TL:DR I do recommend it for fans of succubus but I will go into more detail below.

The Elysian Fields DLC for Succubus is a fairly okay DLC, It feels a little more polished than the others but this could be because of a few reasons.
Elysian Fields is basically the Succubus version of Vampire Survivors, you run around killing endless enemies until you are ready to fight the boss, you then summon the boss and hopefully kill him, You then want to pick up their heart and use it on the next run to activate a shrine that is always spawned behind you so that you can kill the guardians there and unlock a new loadout for the game mode. In this mode they are called skins that stand on plinths next to the hub portal and come with weapons and magic loadouts.

The good:
- The map is vibrant and bright, this is not the usual for this game and it really felt like a nice breath of fresh air, With nicely coloured sakura trees and interesting environment art.
- It runs well and loads quickly on my system atleast.
- I noticed very few actual problems, The game doesn't crash and the actual trigger events all work. The upgrades all work.
- Difficulty seems to curve quite well, I had little issue getting through every one of the 5 levels.

The middling:
- The upgrades are largely uninspired and the upgrade menu often visually collides with the sky making text ineligible
- The objectives are both always in the same location with little (no?) change at all in the environment.
- The skin choices are all a bit boring but this is personal opinion.
- Every time you complete the camp to unlock a skin she sais the exact same line.

The bad:
- There are significant collision problems with the trees on the map, Most of them have bounding boxes well beyond their model and so the player collides with them constantly,. as some are positioned into little groves this will often lead to player death.
- There are only 5 levels with familiar bosses and all of them are present on the fairly small new Elysian fields map. This isn't a huge complaint but normally roguelikes have some element of variation or randomness per run.
- The tutorial dissapeared as it opened so tbh i wasn't exactly sure what i was doing.
- The exit portal is one way for some reason, sometimes you have to walk around the back of it to get out of a mission which in a clutch situation can mean death.

Adult content:
- It has none outside of the visuals and mature themes.

In closing, it is fairly decent and if you are a fan of the game, at only a few bucks you really should pick it up for some extra little content. Thank you for letting me post a review no one will read <3

Meh

It's a low quality asset grab.

I got my key from a friend who works on the game but... It's a bit rubbish isn't it?

Like visually it is stunning and there is tonnes to look at but, Why is it always online? Why do I need to connect to their server? Why does it feel so... boring?

Helldivers 2 is a fairly decent game, It requires a bit of work, it is fairly bare atm but it is an enjoyable experience, the combat and animations and sounds are all incredibly well polished however.

I don't personally really enjoy it as it turns out, I think it's a bit bland and nothing is really gripping me. I can see why people like it but I never much liked payday or vermintide or darktide either and this really follows the same gameplay loop. a pretend campaign isn't going to help in that regard either.

I dunno, It seems to be a cross between valheim and Zelda. I don't like either of those games all that much so sadly it's probably not for me.

They shipped an incomplete game that ultimately was a confused mess due to their design shift in late development.
They probably fixed many of these issues.
They then launched a DLC they call "Pay to continue update". I don't have a problem with this in essence but considering the game was awful as a base they should probably have made it a free big revival update akin to ARR or something.

Nah.

Edit: Game is abandonware





This game is quite literally just a version of stellaris with themed Star Trek changes and a couple interesting additions to unlock iconic features of the shows like Terak Nor or alternativer timeline concepts like a unified strong cardassia that never lost Bajor. (I have only played the Cardassians so far).
The pros of the game are that then, That it is stellaris which they always said it would be and they have done some really nice mechanics for the four main factions including the wonderful mission origin like system. There are some glaring cons though.

The map feels a bit... unfinished. and the game doesn't really "flow" too well. Some of the voice acting is in fact atrocious especially for the faction leader voices and a lot of the sound effects are still the same as Stellaris.

I think the game needs quite a bit of polish and a whole load more development before it is really a must buy for any star trek fan especially considering there are very large star trek overhauls for Stellaris already. But I tentatively say as it is only 25 squids that you pick up the game in the hope the devs are allowed to keep working on it. Hell it's stellaris so any feature from stellaris could end up in this as a free update?

I hope for the future of this game.

This used to be a positive review as I had some fun when I first played but since then:

- The game has lost any semblance of balance.

- Due to the nature of the game and it's resource system, Once behind the ability to make a comeback relies on the enemy making a mistake and not your own competence.
Even on such an occasion they likely have such a sizable resource pool compared to yours that they will sweep back forward to any place you managed to make ground and kick you back into the dirt.

- Unlike most RTS that try to immerse you in your faction, They're all just the same thing with different stats. The two Axis factions are just entirely better than their Allies counterparts.

- The game feels rough to play, Like slow and clunky.

Basically it's not a very good game, They focused too much on some wierd kind of esport vibe it feels like just like they did with DoW 3 which they also abandoned.
I cannot recommend this game.

I dunno why there isn't a more middling review option, like an informational that doesn't impact the scores.

Would I, That being ME recommend this game? no. I don't really enjoy it though i thought I might. Like divinity it just doesn't grab my brain.

everything about it looks pretty good, it is apparently very true to D&D. I don't play D&D so. Maybe it's not for those of us not that into those particular RPGs?
