You ever play a game, have to pee, but hold off because you want to pee after finishing it?

That's this game. But. There's always something to do! So you jump one task to another and never go pee. You keep forgetting you have to pee until you start a new task over and over. V Rising? More like P Rising!

I keep doing the pee pee dance in my chair. I'm going to have to remortgage my apartment and go into debt because of all of the adult diapers I need to buy now. I'm going to have to hire a caregiver to change my nappy wappies so I can keep gathering iron without having to afk. My google searches for adult videos is getting weird. Do you know what a golden shower is? I didn't, but I do now! I've been getting by so far by peeing into gatorade bottles, but I accidentally sipped from the wrong one while organizing my chests.

This game changes you in a way that you do not want.
10/10, would hold my pee again.

This game has taken a couple hundred hours of my life for the low price of like $13 and I couldn't be happier.

The gameplay is simple and the controls easy. If you want to study and test how things work together, you can make every run OP. I loved vegging out to this game for hours on end. It starts off simple and slow, but I think that's just to act as a tutorial and give you a sense of progression. I've had runs where I have to tell where something next to me is by zooming in all the way on the map because I can't see where it is due to all of the particle effects. In fact, I started avoiding some of the flashier weapons even though they were stronger so I could navigate the maps.

Unlocking new things involves mostly trying out all the locations, characters, weapons, and powerups. Some of the unlocks are so insanely specific or cryptic that I am glad I did not play this at launch as I would've been frustrated for days!

I will say that retaliate damage is worth knowing about, but other than that, no spoilers.

My arm was injured when this journey began. Part of it was "shoulder mouse." Just as it implies, it's where your shoulder ends up overworked from using a mouse all day so it causes chronic pain, especially when you use it again. I had to be on painkillers for the first time in my life. I had to play something that used controller while things calmed down and healed. So you could say Vampire Survivors healed me!

Seriously, it's cheap, fun, and can entertain you for hours. There's no reason to not buy it. Oh, and the music is crunkin'.

The game has had a rough start with bugs, but the foundation is there and it is good. As long as they keep working to fix things, I am sure New World will be a successful MMO. So far they are trying hard to fix it all.

If you are an impatient person, I would check back with New World in 6 months to a year. Otherwise, hop on in -- the water is fine!

Took 1,726 loot boxes and 4 hours to complete the game. It was very relaxing to do while watching Twitch and Netflix. I like how the game doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't and that it makes a point. I would swear sometimes the loot boxes take longer to open than at other times, but once I learned to multitask the game with something else, it was quite easy to endure.

It's worth the 99 cents to buy and suggest you save it for a time when you need to unwind with something simple to do.

What the heck are you reading reviews for?! BUY THIS GAME NOW!

Tried Floating Point on steam today. It's a simple game where you fly around as a dot with a grappling hook, touching bars to move onto the next stage where you do the same. The faster you move and the fewer things you bump into, the more living and colorful the world and game music become.

I played it for like 20 minutes and it was cool, but no long-term gameplay to be had.

Very interesting game. You start by learning what to disassemble and in what order with simple practice but soon you are racing the clock to get achievements. Repetition is your friend and even though I disassembled the ak47 at least a dozen times in a row, I was entertained each time.

It's cool because you can learn the parts names, see how the guns work via xray, and gain an all-around basic knowledge of guns which is great to a gun noob like me.

I know my AK will work when the zombie apocalypse comes!

I would recommend supporting this title by buying early and while it is still a low price! You survive by chopping down trees and building structures, catch and cook fish, pick berries, loot suitcases from the plane wreck, etc., etc. to find little Timmy -- a boy who was next to you on the plane before it went down but you don't even know what his connection to you (if any) is.

While you cannot yet find/rescue Timmy yet as this is still in early alpha, you can explore and learn the terrain that's been released so far while trying not to die at the hands of the natives who happen to inhabit the land. They don't even know you are there but simply go about their day until they happen across you. They are a major selling point because the AI actually behave like simple natives. They hunt, eat, sleep, worship the sun, and mourn their dead. Right now in Alpha, the interactions between the natives and you as well as the building are the majority of the game.

When they find you they might pretend to charge to see if you flee, attack, or cautiously back away. Some may even ignore you. They'll build totems with different meanings such as "meal here" or a patrol marker or something akin to "get out of our land."

The natives will spread word of your arrival if you are spotted and one runs away to live and tell the tale, increasing their visits and likelyhood of being attacked. Once you become a thorn in their side by chopping down their trees and hunting their game, you'll have to defend yourself. You can build traps to kill them, walls and other structures to keep them at bay, and even craft effigies from their body parts to keep them too scared to approach you. Then the game will escalate (just not at this point in alpha).

There is a couple of cave systems and inside the caves are mutants capable of tearing down walls and killing you with ease. Eventually they'll be used by the natives to overrun your base and attempt to kill you. When that happens - run. Run with all your heart, hide, and rebuild. How long can we hope to survive against since odds? How many of us will ever find and save Timmy? Only time will tell.
