Monster Crasher : Wild I bought this at release.

I know this will be an awesome game in the future, but as of now crashed quite often at the start and the bad optimisation that everyone said was better is still there.

I never ever buy games on release or pre order, I did both for this one since the beta was good enough, 50-60 fps (IN COMBAT) without frame gen there, but now RIP.

I have great hope for the future but for now its better to wait, typical AAA rush to release cycle .

I don't know whats wrong but it felt very boring, maybe I grew up out of this franchise it just felt like nothing ever happened, perhaps it's because I'm more of a Gran-strategy enjoyer nowdays, but FOR ME it wasn't worth it.

Not as good as the Base Game but I still enjoyed it, Most of the bosses themselves are more fun than base game but everything else feels like a slight downgrade.

The first map with huge empty boring area was very bad but it gets better after.

Not GOTY material but was worth the time/purchase

CURSE YOU BAYLEEEEEEEE!

Sadly the game itself is very unstable, extremely hard on the CPU and often Crashes, the biggest forum Thread by A LONG margin in their page is about this and in some cases it even locks your PC completely.

Do not gamble with your PC, wait until this is fixed.

Also,

The first time doing the Campaign was awesome, late game RN is kind of "meh" and repetitive, upgrades become so scarce because of the insane RNG in drops/crafting that it felt like a chore to keep grinding past lvl 95.

First half of the game had me very invested, but the other half felt rushed, the corridor game play sequence before the end was so out of place imo.

Also, there were a couple situations that made 0 sense as well but overall was a cool albeit flawed game.

Nothing like this in the market though so recommended for the experience!

Still blocked in many parts of the world.

The game itself is getting stale and the nerfs to weapons and enemy spawns are not welcomed.

Was very fun at the start but nowdays, ehh....

One of my Favourite games ever.

Also I don't oversleep anymore since I started using the "I am Malenia. Blade of Miquella" bit as my alarm, instant Fight or Flee reaction.

I love this game, but I also hate some aspects of it.

Although in essence it is a glorified excel sheet game, the events and nice space setting are awesome, the music is glorious.

Lots of fun for a strategy enjoyer but it has two huge flaws that almost make me want to give it a thumbs down:

1) DLC price/policy is absolutely insane, 300+ euros of DLC while the vanilla gameplay is kind of bland.

2) Game lags at endgame stages because of the very old engine.

It has a very steep learning curve but once you know the basics you will have a lot of fun.

The fact that NASA and ESA were intersrested in the developing of this game should be enough to any space enthusiast to buy it, but then you have an amazing moding comunity and your creativity wich can lead to hundreds of hours of challenging yet satisfying FUN making Kerbals explode or colonising new planets (even the stock game has insane amounts of replayability). And to put the cherry on top, you end up learning real Astrophysics and planetary science without realizing it.
