Fun little 4h-long game with a surprising amount of gameplay variety.

I recommend going in blind. Don't even look at the trailers. Jump in and enjoy the ride!

A worthy successor to Budokai Tenkaichi 3, with decent difficulty and LOTS to unlock between the 180+ characters, costumes, ability capsules, and more. Sadly it's lacking some of the old game modes and only has around half the amount of stages that BT3 had. Hopefully we'll get more in future updates.

Although it's the largest roster in the series so far, most characters from the OG Dragon Ball series also got axed. I could see them coming back as DLC after the Super Hero and Daima packs, but it's unfortunate nonetheless.

Nice little game for when you just want to chill with something stress-free.

There's plenty of improvements compared to the first game which make certain tasks much easier, and the ability to copy item styles around is a blessing if your ADHD brain wants to have matching furniture, though I miss the gardening aspect and sheer variety of items the first game had. The lack of Steam Workshop support doesn't help. Here's hoping that future updates will compensate for that.

A more refined version of the previous game in the series, including the previous game's full roster and story mode with plenty of additions to both, making it the definitive way to play this 2D fighter.

This one brings a greater focus to online play, limiting your options to unlock weapon skins and character palettes if you prefer to play single player, and that's really the worst point I can bring up. The game's easy to pick up even for fighting game newbies thanks to the option to use shortcuts for all the moves, but still hard to master if you're a serious player.

Very bare-bones as a "Survivors" type game. Movement is a bit janky and often fails when exiting the upgrade screen, there's only one character, unskippable dialogue whenever you start a stage, very little enemy variety and weapon variety, and making the upgrades shop a way to unlock weapon/passive level ups instead of actual base bonuses for the character feels pretty bad. No weapon evolutions either, which is a shame. Right now I cannot recommend this, even as a fan of the genre.

It's Pokemon Legends Arceus with base building. The game markets "animal abuse" as being a big part of it, but mistreating your critters actually HURTS YOU since the optimal way to play is to keep them happy and well-fed to automate your base's functions and craft/gather/cultivate for you.

Very strong release with a few kinks to iron out. There's potential here if they keep adding to it with a quest system or voiced NPCs and keep expanding the world.

It's like Vampire Survivors, but it includes a fishing minigame.

Need I say more?

Absolutely incredible for its price point VS how many hours you can sink into it.
Simplistic gameplay, tons of unlockables, multiple weapons to experiment with and combine, and a lot of hidden secrets to find until you finally see everything the game has to offer.
All hail Queen Sigma.

I was given a bucket.

This changes everything.

The game's very newbie friendly and it's never too late to get started. It's so good that they had to stop selling it, because the servers can't handle the flood of new players.

Arguably better than some other mainline FF titles on both story and music.
