One of the best games I have played in genuinely years. Easily up there with Baldur's Gate 3 for a person like me.

Combat is fun and personally reminds me of Into The Breach in some aspects (Certain spells, movement, etc.)

Story is unique and interesting at every step.

Only complaint I could give is the infrequency of autosaves, especially with a couple Out of Combat deaths that feel a bit like a kick in the Deep Ones.

Imagine playing Dead Cells, Ultrakill, and Crypt of the Necrodancer. Take the worst parts of those games and put it in one game.

Run into something that could pass as a 'tutorial' about 10 minutes in to the game. Tells you absolutely nothing besides a button order and forces you to pick up the revolver. Manage to figure out the first door is trying to get you to counter attack. Fail to counter attack 10 times because there's no explanation for how it works besides that it "counters the attack". Manage to figure out that you need to shoot the wall in the slight moment after being hit. Fail to figure out whether the actual counter-shot needs to be on beat or not. Fail 4 times.

Get through the door.

It's the exact same tutorial with a different button order and an even more confusing ability.

End up filing for a refund and leaving a negative review.

Go play Ultrakill if you like the shooting, Dead Cells if you like the Rogue-like elements, or Crypt of the Necrodancer if you like Rhythm Combat.

Wait 2 minutes for a match. Get matched with the same guy you just fought who is several ranks above you. Get 1/5th of a card pack. Repeat.

Too many cards are useless and too many are guaranteed wins.

TL;DR I recommend the game if it's on sale, but if it doesn't click it doesn't click.

Has a great style, concept, and decent execution, but it really needs a LOT more content and some reworks of current game mechanics at nearly the core level.

Effectively, it's Dwarf Fortress. Your characters aren't *entirely* uncontrollable, but they primarily do tasks when they want to. You don't have to worry about their needs for the most part at least. The major direct control is through the honestly pretty fun combat. Major problem is the steep difficulty curve and not-so-clear difficulty of Villain encounters. The inability to gain research through anything but removing Villains also means that if you pick a poor research, you can easily fall into the trap of not being able to get strong enough units for the next villain.

The building is alright, but a little obtuse. Think Dwarf Fortress but simpler. Z-Level and Grid based, but with far fewer options in both good and bad ways.

Crafting is also odd, with several items not actually costing materials, or with a material cost that feels wildly abnormal. Like metal gloves requiring a fifth of the material of other armor pieces. Gaining materials is also not a very involved process, but it is very luck/time dependent. All materials are dropped in rather high quantities so the major difficulty is trying to find them.

Probably one of the best survival games I have played in years. Absolutely packed with personality, responsive devs that interact with the community, great world building, and a perfect combination of humor and horror. The style is a nice homage to Half-Life while still being easily readable.

I easily got ~10 hours of gameplay out of the last demo, and that was just the game's first sector. I HIGHLY recommend you play this game.

Of course, we've all got larvae to feed, don't we? Be a pal and fetch your coworker a snack.

Fulfills what I wanted from Subnautica, and I no longer need to buy brown pants.

!!DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!

Game is entirely dead. Rounds barely get to a third of player capacity, and the game is no longer being maintained. DO NOT BUY IT.

Amazing spin on the "Deckbuilder" genre. Lives up to the 'Chaos' part of the name perfectly.

Apparently Tutorials are currently broken. I'm keeping this as Negative so people will read it:
IF YOU WANT TO DO THE TUTORIAL, SWAP TO THE 'previous' BETA IN THE GAME PROPERTIES!

80% of the Game's content is on 300 USD of DLC. I shouldn't have to tell you how that is a bad thing for a game with multiplayer.
