This is pretty horrible.

Pretty basic and generic. Has evolved a lot since its original inception but it has taken so long to get to 1.0 it just cant keep up.

I got this for free:

I love this game. I have been a big fan of the series since it began thanks to my father but I have only become more of a fan over the years. I thought 3 was a step backwards but it did come up with some nice QOL features that really compliment the style of game. This game however takes the series where I feel it should have been with DIablo 3.

Season 1 wasnt great, the xp curve is still a little to much. Season 2 has made a lot of good changes and Blizzard seems to really be listening and curating community feedback.

I wish they would follow the Destiny 2 or even Diablo Immortal season style over their current style though. I am not a fan of starting over. Especially when the level grind takes so long.

Gameplay is the best in the series. Huge variety in character builds. Has the best campaign in the franchise , and it looks insanely good.

8.8/10

Airship Syndicate promoted a live-service MMO action RPG game, along with a battlepass and micro-transactions. Without any transparency and communication, they did a complete 180 and silently made it into a single-player game. They removed all micro-transactions, which made all of the founder's packages worthless (upward value of 130+ dollars).

Steam refused my refund for the founder's packs despite me not receiving any of the original value that was promised. The biggest issue with all of this is they decided on their terms they would start making a single-player game without community consensus.

They paid their 89 employees for 3+ months to develop the single-player version of the game (unbeknownst to the community) using the money from the founder's packages/early access, when they instead could have issued refunds at that point and moved on to their next venture.

They Claim it lies at Fault of Digital Extremes but what remains is people who bought Founders packs have been scammed. As have peoplle who bought any rmts until that has also been rectified.

There are many news outlets covering the Bait and Switch from mmo live service to single player/coop which i can give props for but thats the 25$ product where is the other 120+ de-evolution. No one is talking about the founders being ripped off.

Thus until something is done this has been a bigger scam than the Day Before =/ at least they got their money back.

This is a stacking physics-based game and is pretty enjoyable.

I wish it were a little more accessible friendly but overall it's a fun game and its cheap to boot. If you are a fan of physics games and wanna challenge your brain check it out.

I also really liked the interface and how the leaderboard shows friend's scores.

The positives:
Music
Graphics

The negatives:
smallest amount of content in a survivors styled game thus far
very few items and upgrades
short levels/runs
Short on variety all around.
minor hitbox problems
no attack speed boosts (so far)
cant rebind controls
no accessibility options, or any options

I suggest this to be a wait and buy. Plenty of other games similar to it that are way better, cheaper, and just have more content. Even by early access standards.

Aside from its mislabeling and the sexual content this game is a pretty darn good metroidvania game.

I do however have an issue with them calling it a lighthearted game. Why ? Well when you die or get stunned you get molested or raped by the creatures of the game. That is far from lighthearted. I don' even mind sexual content in games it is just the way this game goes about it and the razor statement for the game is just false.

I suppose if you take out the sex elements it can be lighthearted but until then one can never call rape lighthearted.

So for the reasoning of the context used within the sexual content label I must say NO to Eroico.

Played on Gamepass. Loved it so much. Great jrpg style experience. Wonderful art.

Wish there was more customization and character build control.

Great card game.

Very different than most card games.

Especially for the free to play players. This isn't a greed monger game. Its accessible for all!

Game runs fine at 1440p on highest with raytracing on, on my 2080 super which if you were to do any research about the game you would know this game is suggested to use a 30xx series card for 1440 on high.

Watch when people are complaining about performance and if they arent using a 20xx, 30xx, or 40xx card or AMD equivalent their complaints about performance don't matter. We are moving forward again in visuals. 20 and 30 series card are already "old". Want to play modern games use a modern pc.

That said the game feels different depending on the character you play with.

i have had a few crashes tough.

The night patrol loop is annoying. Combat doesnt feel as good as the Arkham games but it isnt bad either.

Its more or less a looter. You loot blueprints and materials to craft better gear. Decent cosmetic system. Full expect 100$ worth of costume dlc.

Story is hit or miss. Voice acting and music is decent. GFX are great.

8/10 SO far.
