7/10 - Love the art/aesthetic of the game. Dredge has a great atmosphere and uses lovecraftian themes well. That said, I wish the gameplay offered a bit more variety and side quests offered more than extra stuff to sell. Some more of the smaller islands sprinkled throughout the map would've also been nice. Overall fun and unique, here's hoping the DLC dives a bit deeper into what makes the game great rather than offering more of the same.

10/10 - writing this now before elden beast and malenia make me change my mind. The world design, combat, exploration, and enemies are all some of, if not the best I've ever seen. Gameplay takes the strongest aspects of all fromsoft titles to create something new entirely.

It's the best game ever made

8.5/10 - There's plenty of glitches, the game-play isn't noteworthy, and there's less content than what was promised. All that said, the characters, city, and story lines draw you in with immersion that'll stay with you after you're done playing. The saddest thing about this game is seeing the immense potential it had and only partially lived up to. Fingers crossed that CD Projekt Red learned from their mistakes and the DLC helps to make Cyberpunk the all-time game it should've been.

6/10 - Great story/lore and lots of spooks. Still got jumpscared in the final chapter so the tension never really lets up. Hasn't aged the best since the gameplay consists of mostly just combat and walking from point A to point B. Also took some effort to get it running properly but definitely worth playing.

5/10 - Art style and soundtrack are the best part of this game. It's unique by combining swordplay and bullet hell mechanics but it never goes much deeper than how it starts. Worth playing but has some flaws and ultimately feels a bit shallow on gameplay.

9.5/10 - Amazing game solo or with friends. Every character is so unique that it makes the game feel entirely new. RNG can be a bit unforgiving and the learning curve is steep at the start but there is basically nothing wrong with this game. My only wish is that the game explained more in its logbooks so that it didn't rely on the online community to bridge the gap. Still a must play game on Steam.

7.5/10 - Creative and original but has some pacing issues. The game starts off very strong, grinds to a halt in the middle, then finishes with a good ending. Inscryption had me asking so many questions at the start, it's just a shame I had more fun before they were answered.

9.5/10 - The genre's name should be changed to Metroidvaniaknight because of this game. Art/designs are great and super original. Combat and platforming are the best I've played in the genre. Exploration was always rewarding because there are so many secrets jam packed into this game. I had some issues getting the game to run initially but switching to the Beta version solved it.

4/10 - This game initially released almost 4 years ago and yet it still feels like there's not much content. It looks great and battling other ships is fun but the novelty wears off pretty quick. I'd recommend if it was priced closer to $10 rather than $50. Steam just has too many good deals to waste your money here.
