The minigolf sucks the soul of your body. You can't lose your soul to the devil if you've already lost it to this game.

I don't know how I'm going to explain my time playing this game at the pearly gates when I arrive there

Absolutely great game, highly recommend. Love the graphics, the music won't stop replaying in my head, and just a really great time playing it

I found this game really relaxing and chill. A nice change of pace during a tumultuous year. Plus the developers clearly enjoy working on this game given the fun they had with it as they added more and more levels. Now it looks like they are getting the community involved too which is always nice to see

I did make fun of this for being a walking simulator but was very pleasantly surprised when I got into it! I entered mostly blind other than the fact that you deliver stuff to people and have been enjoying the game very much

Can't really say enough good things about this game! If 2D and building/mining/fighting is your jam then look no further

No subtitles in the Halo: Reach campaign outside of cutscenes and there is no way to mute everything except for the voice acting. This is an automatic do not recommend from me as I am basically deaf

I loved the first game and played that multiple times as well as the enhanced edition. This game starts out great. The changes they made to almost all of the core mechanics are awesome.

But these changes have some serious side effects.

The AI is essentially too smart is what it all boils down to. For example. there is no point in having a tank in your party because every class has multiple teleports available to it so your tank just gets ignored. They have a lot of armor and health but what good is that if the AI just completely ignores them and uses teleports to go after your healer and damage dealers. You might think you can defeat this with superior tactics but there are just so many teleports you really can't put the AI in a position where it is forced to attack your tank.

On top of that the AI gets much faster cooldowns on the same spells that you have. Your ability to knock down a target will have a 3-4 turn cooldown. That exact same ability in the hands of the AI has a 1 turn cooldown so it can be used every single turn allowing the AI to put your party members in stun locks very often. Good luck if you run out of either physical or magical armor.

And to make matters even worse the game has horrific loading times and still suffers multiplayer connection issues. Expect to spend at least 5 minutes just loading your save. Then your friends have to spend at least the same amount of time loading when they connect to you. Saving takes at least half a minute most of the time even on a good machine. And party members get timed out very often which requires them to once again go through the long loading process when they reconnect. Very frustrating to deal with. Putting the game on an SSD doesn't seem to help very much which is embarassing.

There are a lot of small issues that add up to a tedious experience as well. Persuasion system is a step back from the first game (and I wasn't the biggest fan of that either) due to cost of the stat. There are many times when a quest or objective is completed but only one member in the party has knowledge of that fact even though all of the characters were present and involved every step of the way, rather immersion breaking. The magic pockets feature is extremely picky and doesn't seem to work with quest items and even some keys. The AI always has an abundance of action points enabling them to take 3+ attacks during their turns even after moving. The world itself isn't designed well enough to guide the players on a linear path even though if you try to go outside the path you should be following you will get murdered.

Constantly being improved with regular weekly updates. Devs are very responsive to player feedback. Awesome ability to write scripts in C# that will do extremely cool stuff. The creations of the community are also very exciting to see

Update for game awards, this game is still awesome with great development still happening

Very easy to use, very intuitive and super fun to see games on the big screen. Very little to no noticeable lag even across wireless. I'm very impressed with the device, buying a second one through the sale!

Outstanding game. Developers are regularly adding to it and it should be fully released soon. No multiplayer yet but I do approve of their current plan to make a brilliant single player game for full release and then add multiplayer onto it later. When they do get around to multiplayer (hopefully!) this is going to be a blockbuster
