, I'd suggest Magicka (sequel is coming out soon too). It's quite short but fun.

Medieval Total War is the joyful strategy:

=
I haven't mention any bugs while I was playing,but it's quite old
=you can enjoy it if u play strategy games,especially not RTS but turn-based

I'd like to know how much time does "The Binding of Isaac" take to "complete" or at least to have a good grasp of the game.

To The Moon is good, short and without bug. But it's not a game.

Hitman: Absolution is good if you didn't play the others one, and if you don't want a really hard infiltration game (it took me 11 hours to finish)
Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers I don't know why I liked that game. But I liked it. And it only took me 5h to finish.
Velocibox is not a good runner IMH. Super Hexagon, VVVVVV Super Gravitron, and BosonX are way better.

Also, I'm a drunk and tired french, so excuse if nothing I just said made sense.

I'll probably take Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers and Velocibox (it should take not much to get a grasp of it).
About hitman, I'm ok with stealth games, actually it's probably one of genres I like the most, but I'll pass for now because absolution doesn't run on linux with wine (because of DX11) and I don't want to install MS Windows just to "try" one game.

Thank you for the suggestions anyway, much appreciated.

Credit on GMG? How?

I think it unlocks when you buy something 5€ (maybe?) or so on their store.
You send them reviews for games you played, reviews get moderated from GMG staff, and usually within a week or so you either get credit from your reviews (pretty much like playfire rewards work for achievements) or your review gets discarded. I don't remember how much you get for each review, but you know, why not?
Since reviews get moderated, you have to write "actual" reviews, which takes some time, things like "liked it" or "good game, totally recommended" won't work.

I see. That's cool! Too bad I can't spend real money in there, but I sure did buy a lot with playfire credit! Thank you for the response!

You get also VIP deals for newly released games btw, which are the very best deals for newly released games on any store (Pillars of eternity at 30€, Cities skylines at 20€, GTAV 47€ and so on). Not to mention that you can use GMG credit on those titles too.

I have to say I really like GMG and I bought (or obtained with GMG credit) quite a lot of games from them.

You just need an account for the vip deals. It really is a great store, but as I said, I have no way of spending actual money in there. So I'll just wait until I get enough credits lol

Deus Ex is the best game on that list by a lot. It has a lot of mechanics to learn and is pretty long, but it fits all your other criteria.

Deponia is a game you either love or hate and you'll know which one very quickly. It fits all your other criteria nicely, so if it's your kind of game, it meets every criteria.

Vanguard Princess is very short and I was able to beat it in under an hour. I wouldn't recommend it on an enjoyment standpoint, but since that's further down your list than time to beat and technical quality... I guess get it out of the way?

I know deus ex is good, I never played it as a kid but everyone praised it. I'll get to play it when I will have less "unfinished" games on my playlist, I usually like to play and finish at least major games and right now I have skyrim to complete.

I'll take a look at deponia and well, didn't know vanguard princess was that short, that will probably be my first entry, thank you for the suggestions.
