Great game, aged a lot finer than I remembered. The combat does actually have a pretty good ebb and flow to it when you use all the parts of the buffalo (blocking, running roll, combos, magic.) I know this is a weird thing to be angry about, but the content kinda just... runs out? Like there's a moment where you just go "Oh, I guess this is the last level?" and depending on your build and how you're playing you might have to backtrack through the last two levels over and over. Kinda strange that they're adding a character editor over a world editor, because it definitely feels like this could have had more TLC with some content updates over the years. Especially because the concept is gold, but a lot of the levels just boil down to walk right until you can't and the ones that break the formula are either too far back to give you exp end-game or are just too tedious to play again. For a game made for Xbox Live, y'all sure left this dead in the water. 7/10

I'm glad the sequel grew out of this, this is like my third time buying the game and every time I just feel zero dopamine shooting out. 3/10

You know what you're buying, you know why you're buying it. This is a browser game with no real end game that costs ten bucks. 2/10

I love these little pieces of proof that Valve game design and writing talent is still some of the best in the entire industry. Just so they can go back to making an over-sized gameboy and pretending it never happened. 10/10

10/10 game, whatever.

So why was this removed from store and re-added here and on google play? I had to rebuy this gem but seems kinda like shady business practices to remove from players libraries and make them rebuy? Very unlike the publisher so I'm guessing the Developer would have some more information? A response would be super welcome Devs!

Pretty much how I remember. Not as bad (at the time) as people said, but unfortunate product of marketing selling a different product than the one being developed and hype killing realistic expectations. Hasn't aged well but still cool to play a piece of history. FOC, FPS and some other visual options can be enabled and disabled via console commands if that helps your playthrough. It can be fun if you wanna see what gaming was like circa 2011 post-COD modern warfare. 5/10 (closer to 6 than 5.0)

This is the fastest a game has ever gone from non-stop fun to non-stop frustration. I used to love finding fun new ways to play with items and map destruction and now it just feels like the team with the cheesiest BS wins. Rolling the dice to see if your team will be cohesive or if you get stuck with the teammates who don't want anything to do with the objective. Over and over and over and over.... The developers seem so cool and genuine that it's hard to fault them.... But man... It just straight up feels like a different game from the beta. Also hey, crazy idea, less emphasis on depending on teammates who just want to run around solo and more emphasis on solo plays? Crazy thought, but if your playerbase is playing the game one way, then maybe lean into it? Like yeah sure, it'd suck to let guys who load into a team based game and refuse to use teamwork win. But sometimes that's just kind of the hand you're dealt? God... I don't know anymore. I used to love this game so much and watching it become another boring hero shooter that gets etch-a-sketched every other patch for some stupid wishy-washy meta just makes me sad. 3/10

Rusty Lake Hotel is like a painting in a museum. It stays on the museum walls so we can talk about the time it came from, and how important web games were, how untethered stories could be when there was no censorship or limits. It's style and tone explore discomfort and death. Intensely but not deeply. A detailed frame on a painting that gets darker and more twisted the longer you stare. But years have gone now and the painting once provocative and gut wrenching is just kinda niche. The tone and puzzles are still fun, and the diversion is well priced. I just don't know how long this painting is going to hang at the museum of interest and common knowledge before we start to wonder what milestone painting should be hanging there instead. 6/10

Alright, so now we're hitting Yakuza 6 over the head with a frying pan and when it wakes up we're just going to tell him they're their long lost brother, Yakuza 2? Okay, weird but lets go with it. The Dragon Engine works extremely well with this tale of jumping between cities and the dramatic lighting and rendering really gives the story of revenge and a much needed next-generational OOMPH. Plenty to do, plenty more side quests to mess around with. Although we're revisiting Kamurocho for the umpteenth millionth time, it feels fresh and exciting again. Kind of like seeing your ex at a bar but now she has fishnets and neck tattoos. I know how that stories going to end, but whats the hurt in giving it another go? I don't know if this was in development during Yakuza Kiwami but it does feel like it's learned from Kiwami's mistakes. 7/10

Preserves the soul of the original PS2 classic but changes enough that it's non-comparable. Sticks jumper cables to Yakuza 0 so that the older brother can have his time in the sun too. Found it conceptually soulless compared to the original and found it unorganized and tacked on compared to Yakuza 0. Everything else has been said a million times over by a million other reviewers and I'm just going to mirror the summary. It's a great, fun game with a ton of content and a time proven story that's flashy, fun and action packed. I wouldn't recommend it as the first game for someone new, but it's a great way for first-timers to catch up to the veterans after playing 0. Just don't put this game on the same pedestal as those before it. It's copying it's homework from too many textbooks to get an A+. 6/10
