TO ALL YOU INCOMPOTENT MICROSOFT GLUE-HUFFING, MARTINI SIPPING PILES OF LARD:

You have destroyed one of the few most unique game studios. You have spit in the face of true talent even after they brought in much success. You have killed truly unique and fun games while pumping life support into boring, soulless live-service trash.

I sincerely hope, that whoever is responsible behind the shutdown of Tango Gameworks, chokes on their breakfast cereal and wakes up homeless in a trash pile, because that's where you belong. Let your filthy, corrupting hands never touch the gaming industry again, you predators.

RIP Tango Gameworks. If you developers see this - please come together to make your own studio free of Microsoft incompetence. You came out with such bangers - you never even needed years of marketing hype and false promises to deliver masterpieces. We can't let your talent be snuffed out by greedy corpo brown-stains. I sincerely wish you the best, and will await your comeback.

I just love this game.
Came out of nowhere. Zero marketing. So fresh, so refreshing, so unique, OOZING with creativity, style, passion and fun.
And the music is just so amazing. I don't even like rhythm games because I suck at them, yet this one is so fun and friendly to get into (not that it's easy either!). It really takes you back to times when games were made for good ol' fun. Gives the Jet Set Radio vibes, from the popping color palette, to the cartoony style, to the wacky premise, and to the amazing soundtracks.
And no day one DLC, no battlepasses, or preorder bs. All DLCs are just nice little cosmetics for a singleplayer game to show support and appreciation for the devs.

I bought everything about this game at full price. I just want to shove money into the devs faces telling them "YES, MORE OF THIS, KEEP GOING". Really spits in the face of all the crappy modern game practices by going against the convention.

See you in Killing Floor 3 I guess

Community won, for now.

A mechanical and technical marvel, sure.
But it is the only game where winning puts you on a negative balance.

The only time you're going to actually "earn" in-game currency is if you get or pay for large boosters and premium, and even then, you'll probably get unfairly matched and totally flunk it with zero profit. You NEED a premium vehicle, like a plane, to gain any profit in currency.

And the currency you need for this game is vital for everything - purchasing new vehicles, upgrading, and even REPAIRING them. That means if your vehicles are destroyed and you have no cash you can't even play the game and have to go back to the starter vehicles and grind enough money just to repair some of your latest vehicles.

This isn't fun. This is a full-time job.
That's why I only enjoy playing Warthunder for like 1 or 2 matches a day so I can get and use the daily free boosters. This ensures I don't go negative in balance - but can you see how it punishes players for just playing? Terrible economy design. Can only recommend if fixed.

Update: Sadly the dev kinda abandoned it but not in an "unfinished" state - rather without new content after launch. It is still a very complete and fun package - recommended!

Such a great little game! Simple yet very fun and attention grabbing! It's in early stage, but its well worth every cent even at this point! I absolutely love the gameplay, artstyle, and especially the songs that are very reminiscent of the Red Alert soundtrack - very energetic, pumping and fitting! Definitely worth grabbing! Can't wait to see more content and updates!

I really loved this sequel! While it's not as industry changing as the first Mirror's Edge, it is still a bigger and (arguably) better version of Mirror's Edge's world. You can now explore the breathtaking City of Glass at your own leisure - taking in the sights and doing stunts as much as you want.
Some people don't like the change to an openworld, but I welcome it as it allows me to be in this world freely.

Gameplay is excellent, with the controls very easy yet fluid and to learn. Parkour feels amazing.
Graphics too are gorgeous, especially with that ultra-clean white and glass aesthetic of the city.
There are also day and night cycles so you get to see the beautiful environment in both the bright of the day and the deep of the night, and it is stunning in both times!

This game makes me relax and appreciate the sights. It makes me feel the fresh air and makes me enjoy the feeling of freedom it gives.

Definitely recommended!

"as usual my team is the worst" simulator

A fantastic comeback of the series. An extremely smooth and gratifying experience. No other game makes you feel like such a badass doing badass things such as smashing demon heads into pieces while in Hell. Definitely recommended, even if you have Doom Eternal.
(also I like the Praetor Suit here more than in Doom Eternal)

Classic RTS. My all time favorite, as it considers most aspects and progression through ages of civilization.

Killing Floor represents the same philosophy and lifestyle of DOOM. The joy of killing baddies in the most awesome ways. The feel of the weapons, the movement, the enemies, the bosses, the slow motion, the metal music, and the blood and violence. It all mixes in so well that you feel like such a badass. But why do it alone? Play with up to 5 other people and make them bleed! Supports mods, so even more!

While there are downs to the game, like some weapons nerfed too much, and new weapons coming out as very expansive DLCs, the game is still very much playable even without any of the new weapons. Plus, if you play with someone who bought that DLC, you can use that DLC weapon in that match.

Overall, highly recommended!
Also made me a metal head! Cheers to zYnthetic and Demon Hunter, and many more! The game wouldn't be without that music!

HEY YOU! Yes, you!
Do you like getting stunlock spammed?
Do you like being juggled midair till you die?
Do you like making 1 small mistake and then having your character launched into the stratosphere and combo juggle-spammed midair from 100 HP to 0 HP while all you can do is just watch?

No?

Well get the hell out of here then. This is the only thing this game is about.
And to all the "skillful" "players" who do this - God invented cancer just for you. Bon appetit and good riddance.

UPDATE: They ****** it up. No Steam Marketplace. Randomized stats which can be rerolled for money. A good number of cosmetics locked behind KP shop (real money). Useless DP points for unlocking skills (that are tedious to get and limited per day). Everyone have same character stats now, so no customization of stats. Way to kill a game, gg.

Mostly PVP, but does have a solid PVE base too.

Lots of frustrating moments, especially if due to balancing issues, lag or bugs. But it's really fun with friends, or when you're winning with a good teammate (rare af). Has a very good character customization system as well. Pretty good overall.
