Really fun with friends and leads to a lot of funny moments. From fun items to scary enemies I really do like it- Wish there was a FOV setting though!

A very relaxing game with a nice story, and NPCs that I grew fond of.
There's a decent amount to do compared to other farming sim games, and a good pool of characters to romance or befriend.
The art style I fell in love with, as it's fresh and refreshing every time I open it to play it.
Plus, you can play with your friends... mining, fighting and farming is even more fun with more people!

queen go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Adds a unique and interesting touch to your PC, and makes it look a little bit more cool!
They have a little of everything, tons of great user-made wallpapers, and also you can make your own with whatever image/etc you'd like too if you're on the creative side! Audio reactive wallpapers are my favorite!
Don't really notice it taking much CPU, or anything like that, and runs in the background just fine while I'm broswing the web, watching things, listening to music AND gaming!

I started this game because you can play as a cat.
I ended up wanting to keep playing because the interesting world, it's inhabitants, and this little tabby's adventure!

From the beautiful environments (which are so fun to explore, climb on, and all felt like their own unique places that still fit into the world) to the charming design of the other side characters and NPCS (the world felt full when it needed to, thanks to the little side conversation npcs), I really felt pulled into this game. The cat is phenomenal, and the interactions everyone has with each other and our little kitty friend was very wholesome. A short story, but a compelling one that I wanted to see through to the end.

I even let the little dude sleep in game for an hour to get the little achievement, but it was nice to see the panning out scenery of whichever place I was in. ACTUALLY, you can just do many cat things, which I loved doing. Scratching was one of my favorite things to do, and I was glad you could just.. be a cat!!

Definitely play if you love cats, cute robots, small puzzle gameplay and enjoy a linear story that's very interesting.

Fishing, Doing Side Quests, Trying to save your sister.
You can use a lance AND magic?! It's sick

Edit After Finishing Ending A:
Amazing game. I loved every moment playing it, honestly.
Between the characters I ended up attached to (main or not) and their stories, the environments of each area, the INCREDIBLE soundtrack, and the story that seemed to throw something new at me every time, I was entirely invested in NieR: Replicant. Knowing this is only the first ending and I can find out more, or just have a reason to replay it, is really a treat as I really enjoyed my first play through. The combat was also really fun! I loved experimenting with new styles of fighting through magic and weapons, and I really liked some of the boss design. This game explores a lot of different styles itself, so each area felt super fresh and I liked the stories of the main and side quests! Lots to do.

Anyways, I super recommend, especially if you play other games in this genre. I played it completely blind while my partner who had played the original NieR: Gestalt watched, and it was enjoyable for us both. So if it's a nostalgia grab or you might be interested, I'd snag it!

HunieCam. A spin off of the HuniePop series, and overall a clicker game in nature.
If you enjoyed HunieCam, which is a puzzle (like candy crush?) like game with lots of waifus to persue, then you'll like this.
Yes, this is just a clicker game, but there is challenge to it as well and many new girls to look at and use.
To me this game is just as interesting as the normal game, even though you don't have much interaction with the girls in your used to in the first game. Definitely play it if you're looking for a good time killer, or you like games that have slight challenge, but no real plot.

Pros
----
Entertaining
Replayibility
Many Different Characters (Familiar & New)
Trophies to Work For
You Still Have Unlockable CG (One per girl, mildly NSFW)
Endless Mode Past The Intial 22 Days

Cons
----
Because Clicker Game, No interactions with girls beyond checking their stats / giving them jobs.
One Soundtrack Song plays continuously, you can get past it if you don't mind it too much.

9 dragons is way too many

Dead by Daylight is a very fun and interesting horror game that has enjoyable multiplayer with both friends and randoms. Playing both the killer and survivors can be very rewarding and lead to a lot of different gameplay experiences.
The only problem I've run into is the way this game in particular is riddled with bugs and glitches, though the devs seem to always be updating and fixing the game to solve these issues, both with balance and game breaking problems. They always also keep content updated, keeping a fresh enviornment for new and old players alike.

Pros
- Interesting gameplay concept
- Fun multiplayer game, even with randoms.
- Realized maps and characters, all with their own, unique abilities.
- Updated content and fixes regularly
- Spooky (Is this really a pro??)

Cons
- Buggy / Game glitches
- Repetitive multiplayer (though that doesn't bother me)

2024 Updated Pros/Cons Additions
My main review remains the same to me, as I feel the same way about DBD since then.

Pros
- Love the survivor and killer character/concepts, even if there's lots of non original IPs
- Lots of people are always playing this game so even if you didn't get it before it has a thriving community of players, both killers and (lots of) survivor players, content creators, etc.

Cons
- While I said in 2016 that you could enjoy playing with even randoms, sometimes you can have a subpar experience if you're not skilled at the game (for both killer and survivor gameplay) or even face light toxicity. Mostly enjoyable & Still playable but the most fun for me currently playing survive with friends (even if with just ONE other person)
- Some characters just won't get many cosmetics or attention no matter how much you like them.
- Feels like characters sometimes are more like a skin, some perks end up being useless or considered not viable or even overlap other existing perks in the game. I think unless you care about "meta" perk builds, you can just equip whatever you want for your play style and roll with it, though, which is what I do personally and is a soft pro for me.

Basketball is suffering.
