Beautiful zen little puzzler with a wonderfully relaxing soundtrack. Great vibes, an excellent way to spend a comfy evening winding down.

Scratches the combo strategy itch in the same way Into the Breach does, another game I absolutely love. Really looking forward to sinking more and more hours into this game.

GOTY material and it doesn't cost a dime

Strongly dislike the recent balance patch that makes it such that you might as well AFK after you die. I don't care about farming materials for the crappy cosmetics, I want to not feel useless if I die first in a round.

Kinda fun, but it's unfortunately riddled with performance issues, just like Automata but without any mod fixes available yet. In addition, the gameplay hasn't aged very well; even though it bears similarities to its successor it's markedly much less fun to me. I'll probably finish it once someone's developed mods to fix the horrible framerate problems; the story's interesting if only because I want to know more about Automata's backstory.

Don't bother with this. The game has a lot of great ideas, but absolutely none of them are executed to any kind of degree that would make them enjoyable. The district system, while a nice idea, is executed incredibly poorly such that city-building feels like a chore (that is game-ending if your plan gets upended by an unlucky strategic resource spawn) rather than an interesting optimization. Honestly, as much as Civ6 simps will froth and fawn over the district system, it's honestly the worst part of the game and only serves to shrink the feel of the map and make cities feel less useful.

I recommend playing Civ IV or V instead- the Vox Populi and Community Balance Patch mods for V will basically give you nearly everything you want out of VI, in a game that actually is fun to play.

As a side note, the new 2K launcher is adware and bloatware. Avoid it like the plague. It's a shame that all Firaxis titles will be infected with it now.

Too many bugs. Game's fun, with interesting and innovative ideas for an XCOM game, but half-baked with little to no QC. My current ironman campaign is soft-locked due to a bug where the waves of reinforcements I'm supposed to fight first crashed the game, and then upon reloading, never arrive thus meaning I can neither complete the mission nor reload from the beginning of the mission.

This is a great little game and one of the best uses of the Early Access system out there. I backed this game back in its alpha days and haven't been disappointed yet. The devs listen to feedback and are constantly updating and tweaking the game. I wholeheartedly recommend.

EDIT: The new SFX and music are amazing! Such a peaceful game, if you really want something nice and calm but still want to excersice your problem-solving skills, I can't recommend Mini Metro enough.

This game is still EXTREMEMLY incomplete for something that's supposed to be out of "Early Access." The menus are laggy, the weapons are unbalanced, and I can't play for five minutes without getting disconnected from the server for no reason. I'm glad that I was gifted this game, because this is NOT worth the five dollars the devs are asking for an underdeveloped game.

This was the most beautiful game I've ever played. The story, the gameplay, the characters- they mesh so well! The gameplay feels smooth and successfully executing a set of planned moves is very satisfying. The end of the story was incredibly thought-provoking.

I highly recommend!
