With this likely being the last game in the Project Diva series, I think this game was the best sendoff Sega could have given fans of the series. There is so much content for both newcomers and experienced veterans to sift through, making it more than worthwhile to purchase even at full price. If you're more of a fan of Project Sekai though, I would wait as there are rumors the game is getting ported to PC soonish and this is a very different beast from what players of that game have come to expect.

how do you make a franchise unfun and expensive

Apex Legends is WAYYY too good for what it's supposed to be. While the game is somewhat unstable and has visual glitches every now and then when cl_showpos is enabled, the movement and gunplay outshine all of those issues by a long shot. Seriously, no other battle royale or even game comes close to Apex's movement system and I'm really happy they used Source here. That being said, one of the major gripes I have is how expensive everything is microtransaction wise. I'm not asking for everything to be free but some of these skins and items rip people off and aren't worth the money. So basically if you don't care about event skins and can avoid spending money on the overpriced items in the shop, PLAY THE GAME.

UPDATE 7/17: After playing the game for four years, it makes me incredibly sad to see what this game has become. When I play Apex Legends, it feel unfun and unfair to enjoy anymore due to overly aggressive MMR, poor ranked mode adjustments and lack of compensation for sudden changes in said ranked mode that make me feel like my investment in this game is unvalued and unwanted.

While I would say the monetization has led the game to this point, I would argue otherwise as we've seen aggressive overpricing on cosmetics even back in TF|2 where sets of cheaply made patterns cost consumers $10 per pack. It's really not an EA problem, it's a Respawn problem. Spend your time elsewhere, I don't see this game ever getting the fixes it deserves.

this game is insanely fun for 5$. Every moment I played was in raw enjoyment and I'm glad the developers make it open for everyone to play whether it's on mobile or PC. I hope the developers continue to add maps and more content in the future to keep up the momentum. The only problem I see for the developers though is that having to hand draw everything slows down development time by a lot. So perhaps we can get a sequel that maintains the style while using 3d models so content can be added at a faster pace.

This game is a really weird one to express my feelings on. On one hand it's super fun and addictive to play, but on the other hand it lacks polish in certain areas and has a weird difficulty. From World 0 to World 1, the difficulty spiked so hard I was wondering if the order was wrong. I get having a hard game but man the difficulty spike should be less abrupt in my opinion. I hope the developers continue to update this game because I really like what's been shown so far overall.

Puyo Puyo Champions is so much more than a dedicated Puyo game based on PPT's engine. The fact that this game was localized and released in the Americas is a strong sign for the series going forward as we may be seeing more Puyo games released in the west as well. That aside though, it's a very small and tidy game for anyone who enjoys the series. I'm aware the japanese version of the game will be seeing an update to this game via lessons and tutorials alongside some other extra content so I can only hope to see that release in the west as well. If you want to see SEGA localize more games in general, BUY THIS.

For a game that's only 2$, it's well worth your time. I enjoyed most of my time collecting everything and experimenting with the mechanics of the game. Each puzzle is well thought out and even provided some good challenge near the end of the game. The visuals are great too but considering it's running on Unreal 4, I don't think that part was too hard to achieve. The OST is fine too, though I preferred to put on my own music after hearing all of the tracks several times through. The atomic stuff is also great for players who want to have fun/struggle with parts of the game. Now, there are some minor issues with the game that I would preferably like to see in an update/sequel to the game. 1: make the ball aiming easier. Getting the balloons especially make me want this to happen due to how much time was wasted at points collecting those things. Perhaps a targetting system would help fix the problem though maybe fixing the speeds on the balloons in levels like Level 38 would be satisfactory too. 2: adjusting the bounce limit on the bounce pads. I think the bounce limit was too low and blocked off several other possible ways to play the game. I'd like to see the bounce pads make the character jump according to how high they jumped from so I don't always bounce at a set limit. 3: more uses for the collectables. As far as I know, there are barely any uses for these things. Perhaps link the atomic stuff with how many balloons/bubbles I popped? 4: make alt tabbing out of the game easier. I know this is a really minor nitpick but man it's such a drag to get out of the game when doing this. This issue alone would fix a lot (at least for me personally). Overall, it's a great time waster to play when you're in voice calls with other people. That's how I played it :P

I asked for tiddy and I got tiddy. What more can I ask for?
