Fast paced, boss rush Elden Ring roguelike. Very fun with friends or solo

Polished, convenient, intuitive. Everything you want from a building game. Exploration and production are weaved together beautifully. One of the most screenshot-worthy games I've played, it lives up to it's namesake handily. Fun with friends, fun alone, just keep an eye on the clock. If you like goal-oriented games with plenty of building and exploration, give this a shot.

Launched two days ago and I've already put in ~12 hours and I feel like I've only scratched the surface. It feels so dense and interconnected, and every nook I dive into has something unique and rewarding. Looks absolutely beautiful and I haven't had any performance issues to speak of (RTX 3070, Intel i7-11700k). The level of polish and attention to detail is insane. If you enjoyed the base game you will enjoy this DLC.

pure addiction

Great atmosphere, great secrets, great exploration! Super innovative items and puzzle solving. If you like mapping out areas and getting creative with game mechanics, you'll love it.

Life changing game. Animation, music, and SOUL comes together for the perfect Warioland 4 successor. Controls are tight, music is unstoppable, levels are creative and introduce fresh mechanics at a perfect pace. I was grinning as soon as I started the tutorial. This is what video games should be.

It grew on me to the point where I had dreams about the mysteries and the places I hadn't yet been. Exceedingly captivating game. If you love puzzles, exploration, and space: buy this game right now.

I can’t recommend this game enough. Every time I play through it again it feels like an entirely different adventure. I find connections between zones I never knew about, npc’s I’ve never seen, and upgrades and abilities that allow it all to be discovered. This is everything I want in a metroidvania. Lots of lore, light but interesting story, huge focus on enemy behavior and diversity, and above all the feeling of progression. Starting out as a week little grub and then you’re six hours in and you’re bouncing off walls and killing everything in one hit - it’s extremely gratifying. That’s not to say the enemies don’t progress with you. Even at max power with every upgrade, there are bosses that will eat you in about 4 seconds if you stop using your brain. But the best part about the bosses is that every boss has a pattern and can be learned and perfected, as you try over and over to beat this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ until you recognize every movement and every attack before it even happens, and you finally beat him. Then the game says, “You know what? Great job. Come back without any upgrades and try that again” and you think “that’s impossible” but after spending hours learning these bosses, you find that the upgrades and damage boosters and extra health was all a crutch and the true heart of the cards lies within you. Anyway, great video juego I give it a 10/10 and I play through it pretty much every 6 months.
