I bought this game back when there was only Monday to play. I've kept track of it as new content has been released and now that the game is finished...

...oh wait, it isn't finished. Sure there's five days worth of errands, but it's still buggy, load times are way too long, and many areas of the map are filled with empty buildings and rooms. My save games don't work so I have to start from the beginning which I wouldn't have a big issue with doing if it weren't for one big problem.

It's boring.

Very boring.

Many of the errands aren't interesting- clearing out the sewer, three (including one side mission) that involved hosing things down (two fires, and one where you hose down piles of ♥♥♥♥), and just general stuff that honestly I can't remember because there is little of note. There is also little escalation as the days went on. In Postal 2 you would regularly piss off various groups, be it feminists or rednecks, and they would attack you from then on. Plus the police presence would step up as the game went on, reacting to the stuff you've been doing. Here there's zero escalation up until the last part of Friday, where everyone goes nuts because of the errand at the dam earlier in the day. Kinda lame.

Don't get me wrong there are interesting things in there. The mission at the mall I enjoyed, as well as the one where you have to go install bidets. The voting mission was quite enjoyable too. But they're also joined with missions that had a drawback of some kind. The VR mission, for instance, was simply annoying. It looked like a lot of effort went into it too. Oh well.

Plus of course you're going to be spending lots of time going between where the errands are to be carried out, through a mostly uninteresting map that- as already mentioned- isn't finished being filled. Clearly putting collectable dolls throughout the map was far more important. I did the 'find the paintings' errand and boy did that drag a lot, searching through uninteresting houses to find the paintings. I suggest finding a walkthrough that circles which houses have them in it to save time.

It also isn't that funny. There is stuff that I found amusing- poking fun at cries of cultural appropriation was pretty good, but what's with all the poop and bidet jokes? Isn't there supposed to be at least some sort of attempt at satire? Postal 2 came in the wake of 9/11 and poked fun at a lot of the stuff that was happening around that time in regards to people's attitudes towards Islam. Couple that with poking fun at animal rights activists, and game violence protesters, and it- while being very low hanging fruit- actually had some sort of substance. Here it's just... gross for the sake of being gross. Which is neither funny nor interesting.

*sigh*, I really wanted this to be good but honestly I just didn't find myself having fun while playing it. Maybe in a year when they actually fill out the world it *might* be interesting. It's doubtful though, as not even a large chunk of the main missions are that great. Because of that I just can't recommend people buy it

Short but fun, honestly I prefer short and enjoyable over an overly padded game that becomes a grind/chore. Gunplay was fun, skill tree was well executed, an enjoyable time was had overall.The final boss was a bit ehh, but on the whole I really liked it. It was certainly a great effort, especially considering a bulk of the work (in terms of game and level design) was done by one person.

Overall a fun shooter.

I've played through to one of the endings and... it's good!

It's essentially a VR Duck Hunt... or is it?

Anyways I'm going to have to replay a few times, there's a *ton* of content I'm pretty sure I missed the first time around. I look forward to it.

Two thumbs up! With heaps of community made wallpapers to choose from and now an app so you can get the wallpapers onto your phone this is really great.

I enjoyed Mini Metro and on the back of that and Real Civil Engineer's videos about it, I grabbed Mini Motorways. I really like this game, it feels like a step up from Metro. There are more variables to play around with, and I enjoy watching the little cars driving around the streets. It's on the whole a pretty chill, relaxed game to play and I enjoy trying to beat my high scores

A game with a lot of promise. However, with a year since the last update (or even tweet from the dev) I can only conclude this is abandonware until I see any evidence to the contrary.

I hope I'm wrong, I will remove this if movement happens.

I've heard people talk about how great Call of the Breath of the Wild is for some years now and honestly I'm not sure what the fuss was about. It's certainly a departure from previous games in the franchise, Link is now dressed in camo and wields various guns (mainly rifles) instead of his trademark sword. You're tasked to kill various animals such as deer, bears, elk, and so on. I'm led to ask: what happened to Gammon? Where are the Moblins? Where are the Goombas?

Gameplay has shifted away from the action adventure style the games are known for and is now more focused on hunting. Maps are large and offer a lot of opportunities for exploration. The mechanics for stalking and taking out animals is on the surface simple yet has a complexity that makes for a challenging experience. Progression is based on unlocking skill and perk points, as well as buying equipment with money earned from killing animals. I wasn't aware Link had connections with so many people wanting trophy animals. Maybe it's Hyrule's aristocracy, who he was introduced to by the king.

A fun and relaxing game, would recommend.

The game Foreign Policy described as "surprisingly dull", Sex with Stalin is terrible. The people who made it were fully aware of this though and went all out, making it so terrible it's good.

The gameplay is simple- you, a time traveller, sit at a table and talk to Stalin. After going through various dialogue choices Stalin comes to a conclusion as to what he should do, and you get a cutscene of that particular ending. There's a large number of endings, and on the whole they are a lot of fun.

One note, try to avoid looking at too many images on the game's page. They're from various endings and the surprise of encountering them for the first time in-game makes for a better experience.

The 'forced perspective game'. It's good, a solid and enjoyable puzzle game

It's everything it promises to be. You cook things.

Controls take a bit of time to get used to, but very quickly they make sense. Grabbing things is a bit finicky but overall controls are fine.

I have paid for two game styles- standard kitchen and bakery- I prefer the latter. This is mainly because I enjoy throwing random stuff together. I might get the pizza expansion, IDK.
