First off I haven't had any issues with performance, but have run into the occassional black screen when entering online functions.

Now let me tell you about this game. It's fun, really fun. If a BlazBlue in the past, or any anime fighters scared you or was too hard to play, get this game. I for one come from a background of fighters such as Marvel Vs Capcom, Tekken, and Street fighter, so this is sort of a new playing field for me. I did try blazblue in the past, and found it just too hard to get into. This game simplifies things so much to the point where I'm sure anyone can get into the action. The characters are aplenty, and more coming through DLC.

The fighting
Some characters have some mechanics changed, such as Rachel doesn't have a dedicated wind button anymore compared to the past, making some combos easier etc. And of course it's a team/tag game so coming up with team synergies/combos is always a tasty thing for those hungry lab monsters. Coming up with mixups, setups, team combos etc. It's all there. Welcome defensive mechanics include giving EVERYONE a DP (An invincible move, usually used on wake up or through a gap in an opponents block string to alleviate pressure) Push blocking (Called Reject) and Cross Burst (Able to tag in your partner while you're being combod to break free) It seems so far, that all characters are viable and decently balanced, although there are a few characters that have a great amount of value in their kit (Ruby, Es to name a couple) Matches can last very short in the lower levels due to players just mashing, but when you start to learn the game, matches will last a decent amount of time and can get very intense at some parts. Overall don't get too intimidated in the beginning, the game does a decent job at teaching you mechanics and even has a "Tactics mode" for each of the characters to highlight some key moves and combos. Definitely check those out if you're new.

Online Mode
While I'm used to straight matchmaking for casual/ranked matches, this one uses a lobby system instead (Although I think consoles have matchmaking) Who knows we might get it later. I like the small social aspect of the battle rooms, being able to see who's fighting who, dancing around spamming emotes/set message lines. You'll also see players' names and connection quality next to them along with a colored square (Similar to DBZfighterz where it goes something like blue>green>yellow>orange>red in relation to skill/win percentage) Now let me tell you something right now, the netcode is pretty amazing for what it is. I've fought some 0 bar players and it was absolutely playable. Of course until you run into that WIFI warrior. Anywho, the online is great, and any good fighting game needs to have a robust online mode, and here we have it. It could use a couple more things like maybe a tournament mode.

All in all, the game is great, I give it a definite recommendation if you want to get into anime fighters (I personally couldn't get into DBZ FighterZ, this game is just way more fun imo) I really hope this game takes off and builds a nice, fun community of players to play with. I mean cmon, you got waifus out the a** and you got 4 universes here. Go get it.

Great game! If you like games where you try to find out the most elaborate, and sometimes fancy, way to complete the stage, this is your game! I found the controls to be great with a controller, and just the sheer effort you put into trying to get that 3rd star is very rewarding.

Although I do have to say, it was pretty short if you just blitz through the game without worrying about score. Here's my short pros/cons:

Pros:
-Fast paced gameplay
-Puzzle solving involving "thinking out of the box"
-Controls are great and pretty damn responsive
-Dialogue, though short, is very humorous.
-Swords and shurikens, mmm.
-Replayability to get the fastest times
-Leaderboards
-Somewhat charming art

Cons:
-Somewhat short if you just blitz through the game.
-Interface, although simple, feels a little too simple, but not a big problem. It does the job.
-Boss fights are pretty much the same, you usually beat them in one go anyways. Would have been nice to add a little more variation to the fights.
-Where's the WEAPONS? Room for DLC? :D

Overall, I recommend this game. It's fast paced, and the controls feel great and smooth.

Just a short and sweet review.

Pros:
-Music algorithm to assess your music is great, not PERFECT, but definitely better than most out there.
-Graphics are pretty and smooth.
-Gameplay is somewhat challenging, if you're using a controller and are used to the 'colors' on your XABY buttons on an Xbox controller, then you'll be somewhat comfortable since the inputs in game are colored the same way.
-You can drag music files to the game window to play that song, so using a music player like FOOBAR would be beneficial.

Cons:
*BIG CON* - The strain it puts on your eyes is pretty hefty. Even though I play games like Stepmania where things are frantic enough, Melody's escape just has this visual effect that really wears on the eyes on incoming inputs...
-No leaderboards
-No search/organize function in music selection
-Menu's are abit buggy when you change your resolution
-Small gripe, any chance for Japanese character support? :D

Overall, I do recommend this game, highly. It just needs a couple features to be a great game. Then again, it's still in Early Access and I can't wait to see what the devs can come up with! Definitely worth the money!

Definitely a great game for the price. The gameplay is very unique, and brings something fresh to the whole 'stealth' genre. I admit, I had my fair amount of laughs with the game. The dialogue can get pretty funny, and some of the shenanigans that happen in the game are hilarious.

The music matches very well, and the game overall feels very polished and well thought out (Except for one of the stages where I tried something elaborate, but ended up getting myself stuck in a room with no way out so I had to restart)

I admit, the game is short, you can probably beat it in about an hour and a half, shorter if you rush through everything. But for what you pay, you get a nice package all around.

Definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes stealth gameplay and puzzle solving. Also a great game to alt tab to if you're off doing something else.

Great racing game. It also looks gorgeous on a good rig. The graphics combined with the pure adrenaline of driving a fast car makes for a pretty damn fun game. There's tons of stuff to do aside from just racing like stunts, scoring etc. Even though theres a big amount of races in the game, they don't feel that repetitive, each takes a different route and you can find new shortcuts and ways around that just makes it all the more exciting.

Overall 4/5, I just love how smooth and good looking the game is.
