Cool mechanics and feels good, but no option for infinite continues feels way too hard for a noob like me.

A lukewarm recommandation.
The game is good. The puzzle mechanics are very smartly designed, the game looks good, it sounds nice.
However, it is way too short. It took me 5 hours to complete with all the side content (but not all secrets), and it feels like playing a series of tutorials for very cool mechanics with only a few semi-challenging puzzles. There's never a big payout where everything you've learned comes together. You don't get the "ah-ha!" moments that come from struggling with a challenging puzzle for a while. Even the optional content is too straightforward. It will leave you wanting more.
The story is the exact cliché of "pretentious indie game". The writing is not great, but at least it's not annoying, you can just speed through reading the text.
The low amount of content makes it difficult to recommend for the full price, but it's a nice little experience that will be worth picking up on sale.

Beautiful little adventure twin stick shooter. Definite recommend at the full 15€ price, and a no-brainer pick up if it goes on sale for 10€ or lower.
The game is pretty simple, but the level of execution and polish is really nice. It looks and feels great to play the whole way through. Nice very simple "story" and characters that add just a touch of personality. The game offers some challenge but isn't punishing, so overall it's pretty easy to progress and you never really feel frustrated. I imagine the hard mode will satisfy those looking for a harder experience.
I would have liked a bit more customization (maybe picking different weapon loadouts so you can change your playstyle), but the game is short enough that it wasn't a big deal.
In normal difficulty, it took me 7 hours to reach the credits at 100% completion, and 10 hours to finish everything (all achievements except hard mode). Finishing the game is "easy" enough for most people to reach, and the post-game is a nice level of challenge if you still want more.
I liked the little meta "easter egg" at the very, very end, putting a nice bow on this tight experience.
Looking forward to this studio's next game. (Also, is it weird that I guessed it was a french game as I was playing it? lol)

A must play! It's one of my favourite games of the last few years, and an experience I won't forget anytime soon.
Platform/puzzler/metroidvania without combat, incredibly smart design, and lets you figure out the cool stuff on your own. It hits some of the same notes as Outer Wilds, with lots of discovery and "woah, really?" moments. Beautiful graphics too.
Anyone can probably beat the game and hit the credits, which is very satisfying, and for those who love headscratchers you can go much further in depth. On this note, I'll go back to look for more secrets...

Still a few tech issues a few days after launch, but damn is it fun.
The most surprising part for me was how fun it is with random people with no mics, even on higher difficulty. Players tend to cooperate without even needing to say a word, just a ping here and there to decide where to go next.
I hadn't really paid attention to Arrowhead since the excellent (but flawed) Magicka, and it seems they really have a knack to make excellent co-op games.

Pretty neat DLC, but it's way too expensive for the tiny amount of content (5 levels, all of them quite short). I was also a little disappointed that the "story" (in-game messages) is from the perspective of a film crew making BTTF, and not in-universe.
I don't mind paying for the DLCs (this and Spongebob) because the main game is an amazing value and keeps getting significant free updates. But objectively, I can't recommend getting them unless you're a huge fan of Powerwash Sim and/or the franchise being represented.

The amount of content feels a bit light for the price, it feels like it should be more like 5€. The levels are fun to play through though, with a nice art style and full of references for fans of the show. All in all I didn't mind paying 8€ for this as I got so much out of the base game and free DLCs already, so I see it as just giving more money to the devs for their awesome work.

What a waste of time. Boring and very little actual gameplay, and the only Deck-specific thing it does is to make you press the back buttons once. Skip this and spend the 30 minutes on a good game.
