Too addicting. I'm literally spending all day on it. It's basically a mobile game.

As for more constructive comments about the game:
Balanced Blitz takes the board game style fun out of the game, and quite literally takes away the RISK of it by removing those statistical outliers that let a lone piece fend off like 10 pieces; majority of games do not have True Random. Turn timer also isn't paused during attacking animations, so your grand strategies can be blocked from completion just because it takes a little longer.

Enter the Gungeon is a game that revolves around the GUN. Banana gun, pea gun, gun gun, everything’s a gun! Combine this with references from a multitude of other games and media, and you get a charming, fun, but also challenging top-down shooter game.

The game starts out a bit easy, especially if this isn’t your first top-down shooter, but it quickly ramps up by the 2nd floor onwards, with more unpredictable enemies and dangerous environments. You will die, but with each death you learn a little more, and bit by bit you’ll figure out how to overcome all the obstacles that the Gungeon has to offer.

There are a wide variety of guns to uncover on your journey. You’ll come across and unlock more powerful, but also peculiar guns. Some are off of real-life guns, but the ones that will really grab your attention are the cool and badass-looking sci-fi ones; some of them are not as cool, and arguably even lame, but I think each gun has a charm in their own way. This flow of new guns to try out keeps your journey to The Gun keeps every run interesting.

The pixel graphics are cute as hell; just look at the bullet kin! There is a great amount of attention paid to the details that you can’t help but appreciate. Great effort was also put into the text and dialogue, from Ammonomicon, to the various NPCs you can talk to, like the depressed alcoholic lizard.

The soundtrack is stellar. It fills you with the motivation to explore the depths of the Gungeon and uncover its mysteries. The different musical tracks seamlessly blend into each other as you exit and enter new rooms, and can make a mix of the best parts of each track. At the end of every challenge in this game awaits an awesome tune to celebrate to.

The story element is kept light and brief, popping up only once in a while amidst the action, but it nonetheless contains some intriguing parts for you to discover and speculate on (or look up lol).

There is a 2-player co-op option, however, it’s local only. The co-op itself can be quite fun, and Remote Play on Steam bridges the physical gap with local co-op, but I’m still very disappointed to see this limitation in co-op.

One major complaint I have is the game’s lack of info on weapon synergies. Some of them you can figure out just from testing it out, but a lot are very obscure to the point where you’ll probably be unable to figure it out without looking it up on the wiki. This is something I don’t like to do because it often ruins the fun of learning and discovering on your first run.

In the grand scheme of things, the downsides aren’t too major. As someone who has enjoyed top-down shooters like Nuclear Throne, this game was extremely attractive to me, and it has shown itself to be one of the best that I’ve played. I loved its incredibly goofy style and the heart and soul put into it. Enter the Gungeon is a satisfying experience that any enjoyer of indie games must try out.

Among Us is an interesting social deduction game, with features such as being able to move around a map, perform tasks, and, as an impostor, making disruptions on the map (sabotage). These are distinct features compared to other social deduction games (e.g. Town of Salem), as those are usually solely text based, with no movement at all, and having the goals be solely to find the bad guy (or as the bad guy, kill all the others). This also keeps those who have died, since it gives them something to do.

Despite the gameplay and mechanics of the game making it very interesting, it lacks severely from what drives a social deduction game. The players. A platoon of idiots occupy this game's playerbase, and you will see them at every turn. Not just in bad plays, but also in total inconsideration, such as making public lobbies and then banning you right away; a waste of time, and incredibly common with no recourse and preventative measure. You'll occasionally get the reprobates that communicate outside the game with friends, but luckily it doesn't seem to be common and is reportable. There are also those who leave upon the start of the game. The reasons are unknown, but most likely it's from not getting their preferred role (impostor or crewmate), and there is no penalty for these inconsiderate baboons.

Gamebreaking bugs are not uncommon as well, such as impostors walking backwards, and game's just being broken from freezing in place or not being able to report or call emergency. There's also lag issues where visuals fall behind on what's actually happening, and this results in people going through doors, or killing from extremely long ranges.

A gameplay issue I have are the visual tasks and taskbar updates. There’s a metagame around these 2 things where you can tell if someone is a real crewmate by observing these, and that is an incredibly disadvantage against impostors. Hosts have the option of turning them off, but I don’t see a good reason for even having the option of having them on, since they help crewmates immensely more than it should.

I find myself playing for too long looking for "satisfying" good games, but I only get myself into more disappointing games. The short bursts every round makes the game addicting (at least for me), and I found myself playing an unhealthy length of time just to squeeze out any bit of satisfaction from a game, and it was never enough. I would only stop when an absurd amount of time passed.

The game is severely lacking within the public sphere of gameplay, and only really excels within the role as a party game among friends. Even then, you require quite a decent number of people to set up a game (I'd say about 10), and I don't think it's going to be easy arranging such a thing for most people. If they’ve never played either, then the details of the game (like the locations in each of the maps) won’t be readily known. For the trouble you run into outside of private games, I don't recommend this game.

Kingdom Two Crowns is the 3rd installment in the Kingdom series of games. The simple gameplay of picking up and spending coins and expanding your kingdom is still there, with slight variations from the previous games, such as new mounts and the new objective of blowing up the lairs of the monsters (versus just sailing away in New Lands). The main selling point of this version is the co-op mechanic, where a second player can join you (hence the title Two Crowns). However, the co-op in this game falls very short, and without it, it is nothing more than New Lands with slight alterations and small updates.

In terms of new content, there’s a new soundtrack, and some new visuals, but largely the same from the previous Kingdom games. There’s a new limited gem resource, which is used to unlock statue upgrades, hermits, and mounts; but it feels like a redundancy more than anything and a bad attempt at adding variety to the game. There are also the challenge islands, and as the name suggests, are extra challenges for the players to overcome. However, there’s not that much beyond one main mechanic that you have to work around, and will mostly be the same gameplay as the main game.

One of the things that was done well are the 2 free DLCs. The Shogun one is mostly a reskin of the game, and Deadlands introduces new mechanics. These were a welcoming addition to the game, as they provided a newer graphical and soundtrack remix of the game, which helped make them feel like a fresh new game experience.

The main aspect of co-op is having an additional player to help you out in your kingdom building, but there is really nothing more beyond that. You have certain events where you have to be together, like blowing up the monster lair and riding the boat, but that’s it.

The other major problem with the game is that it’s not fleshed out. Despite the fact that it’s a co-op game, achievements that are earned through the efforts of both players are not awarded to both players, but instead only the host. Sometimes the second player will get achievements, but the requirements or triggers around that are a mystery. There are four campaign modes, but only three save files. The minion AI is still sometimes dumb as ♥♥♥♥. For example, archers will sometimes sit too far back for them to shoot (this made me lose in one of my games). My co-op buddy also encountered some visual/gameplay bugs with the knights and archers. I personally have not encountered many bugs, but based on what I see on the forums, there’s still quite a bit at this time since the game’s release.

Two Crowns isn’t a totally bad game; I would put it somewhere in middle. But I’m more critical of the game because by their 3rd game, I expected something better and greater, especially with the fact that the core gameplay of Kingdom is quite simple and has been kept throughout its 3 games so far, and its current price point. The lackluster co-op, minimally new content, and unrefined state of the game were big disappointments for me. For that, I do not recommend this game.

Tormentor X Punisher is a simple but intense arena shooter with fast-paced and short rounds of games where you have to survive against a horde of demons out to kill you! :0 Each second you survive, it becomes even more difficult to survive as more ♥♥♥♥ is thrown your way. Getting hit just once will be your DEATH!

Majority of the enemies are very simple and zombie-like, and will try to run towards you in a straight line, however, among the stoopid creatures are the BIG BOY BOSSES who will appear after a while to MURDER YOU :O There are about 7 of them, and all of them can be very challenging!

There is not much weapon variety, as you’re only equipped with 2 guns, but the catch to this seemingly simple setup is that you can upgrade your shotgun by completing various challenges each round, though, you lose them immediately after you die and start a new round.

While you’re running around trying to survive in this arena, you’re accompanied by a metal soundtrack playing in the background. It keeps things intense and exciting, and you’re rewarded with a new track every time you encounter a boss.

Most of what you will learn in this game will be through trial and error. Not just in terms of general things like getting used to the controls, but also something like finding out what challenges you have to complete for your shotgun upgrades. I recommend looking up a guide for these more hidden aspects of the game, since I personally found it annoying trying to figure it out on my own.

For that raw, adrenaline-fueled craving of violence and action, this game’s pretty good.

The Phoenix Wright trilogy is an exceptional game series that brings you through a number of exciting stories and conflicts for you to unravel. Although the game may be described as a visual novel game, it is very different than the anime “games” that you might see in the Steam store, as this game far surpasses them in depth and interest.

The cast of characters in this game are unforgettable. Their roles and personality make them stand out among each other, and the game does an excellent job of expressing each of them. They also add a lot of humour to the game, which makes them all the more amusing.

The music sets the mood and tone of the scenes and events in the game extremely well, and makes it even more entertaining than it already is. The soundtrack is also just wondrously well composed and a joy to listen to.

Each episode is unique with their plot, and the storytelling employs useful elements like suspense and foreshadowing throughout the investigations and trials, which keeps the narrative very captivating and thrilling to figure out. Although you’re guided through some parts of the investigations and trials, it’s still a challenge as you’re still required to be the one to set things into motion or refutes the arguments against your case. But once you discover a major breakthrough that turns the whole case around, the game does an amazing job of making it very satisfying.

This series is without a doubt, one of the best story-driven games out there. It keeps you engaged and delighted through its excellent writing, characters, gameplay, and soundtrack. It’s an experience to be savoured and best enjoyed without spoilers. It was a great shame for me that I was partially spoiled of some major parts of the game, mainly from watching YouTube videos. I’d also advise against doing trial-and-error for the tough parts, since that’s not very enjoyable. I highly recommend the game, even if you’d seen spoilers like me, or have never tried a story-driven game before, because more than likely, it will be an unforgettably fun experience!
