"While the Renoir family and the Black Egrets were always intended to evoke imagery from an oppressive militant regime, we felt that the way that manifested (most notably via red armbands, flags, and symbolism) was too close for comfort" - The Game's Director.
There's a reason you think it's too close for comfort.

This dev doesn't know that a single die isn't called a dice.

Does not work with my Razer Huntsman V2 analog and my Razer Wolverine Ultimate. The game won't accept any input from my controller while my keyboard is plugged in, and I cannot type my name without a keyboard. I really want to play this game, but I can't even Press Any Button on my controller.

If I could get a refund for this game I would gladly take it. Who needs to program a game when you can just have instantaneous attacks that go across half the screen, which also start combos?

Where's the $5 DLC for "Bio Scans on the Ship That Don't Take 5 Minutes".
This game suffers from "Things that are only cool the first time" syndrome. Even though my first time was back when the base game originally came out I still wish I had spent that time playing Solitaire instead.

A fairly decent pixel art program, has most of the features I used when making pixel art in Photoshop. The only features that I really missed involved the layering system. It lacks Photoshop's ability to show me a single layer out of my stack and then go back to the visibility setting I had before; and this was especially frustrating when the onion skin doesn't seem to work if there's a layer below it.

On a personal note, I would have liked to be able to nudge the layer by pressing arrow keys when the move tool is active, but as that input is used for changing frame/layers I can understand why it doesn't. Shift + Arrows?

Overall it has the tools I wanted, great control over frame timings, and was a better experience than juggling the options on photoshop to take me from drawing and photo manipulation to pixel art.

One of the best games I played in 2015, this is a solid Metroidvania whose only real problem is that there isn't a sequel.
Great soundtrack, interesting weapon mechanics, a story if you're looking for it, and all of the map features a trace-your-steps simulator could ask for.

Fallout 4: A game of racial prejudice.
Join the Brotherhood who want the synths to go back to the dirt where they came from. They totally don't burn crosses in people's front lawns!
Join the Railroad, who will take any free synth and transport them out of the hate-zone. They totally solve the problem!
Join the Minutemen, who spam your face off with quests while putting out fires nobody cares about!
Join the Institute, if you can?

Join Nobody, because the Brotherhood's a bunch of human-race purity baddies who don't want them to pollute our bodily fluids with fluoridation.
Join Nobody, because Sanctuary isn't your town anymore. They call you the leader of the Minutemen, but you're more the errandboy.
Join Nobody, because the Railroad is a bunch of idealistic hippies and P.A.M. isn't opening the pod bay doors.
Join Nobody, because the Institute is a bunch of slavers.

Nobody for Mayor. Nobody for President. Nobody for Hegemony leader. Nobody for Galactic ruler.
No gods, no rulers, but all gods, all rulers.

The story of the man who would go on to be James Bond, or who would go on to be Solid Snake, or the man who would end up dead on foreign soil with his headstone marked "Foreigner".

Contains all pertinent elements of stealth, social engineering, and gunplay. Do what you need to to survive as a single entrant combatant; recruit other combatants, pay informants, engage in power brokerage, and expose inconvenient truths about the allegiance of people who oppose you, or truth, or "truth", or "Not blowing everything I possibly can up with tanks".

Just... don't bring a fist to a gun fight. It's not pretty.

It's like this game is locked in an Invisible War with my computer. Last time I attempted to run it it crashed, reported to steam that I wasn't playing anymore, then loaded the level I had tried to load. Actually played this game for about 30 hours, but due to the invisible nature of this war steam doesn't even know it has begun.

Somebody tell Majestic 12 and J.C. Denton that I didn't ask for this, but I sure paid for it.
