Here's the deal with this game:
If you're here for You Don't Know Jack, get this. You know what want out of this, and this game will provide enough of it for you.
If you're here for Drawful... consider getting this, but keep in mind you need to get some mileage out of the other games to make it really worth the price.
If you're here for a well-rounded collection of other party games, get the second party pack instead. Fibbage and Drawful are really the only games carrying this, and even then Fibbage has been replaced in the sequel. The second party pack is a SIGNIFICANTLY better collection across the board.

Amazing shoot-em-up game. Fantastic if you want to start getting into bullet hells.

The first pack was amazing, and this one doesn't dissapoint. In fact, it's better, as it's missing a really obvious "total dud" of a game like the first one had in the form of Word Spud. While the first pack was really only being carried by two of its games, every game in here is entertaining, and while some fare better than others, there's something to love for anyone here.

If you want an fantastic local multiplayer game, get this. It doesn't matter if your friends do not play that many games - it's an incredible, but accessible experience either way, and the more players you can get, the better.

If you're interested in the creative arts, this game will probably speak to you, and it's absolutely worth a try. Sit down, complete it in one sitting (it pretty much will only take 90 minutes), and give yourself time to reflect on it.

It's definitely worth the dive in.

I wanted to like this game, but during launch I couldn't. It had disasterous performance and optimisation to a near-unplayable level, and I considered it one of the greatest disasters of 2015.

Four months later, we have the first patch. Optimisation still isn't perfect, but it's finally a major point of development and support, and the game is much more playable now.

Now I can finally give this game the recommendation it deserves. If you liked the old games, this one is definitely worth a try.

Bat Rats is a physics puzzle game.

Where are the physics?

I'm not really sure.

Step 2: Dial up the FreeKill Hotline

Step 3: Kaboom!

Zero Gear is one of the most shocking examples of backstabbing in gaming. Nimblebit, the company that is better known as the creators of the money extortion machine and pet rock simulator Tiny Tower, took the money and run and the community has never recovered.

It's the fact that the community has never recovered that means you shouldn't buy this game.

Early Access Review
I've been burned many times in the past by Early Access. This is the last time. Victory, in its current state, is nothing short of an underwhelming experience that left me wanting what was promised from the current release.

- Car editing is, to be honest, boring. While the livery editor is decent (if not a little fiddly), the amount of selectable blocks is low and there's no visual customisation outside of that. Customisation of the car's stats is easy but you have to pay a virtual currency to make any changes - eliminating any aspect of trial-and-error.

- Online racing is just awful. With six players maximum on the track and a lobby system that is a completely confusing mess, actually getting into a game is hard enough. Getting into a competitive one with players you can actually *race* against players instead of lapping or being lapped is even harder due to big imbalances.

- While the game isn't free to play, you can tell that it used to be at one point. You can use your gears to purchase boosts to your cars for single races (which is hugely unfair) and doing anything related to new cars costs some. For a game that advertises the freedom you get in modifying cars, you sure are locked out of doing many free things. Even modifying stats costs gears - it just goes too far.

This game has potential, but it's hugely untapped potential, and while the driving model is pretty cool and the upcoming track editor seems promising, in its current state I am not impressed.

F1 Race Stars is incredibly shallow. For your full price you get a grand total of seven tracks with very little variation outside of them. It's a very fun splitscreen experience... that's better suited for a console. F1 Race Stars took plenty of chances but they didn't pay off and for full price you're going to be playing a flawed game that could have been more fun. This is made worse by the fact that the online is dead and the game has trouble reading multiple controllers at times. If you have four guys who'd like to play it and can get it really cheap on a sale, I'd say it could be worth a look at, but F1 Race Stars doesn't do anything for anyone outside of that small, situational demographic and that's just dissapointing.
