Hades is a difficult game to master, but it never isn't fun. You constantly feel growth even in death. Every time I die, I'm irritated, but I'm irritated with myself because it was something I could have done better. The game is a lot of things, it's beautiful, the music is excellent, the voice acting is top notch, and most of all, it is fair. It's extremely polished - there is no jank, there is very little cheese. Some runs you play well, some you don't. Some times RNGesus frowns upon you and you just don't have the build you want, but it's always fair. Tons of replayability here. This game will likely be viewed as/win game of the year, and it's well deserved. It has my vote.

As with all VR experiences, screenshots and video can not do it justice. This game needs to be seen in VR to understand. Everything about Moss is beautiful. The scenery, sound effects, and especially the narration. The game is a pretty steep pricepoint, especially with only about 3-3.5 hours worth of content. I bought the game during a Steam sale at a slight discount. Most of the time the game flows very smoothly, but there are a few times that the game breaks it's flow and expects you to know what to do with very little guidance. The puzzles are pretty straightforward and many of them are satisfying.

I can't even begin to describe the depth of this game. You will be changed forever.

Everyone has already mentioned the majority of problems with this game. I just feel like it's very confining. The areas all feel closed in. You can see the skyboxes, and they use flat tree textures for walls in the instanced zones. You can see the square room you are in and it feels like you're in a warehouse with tree wallpaper.

I love Ultima Online, social games, and MMOs, and this game is absolute trash.

Do NOT buy this game.

What did I just play?... I beat this game - I am not proud of this accomplishment.

Rogue Legacy is amazing. Controls feel tight and responsive. Great sense of accomplishment as you progress, every time you go back to shop you come out feeling more like a badass as you destroy monsters that used to give you a hard time. The 'rogue' part of the name implies that the game will be difficult and result in a LOT of deaths, but every time I die I just feel like I need to give it one more try because the gold I earned during the last run makes me stronger.
