Incredible game. There are over 500,000 other positive reviews, no words needed.

But uh, Act 3 gets kinda ehhhh. That's it.

Resubmitting this review after extended playtime.

This game is fantastic, but what you need to understand is that it requires a LOT of practice to get really good at the game, the amount of cool maneuvers and skips you can pull off is amazing, but you will likely make a lot of mistakes.

Lots of people are coming in here with 1-2 hour playtimes getting pissed at the controls, and it reminds me of the Sonic Adventure games, where the controls feel bad on your initial playthrough, but the more you practice and get better the more you learn the control scheme and can do some crazy jumps you never would have been able to pull off in your first hour or two.

The one thing I will fully agree with is that the Yo-Yo ride move feels sluggish at points, like your initial turning rate is bad but gets better after a few seconds. There are do or die sections which rely on this move and it can still feel awkward after 10+ hours.

As far as bugs / crashes go I haven't experienced a single issue, it has been a totally smooth 144hz experience with no hiccups or anything. It might be an AMD graphics issue? I run on Nvidia and its been smooth for me, so maybe do some research if you have an AMD card.

The game could definitely use a bug fixing and minor tuning patch, but if you are the kind of person who loves in depth movement in platformers, are feverishly looking for a new game, and can laugh off some mistakes instead of blaming the game, Penny's Big Breakaway is definetly for you.

It's a great game that is capable of so much more, but left me satisfied for the price of admission.

Tightening up some of the level design, adding more moves / traversal options, and expanding into more varied level themes is what I would love to see in a sequel / part 2.

Playable Alexis or riot.

Can we stop it with the stupid yellow paint on everything? Please?

This is better than the original Seperate Ways, which is to be expected. A lot of content was taken from cut sections of the original Resident Evil 4, and they are all done a little worse. Which pretty much describes Resident Evil 4 Remake in general;

"It's like the original, but not as good. It's still good though."

There are still good reasons to go back to the original, but as a long time fan of Dead Space... this has pretty much supplanted the original.

It's a worse version of Resident Evil 4.

But being worse than the best game ever made still means you're pretty damn good.

Yeah, that Overwhelmingly Positive score has no caveats. The game is THAT good.

My only criticism is that I wish the different movement styles actually had mechanical differences other than how they look, but that's really it.

This is literally the best 'Jet Set Radio' ever made.

You deserve this, Blizzard.

Your CEO's groping women, breast milk stolen out of the employee lounge, illegal strike busting, not to mention the at this point basic quadrupling down on greedy business practices that are only harmful to the consumer. These are only a miniscule fraction of the things Blizzard tries to sweep under the rug, saving new announcements to share mere hours after the latest article comes out about how toxic this company truly is.

I hated Overwatch ever since they removed all movement tech and skill outside of the original BETA. I hated it for twisting online gaming into a parody of itself. I knew people would hate it eventually, like a kinder egg toy, destined for the trash bin when what little fun has been had. And finally what I was proven right.

You deserve this. And my joy couldn't be sweeter.

If you're like me, and you don't get scared of horror games, then what you will find is a decently fun, short survival game with some cool atmosphere.

The story is fairly bare bones, and the ending wasn't very satisfying, this is a game that seems to be maximising its content with as minimal of a budget as possible.

30$ CAD is a little steep, but it still ended up being a fun experience. 7~/10 if I were to give it a score,. It will probably go up for you if you are a fan of survival horror with inventory management, AND are able to get scared by horror games.

Just doing my part to bring this game to overwhelmingly positive reviews.

This game just... 'screams' classic. Something about it seems so quaint, but so masterful at the same time. The aesthetics, the music, the variety in weapons and enemies, all of it is just pure fun.

If you have any love for classic shooters, survival horror, System Shock 2, or even Prey (2017) you will love this game to bits.

edit: That ending was really bad though. The only major blemish on a great game.
