Early Access Review
Very few games have a respect for the player's time and intelligence in the way this one does. Every step in the road to Kingpin could be signposted, tutorialized; instead, you get a basic understanding for gameplay systems, and then are allowed to take your trade in any direction you want.

For a while, I didn't even bother making Meth- that's how engaged I was just by making mixes of marijuana for potential customers, even though low level customers can be impressed by default strains. Just by having the INFORMATION that they like this, or that, I found myself naturally gravitating toward pleasing my customers. ACTUALLY experimenting, for god's sake, instead of mindlessly sticking to the first effective method I found.

So yeah, you could say I liked it.

Is Nubby's Number Factory Polished? Not by any stretch of the imagination. Some items are worthless even before you've passed the first shop. Some items are so unbelievably broken that you don't even have to aim. The game can't handle Arithmetic past Quadrillion, and will just stop working without even a crash report.

But. The ideas at it's core are golden, and make what would be a frustrating experience into satisfying game of intuition. Do not approach this game with a guide- instead, observe each item and their synergies in action, and think about what could make your run BETTER. What items seem superfluous? What elements of play are you not considering?

It is not tightly designed. Even the best laid plans can go amiss - but the first time you see that row of Kebab Perks, you're hooked.

Was actually pretty fun... until you find out that you can't complete any challenges in offline mode!!! What happens when ubisoft stops maintaining the servers? Well, have fun with your 30.00$ snowboarding game with nothing to do other than just enjoy the slopes. It's a bit frustrating, as it isn't as though the core challenges change, just the temporary ones.

What can you say about Balatro. I mean really. What can you say about Balatro? He was a man, but he was also a CHICKEN AND WINNIGISH

Great multiplayer game, but can and WILL get repetitive. Needs a bit more variety, and some more viability in combat. Overall fun though.

Listen- Listen to me. Game good. Worth Playing. IMO you should pick Dark Urge for your first run, fully customizable character- it's for me at least the canon story when paired with Baldur's Gate 1 + 2. Resist the urge, as the character summary says, and you'll get one of the best D&D experiences to date.

This game is really really good
and the best part is despite its relative shortness we are getting
a) 2 MORE CHAPTERS
b) MOD SUPPORT
c) LEVEL EDITOR
which means its going to be a very nice, long playing experience
for now though, it is 13 hours of length, very quirky, and very fun to play
weak laptops beware~

Let me make 1 thing clear- if you DONT like difficulty, you wont like this game!
Many people say that seeing the same enemies and levels with different difficult characters is boring/too hard, but the game is one very large skill test.
Getting past the standard and lute gameplay, characters are very difficult to master- I just beat the game as aria personally- and it only gets harder as you unlock more. Some would find this fulfilling/fun, some "TOO HARD". It seems that way at first, but surpassing the first zone as a character shows you that isn't true. Practice is the key to enjoying this game- it's not all RNG.
PROS:
- OST is Very Good
- Gameplay is tight/controls are consistent
- Gameplay lasts hours due to skill building
CONS:
-Bye bye hundreds of hours of your life
-Gasket will get blown
-Difficulty spike may discourage

Yes. 100% Yes. I found out about this game a day before my birthday, and had the most fun playing it with a friend of mine on my birthday. Its absolutely free AND good, so yeah. Dew the Dew, Illuminati, etc.
