Running an i9 and 3060, and have a few performance issues - though changing the graphic settings to medium makes most of them go away and it runs fine. Spent 10 hours playing yesterday on launch and have to say, it's definitely a worthy sequel to the original. Tools are greatly improved and the fidelity of game play features makes managing your cities way more streamlined. Paradox have definitely taken inspiration from big mods in the first and made them baseline tools, performance and bugs/issues will be patched over time, and this game is only going to get better and better - at least it runs and doesn't crash, all bugs I've experienced are more visual than anything and can easily be ignored. If you loved the first game and have a decent PC, I'd recommend it, if you're running a weaker system then maybe hold off for a bit - but I definitely see myself playing this a lot.

Honestly just....a weirdly, never been spoiled for me GEM of a game. Just play it xD It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great

Feels good to have a good, new, competitive Halo

Ori and the Will of the Wisps takes the core feel of the first Ori game, and expands 10 fold on it. I'm only 4 hours in and I'm so invested in this game - not only is it visually breathtaking and beautiful, but the expansion of the universe itself, combat mechanics, platforming and puzzles - is all just done with such a high level of quality and fidelity that the entire team at Moon should be damn proud of this game.

It's everything a Ori sequel should be. 10/10.

INSIDE is nothing more than an achievement in todays over saturated field of accessable, not only indie, but video games in general. The level of story telling and narrative through atmospheric gameplay and world building alone is higher than many AAA games on the market to date, and in the 4 or so hours of gameplay, I felt completely immersed and captivated by the world, story, puzzles and mind ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that goes on in INSIDE.

The level of polish in this game is incredible, to the point where ever simple action I took felt like it had a direct impact of what would happen to me, and I felt a level of disturbance in playing this game that I have never experienced before. In a good way, that is. They managed to get an emotion out of me that I had never experienced in a video game before.

So, to sum up, play this game. Play this game if you liked Limbo. Play this game if you never even played Limbo. Play this game if you hated Limbo. Are you playing it yet? Stop reading my review and just play it already...Jeez...

Basically the Dark Souls of the turn based Dungeon Crawler genre.

It's hard. You will die. A lot. RNG hates you. Prepare your anus.

Another soul battered and broken, cast aside like a spent torch.

Overconfidance is a slow and insidious killer.

10/10, loving this game.

This game feels less stable than some Alpha builds I've seen.

not only is the build quality absolutely garbage, (Even navigating the menu's I was getting 3 to 5 second freezes, which you can imagine making combo-ing incredibly difficult) but the game-content isn't even there! Capcom have literally gone "Content? Nah, It's OK, give us $70 now and we will give you the content and stability later! Promise!".

Its embaressing...

I was super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ excited for this game, as I love SF, have the arcade sticks and all that. But this....♥♥♥♥ this. I'm getting a refund. Would rather spend my money on something worth playing.
