Supermarket Simulator cannot run in the background. Not exactly multi-monitor friendly and lacking such a feature in a simulation game is awful. The Steam forums suggested this since Feb 2024 and it is now August 2024. This doesn't seem to be a priority for the developers, which is concerning. I can't recommend this game yet.

I can't stop playing and I can't stop thinking about this game. It is still in early access, has a few bugs (not too game breaking) and a few missing features. I'm overall quite satisfied with what the game has to offer and I am happy to have this in my library alongside Banished. This game is currently developed by one person and I hope that with an early success, the developer hires a stable team to sustain a healthy development road map.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend Palworld in its current state.

I'm around level 30, not at the end game yet and don't mind the "grind" because my Pals do it for me. I have specific bases for certain things so I'm not bothered. I'm exploring everywhere and I get back home to see things taken care of.

What I'm bothered with:

- Enemies/Pals still get stuck in walls.
- I cannot tolerate any longer going through an entire dungeon only to fall through the floor almost every time in the boss room.
- There's no system to manage what Pals work on. You must throw them at it and they get stuck there forever if they're hungry, idling if there's nothing to do.
- No work priority system. If I'd like for them to just mine rocks or ore, just do that. Not to mine everything you can and waste your time.
- I can't assign Pals to store things in specific places.
- I can't set what foods my Pals should eat.
- The fridge is pointless. The cooling system is pointless.

- Why can't I build a roof properly
- Doors are pointless
- Adding lights to the base grants temporary lighting. Otherwise, you need to light it up yourself or have a Pal to do it, which gets stuck if it is a high-mounted wall light or ceiling light. As a player, I encounter problems when lighting it up if the place is out of reach.
- Adding any decorative items is quite pointless.
- Pal box can't be placed properly indoors and Pals are summoned within its vicinity.

- I can't add multiple permanent custom markers with names.

I strongly advise buying this on sale if you'd like university-themed buildings in combination with workshop mods that help you control where the buildings spawn (RICO + Move it).

Otherwise, it isn't worth it because unfortunately, this content creator pack isn't built-in for districts. I would have given this DLC a thumbs up if this was a possibility.

Buy it on sale. It isn't worth it full price and even when it is on sale. It would have been better if this was a free update considering the amount of DLCs this game has.

It Takes Two is an immersive and graphically gorgeous game to play with a loved one. I completed this game 100% with my fiance. We both had many fun and relatable moments while playing the game. I particularly enjoy that there are mini-games (challenges) that you and your partner can come back to at any given time. Each game stage has its stunning environment and secrets to discover.

This is the only EA Game I can praise since their SimCity (2013), Mass Effect Andromeda and The Sims 4 disaster. I have avoided EA Games since that era like the plague.

Cody and May are the most unlikeable protagonists I have ever encountered. I found the Book of Love (Dr. Hakim) more tolerable. The ending was adorable, but the game leaves me wondering whether the protagonists cancelled their divorce. I hope they didn't follow through with the divorce and worked things out. Coming to terms with their flaws and complementing each other.

The story of Elden Ring makes you crave more if you're a lore seeker. I believe many things are up for interpretation, making the game more exciting. Upon completing the game, especially if you attempt 100% of every location possible, you feel exhilarated yet wonder if there's still more to Elden Ring.

Combat is clunky with the auto-aim camera style, especially if you are a caster, as there is no reticle system, but it is a game mechanic that needs getting used to. Otherwise, the combat is very satisfying, especially after you beat up a challenging encounter. Without the currently pointless Ray Tracing implementation, the game is graphically gorgeous, and each environment you encounter is immersive.

The biggest downside of Elden Ring would be the 60 FPS lock. This game is undoubtedly made for controllers, but I managed through and through with a keyboard + mouse. For those who have an UltraWide monitor, as of this review, FromSoftware has yet to implement support for it.

Seamless Co-Op Mod is life-changing.

1. Game recommends high-end GPUs but advises 1080p resolution with an FPS lock.
   
2. No upscaling.
   
3. RTAO and RT Shadows only.
   
4. No GI and no reflections.

I won't hold my breath, but here's hoping FromSoftware unlocks the FPS, implements all that Ray Tracing offers, UltraWide support and upscaling.

Elden Ring is worth the full price for the amount of content you get.

I don't need p*rn anymore.

Questionable naming but new free content is always good. I miss the days when "furry" didn't need to mean a certain degeneracy.

Plenty of furries out there are openly committing bestiality on social media.

Stardew Valley is an immaculate game created by a single developer with much love from himself and the modding community. Multiplayer features are fantastic, and I'm so happy that farmers can marry each other. I am a Harvest Moon: Back to Nature veteran, and I'm so glad that ConcernedApe took all of the amazing features from that game into Stardew Valley. I hope even more updates come with the game, with more NPCs, lore, areas and crops to harvest.
