- Great couch co-op space game.
- Very playable as a solo experience. You can pilot and control one of the turrets when playing solo.
- The button layout feels a bit complicated compared to other couch co-op games.
- Colorful and pleasant theming.

Unique motorcycle combat that looks and feels badass. However, it is effectively patting-your-head-and-rubbing-your-belly-at-the-same-time. You have to maintain your cycle's rotation to block bullets, reload, and not land on your head. At the same time, you gotta bullet time target and shoot enemies before they snipe you. it's pretty complicated and is as unforgiving as a Hotline Miami game. Neat if you can handle it.

This game is pretty intense emotionally. It paints the best video game depiction of post apocalyptic despair I've ever seen. Warning! kids get tortured and killed.

Finally, the REAL dark souls aspect of this game is the navigating. This game has the worst map/objective navigation I've seen in a game worth playing. The map never reveals itself. You can't drop pins in the map. Objectives are not marked on the map. You have to blindly find a person in the unmapped areas to even reveal the terrain. Characters will tell you the location of a quest once (in vague terms) and then never talk about it again. There are no directional callouts by characters. There are a few road signs, but they call out far away locations you're not even trying to travel too. Many objectives require you to loop around an area and enter it from an unexplored direction. Area exits are confusing with the blank map and nature of the motorcycle driving. Yuck! If the developers do any design patching, they need to fix this FIRST.

My 10 year old daughter really likes this game. The school theme and strategy appeals to her.

The challenge level is right on point for me. It is challenging but not expecting frame perfect chaining of abilities. They also have a ton of assist options but I only needed them for a late game boss battle. Definitely a top five metroidvania for me. I am looking forward for more bangers from this developer.
- The game understands how to present secrets and they are very well integrated into the metroidvania aspect of the game. I really like that you can buy a secrets indicator from the upgrades shop. You also can also unlock a compass direction finder for chests and other items.
- The pacing of movement abilities is great. I had a great time filling out the rest of the map/items after unlocking enough abilities. It felt like exploring more map rather than backtracking.

Update 6-4-24:
Finished the game and the free DLC content. Had an amazing time!
- The DLC is not integrated into normal objective tracking. It is also hard and confusing to find/start the DLC. I recommend just using a walkthrough as the content is still worth playing thru.
- The normal map doesn't cover the second DLC "Black & White". The space is a bit non-euclidean. I recommend just using a walkthough.

I only tried this by chance after getting it in a Humble Bundle. I am surprised I hadn't really heard of this Team 17 published gem before!
Pros:
- Controlling multiple characters at the same time feels new in a metroidvania.
- Animated transition cutscenes are fancy.

Amazing retro platformer. The characters play uniquely. The controls are tight. The game can be hard at times but you always tell why you failed and it doesn't feel unfair.

This game is literally Stellaris being professionally total conversion modded into a Star Trek game. The alien races are from the show. Characters from the show appear as recruit-able leaders, admirals, scientists, etc. If you're into that, this game is pretty great!

Pros:
- Integrating civilizations directly into your Federation with diplomacy is slick.
- The Mission Tree provides medium and long term goals for your space civilization.
- You can build the Enterprise as part of the Federation's Mission Tree. After getting the Enterprise, you use it as a hybrid science/military ship, just like in the show.

Cons:
- The tutorial only covers the basics. I wish the game used the Mission Tree more broadly to teach you how to play the parts of the game not covered by the tutorial.
- The sectors mechanic from Stellaris is missing. As such, handling all your planets, science ships, etc gets to be a hassle later in the game. Too much micro, dude.
- The Enterprise is too expensive in terms of ingame resources. As such, I didn't get it until later in the game. This is too bad because it is a fun gameplay mechanic!
- A lot of the Mission Tree revolves around liberating Bajor but making that happen feels random. As the Federation, you aren't allowed to simply declare war to liberate Bajor. The alternative is to make the Cardassians like you but they are pretty opposed to that.

Basically innkeeper Stardew Valley.

This is a super impressive remake and it is exactly what I wanted. It invokes the original with style and story but makes it into a fully 3d game worth playing. I never played the original System Shock. I got in with System Shock 2 but could never play System Shock 1 because it felt too dated. Approved! Thanks Nightdive Studios! Keep making these kinds of remakes and I'll keep buying them!

This great metroidvania pretty much perfectly imitates the art style and feel of Symphony of the Night.

Pros:
- Fun physics puzzles with your bow.
- Wind/Fire combo/defense system feels natural and allows needed health regeneration when travelling between save points.
- Elemental weaknesses system feels impactful and makes boss fights easier with preparation.

Cons:
- You have to read thru all the weapon descriptions to understand their elemental attributes. I wish the weapons had elemental icons right in the weapons list.
- The map is a little bland and straightforward.
