What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
For those interested in playing Tempest, I found in the Steam discussions that you need to go into the settings on the main menu and turn down the mouse sensitivity, and the game plays great.
The other is that many of these titles and their gameplay philosophy have been improved upon by indie dev's.
When it comes to quality on a player-by-player basis, you will need a reasonably powerful machine -- CPU, graphics card, sound card, and RAM are the focus I'm getting at.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 4 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
