The problem with most reviews for this game is they are comparing KF3 after a few months to KF2 after over 15 years of updates, fixes, tweaks and additions. There are issues with it, sure, but I remember KF1 and KF2 in their early days too, things got better over time as more maps, guns enemies and bosses were added to the game. I hope to see things like that here, including custom maps and a better system for joining games (matchmaking into round 4 or 5 isn't that fun) but I don't expect the brand new game to match the content of a live service game that came out 16 years ago right away.

Some of the puzzles don't even match the hints given in game...

The first game won awards, literature awards that no game had won before, and this is definitely a worthy sequel.

Do I honestly need to say anything? We've been waiting for this for years, they took everything from Hollow Knight and dialled it up.

Literally the first video game to win a Hugo award, something it would take 3 years for Baldur's Gate 3 to win again. The story is great, gameplay is fun, it gets difficult to complete things after the main story is finished, but that's how games should be.

Honestly a great game. You can finish the basic premise of the game, getting to room 46, without any deep puzzle solving skill, but the game is easier if you can figure it out, until it's not and you start trying to track down deeper and more intricate side puzzles, puzzles that can't be solved on a single run, and of course always relying on the luck of the draw to some level. Even 40 something runs in I occasionally build myself into a corner in the first two rows.

Take all the best things about the Horizon games and all the best things about the previous Lego games... and throw them out the window to leave behind this.

Levels are way too short, there's no real exploration, no puzzles of any kind, nothing to really collect, even when I raised the difficulty on starting a game it was pretty trivial in combat... And I am about half way done the sacred lands at this point.

Collecting the mini figures was something that took effort before, they're gone. Red bricks, gone. Getting enough studs in each level to earn rewards, gone. And also if you get a gold brick at the end of every level, and that's the only way to get them, they are just a progress marker not what they always were before.

Decent pinball game with some more mature themes (horror not nsfw) The table challenges and cosmetic unlocks are fun enough to keep you retrying and the daily challenges are nice... as long as you have the tables at least.

Playable but far too broken. There's a bug, one that is well known and reported, where when you put one of your guns down (and you do for all of them at some point in the story) when you pick them back up they don't have their upgrades, any upgrades, all the damage, ammo and other boosts are gone except the mods. It makes it really harder later on when you have base gear.

This game is short. The run time I have of 6 hours is padded by doing this game when multitasking most of the time. There's some graphical issue I was running into, which could have been intentional, it looks like the distortion I remember from old CRT tvs and VHS tapes. If it was intentional they should have offered a way to turn it off, if not it should have been fixed, it made it hard for me to play the same way motion blur (which the game had but you could turn off) does. The characters are poorly written, the two main characters have an argument part way through that felt so unbelievable.

The game feels like a glorified tech demo honestly, that it was made to show off the fluid physics in the gunk more than be an actual game.
