I've never been a fan of poker, or even played a real game of poker in my entire life.

Balarto is one of the most fun and additive games of any genre I've played in a long time. It has that age old formula for a great game; easy to learn, difficult to master.

Time melts away like when you're playing this. It's got that addictive 'one more hand' sensation Coming up with powerful combos is so fun, there's a lot of RNG but tons of strat too.

I sort of wish I bought it on Switch (or steam deck) instead of for my PC. It seems like a perfect game for a portable platform.

I give it a 9.5/10. Some of the terms and description of the functions of the cards are not always clear in the tool tips in game so sometimes I would have to alt tab to a browser and look up how some of the cards effect each other.

Remember the hype and subsequent disappointment of Cyberpunk 2077's initial release three years ago? High-end machines could play it; BUT the RPG experience was nowhere to be found. What we had was solid action game with potential.

Fast forward to 2.0 —this is the I wanted and thought we'd get in 2020. it really feels like an Action RPG now. And most important, it's really fun.

The progression system is a blast, exploration feels immersive, and the characters? Fully fleshed out. Sure, there are a few bugs lingering around, but nothing that my immersion breaking while playing on a 3080 @ 4k DLSS Performance & getting 45-85 FPS.

Cyberpunk 2077 is in a league of it's own right now. Thank you for fixing it CDPR.

Larian Studios has crafted a game that excels in every aspect. From the game mechanics to the tutorial, from the quality of acting to the writing and art, and even the community management and communication, everything about BG3 is top-notch, A+.

Even in its early access stage, BG3 outshines the vast majority of triple-A titles released in the last decade. The level of immersion it offers is unparalleled, making it the closest thing to a tabletop RPG session that has ever been achieved in a video game. Whether you're a fan of RPGs, D&D, or CRPGs, buy this. It's truly high quality gaming.

The game rocks an aboutley gorgeous and modern UI and art style, immersing players in a visually pleasing experience. Its mechanics are remarkably thoughtful, striking a perfect balance between challenging and relaxing gameplay. With abundant replayability, Mini Motorways offers tremendous value for players. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this game if you enjoy the genere of puzzle/urban planning or enjoyed mini metro. The devs put a lot of thought and love into this title, and it shows.

Early Access Review
Buy this game.

You can play at your own pace. Solve infinite problems; create infinite problems.
Use lateral thinking.
Constantly have ideas to improve...
One of the most addictive games ever made.
It's very, very good.

Early Access Review
A++ has so much potential can't wait to see where it goes. i loved it on iOS -

so much to explore - relaxing and fun.

overall i love the game very much and can spend hours playing.


looking forward to muliplayer being completed. multiplayer is here but not compltley stable (yet, it's in early access and multplayer is expirmental)

i'd also like to see a few of the other options from iOS versions such as hats and having the complete crafting book, maybe share found repcies between all players in multplayer would be good.

A total treat for Borderlands fans. Very fun, very charming and funny. Love exploring the aftermath of Jack's death. Fleshed out characters, great to see how regular people live in the BL universe vs the life of a Vault Hunter. A+ well done Tell Tale and Gearbox. Badass.

This game is a blast. It is simliar to Chilvarly and left 4 dead in one package. Graphics are styish and sharp. Models and animations strong. Love the banter between the characters.
Great foundation - Love to see even more content like more characters levels and expanded progression system. The RPG elements and satisfing melee combat system keep it fresher than most horde shooters.

Buy it you won't regret it - esp at its price point - easily worth your money.

There a few things that could be improved - feel like i should be getting a few more FPS? w/my rig? an option to see who is speaking over voip - like small icon over their charcters portrait or on screen in the hud would be helpfull.

Great city simulation. Pretty much all there is to it. If you like SimCity4 w/mods and such you will really like this. Really, really great game. Mod Support really adds so much to enrich the experince and make your cites unique. The district function is shaping up to be really, really cool. overall and at this price point it's easily 9.5/10./ Highly Reccomend this product and thank you to the Devs for making a city simlulator that is so full featured and doing a great job supporting the product past launch.

Minor things that could be improved;the UI could be a bit sharper. The road building could be more like SimCity where you can drag long stretchs of grid and create intrections. and most of all i'd like to see an "UNDO" "CTRL-Z" function (or mod)


I also recommend you buy the Expansion Pack.

his game is an absolute blast. If you enjoy Arkham Knight or Shadow of Morrodor and like the Mad Max franchise - Pull the trigger on this one. Lots to do - So many little details that make it feel like you're in the wasteland. Upgrading your car, the Magnum Opus is fun and fulfilling. Graphics are A+, sounds and score are so great - fun to hear the car purr and roar and bounce over the wasteland.

Melee combat is familiar. Car combat is where this game excels. Blasting fuel tanks, harpooning warboys and pulling them out of their car, dragging them behind your car to their death. Fun fun fun.

Also this game has a neat feature i haven't seen before where you can have a person use a second controller to move the camera and record cinematic style. Cool stuff.
