Boomer shooters have peaked twice: once with DUSK, and now with Selaco

Closest to a quake roguelike you will get, my fingers hurt

Get it if you want your procs to proc procs off procs

+looks good
+fun combat
+exploring is fun at the beginning
+unlocking classes and abilities is very fun

-runs badly
-very easy but also very stunlocky
-world is absolute garbage- series of tunnels with chokepoints with dungeons simpler than the shortest oblivion caves
-all world rewards/drops/chests are garbage which kills exploration
-some classes are better than DD1, but all classes lose a ton of abilities and versatility
-quests are ass both in writing, mechanics and scripting


Buy DD1, if you like it a lot this is the same game (bit better, bit worse) so you can buy this on sale later

This game is card crack, another entry into civilization and slay the spire's "just one more run" list.

Do you like to think "yes, I can get 1e^621 points this time", "I 'm about to use this popcorn and banana and my glass is broken", "my jokers on the left are constantly arguing with my jokers on the right", or "this will be a venus, hanged man and diet cola run"?

Do you like MULTIPLICATION?

Buy this game

This is the battlefield people wanted, plain and simple. Closest to BF4, but with it's own spin. Very strong recommend

+fast movement, fast ttk, no health regen, bleeding on some wounds (need to bandage yourself)
+great gunplay - guns are deadly and dairly accurate, but can kick - manageable with recoil control
+a ton of guns and gun customization
+cool gun mechanics - consistent magazines and ammo, combining magazines, resupplying by magazines
+varied, big maps for multiple gamemodes (254 players, 128, 64 and so on), day and night versions (nightvision for night and restricted scopes for nightgear)
+building destruction and (a little barren but all games do this) interiors with all floors
+good class roles and decent balancing
+private servers
+map, day/night and gamemode voting which is HIDDEN - great idea
+proximity chat and death voice chat makes game hilarious

-sound is kinda ass, little feeling of space, makes sometimes hard to feel if grenades are exploding next to you or 100m away
-graphics are completely serviceable, all effort was spent on guns - game needs ambient occlusion badly for clarity but it's coming once bugs are resolved by devs
-4x scopes need adjustment - they artificially change recoil and are mostly ass

Amazing old-school type cRPG, continuing the amazing wave of boomer rpgooters (with games like Divinity and Pillars of Eternity)

+pathfinder is a great system
+a lot of qol and modern features like stashes, quickslots, incremental saves etc
+great characters with their own stories
+good, long story
+good side quests
+a lot of great unique items and loot
+long ~60 hours for majority clear
+kingdom management and decisionmaking is fun until events start repeating in lategame

-EXTREME difficulty spikes, you may have a faceroll in one room, a good fight earlier and an hour earlier die to wolves on the side of the road that trip everyone in your team each round, luckily difficulty can be megadropped or megalifted
-lategame has one of the most obnoxious dungeons in the genre famous for obnoxious dungeons
-some kingdom management actions need you to stop and don't do anything for a time which is a waste (as you can't even do things you would do in the throne room itself)
-events happen on time schedule, which is kinda generous but can ♥♥♥♥ you over and thus you cant ignore it

Excellent fishing game with structure kinda similar to Subnautica - upgrade ship to sail farther and get new types of fish, do quests for people and find artifacts, but all with a Cthulhu twist and sanity effects.

+Excellent sound design
+Great climate and ambience
+Great artstyle
+Great pacing - doesn't drag or rush
+A lot of tools and mechanics to keep you interested, each area has it's own gimmick

-Could have one or two areas more

+Excellent and complicated story
+Great writing
+Great dialogue trees - what you say can reward or completely ♥♥♥♥ you over (but not softlock you)
+What you do matters soon and later
+A lot of side paths, quests and ways to achieve same target
+Clever worldbuilding, can be very original at times

-A bit short (finished around 7 hours)
-Bit glitchy (nothing major, pathfinding and UI at most)
-Does not actually take place in Warsaw - city is much more generic than that and loses originality
-Can be a but generic at times

Big recommend to people enjoying story-driven RPGs, there is no combat ingame

Perfect artstyle and music, good gameplay, short (5-6h), hit and miss story (plays with you hard but sadly doesn't deliver)

Amazing gameplay, tight as ♥♥♥♥, absolutely recommended. Very nearly achieves the same level as Vermintide 2 did. Looks great, amazing aesthetics and music, does justice to the WH40k lore as well.

Meta progression, leveling, equipment, grind, shop, all of that is complete garbage sadly, but can be re-done. Until then, wait.


OCT 2023 edit:

It's pretty good now. Needs bit more maps/tilesets and classes/specializations, but those can come in future.
