- Mouse and keyboard support might be broken or non-existent...? Figured I should lead with that. I played back-and-forth with a Xbox controller and Steam Deck. It seems like a good game for the latter!

I got this game on sale for $4 and at that price, it's incredible and I highly recommend it!

However, if I had paid full price, I might be just a little disappointed by the simplicity of the "puzzles" if you can even call them that. The game presents a fairly large mansion to explore, but the actual objectives are unfortunately very linear. Once you enter a new area, just look for whatever two new things you haven't seen before, and try to use one with the other. That'll solve more than half of the mysteries, and the late game ones are just a matter of random chance whether you happen to find and remember a specific piece of dialogue or find some specific room somewhere in the mansion. It's not that I wish the game was more difficult per-say, but I do wish the mysteries required deduction and problem solving on behalf of the player, and less on just stumbling into things at the right time.

The reason I'm complaining so much on a "thumbs up" review is because this game could have been so much more and I feel like the developers were hoping for that too. The game presents some really creative mechanics, visuals, sound/music, etc. If it leaned a bit more into being a free-form sandbox with a story you could uncover in your own way, then it would be a perfect game in my opinion. In short, I'd love to see a sequel or spiritual successor utilize these game mechanics to greater effect.

With all that said, I could see $20 being a perfectly fair price for someone who is really into the aesthetic, story, and characters. But I personally arrived here on my quest to find a timeloop game with freeform exploration and game mechanics that can compare to the likes of Outer Wilds, and I haven't found it yet unfortunately. Sexy Brutale is one of the better games I've discovered during this timeloop game quest, but I'm starting to doubt I'll ever find a game where every element perfectly converges again.

P.S. Be aware of spoilers. This game has a crazy Shyamalan twist at the end.

It's simple, and it's fun. There are some downgrades from Splitgate 1 as other reviews are quick to point out, but I always factor in a game's price with my reviews and it's hard to beat free. I love Splitgate for having the perfect combination of competitive and casual gameplay. I can get serious and play the objective, or be silly and play with portals and trickshots. It's fun either way.

Ironically, the previous game's detailed cosmetic customization which let you change specific armor pieces would give us more incentive to spend money on microtransactions. This time, you can seemingly only buy full-body skins with no customization. The new additions, mainly class specific items and powerups, are interesting but nothing ground-breaking.

Slow but highly satisfying "city builder type" game with much more emphasis on landscaping and logistics than actually building a city. Great gameplay and great style; highly recommended!

Very disappointed by the lack of controller support. Seemed like this would be a good local split screen game, but it's not playable for that purpose.

This is what video games are all about. It is weird and gross, but the cartoony artstyle keeps it from being unpleasantly gross. The world is silly and ridiculous, yet I find myself engaged enough to take the time to talk to every NPC and explore each level's details. It strikes a perfect balance between creativity and gameplay. Levels are incredibly fun to re-play, and I found myself unlocking new shoes [powerups] long before I reached the endgame for that reason. My only complaint is that the game is very badly optimized and barely playable on a Steam Deck, but this is more of a mouse & keyboard kind of game anyway. Highly recommended for anyone who would appreciate a fun arcade style shooter!

This game has the hype for a reason! It's pretty much required that you play with friends, and you will want to play with someone who has an idea of the basic mechanics since the game doesn't hold your hand at all, but besides those two factors everything about this is perfect for co-op shenanigans. The game is very creative, but also has really well-refined mechanics. It's technically a horror game, but you'll probably be laughing more often than afraid.

Probably the best multiplayer shooter ever made. It mixes all of the best elements from many different shooter genres, while excluding the worst [like micro-transactions.]

Great game, and plays much better than I expected it would on the OG Vive. Even plays great in a small space. Obviously an Index and a large play space would be better but this game is incredibly well-optimized for all play methods.

Great little game. It very much feels like a standalone version of a Skyrim mod made by only a couple people, but that's because it is. I've never played the mod myself though, and I went into this completely blind [which I'd highly recommend!]

This game is all about solving mysteries, talking to interesting characters, and choosing your words wisely. I went in expecting not much more than that but there's also a bit of combat and enemy evasion which kept me on my toes.

I did run into a couple bugs, but one was easily fixed by resetting the timeloop and another required me to look up a guide and backtrack to a old dialogue option missed in the beginning, but in the end this game was a very enjoyable experience which never dragged and always had something new to explore. It took me a little less than 8 hours to finish but every moment kept my interest and the multiple endings were fun to discover.

Pros: Yes! It lives up to the wonderment of the base game. New mechanics, new mysteries, etc. It's like a new planet but with even more "production value." You can tell a lot of time went into this and it's not just a DLC cash grab. In a way it feels like a whole new game with the new sound, music, visuals, etc, but in the best possible way.

Cons: At one point it becomes Amnesia-style hunted gameplay complete with minimal light and jumpscares. They are nice enough to include a coward mode ["reduced frights" mode in the settings] for those of us who don't like jumpscares, but I really feel that should have been the default. Also, the dark scary bits are REALLY dark, annoyingly so, even after going to the settings and maxing out the gamma. Since this is more or less one location and you can't run off to solve other mysteries when stuck, there can be a lot of backtracking and trial and error which is frustrating, but I was able to stick to it without cheating with guides which made it all the more satisfying to complete.

If you enjoyed the base game, don't hesitate to pick this up, even if you need coward mode like I do.
