FOR SUPER EARTH!

Warthunder, but with Motorbikes in the best way possible! I hope to see how this will continue to grow!

The Ultimate Game.

A proper modernization of the cRPG genre. Not that other titles in the genre aren't worthy, but this definitely takes things to a new depth. Great characters, writing, overarching elements, and game play. Heck yeah!

ARMORED CORE is back! If you know about AC, then this is the return of the king. It definitely makes Daemon x Machina look quaint in its attempt to carry the torch. No need for spiritual successor here, friends.

If you like Mecha games, get this. It's the grandfather of all Robot/Mecha customization video games out there, and it does it well here.

If you like video games that focus on the challenge of surviving fights, both in an open environment and in arenas vs bosses and hard opponents? Yes, get it. It does it extremely well. It's what FROM was always good at, and now it's even better.

As an old and decrepit gamer, I remember ALL previous AC games, even those lovely demo discs that had the very first one. AC6 somehow brings it all back. The classic formula of Armored Core meets the modern understandings (and dare I say Mastery) that FROM brings from their more recent titles. It's a proper marriage of the classic series with modern mechanics and controls. Thank you, FROM SOFTWARE, and all the people involved in development in it, for reigniting my faith that Armored Core can be alive still, and even moreso, thrive. You guys did good.

(Now please add more PVP options, and the ability to download other people's AC info for custom Arena matches)

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 2 is a game that feels like it's from the late 00's, early 10's, and that's fine. Why? Because it's solid.

The mechanics are simple enough but there's enough utilized with them that makes the combat engaging, and interesting each time to do a match with other players. It also has enough customization and "collection" facets that make playing this repeatedly for days, months, years on end worthwhile as opposed to.. other Gundam games.

Does it have problems? Absolutely. I wont even get into balancing, but as far as server instability goes, it's an ongoing effort to fix up because people who work on stuff like this hardly get the resources, time or greenlight to be fully prepared for their game opening its service. It's been spotty at release, but they're working on it, and I've had enough enjoyment out of a -free game- to feel it's more than worth recommending.

Hi. Look here, this is genuinely being written in case you're scrolling around, uncertain especially due to the reviews being made here, and want a bit of clarity of what the bottom line is.

The game is good. It's really good! It's a fun gundam game that feels like it's bringing together elements of the G Generation series (In terms of content and story) and Breaker Series (In terms of combat) and marries it together quite well, I'd say! The videos of gameplay explain pretty much anything you need to know. A+ for them showing directly what to expect.

While I can't speak for technical issues people are having on here, I will say that it's the gamble of any PC game, because I for one have had not a single issue in my multiplayer sessions, or with gameplay or graphics at all.

It's really fun, it has a progression system so you're not just gonna blast through it all in one sitting, and you get to enjoy hearing fully voiced characters from different series yap at each other. It's GREAT.

Doesn't have half the content the normal game has at this point, and it's seemingly been abandoned. A shame. It's extremely good for VR crafty survival gameplay.

I'm not one of those people who are actually decent at writing out a review, so I'll keep it simple and straightforward.

Until You Fall feels a lot like House of the Dead but with swords, and a nice little roguelike system for weapons to choose and upgrade per run. The music puts you in the mood of the cool neo(synth? vapor?)-medieval aesthetic it has, and once you get the flow of things, you're swinging and dodging like a badass.

I'm new to it, but I'm definitely enjoying the discovery of weapons and upgrades to apply to them, not to mention playing further, and on harder difficulties.

TL;DR version: My experience of this beta test is a bitter one. The game has been resurrected, but feels like it's been poorly maintained, if at all. If this was just a stress test, this is an embarrassing one.


CosmicBreak Universal is CyberStep's attempt to both bring back a game that *worked* at one point, and to make it a global or "Universal" release, where players, Japanese an overseas alike, can play together. It's a good way to scale everything back in terms of things like server cost, while also keeping it pretty easy to update and maintain.

Unfortunately it seems like that's all it really is. Bringing something back for the cash shop earnings it generated, with as little effort in upkeep as possible. I say "little effort" because whatever this test is for, it shows that there's virtually no work being put into the game. Hell it struggles to load menus and new areas at any sort of speed that'd even be acceptable in the early 2010's (for a game of its age and design that is. C21 is even older, and somehow runs far better.)

It's heartbreaking. It's the same game with maybe a few texture touch-ups to the original robo-girls at best? I honestly can't even tell any differences so far. OH and with this test phase at least, everything is as it was when the game shut down previously. Meaning all the content released over the years is there with no work done on a new player experience. No real sensation of climbing a latter of power and experience, it's just "hey, hope you roll a gatcha girl that was added in later than sooner so it's able to do the PvP meta! And worst all, at least for overseas players, half the game isn't even translated. So that's kind-of inconvenient!

I want Cyberstep to do well, but this.. this is not a good way to go about it.
