Highly recommended game featuring horses, encouragement to treat your mental and dental care seriously, and a great message on checking in on your friends when they're going through rough times.

This game fills me with existential dread as I continue to move my factories further from the export hub and receive lesser reward for additional effort later on in the game. It reminds me of the fate of cities - there's exponential growth and rewards for the initial effort put in but eventually those worker jobs are shipped overseas and the folks who were managing them are now managing the extra efforts of all those extra hands, so the local areas start to get more run down over time - infrastructure fails to function when the paths are no longer needed and the system, while on the outside looks operational and has been receiving the same technological upgrades as the rest, continues to fail and fall short.

I think this is the best horror game on steam.

**FORMER BULLETIN**

Gotta get those third party account link metrics up, might as well torpedo the reviews on the best selling simultaneous game release we've had.

- Sony, probably.

**END FORMER BULLETIN**

It's sort of a deck builder that encourages you to clean your apartment. Love it.

Fun? It's a roguelite looter shooter that should be popular with anyone that'd enjoy that sort of thing and especially if they're a furry!

When I saw Synth riders the first time I knew I had to get it. I dug the neo-retro look of it all. The most hype VR game that I've seen and played this year is Beat Saber. I was so worried that this game would feel like a clone of beat saber. I launched it up and had some technical issues, but that's an expectation with an early access game. Restarting the game fixed all of these, so I didn't worry too much about it.
Gameplay is pretty great. This rhythm game is all about hand placement. Put the sphere on a collision course with the orbs that are coming at you and you'll get points. Miss, and you'll lose all your health and need to start over. This game does not try to be Beat Saber.

Let me say that again: my gameplay in Synth Riders never once felt like my gameplay in Beat Saber. Synth riders nails the retro vibe. The maps are a little funky in some places, but the game currently has 13 songs and they all feel _right_. I felt like I was doing 80's aerobics in a neo-retro setting.. and that's exactly what I wanted looking at the outside of this "box".


The good:
- Moves the player around for a good workout.
- Succeeds at the retro vibe.
- Low impact movement contrasts my normal beat saber workout well.


The bad:
- If you miss a note in one of the special zones of a song, especially in the beginning, you could be standing in the middle of the song without any additional suggestions for you to be moving around. Sometimes this feels really long.
- Technical issues
