Pros
Amazing multiplayer game, really simple but works well. It's like a solitaire race between friends.

Cons
If there are only a few players, occasionally the game pace can slow right down and even, on the rare occasion, lock up (due to there not being many moves to make) - would be good to see the devs add something to mitigate this, perhaps allowing the player to burn a card to get the flow going again.

Overall, fantastic - really pleased I found this. My friends and I have had a lot of fun so far.

Pokemon Snap crossed with a surreal children's storybook.

Really fantastic little game - very chilled and calming! It has a progression mechanic where you unlock new abilities and areas, which means you'll be revisiting old places to find new secrets metroidvania style. One of the devs also popped by and said hello on my stream as I played through.

Although it's a fairly short game, I've enjoyed every minute and it doesn't outstay it's welcome! I'm almost done - still looking forward to unravelling the secrets of the park.

Really happy I bought this.

Warning: This game is hugely complex, and incredibly unfriendly to new players.

That being said, it's the Dark Souls of shooters. Tough to learn, even tougher to master. You want to look at your map, and it's night time? You better have a torch, or stand underneath a streetlamp. You want to find your way to a checkpoint? I hope you like orientating yourself via a real-life static map - as in, piece of paper.

Once you get past that and accept those quirks - and many more - though, it's strangely addictive.

Pros
-Once you get the hang of it, it becomes rewarding and deep.
- Graphics are really pretty
- Tons of content

Cons
- There are inbuilt buttons to speed up the game, for when you're walking miles in realtime... let that sink in
- Hotkeys for everything - players on smaller keyboards might have massive rebinding to do
- If you want to get good you're going to have to sink in some serious time, but that could be a pro if you're into that.

Worth it?
Yeah! I'd get it on sale with some DLC. Apparently the Apex pack is the one to get.

Fantastic hidden gem of a co-op game. But wait, I've only got 3 hours gameplay?!

SO MUCH RAGE QUITTING.

I can only take it in short bursts, as the internal fury at my online partner builds when they misplace their tiny robot feet, Lucky, the feeling is mutual.

Pros
- Great aesthetic - similar to a Nintendo game
- Unique Gameplay - moving a foot with each joystick.
- Well designed puzzles that are continually surprising

Cons
- Can only play in short bursts
- In each "world" only one level (of three) are themed. The other two are in a portal-like training ground. The themed levels are amazing, but a bit dissappointing that there aren't more

Worth it?
Yes, I had a lot of fun, and will continue play on-and-off!

Short and sweet, similar to PS2 platformers like Jak and Daxter, and Ratchet and Clank. Don't expect anything amazing - average graphics and animations, and the voice acting is a little grating. However the gameplay is good, I had it on in the background whilst I watched YouTube, and had fun.

I was desperate for a new monkey ball game - however the bosses completely ruin this for me. Instead of being fun, they're incredibly frustrating when combined with a dodgy camera that's fixed behind you.

If you're looking for a good Monkey Ball game, try Tower Unite - that has more functionality, more levels, better controls, and is multiplayer.

Lots of slashing rats, with Diablo style loot rolls thrown in. Really fun - seeing the different scenarios play out is a spectacle.

If you ever wanted to be spider-man trapped inside a Windows 98 fever dream, this is for you.
