Plucky Squire is a great game, with an innovative twist on 2D and 3D platforming. The 3D parts remind me (a LOT) of Supraland, and I loved that game too.
The 2D parts are cute and fun.

However:
- The game is overly heavy on text and there is too much exposure going on; tell less, do more through gameplay.
- Only PARTS of the text are narrated. It's a shame, this game would have benefited from a full talkie.
- You can't skip some of the frustratingly slow bits of text and characters walking in 'cut-scenes'. It's really getting on my nerves about halfway through.
- There is too little variation in gameplay. The novelty wears thin, and while the game is always pretty, it would have been better if there was more variety in gameplay.

Having said all that, I still strongly recommend it. It's great at this price point and if you like platformers in any way (or have kids that like them), you're going to love this.

It's been a while since I've enjoyed a single player game as much as I like Wukong. The lore is amazing, the graphics are amazing, the gameplay is good. Exploration could be better, but it's not worse than e.g., God of War in terms of linearity. The difficulty level is a bit steep, but you could consider using wemod to circumvent that and increase the damage multiplayer (that's how my gf plays it...).
Anyway, for $50, it's highly recommended!

Surprisingly, not as good as the base game.

I like Supraland. It came with the Humble June bundle and it was a surprise hit for me. I had never heard of it, yet from the moment I checked out the trailer it resonated with me. I started playing it and really enjoyed it. I put about 35 hours into the main game, completing it and then working towards getting all secrets and chests. While I was not the biggest fan of combat, it did not bother much and the occasional boss battle was enjoyable. What I really liked is the pacing of the game, and how it is subtle guiding you along the way. Most puzzles are logical and make you feel really smart when you figure them out. I enjoyed Supraland so much that I felt guilty I got it with humble, and I vowed to support the maker(s) by buying Crash at full price when it launched.

Fast forward to July 4th, when I bought Crash. Obviously, I started playing the game and it manages to feel different from the getgo (focusing on stomping, and allowing you to jump higher fairly swiftly. However, the level layout is confusing, and a lot of it feels like busywork. Puzzles are more trial and error than logical, and mechanics just don't get explained, so you'll have to figure out yourself that you'll have to do certain things.
It's weird. For as much as I liked Supraland, as little do I like Crash. And it's the same game!
If you haven't played Supraland (but then why are you reading a DLC review?) I can totally recommend it and urge you to play it. Having put 3~4 hours into Crash, I am not sure I'll pick it up again.
What a shame.

CS:GO Review
it's a great game. if there weren't any cheaters, play time would've been taken into account when match making, and the wait for a comp match wasn't 5mins plus.

As it stands, it's broken due to unbalanced matchmaking, trolls/hackers, and smurfs. I love CSGO, but can't recommend it in its current state. Danger Zone is a gimmick - it goes a little bit like this;

You spend 30 seconds looking for a game
An average of 2 minutes on warmup
5 minutes scavenging
<20 seconds in a fight
Repeat...

Not much fun at all.
The free to play is a necessity (how else are you going to beat fortnite?), but the non-prime playerbase was rife with cheaters and smurfs, and they're now all in prime. Not a good move.
