Pros:
Very good rhythm game overall.
Songs are well-mapped
Very well polished in a lot of areas.
Most songs are keysounded, which makes playing them feel a lot nicer.
Lots of very nice original songs made for DJMax from previous games.

Cons:
Most of the previously mentioned original songs are only availeable as overpriced DLC
Always online. If the servers ever go down for good, you no longer own this game.
Xingcode 3 anti-cheat and DRM, extremely invasive.
Base-game has an arguably low amount of songs for the price.
Regional pricing has made buying the game and/or the DLCs in some countries a good way to not be able to pay rent.


I want to recommend this game, it's been very fun, but it's really hard to look at Neowiz and just not think they're being greedy.
DJMax Trilogy was originally the game that got me way back into rhythm games a long long time ago, so this franchise does meet a lot to me, and unfortunately it has always been like this. It's just a bit sad, really. Worth noting you can't easily play DJMax Trilogy legally anymore, due to that game's DRM, and it wasn't even always-online.

If you must try DJMax Respect V, try it on XBox's Game Pass, if you have the chance.


But in the end, I can't say DJMax Respect V is worth buying. Maybe I'm just poor and DJMax is just that fancy restaurant I can't afford, the one where the food tastes good partly because it's nicely cooked and partly because you spent 80 bucks on that dish, so really you *have* to enjoy it.

Home Alone is the story of 8-year-old Kevin (Macaulay Culkin), a mischievous middle child who feels largely ignored by his large extended family. While preparing for a Christmas vacation in Paris, Kevin gets in trouble, is banished to the attic overnight, and wishes his family would just disappear. Kevin gets his wish the next morning when his family mistakenly leaves him behind. At first, Kevin is elated -- but pretty soon he realizes that being home alone isn't all it's cracked up to be. He misses his mom (who employs any and every means of getting home to her son) and even his bully brother. With all the block's other families on vacation, too, Kevin has no one to turn to, including the cops, who assume he's up to his usual tricks. Meanwhile, a pair of bumbling burglars played by Joe Pesci (Goodfellas, Lethal Weapon 2-4) and Daniel Stern takes advantage of the situation by pillaging the neighborhood. It's up to Kevin to defend his home, using every prank in his well-stocked arsenal. A bevy of violent, slapstick, wince-inducing episodes ensues, resulting in Kevin successfully foiling the bad guys' plans.

This is a good-natured, albeit unrealistic, family film that both kids and adults will enjoy if they're OK with the violence, profanity, and disrespectful behavior within the family. Its endearing story and a charming performance by Culkin make Home Alone a standout among the usual holiday movie fare. Without resorting to the all-too-adult double entendres that dominate current family films, this one focuses more on slapstick humor and innocence to convey its story. That said, that reliance on slapstick humor does means it's chock full of semirealistic violence. It's not for the weak-stomached and definitely requires some major suspension of disbelief.

Home Alone's runaway success was due largely to its players, most notably Culkin. Previously cast in supporting roles in movies such as Rocket Gibraltar and Uncle Buck, Culkin is Home Alone's main attraction. Saddled with the difficult task of appearing in nearly every scene, he maintains a level of consistency that's a testament to both his talent and that of director Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Mrs. Doubtfire). Catherine O'Hara (Best in Show, SCTV) does a fine (albeit a tad shrill) job as Kevin's overwrought, guilt-ridden mom, and Pesci and Stern have great chemistry and handle the physical comedy with aplomb. Another performance of note is John Candy's cameo as Polka Band Shuttle Chief Gus Polanski. Although his role is brief, he nearly steals the show.

Great ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game yet again by Supergiant Games Studios, been searching for a game that makes me tear up, here it is, please buy and please play.

The Beginner's Guide is one of those few walking simulators that are good. Pretty good story and actually interesting to go through.
Worth buying, worth your time.

The campaign was fun. Basically can't play anything else sadly.

Speedrunners is a really fun, really fast paced 2D racing game that's absolutely worth your money and your time. Specially if you've got mates to play it with.
Worth buying full budget, worth your time.

game is so good 4/5th of the negative reviews are memes
