I'll say after beating the game and getting 100% on the achievements I can actually say I had a ton of fun playing through this game. It's definitely one of the best Dragon Ball RPGs out there and the game play is really enjoying - though tedious - it's the fact that I can 100% it in under 50 hours. I don't get to game as much, but as a Dragon Ball fan this was certainly one I'll gladly go back to on other systems in the future. Shame we never got the PS5/Xbox Series X|S graphical update, but I'm sure there'll be mods to remedy that. Definitely recommend!

Although I've 100% the game, it is not recommended for; the current price point of $60 CAD, some newcomers would base some level elements BS (returning player here BTW), bad song replacements of certain levels, and in some people's cases some questionable porting (not my words; check Community Board).

Now based on other merits, I'd say this includes a lot despite many people would probably never take the time to view, listen, or watch. Things like adding mission modes that don't feel overly repetitive, pretty much infinite retries (with the cost of coins) on special stages to be able to try out Super and Hyper Sonic after getting the chaos emeralds, awesome animations, and love shown for a beloved character of many childhoods are quite frankly reasons to buy the game. They're older titles and with nostalgia glasses they're really good games.

Now the concern again is the price point, you can easily emulate each of these games with no fuss, buy the games individually cheaper elsewhere, or you can even get collections with the same games and more for a lot cheaper. However, Sonic Origin isn't just any other port, in this package you get a love letter from fans who've cared for Sonic as long as most of us have. Folks like Tyson Heese managed to get get some animations into the game, those guys who made Sonic Mania managed to bring their ports into this title, and supposedly Sonic 3&Knuckles had to be reported to get things to work in a widescreen display.

To be honest, I can somewhat justify the purchase, but that's just on my end though. For most, this game is expensive.

Welcome to *adjusts glasses* "Player Unknown Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds" or simply PUBG: Battlegrounds. A game that has been riddled with bugs, continues to have cheaters, and still has crashes to this very day.

I've been playing this game since those silly memes of "I'm a snake look at me" and "China #1!". I still remember when this BR had no competition like Fortnite or Apex. Sadly, it's a really bad game still, but I figured I'd try it out again bectit went Free to Play, so I wanted to see if we got any perks as longtime owners or if they changed anything.

No perks, but that didn't entirely bother me, but simply due to no changes. How can a game still be so bad and not address concerns? Hell, Halo MCC had bugs like no tomorrow, but they fixed the ♥♥♥♥ out of that game.

The worst offender is that I've put 100s of hours into this game, why am I being forced into a tutorial and AI matches? I'd smack the heck out of the guy who made this decision. Heck, I'd even try to be game director to actually get the devs to fix this sorry excuse of a title.

This is a not recommended game to anyone who reads this. It's simply not worth playing.

I just listened to some amazing music before I can even Draw my first card. While this was happening my opponent Drew Half his Deck. Summoned a monster with 4000 Attack, placed every card he can manage on the field, and also wipe out 3000 life points from me. Again, I didn't even draw a card. Not to mention, when I was able to draw a card it wasn't even my turn to even play. He had quick plays, effects, traps, and spells all ready for me. By that time I was only with 2000 life points left, so I just surrendered. The biggest kicker out of all this, I was on a government call literally trying to solve an issue with my tax issues... What the heck is even Yu-Gi-Oh now? I miss when it was just about Heart of the Cards, but now I'm just sitting there hoping I can play.

This game is not for the impatient anymore... This is a game of RISK (that board game that can take hours to play). I'm done. There's no way I'm continuing this game.

I actually 100%'d this game. Will I ever play it again? I hope not. This game has so much wrong with it that honestly the people who like it are literally meming. The driving mechanics are awful, the collisions are horrific, and it's pretty bad that the devs know they're selling a bad game purely cause the original was memes. Don't buy it and certainly look elsewhere.

Early Access Review
I'm not sure how or why I own this game. I don't recall buying it at all, but apparently I did or it was given to me for free. I was bored and thought why not try my luck. People were saying good things and I was intrigued.

Anyway, I'm not big on Early Access games, but for the time being I was pretty hooked. I'll want to play more eventually. The thing that captivated me was the voice acting, sure, the dialogue kinda is a hit and miss, but the actors did their work. Kudos to the actors. The gameplay, although I dislike the heavy tutorials, is very fun! Looking forward to playing more.

The issues though are most of the time the animations, the cutscenes, and the abrupt music cuts. Obviously there's polish that needs working, but getting that fixed would help a ton in immersiveness.

Do I recommend the game? For the time being, yeah! Give it a shot. You'll know if you'll like it with a 2 hour time frame. I sure am so far.

To be honest, I wasn't sold on the game until I saw Keanu Reeves was going to be part of the game. It did peak my interest as I've been a big fan of cyberpunk type settings and all of that jazz. This game has amazing narrative and to be honest it is what's keeping me interested through my 3 hour play through thus far, but why make a review with just very few hours? To be honest, it's a solid game, but I've literally had 5 soft locks and 2 crashes already. My specs are insanely high, but my graphics card is a GTX 1060 (6GB), so I know it's not me. CD Projekt Red has specified they're working on kinks and optimizations. With all the delays this game has had, you'd think it was to iron out lots of issues a lot of the users have been having. Streamers, content creators, or just people who forked over the money to look forward to this. I'm led with disappointment though, because I want to continue to play without immersion being disrupted by glitches or crashes.

I cannot recommend this game in its current state, but I can however recommend if you're okay with issues like I've had. I want to keep playing, and I probably will continue the game, because I have other games I want to play when they are released. I have faith the game will get more and more patches that'll solve issues, but damn, this game has had more problems I've encountered than Skyrim and Batman Arkham Knight at launch, and that's saying something. Call me a troll, I don't care, because I'm a consumer trying to play a game I've been led to believe that I should be running at beyond recommended specifications other than the GTX 1060 graphic's card.

My SPECS at the moment:
i9 10900-KF
64 GB RAM
GTX 1060 (6GB)
MSI Gaming Edge Motherboard

Will definitely get a 3080 or Ti when they're not being sold by scalpers.

I bought this again to play with friends. I hate my life, but I'm happy they're enjoying playing with me. Kthxbai.

This game surprised me a ton given that it's deemed as shovelware to many. For less than $5 and even at times less than $2 during a sale this game is a very recommended title by me. It's a hack n slash with RPG elements. The game's art style resembles something like Dragon's Crown. I made sure to 100% this game as it really had a style of game that I enjoyed quite a bit. Additionally, the game has an amazing soundtrack and I even listen to it on occasion on Spotify. This review might seem like an ad, but honestly I have no affiliation with the folks who made this game. I'm just very surprised that a game like this is sold for as cheap as it is.

The downsides of the game is that there's some cheap ways to beat the game easily, cheap ways to die, and lots of grinding when it comes to it. I came across this game also to expect a Metroidvania, but I wouldn't really call it that, but I guess there's backtracking in certain areas that grant you new paths upon getting new moves and progressing through the story.

Needless to say, for the price and the obvious enjoyment of the game to even want to 100% it, I'd recommend it.

I'm judging this as a game rather than a political statement. The game is really well made for a "fan-game" of Super Mario Bros. The levels don't teach you the processes of the game too much, so if you're familiar with traditional platformers you know what to expect in the sense of when to jump and what each enemy is capable of doing. For a game it's pretty straight forward though, collect "votes" in the style of coins, knock down your opponents by jumping on their heads, avoid obstacles, and lock up republicans in the style of Koopa/Bowser from Super Mario Bros. 1.

My main complaints are that the hitboxes are pretty janky when you collide with enemies as compared to the votes themselves. The hitbox of the votes are bigger than the sprite itself. There are hidden votes above the User Interface in some levels that don't even indicate that they're there, so I think that might be infuriating to know when and if you're the type of gamer who likes to collect everything. The only level that was a challenge was 4-2 which was only really challenging because you have to use the paratroopas as jump momentum, but only if they're at really high altitude -- you cannot do higher jump momentum like most platformers you're used to. At last, the final level was a real letdown, because the game pretty much gives you a power up at the last bit, and you think you're about to face off against Donald Trump (the final boss), but you're presented with a cutscene that auto-wins for the player. The purpose of video games is to feel rewarded, and I did not feel rewarded in the slightest.

The game is made for "awareness" and to "educate" Bernie's political agenda that may differ from your own opinion. This game is definitely viewed as propaganda to some who play, but as a Canadian myself I don't see how what my own personal opinion matters in the 2020 US political race. As a free game, this was pretty fun for the half hour I got to play. I wish I can stay neutral in terms of recommending the game, because I know people will see this as a way to either discriminate towards a democratic or republican favour. As a game with little to reward other than getting through the levels I can't recommend it, but for the journey to go through some platforming levels, this was pretty fun and short lived.
