Clearly a mix of Vampire Survivors and Death Must Die, but much better than the latter and easily as good as the former. Just a really enjoyable rogue-lite. One of the best out there with a lot of content. It's a must play if you like this style of game.

A very good, but flawed, walking simulator. Graphics, music, and story are all solid. I enjoyed it and would recommend. The flaws for achievement hunters are inexcusable. First, no ability to save except when key events occur--and for me, on a high(ish) end rig, the crashes were frequent enough that I didn't know what things did save, and what didn't. So I have all the requirements for all the achievements, but the crashing made it almost impossible to know which one book, one map, or one missed interaction was holding me back. And that's just not any fun at all. Every single player game must allow saving--there's no excuse for it. Great game but frustrating due to CTDs and I like to find those achievements. Just found out there is a beta save feature on a game that has been out almost a decade. Do better, devs That's lazy.

Ultimately it comes down to what others have said. This is a grind. There's no amount of skill that can overcome a need to grind levels. And as far as I can tell, there's no way to exit the game without alt-tabbing out. Feels like a money grab if you already have the original.

Took me years to get to this and glad I did--graphics are still strong and puts Bethesda to shame in many ways. Easily one of the best games I've played.

Great game--don't normally buy all the DLC for a game but really great game.

I picked up Gris without knowing anything about it, other than the art style looked awesome. If you want to enjoy an experience that is beautiful and thoughtful, then this is a game for you. It isn't a walking simulator, but it isn't a hardcore platformer either. Gris is just a special game, simple in concept, but almost flawlessly executed. The kind of game that other games wish they could be when they grow up.

My computer isn't high end, but not terrible... using a GTX 1070 and i5 7400 (only 3gzh quad core). I can still run almost anything at least on medium settings and games like FO4 on ultra without issues. I can't run WFTO well at all. Load times are ridiculous--no game should take 3 minutes to load. I've spent more time finding bug fixes than I have playing. Gameplay itself is less friendly than Dungeons III, which I really enjoyed.

Editing review and may edit again. Developer is one of the few who actively responds in forums. Some of the issues I've had are experienced by others--longer initial boot times and (if I understood correctly) some texture issues on the initial load screen). The GPU error message I got is also possibly a glitch as my GPU was running the game. Thinking of picking it up again during the next sale and will update the recommendation after a few more hours of playtime. Tentatively don't recommend. Too risky to pay full price for me right now. TBD.

This one is hard. The game gets a lot of praise and it's easy to see why. The storytelling is really solid, but I didn't like the lack of resolution on certain characters. There were too many open plotlines for me to be able to recommend the game and I'd been looking forward to playing it for a long time. In most ways it's a lot better than a game like Dear Esther, but in a couple important ways, it just isn't. I want to recommend the game--it might be worth playing and most really enjoy it. But for story, To the Moon was a lot more impactful. I wish this title had just spent another few minutes explaining one or two things--I really didn't enjoy that as it felt lazy (to me). Not gonna' recommend and that's a shame.

Still hear people complain this isn't Fallout enough or NV is better, but I'm enjoying it a lot. It's a little easy to create an overpowered character, but I still enjoy the combat and the RPG elements. The settlement system is nice--I'm enjoying building out settlements and learning how to use glitches to have items powered wirelessly (Skooled Zone's no mods shop classes are awesome FO4 videos on YouTube). I could leave the constant "settlement under attack" missions behind, but overall I'm really enjoying this. One of the best games I've played in a long time--not sure why it took me years to start playing. Maybe i should finally install Skyrim now too...

Tough to say whether to recommend or not. Starts off with interesting concept and a few levels where timing is actually pretty tricky and things are added. But then the game adds nothing for the the 2nd half. Like nothing at all, but it provides a way to slow time to make it even easier. Once you figure out how to solve one stage, you can solve every stage the same way. So at full price (even $4.99) this isn't worth it unless you're under 10. I think my son would struggle with some stages. If you want to kill a few hours and it's 90% off, then worth it--but maybe the sequels are better than this / more challenging. Granted, I knew it would be easy and took the chance anyway. Recommending if you get this in a massive sale. A little more work from the devs could have made this a much better experience.
