Really good! A worthy successor to the excellent Gundam Breaker 3 (We don't talk about New Gundam Breaker) with more kits and more options. If you like the Gundam Breaker franchise, or are a fan of Gundam in general, you'll probably have a really good time with this game. It's so nice to finally get one that's natively in English, too.

Great SciFi-themed hospital management game, very similar in design to Two Point Hospital, if you're familiar with that game. My first big takeaway from the game was that the music, writing, and voice acting are all really good! Much higher quality than I would have expected from a hospital sim, of all things.

Slight balance issues here and there, but nothing too bad or game breaking. game is a bit more casual of a simulator, somewhere below Project Hospital, but well above the classic Theme Hospital. Two Point Hospital really is a good comparison, if you liked that game, you'll probably like Galacticare and it's styling and sense of humor.

I give it an enthusiastic thumbs up, as one of my favorite games to come out recently!

It's Dwarf Fortress on Steam, with graphics and music. What more needs to be said? This is a game that can speak for itself on how engrossing, engaging, and, indeed, epic it is.

To be perfectly honest, my review isn't going to matter at all, because this game speaks for itself. It's one of the best RPGs of all time, and it's easily going to sweep game of the year.

An excellent team-based shooter game. The Gacha is extremely generous, with enough free pulls and easy-to-earn currency that you'll have a huge variety of suits to choose from without spending any money. The Mobile Suits themselves feel like giant robots, with a slower paced movement and gun game than you'll likely feel used to if you're coming from other titles like Gundam: Evolution, but once you get accustomed to it, that pace feels very good. it's methodical. You have the time to think about where you're heading, and what you need to be doing as you get there, but there is enough action that it still feels faster paced than it actually is.

There's a ridiculous amount of Mobile Suits to play with, representing close to everything from the original 'Universal Century' universe, but keep in mind that's the only one they plan to represent, so no IBO, no Wing, G, OO, or any other such series in this game.

Matchmaking can be a bit weak, though it's much better than it was at launch, and it generally works just fine whenever I try to get in. However, your mileage may vary there as some people still have a lot of trouble getting and staying connected, with harsh penalties if you happen to disconnect mid-match.

All told, I'd highly recommend it, as GBO2 is a fun shooter, with massive variety and customization options, a slower, more thoughtful pace than a lot of similar titles, and one of the most generous gachas I have ever seen in a game. It's also free, which is a massive plus for it. It had a rough launch on PC, but it's in a pretty good spot now.

An extremely good, tight action platformer that looks, feels, and plays like it originally came out on the Sega Genesis. Comes complete with fantastic soundtrack, crunchy compressed screams, and copious amounts of Genesis gore. If you liked games like the Megaman X Series, you'll really like this.

Pretty much a more refined Vermintide. Instead of treasure chests, you have a rotating item shop you can just directly buy from. Instead of the breaking down of all your gear, you find crafting materials in the maps as you play. Little things like that that are just more pleasant than the old system. Gameplay is rock-solid, all the classes feel good and fun to play. Ranged plays a lot bigger role and the guns are fun to use, but it still has that fun melee combat.

Solid dungeon hack-and-slash with loot and light RPG mechanics. Combat is fun, and satisfying; gets a bit more complex and thoughtful as you buy new abilities with the gold you gain and the feat points you get from levels. Graphics are pretty good, sound quality is good, Didn't run into any problems int he first two hours of play, single player, aside from a janky animation or two, but that's not a really big issue.

I've heard people mentioning the AI is braindead, but this is not really correct; at lower difficulty settings, they don't swarm you as much and they attack more infrequently, at higher difficulties that changes quite a bit. Game has a nice directional indicator that shows proximity of enemies and when they're starting attacks on you, so you can parry, block, or dodge as needed. This is good because the camera feels a little sluggish at times and you certainly can't give it a speedy pan-around to check your back often, especially not when you're busy with traps or enemies.

Overall, the game isn't revolutionary or anything, nor is it trying to be. It's trying to be an enjoyable hack-and-slash game, and it does what it does just fine. Well, even. In my opinion. he launch price of $40 seems just about right for what you get, and I imagine it would be a blast with friends, though this review is from playing solo. (It does seem like there's some commonplace launch woes with multiplayer connections sometimes, as you often see these days, but I can't personally give any testimony there.)

Overall, I can recommend it for the price, for fans of beat-em-up style fantasy games. I could make superficial comparisons to the Vermintide games: similar hub, and instancing, similar loot progression, etc. but the enemies are more varied, smaller in group sizes, and it's much more of a progressive, 'fight this group, then move to the next group, as opposed to an endless running fight with occasional pauses.
