It's scary

Loved this game, got sucked right in. The world is immersive, the characters are interesting, and the story has depth. It's really a collect 'em up, that unfolds the narrative as you go about your way, I would say it's kinda a mashup between Pathologic 2 and The Other Wilds (probably with a bit of Danganronpa thrown in at the end - though I haven't played that yet). Music is top notch synthwave affair too. The only thing I would say is that I didn't find it particularly difficult, but it was very satisfying. Highly Recommend

The DLC is great, and it just works, had zero problems on either of my machines (AMD and NVIDIA), so my guess is they fixed most of the bugs people were complaining about.

Coronavirus: The Game

11/10

Some issues getting the game to start at first (installed redist stuff from folder, verify game, and rebooted)
Looks good, and performs well: 60 FPS @ 4k, ultra on a GTX 970
Not played enough to give a full review yet, but so far seems a lot like kiwami, which was a lot of fun.

This is a great rogue-like, couch co-op (sometimes without the co-op bit) variable speed action RPG/sim. When something goes awry, it's hillarious, but the control is very much dependent on your strategy (or lack there of).

Pros:

The graphics are nicely stylised, and run smoothly.
The funniest tutorial I've played in a game so far.
Great for having some friends around, as the learning curve isn't that steep.
It's a bit like a multiplayer hotline miami, with more to do than just killing (although that always an option).
It's still in early access, the dev is very active and is constantly fixing bugs and adding new features.
There is already plenty of content and unlockable characters - each with their own traits/buffs/neuroticisms.
The sim aspect is coming along nicely, interactables work well, NPC's reactions are amusing and well thought out.
Online multiplayer (haven't tried this yet)
Can press enter to chat, would press enter to chat to my friend sat next to me again.
Generative levels are done well.

Cons:

Split screen functionality, can sometimes be confusing, especially when bringing up the map, which covers the whole screen, gets cluttered with 4 people + inventory (quick use commands were not working in multiplayer in alpha 25).
Narrative between levels would be a great addition, especially since it has a classic arcade machine intro.
Plenty of bugs, needs more content, but EA so to be expected.
No FBI loading screen, telling people that "Winners don't use drugs"

11/10

Would use drugs again.

Amazing singleplayer/co-op, zombie, parkour, survival FPS.

If you liked the Dead Island series, this is much better in my opinion.

I requested a refund, as this game has been in EA since it was on the OUYA, and although a lot of features have apparently been added, it still didn't keep us playing longer than 10 minutes before getting bored. I would like to see this game succeed though. I would like to check it out again once it's out of early access.

I really wanted to like this controller, but:

A Different Kind of Gamepad

Notice where the buttons are? If you are used to using PS or xbox controllers, your wrists are going to be parallel if you don't want to be pressing the wrong buttons. Maybe can get used to this if only have steam controllers.

Dual track pads

Notice the lack of second analogue stick, that's okay right because of the extras track pad? Try playing a dual stick shooter with this configuration, hands cramp up in no time, especially when using those buttons.

HD Haptics

Really? The haptics on my 10 year old logitech mouse are more realistic than the supposed track ball (sounds like clicking in an empty plastic shell, barely noticable feel)

Dual Stage Triggers

Yes, though I've yet to witness the benefit of this, hopefully more games will support,

Ergonomic Control

No, I've switched back to using the xbox 360 controller on my main machine.

Mac OS Support

No, well not last time I checked. As I bought this controller for my second rig, which is running Mac OS, I had hoped it would work. Did get an email from Valve apologising and offering Valve complete pack gift for my troubles, but I have not received this. Will chase them up.

TL;DR

Pros:

Can control mouse on desktop
Future revisions have potential, experience game dependant.

Cons

Feels like cheap plastic compared to 360 and DS4.
Buttons in weird place, end up pressing B instead of A most of the time.

Early Access hardware and software by the look of things. Hoped for so much more, will try with recent update on Elite Dangerous at somepoint and update my review if it is positive.

It's Kung Fury, though may require Kung Fury 2.
