Cinema, absolute peak. First time in a Souls DLC after completing everything I went back and helped randoms on bosses via summoning cos of how good some of the bosses were. Personal favorites were Bayle, Midra and Divine Beast.

Performance-related issues are fair when reading other reviews, but personally only time I had that kind of impact was during final boss second phase for an obvious reason, so luckily my enjoyment on the DLC wasn't impacted by obnoxious frame drops etc.

Varied boss roster, stunning locales, great OST, it all just comes together in a neat package that is hard to top.

Very unique gameplay combined with Arkane's artistic style made for a banger of a game. Only disappointed with endings as I was expecting a lot more with how it would end, but oh well

That one game for me where I feel it ticks every tick box in every field. My all-time favorite at this point

We are going to Borealis

Brilliant game, breaking the norms of visual novels with ways that make your emotions flow.

It might just be a visual novel on the outside, but it is really unique game. It makes you think, it makes you feel, it will make you think/feel for longer than how long the game can be.

While it is just a game, it feels more than that, it feels like a story that a lot of people can relate to in one way or another.
Some of the subjects in the game are sadly stuff that are really relevant in today's world and they are executed perfectly, not in some "funny way that make you cringe"

Even if you don't play visual novels normally, I highly suggest picking this game up. Hell, it is free game and takes about 4-5 hours, what do you have to lose, except one evening? Maybe your mind, maybe your emotions get lost in the way. But hopefully you will heal.

I watched Markiplier play this game through and I was left scarred with emotions and such for at least four days. But then I decided to play the game through with my brother. Sure, he didn't like it that much cos he has problems with stress and such, but I felt a relief that I decided to play the game through even though I watched Youtube series on it. I found some answers Mark didn't find, I got to feel the stuff with other person. I felt a lot better after having the experience myself, it was definitely not ruined by the series.

I am going to buy the Fan Pack at some point, cos I seriously think developers deserve it. Dan and co. made a perfect out of the norm game that is free. I might have not picked up the game, if it had cost money, but after how much it left me with after watching vids and playing the actual game, I think buying the Fan Pack is the least I can do.

I hope next game continues this way of waking up your emotions and making it look cutesy, but still horrifying.
It would be a shame, if it was just a generic horror game, Doki Doki does not deserve sequel/prequel like that.

10/10, would recommend to anyone.

Also, Yuri best waifu, even with her weakness to steel items.

One of the better platformer games:

+Metal genre-themed
+Needs thinking, when more challenging levels come up, but can be still beaten after practising
+Over 100 levels + two other modes
+A lot of hidden things to keep you searching
+Sneaky references here and there

-66 hours achievement needs a lot of grinding, since I think I have found most of the things in under 20 hours
-Some tracks were almost impossible to beat, always came out 0.02 seconds too late to get Uber Skull

Cant wait for Workshop Content/Level Editor, since we can create our own levels then!
