First impressions on this is that it is probably not worth the current price tag of $20. It is certainly a very interesting game, but it is lacking polish and feels like it is still rolling in beta.

You play a brain in a jar with access to a satellite filled with munitions and robotic drones/minions you control to do your bidding. You are competing with other such brains for mining resources.

Fun concept and the gameplay is certainly interesting, but I would never pay $20 for it. It feels like a $10 game tops in the current state. I tossed a few dollars to it back in early early alpha, so I lucked out in being able to try it with minimal investment.

No internet multiplayer as far as I was able to find. It feels like a complex version of some of those old sega games you used to see. Maybe pick it up on sale.

This is probably the most chill [yet somehow incredibly frustrating] game I've ever played. Graphics are wonderful and the sound and music are very relaxing. It is a nice casual game, but can get you really pumped to complete some challenges. I really enjoyed myself with this game.

If you like rogue like game,s you will love this. Has a deep sense of humor hiding a surprisingly complex game. However, please keep in mind that this game is very HARD. You will die. Constantly. Super fun though if you like the genre.

Way better than the first one. The story elements really push you to continue instead of depending solely on a vague sense of completion. Wheatley is great, and voice acting in general is huge. The physics have also been cleaned up a bit and everything is just smoother. Loved it.

Fun Game. Deeper story than you might think given the genre. Game play is fairly typical for tower defense, aside from a few tweaks here and there. The voice acting and story really make this game memorable.

Classic Legend of Zelda gameplay meets H.P. Lovecraft content. It has clean and crisp graphics and plays well. Lots of items and enemies, though level design suffers slightly due to the randomized dungeon. Highly recommended.

Wow. I can't recommend this one enough. Top down space exploration and small fleet battles with a nice campaign and large variety of combat options. The maps are large and detailed. This is a fun one. It has a free demo, so please give it a try.

I had high hopes for this game. It is a wild ride, but it doesn't last long and the community is mostly dead nowadays. The combat is varied and interesting, the enemies are fresh, and the classes and leveling system are fun and balanced. The campaign has a creepy atmosphere. The game is just short. It is free though, so if you're got a few friends who're looking for something to do, check this game out.

A game that combines wacky hijinks with competitive level play is a strange thing to imagine. That and more is what you are in for with this game. It is also FREE.

Class based team vs team combat in a comicbook style makes for a fun variety of modes of play. Its hard to get bored with this game. If you're interested in complex class based FPS, then please give this game a try.

[protip: everyone is probably a spy, especially if you're playing against me! :D]

This game fills a niche in that it is competitive, but pits 2 groups with wildly different abilities against each other per round. This is not your typical FPS, so please don't rush into this thinking you can treat it as such. [pro tip: you will die often and get yelled at by your teammates.]

Its hard to get used to. You really need to play for a while in campaign mode before hoping to venture into versus. Even with all the prep in the world, you're going to suck at versus for a while. But then, that's where the fun really starts.

This is one of the most satisfying games I've ever played and it always has something new and interesting to bring me back. It has a sharp learning curve, but once you get past that, it is a fulfilling experience like no other game.

Advanced players only please. Here's a nice forum post listing of things that make this game unique among FPS:
