A lite Zelda game with impecable humor

Cute little platformer that will keep you entertained on a weekend or slow day. Each level is quite short so you can also leave it and pick it up later where you dropped off. The humor is on point!

The only part I didn't like was in World 4 with the multiple mushrooms in a row with different orientations. It felt too chaotic and I was at the mercy of the mushrooms. This doesn't happen when, for example, all the mushrooms are vertical and next to each other .

Also a weird thing is the fact that sometimes the levels have checkpoints and sometimes not. When they exist, they are in odd places sometimes too like really near the end of the level.

Good puzzles and a nice sequel to The Talos Principle.
To me there was too much lore and non-puzzle things to do and I ended skipping a lot of it.

Very fun puzzle game! It has a simple set of rules that increasingly get harder.
You never have to guess to find the solution

Helldivers 2 is fun to play with friends, randoms, or alone. There's enough mission variety and difficulty to be entertained for hours.

The game seems stable now, weeks after release. Feel free to see my initial thoughts below the line.

Was stuck for over half an hour in the queue to get in the game. Couldn't even try it.

EDIT: I could enter the game and play some missions. However, the following day I tried to play. It took me over half an hour again just to enter. I selected a mission and the game crashed so even after waiting all of that time, I still couldn't play

EDIT2: After that crash I spent over an hour more and wasn't able to get in the game. At this point I spent about the same time playing as waiting to be let in

EDIT3: The log in looks to be stable now but I am still experiencing bugs like crashes or just not being able to join a squad. When the game works it is fun, but sadly sometimes it doesn't work and ruins the experience

Muy buen metroidvania! Recomiendo fuertemente jugarlo con las voces en español. El voice acting esta muy bueno.

It's a good game that gets brutal right off the bat.
Gameplay is like the motorbike Trials games, with a metroidvania on top. It is a departure of the metroidvania genre so that could be either good or bad depending on your taste.
I got lost quite a bit and I had to open the map often (but that may be just me).
The only thing I didn't like is the fact that the last mission took a while to trigger for me. You have to wait for an event and I had nothing to do as I had done the side missions before.

Highly recommended. The runs are short enough that you can play any day...or multiple a day, if you are like me :)
The dual lane separates it from other deckbuilers at the gameplay level, and the music/visuals from the aesthetics level.
The difficulty is easier than Slay the Spire, and on par with other deckbuilders.
There are several factions which set your starter deck, and there's variety all over the place. On top of that, you have bells that you can toggle on/off which add one pro and one con.

Very good tactics game! You have a certain amount of energy each turn that you can spend on spawning minions, or playing cards (moving, attacking, etc). Each unit has one free attack each turn too. The most important unit is your commander, as if they die you lose.
The decks are different enough so that each one of them have their own playstyle. They have signature cards and commanders unique to them.

There's a lot of content: main story, challenge levels, and side quests. Highly recommended!

Not the game for me. The character moves painfully slow and it is not an engaging game: I wasn't solving puzzles, I was just doing the only thing I could do in front of me.
