Fantastic extraction shooter with infinite potential for shenanigans due to its physics, creative enemy design, and mandatory friendly fire. And wrapped up nicely in a hilarious satire of an ultra nationalist dystopia that launches disposable soldiers with 20 minutes of training at enemies that will rip them to shreds.

The mandatory sony account requirements that others have mentioned in negative reviews have since been lifted due to said negative reviews and backlash, so there is no worry about that anymore.

a wonderful little game with some satisfying but low stakes organizing goodness. If it were just that, it'd still be great, but it even tells a relatable story told without a single word as you get to know this person's journey through life in the items you unpack.

as a long time fan, it's just nice to have the games available to play again, and this is a fantastic way to do so

Phantomile plays well aside from a few jankiness that is apparent from being a ps1 platformer from the 90s, and difficulty can often come from the jank rather than deliberate design. Pixel filter also looks surprisingly great, must have been fine tuned rather than just fun through a machine. Also the final ending cutscene is not quite in the same spirit as the original, could use some adjustments to the color grading and animations, as the original was way more impactful because of those things.

Lunatea overall looks great, but is desperately in need of better boss explosion effects, and Klonoa's Ring shot animation is way more stiff than the original. Biggest complaint is one of the levels' aesthetic is completely ruined because of the updated graphics, where the bad lighting making the level impossible to see without a powerup, is no longer the case because of the updated lighting to it, rendering the mechanic moot.

As is, it's a fantastic update to the originals and a fine port. If Namco or modders find a way to fix those issues, it'll be perfect. Klonoa is back and I couldn't be happier.

Great translation of D&D to a video game this side of pillars of eternity.

Tons of choices on how to build your character and playstyle, including tons of non-combat encounters that are just as engaging. everything is voice acted amazingly well, choices matter, and everything else you could want from an RPG.

AND IT'S LOCAL + ONLINE CO OP!

Call up some friends for a party - in more ways than one

Fantastic tycoon-like game where you build and run a prison. Open ended and full of depth and replayability, nice aesthetic style, customizable gameplay styles, and a fantastic example of a well managed and developed early access game.

If you like any games like roller coaster tycoon, you'll love this

Like Destiny but good

In torchlight 2, you kill monsters and earn loot to deck out your character. If you've ever played Fate or Diablo, this is basically that with a neat cartoony art style, fun co op gameplay, and only $20! Tons of content, mod support meaning even more replay ability, and millions of loot drops, I'd love for anyone to get this so I can play with them.
