Northern Cyprus is an illegitimate state and Turkey should recognise the Armenian Genocide

Okay, legit an experience I've been fantasizing of for a while. Feels like the game was made by an alternate reality me. All three dragons raise subjects that are dear to me (most importantly, Alexander talking about feeling safe and having space to be himself). The dragons have really deep personalities in addition to their huge ♥♥♥♥♥ and balls.

Also Alexander feels very relatable with his synesthesia.

Addictive as hell!
One thing I don't like is that they encourage throwing away broken components, including batteries (!!!), with regular trash.

Absolutely amazing optimization! The devs made a specialized engine in C++ and it shows: stable 1080p60fps on a potato, and tons of fun on mobile devices. Gameplay has plenty of variety, and the story and design are fun too. If you love roguelikes, give this a go!

Fun, and popular for a reason, but very poorly optimized for such a simple 2D roguelike, perhaps on account of being made on the Unity slop engine. My machine can run it well, but testing it at specs close to "recommended" ones shows that it barely runs at 720p30fps, and constantly crashes due to running out of RAM and VRAM. So, it needs at least 12GB of RAM, ideally 16GB, and at least 4GB of VRAM, if not more.
Nobody should be using Unity.
Edit: Considering that some more complex Unity games run better on the same low-end specs (8GB RAM handheld), I think the devs of CotL are to blame, not the Unity engine.

I love this game, but as it's already drowning in a sea of positivity, I'm going to post a negative review because critique needs to be visible.
Chapter 3 is atrocious from a game design perspective. It's ridiculously easy to lock yourself out of S-rank content. I did not sign up to play a surprise rhythm game and have my performance judged in a way that locks me out of a part of the game. And yes, I know there are ways to bypass it but it's ridiculously easy to lock yourself out of both.

Clearly inspired by Disco Elysium, but doesn't feel like a knockoff. It can very much stand on its own legs. Absolute cinema.

The game is expensive and rather janky at times, but that's the price of perhaps the best WW2 airsim on the market. Coming to this after trying to play War Thunder simulator battles is extremely refreshing. Experiencing this with a HOTAS in VR is amazing.
The game is so detailed you can open your cockpit and fire your flare gun outside. I'd argue it's way better than DCS as it doesn't suffer from the inconsistent quality of modules and takes up only 80GB instead of 220GB.

This was actually the first "hardcore" platformer I've played, and it certainly was an amazing introduction. The story is witty and fun, while managing to be quite deep. And the soundtrack... the soundtrack is amazing, especially the ending song.

До сих пор игра не имеет даже подобия баланса. Проходить за реформатора практически невозможно, так как реформистские доктрины гарантируют, что у игрока всегда будут в минусе "политические очки" (совершенно не нужная в игре "мана"), выдуманный разрабами "постмодернизм" в одиночку убивает образование, а коррупцию искоренить невозможно, так как без огромных вкладов в конвертики чиновникам и генералам начинают буянить соответственно республики и генералы. У меня ещё не было ни одного прохождения, где генералы не имели бы -10 лояльности в месяц, как бы их не ублажали. Выгоднее уже просто на них забить и позволить им каждый месяц устраивать мятеж, ведь лояльное население можно призывать на защиту сколько угодно раз.

Неформал-Социалисты показаны как-то странно. Явно в какой-то момент разработки они были троцкистами, но потом их решили переделать в ортодоксальных марксистов по типу Кагарлицкого. И получился полный бред, где они выступают за культ Троцкого и трудовые лагеря, но максимально либеральную свободу слова и референдумы.

В общем, эта студия продолжает "радовать", потакая в первую очередь целевой аудитории - нацболам и сталинистам.
