needs more work but whats here already is amazing, rebalancing the positive and negative perks chosen at character creation as well as the classes is one of them but in general the durability of items (which is modifiable in the sandbox settings) and the variety of equipment is very low at the moment which is something that can be fixed with the ongoing updates the devs have promised.

CRAB BATTLE

great game idea, horrible execution and balance. last update particularly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ things hard given the devs decided that to slow combat down, they must make it into "camp a door and keep killing the whole 100ish dudes per floor so you dont get one shot by whatever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the enemies have while you have a sharp stick" game style. with some fixes and refinements it would be fine but given you quickly end up getting an unrecoverable disaster spiral the moment you get hurt its not worth getting yet

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
literally the morning after I posted this review the devs fixed the "aggro literally everyone on the map as soon as you fart" issue so a large part of instant unrecoverable disaster spiral is gone
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
New update has solved basically all the major complaints I had previously with the others having been fixed earlier, some QoL changes would be nice but those are very subjective and not major enough to change my mind that this game is well worth picking up now

back to this old song and dance. while I dont think the game is ruined with the new update and frankly a lot of the new stuff is cool a lot of the changes are just stupid and reduce the fun massively because a few nerds on the balance team got majorly buttflustered over players enjoying the few weapons that weren't nerfed.
also while we are at it stop making the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ship upgrades cost most of our (patheticly low) cap of resources. nothing has made me and almost everyone I know less interested in playing the game and upgrading our stuff than seeing these miniscule improvements that cost 250 / 150 / 50 or some other ridiculous number of samples that we get at a rate that is insulting

forgot to mention - still unavailable in 170+ countries

was hard to recommend before the 0.40 patch, now that weapons have been overhauled it is much easier. enemies no longer shoot you from off screen with any peashooter and one shot you while your rifle plinks away at them and does nothing. systems are basic but good and game looks like it could shape up to be a good solo extraction type game

easily the best souls like made by a company that isn't From, it is easily comparable to their weaker entries and I am very excited for what is to come from this dev studio. even better the response from devs has been excellent with regard to player experience and understanding how to modify the difficulty curve so that the ceiling is not really lowered but the floor is raised

great remake of RE4 with very few issues, the most glaring one is the VA for Ada which is notably worse and just sounds so much lower quality than everyone else even in her DLC. It comes across like she couldn't muster up enough to give a ♥♥♥♥ about her lines. outside of this I cannot recommend this enough, the changes are almost entirely positive and the reworked environments are great, the gameplay is great and they even managed to take enemies and ideas that got overused and frankly ruined by just being thrown in time and again as the series went on into something that brings back the tension and the actual fear you feel from things such as encountering Dr Salvador or the Bella Sisters the first time

Fromsoft returns to one of their classic IPs with an absolute smash hit taking the best of what they learned from their time with the soulsborne series and Sekiro but keeping the spirit of Armoured Core and giving us an absolute joy to play. expect to be frustrated, have your teeth kicked in, question if there even is a god and at the end stand over the many scattered parts of your foes who are in even worse states of ruin than you ever were

dumb fun roblox battlefield but more like the good battlefield

I got the game ages ago, I bought the DLC recently. the black market DLC is ok but the Into the Rift DLC is absolute garbage that routinely causes complete server desync no matter what is tried. it even causes problems in solo play because this game is such a hack job it that it cannot handle the absolute flood of enemies it throws at you for "difficulty" in these missions without nigh on crashing everyone when someone tries it. this is tested with hosting from their recommended server hosts on vanilla gameplay so it isn't mod interactions or having scummy hosting (or at least scummier than the devs themselves recommend which I am starting to believe is one of their friends hosting servers from a laptop on stolen McDonalds wifi)

there are a lot of things this game could be but it fails to be anything but sub standard
