I'm sorry, but I think this is just a bad game in general. I love automation games, but this one's simply bad designed. It offers no real challenge and the whole game feels monotonous and boring.

I loved the previous game. And this one felt better than it in EVERY SINGLE ASPECT.

Combat's simply perfect. I enjoyed it more than Sekiro's, and that's a lot to say. It's just so damn fun and with a lot more of content than its sequel. What more could I ask for?

I'm reading a lot of people complaining about the performance and bugs. For me it runs just fine and I haven't had any bugs besides two or three visual ones that were easily fixed by opening and closing the pause menu.

No complaints at all. In my opinion, a must-try.

I hate giving this game a negative review, I know it was made with a lot of love (as the credits make sure to make it clear for you). But it was a huge disappointment.

Presentation and polish are spectacular at first glance. It has mind-blowing attention to detail and even lets you play with a controller, something really uncommon in this kind of game. Also, dubbing is really good, and it has text translations. However, that's all the good things the game has to offer in my opinion.

When entering the first room, I got scared by a TV suddenly turning on. That's the ONLY time I've been scared in the WHOLE game. Then we get to the first puzzle: the boring and tedious task of grabbing gears and placing them in shafts. Are you glad you completed the first one and you didn't get too bored? Well, ALL the puzzles of the game, besides the one that leads you to the first monster that can kill you, are THE SAME, about finding and placing gears.

You eventually get to the first monster. I'm pretty sure it can't kill you, so I won't count it as an enemy. It's a nice encounter. A little later, after solving the only puzzle that doesn't consist on placing gears, you encounter the first real enemy. It's quite unfair and unforgiving, but still decent. After scaping, you enter a hallway that will allow you to pass through a door and... The game ends out of nowhere?

After confronting the first enemy, you get hyped about what the game has to offer from that point on since it has showed you what it can do, but then you enter a door, and without any explanation the game ends. The most unnatural ending I've ever seen in a video game.

I'm sorry, but for me it feels like just another generic mascot horror game, and kind of an excuse to sell plushies.

This game is so extremely funny, I don't get why it's free. I get it may be too short to be a paid game, yeah, but it is too polished and addictive to be a free experience.

It's a pity that it didn't last longer. But in its short duration, it's perfect. I've just finished it and got ald the achievements in a single session. 11/10.

Amazing game! I've never enjoyed a puzzle game so much. It comes with a bunch of incredibly interesting challenges:

First of all, right after starting the game from your Steam library, the game opens Ubisoft's launcher because even though we clearly bought the game from Steam, who would want to have the majestic and unsurpassed games of Ubisoft mixed with the awful games of other companies? And you don't even have to manually install the launcher, because Ubisoft installs it for you without asking when installing the game! Now this is true comfort and attention to detail.

Then, the real fun begins. You have to create an Ubisoft account. If you can't remember if you've already had created one, try logging in with your usual password, if you have one. If that didn't work, press "Can't log in" and reset your password. I repeated this step three times until realizing I didn't have an Ubisoft account and the app didn't intend to tell me, just kept telling me to check my inbox. Wise mind game!

And now, the first challenge of the game appears: you've gotta create a password with the most absurd and convoluted requirements you've ever seen before. In my case, it took me five attempts to solve this puzzle. With a bit of luck, you'll be able to finish creating your account.

Next, the application will ask you to introduce your CD key or activation code. You'll have to use your investigative skills to figure out what the hell the CD key is, probably ending up following Ubisoft's own instructions for locating your activation key on Steam, just to find out they ask you to navigate through menus that don't even exist.

By this point, your computer technician skills will have you rebooting your computer. And after starting the app again, surprise! It doesn't ask you to introduce any code. Brilliant!

After that, you'll witness an epic fourth-wall breaking scene: the game's opening cinematic will play and it'll begin to randombly switch between your first and second monitor. Thereafter, your next objective will be to go to settings to prevent your PC from burning up since FPS limit is disable by default (wise decision, bearing in mind that the default options "adjusted to your computer's capabilities" won't give you more than 50 stable FPS), just to find out that when changing any setting from the first submenu of just the video section, the other settings will randomly change as well. Your final challenge will be to somehow get your desired settings and finally get a decent and stable performance test.

Oh, and after that there's some kind of adventure minigame about a cult or something like that. Pretty boring, not gonna lie. It's the game's only flaw. However, when you pause it, there are ads of the other titles in the franchise, so it's not that bad.

I'd give this game a thumbs up, but my monitor is flipped down, so unfortunately I have to give this masterpiece a thumbs down.

Not gonna lie, I felt a little dissapointed with this game.

Don't take me wrong. It's definitely a masterpiece. The thing is, I'm not its target public. If you haven't played any Ratchet & Clank games or have played only the PS4 remake, you are its target public and you're gonna love it. However, if you're a fan of the franchise, you're gonna feel like Insomniac has forgotten about you. Yeah, there are some references and expanded lore, but it doesn't add to the plot what it really should add and has a bunch of inconsistencies with the previous titles.

The serious tone typical of the series is completely gone, and with it the difficulty. Just like in the reboot, the story is just a happy-go-looky one without any depth in which all the characters become totally flat. Since the beginning, all characters have no doubt heroes are gonna win and villains are gonna lose no matter what, so they're not really concerned about anything. With this childish tone comes an extremely easy difficulty. I'd say beating this game in maximum difficulty is as hard as beating one of the Future saga in minimum difficulty. Arena battles, which are extremely rare, are the only minimal challenges. And they are very few.

Also, there are noticeably more bugs than in other Ratchet & Clank games, including the reboot.

All that said, absolutely everything else about the game is flawless. Graphics are the most beautiful visuals I've ever seen in a game. Controls are the best in the entire series, as well as character and weapon designs. Dubbing is excellent in all languages. Soundtrack is amazing. I simply can't give this game a negative review; it's one of the best games I've ever played. I hope Insomniac hasn't completely forgotten about the fans of this saga and gives us a the ending this series deserves!

An EA game with no microtransactions and actually made with love and passion? Unbelievable.

The game's not perfect. It has its flaws. But the love the devs have put into this game is really noticeable. Ambientation (graphics, sound effects, soundtrack, game feel...) is excellent.

The story and its pace are a little meh in my opinion, but there are a few truly epic moments. Character design is either exceptional or outstandingly bad (I know their models are based on real actors, they just look worse in game). Planets are mostly pretty well designed, althoough backtracking (which is basically mandatory) feels so tedious and boring.

Combat is amazing. I played the game at maximum difficulty with no experience in any soul-like and WOW. It's without a doubt the most satisfying combat I've ever experienced in a videogame. It's so responsive and juicy. I really loved facing huge waves of Imperial troops with the upgrades of the lightsaber, and boss fights, specially the last one, are the best part of the game. Well, killing creatures feels a bit chunky, but still.

Difficulty curve is ok. Most of the game becomes harder as you become better player, but the first oggdo, a common enemy that appeared at beginning of the game, was harder to beat than some bosses. Final boss in this difficulty is also quite hard, but it feels so good fighting it that I'd say that's a good thing.

Overall, it's a nice, lovingly made game that's worth it. Doesn't have many bugs and feels just fun to play. Would recommend it.

The game lacks a lot of polish and feedback. I need something more that makes me want to keep playing besides the steam cards themselves. Your progress should be reflected in the game in some way.

This game is just what you would expect from an Arkham game, even though not made by Rocksteady.

I don't have much to say. Pretty good controls, graphics and soundtrack. The cinematics in this game are the ones I liked the most in the entire Arkham series, although it is the game that surprised me the least of the four.

It's totally worth playing it though.

In the version I played, level 21 is literally unbeatable.

It puts you in a circular circuit. I successfully made a program to go around the circuit and return to the starting point. It worked just fine. I had the mathematically exact amount of energy left needed to repair the broken cells. So I just added it to my program. And it worked just fine, the robot completed the circuit but then for any reason exploded just at the end, after returning to the starting point.

I spent more than half an hour studying what could be happening, retrying and retrying the level, and analyzing the structure of the circuit on paper. My program was mathematically the perfect algorithm for the level, and except for its variants, there was no other possible solution. The robot kept on pefectly completing the circuit and exploding out of nowhere after finishing it.

Other than that, the music is pretty catchy. I don't really like the menus, and I miss basic features like being able to drag commands to your robot so you don't have to redo the program if you want to add a command at the beginning of it or an option to fast forward or abort the execution of your program. If you make an infinite loop, it's over and all you can do is Alt + F4.

There is a lot of completely unnecessary text that presents a boring and absolutely irrelevant story before every section. I don't understand what the point of this is, they could just leave the tutorial for each section and there would be no difference.

Much to my regret since I'm a programmer and I love this type of games, I can't recommend it even though being free. It's not even possible to complete it. You should rather spend your time on another similar title like Lightbot for mobile.

Edit: I just realized level 21 is actually beatable. I copied the solution from the game captures (which was mathematically the same as mine, just in other order) and it worked. This game's logic makes no sense.
