Doing third person parkour is hard, and this game gets it right. It's not 100% perfect, but you can't expect that from an indie game. And this game still gets regular updates, which is fantastic.

The gameplay itself is fine. But the map is trash and the live service aspect is horrible. Had a look at the shop for fun. Almost 30€ to look like Isaac Clarke from Dead Space? That tells you where their priorities lie. I don't see this game becoming good in the future.

The game is too janky in its current state. It definitely needs a lot more work before it becomes worth to play. Because it relies so heavily on ball possession detection, that system should be the most fleshed out, highest priority system in this game. Yet it feels like someone on the team spent a Friday afternoon implementing that system quickly before leaving for the weekend.

It just barely ever feels like you're actually in possession of the ball, and if you're just a few centimeters off, the player will completely ignore an incoming ball. Unless you're trying to chain a incoming pass into a shot, then the game will naturally make sure you and the ball are magically linked. But if your goalkeep passes you the ball and you do not align perfectly, that ball will roll past your legs.

The worst mechanic has to be dribbling tho. It's a essential mechanic in football but what's the point if you can dribble the ball away from the enemy but he just slides past where the ball was 5 minutes ago and boom you're falling on your butt, ball already en route to your goal. That is, if the game decided that you were in possession of the ball. If you weren't, you're just going to walk away from the ball (and this one's a coin-flip).

This game can absolutely be as much fun, if not more, than Rocket League. But it will take a lot of hard work (that I'm not seeing yet) to get there.

Basically Sonic but good.

Pros:

• Fast
  
• Cute character
  
• A combat system where you actually maintain speed

Cons:

• If they ever make a movie out of this, I don't see a part Jim Carrey could play

FACEMINER might be one of the most interesting clicker games out there. It's not about making numbers go so big that scientific notation is required, you have to be strategic in how you approach this game, because you can actually fail. And there are multiple failure conditions, so your choices in what to upgrade actually matter.

The presentation of this game is absolutely superb, it doesn't just look like Windows 95, it behaves how you'd expect a desktop to behave in regards to window management (dragging windows around, obscured windows coming back to top if you click on them etc.).

The only negative thing about this game is the price, which is a smidge too high considering how short it is and the limited replayability.

I will still recommend this game because it's a expertly crafted microverse you'll instantly get lost in.

I left some uranium behind someone's house and now it's constantly raining and the air is green. 10/10

I was a young kid when I last played these games properly. The remaster make it look the way I had imagined it look like back then.
The fact that there's ultrawide support alone deserves a positive review but there's also so much bonus content to peruse through (you definitely need to watch the noclip documentary that was released alongside this game).

I remember when they unlisted the Steam version for Soul Reaver 1 and the speculation that this obviously meant that a update or even a remaster was inbound "any day now". 1398 "any days now" later and we're finally here. I still don't fully believe this is real.

I like it a lot

This was my first time playing RDR1 and I cannot recommend it at all.
The port itself is great. Infuriatingly so actually. This is the type of quality I wish all of R*'s ports had. After ~14 years of R* telling us the code was so borked it wasn't worth to port to PC you wouldn't expect it to run this great.

There are 2 reasons why I do not recommend this, even if you've never played it:

1. RDR2 exists. In my opinion that is a much better game that makes it hard to play the inferior predecessor.
   
2. It is too expensive. This is honestly my main gripe. 50€ is insulting. It should be 20€ at most. If it had released at this price point I'd have nothing to complain. Even the previous point would be moot, as I think it would be ok to pay 20€ for a lesser game just to experience it for the first time on PC. This is pure greed and puts up another unnecessary barrier of entry to play this game.

It's kinda sad that in the genre of asymmetrical 4v1 games Dead By Daylight is the only one that's alive and well with an order of magnitude more players than its closest competition. As such, DBD gets away with some awful monetization practices.
But let's be honest, the ability to have Nic Cage be killed by the alien from Alien, or having Leon Kennedy face Pyramidhead is a uniquely enticing proposition.
Combine that with what I think is very fun gameplay and you've got a pretty pretty decent game.

I would recommend the game to new players, but be aware that you'll most likely have to spend additional money for new survivors/killers and cosmetics, as earning the in-game currency required for these is earned at a glacial pace.
