Easily one of the best games I have ever played. The controls are instantly familiar and easy to grasp but very hard to master.
Kabounce has 2 primary game modes. The first is a unique team based arena combat where you roll around as a pinball trying to capture all the bumpers and hoops around the arena whilst trying to slam, electrocute and destroy the opposing team whilst stealing points their team has earned. The second is a highly competitive challenge mode where you complete on the global leaderboards to get the fastest time across the challenges. Although each of the challenges are quite short, there is many hours more dedicated to finding faster routes and learning more efficient techniques. Both of these modes unlock a wide variety of cosmetic items (over a few hundred different combinations available) for which you can use to customise your pinball.
Whilst I have not captured any footage of the first gamemode; if you are still unsure of whether to purchase this product I will attach some gameplay of the challenge mode.

it'd be a really good game if there wasnt permadeath. such a shame

Easily one of the worst racing games I have ever played. No sense of driving skill or coordination is needed in the game as your emotions will be tested in this pinball top-down racing arcade game. From the start of the race you'll experience the thrills of being slammed around the corners by the aggressive ai, the sloppy mechanics of the cars with bizarre-ly designed suspension and wheels as well as the surprise of not knowing how your car is going to land a small hill. The AI has insane stats allowing them to catchup to you on every corner but once your more than 2 corners ahead they seem to return to a normal driving style. One massive pro is the track design; both unique and aesthetically pleasing but the cons unfortunately outweigh the pros

I have played this for 5 hours *so far* and this is my overall review

Pros
- First of all the main component of this game is the drifting. Given the price and engine capabilities this was made in I was quite surprised on how smooth and authentic the drifting mechanics are, overall car physics actually. The car handling doesnt seem sloppy or any real existence of understeer / oversteer present
- the graphics are visually appealing. the house is warming and there is a great track layout
- the interactions with items (tyde pods) serve a purpose to the end goal and are laid out in such a manner to help train good drifting techniques
- cheevos

Cons
- there is no button to reset the car to track (if the car goes off the track and crashes into the rocks it might get stuck or simply take a while to get back onto the track)
- there is nitrous but no incentive to use it with no meter on how much you have remaining / the natural acceleration of the vehicle

Overall, I would recommend this game

I ate my watch
It was time consuming

Torchlight II

Sorry I just can't recommend this game in this state. This review is particulary directed to those wishing to purchase the game residing in Oceania and Asia. There are massive issues with the rocket league servers which has persisted over a number of updates and the devs appear to have no intention of fixing the issue. On an average game I would have ~100-180 ping. However, this doesnt represent the true value of the ping as it feels like 900 ping. When you fly up to hit an aerial 4 seconds later you'll find yourself nowhere near the ball and being teleported across the map into the other opponents goal. I have tested multiple different internet providers and locations within my State but the issue still persists. I will be willing to change this review if the issue is resolved. Although this is the only negative its a pretty big factor regarding overall gameplay

The “Just 5 More Minutes” Award + Steam Award Nominations Award

Sometimes I find it hard to sleep at night. One night I decided to open up a broadcast of Euro Truck Sim as my initial opinion was that this game would be boring and upon watching 5 minutes of gameplay I would be sound asleep. I was very wrong. Within a few hours I had befriended the person streaming and was deeply invested in making my own trucking company and taking over the industry. The next day I grabbed my choc milk and waited outside the game store waiting for it to open so I could purchase this game.

Pros
- Very soothing and relaxing gameplay
- Extensive map spreading across most of Europe
- Attention to detail is amazing given the whole surroundings
- Traffic programming was surprising well done. They generally comply with road rules. After 80 hours of gameplay I finally caught a car crash
- Multiplayer
- Extensive mod workshop support. For example I was driving a Pikachu truck in Iceland
- Many trucks to choose from
- Realtime radio ranging with many different genres to suit your taste
- Truck shifting and mechanics overall realistic

Cons
- Some of the cities in different countries look identical
- No mods in multiplayer haha

Now I can't sleep because I lose track of time whilst actually playing this game
10/10
