When you start playing, you will get better at the game by learning how to play and also buying upgrades which stay with you. They have achieved such a perfect balance between the learning and the upgrading that you will quickly become super addicted and you'll have a crazy amount of fun...and you will keep on playing and starting a new run after new run without getting bored because of the RNG elements. It's a genius combination of factors to produce the most harrowing level of addiction and I can't recommend it enough!

This should be OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE; it seems a number of Negative reviews criticise the combat, going as far as calling it "clunky" ... when you can see other reviews saying the combat feels snappy and satisfying, you know there must be some kind of disconnect. They can't both be true. I can only comment on my experience, playing with a PS controller; the movement and combat is ultra responsive, dodging is super satisfying, and picking up a new weapon you found in a chest in a hidden section is the best! Having the freedom to assign 2 weapons in any combination you like is awesome.

This game has everything I wanted in a Metroidvania game, with the added bonus of breathtaking visuals and a fantastic soundtrack. You see your XP gains as you defeat enemies, there's a skill tree which offers real freedom from the start, enemies re-spawn when you respawn, so you can farm mobs and get overpowered if you wish .... and the whole thing is voice acted!

One of the best games in my Steam Library; highly recommended.

This game is f****ng amazing! The degree of effort and time that's gone into carving out a new experience from a fairly exhausted genre is super impressive. I haven't experienced enough to warrant paragraphs of opinion, but I'll be revisiting this review with much detail when I have. For now, as a die-hard ARPG'er and Souls-fan, this is better than I could have hoped for....especially the sense of progress and reward for spending some time grinding out aspects to become stronger, which is my favourite part of gaming in general.

On par with Halls of Torment so far - but with more expansive loot drops / gear. Super addictive, super fun, Super Nintendo Sega Genesis.

One of the most satisfying games ever made; amazing Diablo-OG-style graphics and animation and a good balance between grind, power and difficulty. If you like seeing numbers go up, this is a must-buy.

Over 8 hours I haven't had any issues with crashing, or FPS issues. Sure, the frame rate fluctuates, but it does in everything from Elden Ring to Cyberpunk: at no point is it 'stuttery' or unresponsive. Apparently I'm lucky as it's been a flawless 8 hours so far and I'm totally floored by the attention to detail and craftsmanship. More than anything, I can't believe we have a modern Dragon's Dogma game, and it's a incredible.

Playing on a 5800X/32gb@3200/RTX3070 on Ultrawidescreen (3440 * 1440). The game supports Ultra Wide in terms of gameplay, but has borders for things like cutscenes and menus, so it's not 100% comprehensive support - but it works where it counts; rendering a gorgeous wide field.

I will update this with a meaningful content review in due course - but for anybody on the fence, with a similar spec, wondering if its POSSIBLE to have a flawless experience and good performance: the answer is yes, it certainly is.

This is a 'gem'of a Roguelite Spin-off in the Deep Rock Galactic universe...after 50 hours of gameplay at time of writing, here are my thoughts...

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is an absolute blast, delivering a near-flawless translation of the core Deep Rock Galactic experience into the endlessly replayable roguelite format. Funday Games has outdone themselves, creating a spin-off that stands confidently on its own while honoring the spirit of the original.

At its heart, Survivor exemplifies the addictive roguelite formula. Each run offers a fresh challenge, with procedurally generated levels ensuring no two experiences are alike. You're always on the move, blasting hordes of Glyphids, mining valuable minerals, and scrambling to stay ahead of the encroaching swarms. The combat is incredibly smooth and responsive, echoing the high-octane action of its predecessor. Each of the four classes (Driller, Engineer, Gunner, and Scout) provides a unique playstyle and powerful abilities. Seeing how far you can push yourself under relentless pressure will have you saying "just one more round!" long into the night.

From unique weapons and class-specific upgrades to potent artifacts and game-changing perks, Survivor is brimming with creative choices and a sense of tactical depth. There's a joy in experimenting with loadouts, discovering the insane synergies between upgrades, and adapting strategies with each new item you find. Survivor doesn't hold back with content either; there are tons of unlockables to keep you coming back for more, ensuring a rewarding progression system that motivates you to try out different playstyles.

Presentation is essentially flawless....despite the huge hordes of bugs, complete with their reflections on crystals, and some fantastic particle effects, the game keeps up pace and runs smoothly, with minimal loading times. The instant access to pause the game via the Right Mouse Button, with an overview of your current build, keeps you in the game as often and as quickly as you like.

If you're a fan of Deep Rock Galactic or simply love a well-crafted roguelite, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is a must-play. With its smooth combat, creative upgrades, and deep progression, it's a captivating spin-off that delivers everything fans could hope for in this fresh format. Now, I have 3 more achievements for a clean-sweep...something I never do with Steam games!

If you're looking for a challenging but satisfying roguelike deckbuilder, you might want to check out Across the Obelisk. This game will test your strategic skills and your ability to adapt to different scenarios, as you face a variety of enemies and events in a randomly generated world. The game has a respectable difficulty level and learning curve, with a rewarding sense of progress as your skills improve. You can also play with up to three friends in co-op mode, which adds another layer of fun and complexity to the game.

But is it worth your time and money? Here are some pros and cons of the game to help you decide.

Pros:

- The game has a lot of replay value, thanks to its procedurally generated maps, random events, and different character classes. You can choose from four heroes, each with their own unique cards and abilities, and customize your deck as you progress through the game.
- The game has a co-op mode, where you can play with up to three other players online or locally. You can share cards, items, and resources with your teammates, and coordinate your strategies to overcome the challenges. The game also has a solo mode, where you can control all four heroes by yourself.
- The game has a charming pixel art style, with colorful graphics and animations. The game also has a catchy soundtrack and sound effects that match the mood of the game. The game has a humorous tone, with witty dialogue and funny references to pop culture and other games.

Cons:

- The game is still in early access, which means it may have bugs, glitches, and balance issues. The game is also not fully optimized, which may cause performance problems on some devices. The game developers are constantly updating the game, but some features may be missing or incomplete.
- The game can be very challenging, especially for beginners. The game has a steep learning curve, and you may encounter enemies and events that can wipe out your party in a few turns. The game also has permadeath, which means you lose all your progress if you die. The game does not have a difficulty setting, so you have to adapt to the game's rules.
- The game can be very repetitive, especially if you play for a long time. The game has a lot of content, but it may feel like you're doing the same things over and over again. The game also has a lot of RNG (random number generator) elements, which may make the game feel unfair or frustrating at times.

Across the Obelisk is not for the faint of heart, but if you enjoy a good challenge and a lot of replay value, you'll love this game. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes roguelikes, deckbuilders, or both.
