The best biking game out there.
One of the most beautiful games ever. The atmosphere is incredible.
The trails are magnificent to ride through. So well designed, with so many branching paths to take.
The sound is perfectly calm. Lovely bird calls, running water, wind, etc.
Makes me want to ride in nature for real.
Game can be enjoyed casually, or you can go for the quite difficult challenges on offer.
Can't recommend it enough. Even at full price. DLCs are all great too.

Loved the original meatboy.
This is a worthy successor.
I actually enjoy the autorun mechanic, it works so well with the levels they have designed.
The levels are topnotch. Quite challenging, yet enjoyable, with some interesting mechanics.
The artwork and style is brilliant in game and cutscenes.
The story (as small as it is) actually makes me care about the characters.
I really want to rescue poor little Nugget.
Really impressed with this game.

Fun party game!
Having a great time playing this with my kids.
So many gameplay options just like the other games in the series.
So happy to see this game getting updates.

In summary!
One of the best games I've played in my near 40 year life!

Way better ARPG than I thought it would be.
Combat is super fun.
Graphics and sound are charming.
Levels look great and are fun to explore.
Items and skills may seem a little simple at first, but every number and stat actually has impact.
Probably the most fun I've had hunting for items in a game.
Also I can play it with the kids :)

This game has some really great atmosphere to it.
I love the steam, and lighting (or lack of lighting) effects.
I love the ambient sounds echoing around the hallways.
I love the animations of your character yanking open ammo crates and freezers, or just laying down for a quick rest.
All these vision impairing effects mixed with the little critters and deadly monstrosities running around in the Pit of DOOOOOM (the game's old name), and you get a fairly often occurring sense of panic. In a good way.

I love this game! It's great to play with friends and family. When you first play its easy but when you keep playing it starts to get hard and frustrating. I think it should be rated 8+ because it can be really really hard.
But other than that it is a really awesome game.

My 7 year old daughter says:
This is how to play:
So you're a person chopping stuff. Plus you can burn up the place.
ITS REALLY FUN to burn up the place!!! Plus there is dog ... named Kevin. I think Kevin is a crazy name for a dog.

I say:
It's a cool game to play with the kids, but can get infuriating trying to unlock new levels when the game is so hard.
You really need good teamwork.
Good for shorter game sessions I think.

Really fun class to play so far.
I like the ability to switch between ranged and melee on the fly.
And how the skills change depending on your stance.

I love this game. It's not my favourite, but it is probably my 3rd favourite video game. I like how you can change it to On A Roll 2D. It is my favourite platform game. I give it this game a BIG THUMBS UP!
