Love what they did with this game. It's an extremely short kinda prologue/campaign, which they are direct about when you launch the game, but that does not detract from the experience at all. This game feels great.

Atmospheric, little horror game. Nothing to complain about considering it's a free experience. Simple, little walking-sim, really, but has some good moments.

I really do love the gameplay of the Tide series, and I think this game handles all of those pieces very well. I do wish that there was more of a structured campaign system, similar to Vermintide, but I understand how the 40K universe lends itself more to feeling like a small cog in a big machine. It feels great to just jump in and slay the hordes though.

A game so good that I can review it in Early Access, and I know that it will be deserving of that positive review, no matter how long it takes to finish. Sneaky, shooty, stabby perfection. An old age im-sim for a new age crowd that will be held as an im-sim for the ages, just like the games that inspired it.

A shooter from David Szymanski is a wonderful thing.

This is one of the best Boomer Shooters of this new wave in the market. Such great feel to the movement and gunplay, and the setting is steeped in atmosphere. It has classic level design, reminiscent of the '90s, and does retro the right way.

I'm really liking this, but I know that it won't be for everyone. I played for about 2 hours to get a feel for it, and it's essentially the same as the add-on. The target buyer for this is definitely someone who has never played it before, but wants to check out Tiny Tina's lore before playing Wonderlands. If you've played the add-on, and it's not something that you care to play again, this isn't adding anything so substantial that it'd pull you back in. At this point, I'm like a Borderlands superfan, and $10 for a remixed version of Dragon Keep that offers a unique experience in game progression and level scaling, is a fine price for me. If a slightly different experience of starting at Level 1 is not a big draw for you, you could probably pass this up.

This game is proof that all a shooter actually needs to be great is a focus on the gunplay and movement feel. That said, I do like the aesthetic here, and it doesn't hurt that the protagonist is a loud-mouthed, sassy, hot, anime chick. It really does feel great though, and bunny-hopping around this little arena, blasting away bullet-hell-style, is a ton of fun. It's like Quake, Nightmare Reaper, and Devil Daggers all blended up into a lewd-but-not-quite-hentai anime. This is a great wave-based, score-attack game.

This is a Boomer Shooter done right.

I am an FPS fan first, and a horror fan second. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see multiple horror-shooters in this collection. Some experiences were less polished than others, but this collection is full of solid efforts from many developers, and the hub world was a very nice touch. I really liked that environment and presentation; great atmosphere.
