The gameplay mechanics are not bad.

I have way more fun running around and swinging than i did shooting (i spent more time using a knife than a gun.)

The writing in this game is... not very good. a very predictable story with multiple typos in the subtitles, and voice acting that was stilted you'd think all the Voicework was AI generated. I was not invested at all. Which is horribly dissapointing.

The enemies only have 1-2 lines of dialouge, and it's clear they're trying to do the thing in F.E.A.R. where the enemies say things to make them sound more intelligent. But, just dropping a weapon activates the "he doesn't have anything to shoot with." line.

I don't know why you can grab the ground, but attempting to pick anything up off the floor will make you pull yourself to the ground. I also got stuck in the hospital level trying to figure out how to climb through the vent, only to realize that i needed to submerge myself up to my neck in the vent.

This game needs some serious polish if it's going to be any good. Firstly, more parkour sections, less climbing, and shooting, and more wall running, sliding and swinging.

I've played nothing but golf for a solid week and i still want to play it.

I'd Buy That for a Dollar!

Took 11 Hours to Beat this on Medium Security.

Here's what I liked about the game (Compared to Dead Space, since this is what they were going for)
-More of a Focus on Melee Combat. Feels good to hit guys, and has benefits to mix up combos when throwing down.
-Upgrading Guns with Credits rather than Power Nodes, Adds a balance to upgrading your arsenal rather than buying items like health and ammo, it's a fun choice, and you don't feel as bad when you happen to miss some money compared to missing a node.
-Small but Effective Arsenal, The concept of having what is essentially 2 weapons out at one time makes for planning, and quick thinking in combat Although, the weapon swap time should be shortened just a bit.
-GRP is fun to use, used it more than the Kinesis Module.

What I Didn't Like (SPOILERS)

- You don't get enough time to know Elias before he dies, doesn't have the impact it should.
-The Two Heads are an instant Kill on Medium Security. Would be fine if their hit box wasn't so big, as running away from them only ensures your death.
- Having to stop to use health injections, Let it take just as long to use, but let me use it on the fly.
- Every Boss was the same song and dance. Dodge, Shoot/Melee, Dodge again, rinse and repeat. You fight one, you fight them all.
- DO NOT, Play on AMD FSR Performance, it will make the Shop, and Holo Menu unreadable.
- Running Benchmark tells me to play on Performance, then tells me to switch to Ultra Graphics. (Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2060 Super). Played without AMD FSR, Ran fine, cept for occasional hiccups.
- The Game Launched w/ me in 4K resolution, which would be nice, if i had a 4k Monitor. Easy fix, but i didn't realize it until maybe 10 minutes into the game.

Things I thought were meh (Spoilers):

- Lacking in Puzzles, some puzzles in Dead Space felt like they stopped the flow of gameplay, but there was a serious lack of Puzzles in Callisto, wish that there was a little bit of downtime for maybe a bit.
- Some Pacing issues in the story (The Whole Outside Section) Felt Rushed, Dani and Jacob get too buddy buddy quickly.
- Fares first reappearance made me laugh unintentionally.
- Ending has no outright conclusion, Perhaps for Dani, but Jacob still has stuff to do. Feels like it's pushing the season pass a bit too much.

Overall, this is Dead Space 2.5. It fixes a lot of issues i had w/ Dead Space & Dead Space 2 Combat wise, but retains the survival horror that Dead Space 3 Lacks. Got spooked a couple times, it's a good ride.

The Hot Wheels game you've always wanted has finally came out.

Little pricy, and microtransactions and lootboxes are a little cringe. but the game is solid and i enjoyed every second i've played this.

A game so simple, yet so addicting.

I thought it looked silly before i bought it. Now i've got 15 hours in the game.

All of the time i have in this game is just from Zombies.

That's all you need to know.

You either become god, or die on stage 5. There's no inbetween.

amazing game.

I wish there was a way to play w/ more than 4 people. Or at least play with 8 on the same server. I have too many people who own this game, and having to leave groups behind to play w/ a smaller group is dissapointing.

But, the gameplay loop is great, sailing, and finding treasure is awesome.

Play it.

I Cried when i saw the trailer for this game, it still gets me to this day.

This game has an aura, something about it that shows that whoever made this game put their heart and soul into it. Every time you play, every line you clear, you can see the pure passion of the design, music, and visuals come together to make a perfect storm of euphoria.

This is not Tetris as you know it.

Play it in VR, and experience it for yourself.
