One of the most chill games I've played in a long time. A lot of content to explore, and very high replay-ability.

An enjoyable puzzle game to help one relax, and pass the time.

This game nails all the check boxes for an instant classic arcade TMNT beat 'em up title. Great sprite work, amazing music, smooth controls, and an all around fun game. It brings tears of joy to my face, and I felt like a little kid again when playing this masterpiece. Even more so after playing couch co-op with a long time friend.

If we are lucky this game could help bring about the return of the arcade beat 'em up genre. I just hope that Tribute Games Inc. is allowed to make more great TMNT games in the near future.

If you love the classic Heretic then you will love this.

A small price of admission to unlock access to all current/new Creation Club content, at the time of release, is well worth it. Normally it would have cost well over a few hundred dollars just to unlock all the same content. Sure not everything the Creation Club has to offer is worth getting, but a few of them have been noted to be even better then content created by the active mod community. I just hope that at some point Bethesda does the same thing for Fallout 4's Creation Club content.

Also don't mind the self-entitled vocal minority of mod players. They knew for months that this was coming, and still want to get upset because, "My SKSE mods broke." Instead of having patience, and wait until it, and other mods get updated to fix the compatibility issues. Seriously people like that are the worst part of the community, and gives modding a bad name.

Get SimCity 4 instead of this one. It's not only cheaper, even when not on sale, but also still has an active mod community. Plus you won't have to deal with a third-party login. Nor Paradox's bad business model of spamming DLC content to the point that it becomes over priced.

If you want this game then wait till Paradox makes a complete edition, but even then wait a few years afterwords. Paradox is known to still release DLCs for so called content complete games afterwords just so they can milk people for money one last time. Don't fall for this scam like so many others have done in the past.

Dusk '82 is another enjoyable New Blood title, and brings to the table just what I was expecting. An enjoyable puzzler that can be challenging for some, or very easy for others. The chiptune music sounds great. Even tho I'm not the best at puzzle games I'm still loving it, and I can't wait to dig into the included level editor, and share my own levels on the workshop.

If you have the means I high recommend picking up not only the game, but the soundtrack as well.

An N64 classic that has aged like a fine wine, and ready to be served on PC.

Only buy this if you want to play The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull levels. The rest of the levels can be skipped, and aren't as enjoyable as The Original Adventures. The problem with this game is that they lock you inside arenas instead of having well crafted levels. All you do in these levels is kill enemies, or complete a puzzle and the level is done. You don't even have a reason to replay these levels in free play mode because all unlocks are removed from the actual levels. Instead you unlock things from inside the hub maps, or playing the challenge levels. It's really kind of boring, and it makes you long for the way it work in previous Lego games like Star Wars, or The Original Adventures.

That doesn't mean it's a bad game, but it feels like a rushed game. I say this from the fact that The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull levels feel like someone actually put time into them, and are an enjoyable re-telling of the movie, and spans three hub worlds. Where the original movies only have a single hub world, and the levels feel tossed together with very little effort put into them. I think this would have been a better game if they had just re-released the original game with The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull levels as an expansion like they did with Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

An enjoyable take on what makes a good FPS game. Made by a fan of classic FPS games for classic FPS fans. Dusk does not disappoint, and brings hours of fun. That is the keyword here FUN. The game has a great balance of retro styled graphics, solid controls, and beefy weapons that never feels weak. Even the pistol stays useful all the way to the end of the game. The soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult is not only a perfect fit, but well worth listening to even after completing the game. I always say, "No such thing as a perfect game," but Dusk sure as heck comes close to it.
