It's very good

Surprisingly good port of arguably the best FF game every made. Makes for a very fine first entry for newcomers who wanna know what's all them final fantasies about.

I only played this game for a few hours and I really enjoyed it. Very fresh take on rogue-lite genre and one of the best co-op experiences out there, especially in this price range. There are a lot of bugs, but it's Early Access after all..

And if any game deserves being in Early Access, it's this one. I don't think I've ever seen a developer as commited as Matt. It very much is a gem of a game, I can only think of a couple others that were made with this level of dedication and heart. I hope Matt won't get bored or exhausted with maintaining this game, at least until it gets the recognition it deserves.

Very, very good game, but avoid spoilers, or in fact any info about it before playing. Just read ABOUT THIS GAME on steam page to know everything. All you need to know is this:
- It's a visual novel, but not gay/erotic
- Takes about 4-5h to beat, depending on your reading speed
- You should save often
- Game is not particularily scary. There are no jumpscares.

One of the best party games out there. Very simple, gameplay-wise, but polished to perfection:
- Supports every possible controller/keyboard
- Allows 2 people to play on the same keyboard
- Allows manual setting of keyboard player slot (haven't seen it anywhere else, and it can be a real life saver)
- There is a button for quacking
- Control the pitch of quacking
- Tons of weapons
- Workshop support for weapons, levels, hats etc.
- Mutators
- Easy to learn, hard to master
- Hilarious

If there is one bad thing I could write about it would be that some less important functions have to be unlocked in single player mode, which I normally wouldn't touch in a party game. Otherwise, it's perfect!

Good, although weakest of Matthew Browns' games so far. Seems kinda on the easy side as well (comparable with the first Hexcells).

It's a really, really good game. Genuinly funny, surprising, with very clever mechanics. 6-7h long, but has a nice replay value.

+ Good game to benchmark your new mouse/joypad on
+ Easy to get 100% of achievemnts
+ Cheap
+ Looks and sounds good for what it is
- Gets boring after about 10 minutes (all the time you need to get all achievements)

Over-hyped platformer with few clever ideas, and a "plot" that I heard should be mind-blowing, but really wasn't.

Granted, I got the REAL plot-twist from YouTube (although I've seen from miles away when they started talking about Manhattan), because to have the real ending you are supposed to collect some kind of stars and the first one requires you to wait in one spot for 2 hours to wait for a cloud-platform to jump on.

Let me repeat: one of the puzzles involves STANDING IN ONE SPOT for 2 HOURS.

This game might have been something when it came out, but now the industry (and Steam in particular) are over-saturated with "ambitious" indie platformers and you are far better off playing a more recent game. Seriously, play Limbo or Swapper instead.
