One of the best games I ve played. Great fun playing alone / with friends / with strangers in public lobbies. Not many games can pull that off. There are 4 classes of dwarves, each with own weaopnry and toolkit. It takes like 30+ hours to fully level up one. Plentiful of mission types and biomes and monsters. Easily keeps you busy for that 30h. After you level up at least one class, you unlock harder missions. I took a break after leveling up engineer. And then I did another 40h trying out more other classes. And I m ready for more. So you can expect at least 120-150h of levelling up dwarves and unlocking their ♥♥♥♥.
No microtransaction ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, there is No game currency you can buy with real money. You can get 95% of cosmetics by levelling. Rest of the cosmetics are in a few DLCs.

TLDR
"Its a free game, but it only has little content. Its a small party game to chill out. Its all about fight gameplay mechanic / style. When you are not having fun with friends in first 10 minutes of the game, there isnt much content to make it better any... "

Last patch (20th Feb 2024 at time of writting) fixed 2 issues that players hated.
First they finally reworked UI and menus. Some things are still a bit weird, but most of the things in menus are now clickable in a way that you would expect. (example of weird is how you set up bots)
Second, no extra software for multiplayer is needed. Before this patch they used Epic networking tools to manage connections. Its only Steam now.
AI also seems to be better, but I havent tested it that much. It still felt quite easy, but before it was trash, so there is improvement.
I kinda waited with review for this patch because I didnt want to give a thumb down. Now I can give thumbs up, but its a close call. Its a free game now so that helps making this review positive. So if you dont will not like it, you just unistall and nothing is lost.
Also I will need to play more maps from map pack to say whether they are worth it. But hero factory sucks IMO, totally not worth.

At this moment I think its worth trying out with some friends. Since its free you can all just hop it. Although, this game still needs more polishing to regain good reputation like its predeccesor.

Its like ants but you have Fallouts guys instead. Just chill clicker. You slowly build up your base, train your dwellers and send them out for missions and loot. Just dont buy extra stuff packs, this game runs on your PC, just look up how to edit save file if you want extra stuff to boost you. But why would you? There is like 0 reasons to rush it.

If you like building, then you can build the building here indefinitely.
You start with nothing and you can build up to planetary sizes. Feels great, looks great. Flying and travel to planets also feels great.

Its a SCP:CB transformed into exclusive multiplayer in Unity engine. Voice communication is big part of fun in this game. Some say its just a voice chat with some game attached to it, but its more than that. Voice chat shenanigangs woudlnt happen without a good gameplay that this game offers.
You are randomly assigned to one of three roles at the start of each round. During the round, 2 more roles enter the round (made up of players that already died). Depending on your role, you are either trying to escape the facility, or to help somebody escape, or to prevent players from escaping.
Developers did a huge amount of work over the two years I m with this game. While optimisation is still weak and your machine will sweat, its indeed much better than before. Lets say its quite stable, yet demanding. Still managable with average PC. It is slowly but steadily growing into a good non-competitive first person kinda-shooter multiplayer with horror aspects. Its free and I highly recommend trying it. Give it a few hours to learn whats going on and you may fall in love with it. One downside is that its a bit weird playing with friends. Since team assignment is random, you may end up in different roles so it cant be considered a co-op. Maybe this will be resolved somehow in the future... Also dont expect a story, there is none in game itself. But everything is based on SCP lore, so there you go for story. Most of the controls are rebindable but not all of SCPs cotrol which is a thing I expect to be fixed in future.

With a few aircraft mods this is great simulator, I would even dare to say best of them all for a common folks like me. Easy to use, everything works well and you can learn a lot about flying. Graphics are way outdated compared to FS2020, yes. But cockpits looks alright and I had many hours of fun flying, staring mostly on instruments so low res environment wasnt a big deal. Big advantage is that this game can be run on very low PC specs. As long as FS2020 will keep their stupid update system, I have no reason to switch from FSX. No way for that vrazy 70€ price tag. Yet FSX is still worth even the full price of 25€ in my opinion. Its just a good, working, accessible, moddable game.

For me, it was exactly what I was expected it to be - remake true to its original in design and control feel that sends me on nostalgia trip. Graphics are nice, I cant imagine different style or design, they nailed it. Music is good, but unfortunately you cant switch between reamek version and original like you can in Spyro remake. Comparing it to Spyro remake, it feels like there are fewer settings but I cant pinpoint exact things right now. On the other hand, there are indeed some quality of life changes. Crash 1 save system is remade to make sense and to what are people used to now. Also they added time trials into Crash 1. I did all the time trials, in all three games, for platinum relics and really enjoyed it. Everything run fine, I dont remember any major issues.
Overall its a good game, no matter if you are a fan or first timer. Its a fun and relaxing games (unless you start time trials haha). Worth about 30€ so wait for sale.

Why is this game so amazing?
It runs on anything you got. You can load it up anytime you just wanna relax and watch your character grow to absurd power. But it also enables you to strategize with pickups combinations so your character can grow into even more absurd power. There is enough weapons, character and level unlocks to keep you busy long hours. At your own pace. You will eventually unlock things naturally as you go through levels and try different weapons and characters. You can also tryhard to unlock as much as possible in one level. Up to you.
Havent tried co-op yet. But still, all this for 10x less that triple AAA. I m 30 hours in with about 60% completition. Crazy value, enjoy this. This will let you understand that graphics doesnt make a game.

Very good game, especially co-op with friends!
There is so much to do in this game:
You ride submarine with your crew, you take care of your submarine, fix it, defend it, upgrade it.
You fight of enemy creatures of the deep alien ocean, you kill big ones for bounty, you explore sea caverns, alien ruins, submarine wrecks.
You fight bandits in submarine vs submarine combat or you clean outposts of bandits.
You trade and take missions at outposts of various size and type.
You can do solo missions or do campaign which takes about 20hours. World and missions are random generated so campaing is very replaylable - with different submarine and character class and talents.
There is a ton of items to craft.
You can build your own submarine!

It is possible to play solo with bots but playing with friends is where this game excells. Tons of fun going down to the abyss when the hell break lose with your friends.
Performance friendly, graphics are nice, atmosphere is great. Cant remember the last time I encountered a bug.

Downside is that story is kinda.... I donw even know what the story is. Campaing goal is just to get across the ocean and kill the final boss. Cant really say there is a proper story. Its more or less just about two factions struggling for power in Europa oceans. But it didnt even need a story, the fun is in doing missions and just trying to survive with friends. Second downside is that some weapon sounds are kinda meh. Music is okay.
Third downside and maybe biggest of them all is bot AI that is weak. This makes a solo playthrought a struggle since you need at least 3-4 bot crew to do solo playthrough. Bots are just silly, they handle some orders in clunky way, they die randomly sometimes, which is annoying early game. Also in solo you must do all the crafting by yourself and that sometimes results spending even 30-40 mins at the outpust running up and down your submarine replenishing ammo stocks and preparing for the missions. If you just want to relax mindlessly crafting okay but when you have 1-2 hours of time and want some action it just sucks

Lastly, there is a ton of mods that increase the replayability even so much. Starting with all the custom submarines, all the way to the whole world dynamics overhauls.

Judging by the time I spent playing this and overall fun factor, its one of the best games I played.

It starts off like an amazing war plane strategy indie game, loving the concept and mission design, but then it turns into a rough grind when you lose your plane. You can lose your plane quite easily later in the campaing and it looks like a part of a game. And it is part of the game or rather it was in the past - it seems there was a DLC that included changes to the whole game (no matter if you have it or not) and that made losing the plane and crew in certain scenarious much more likely. That caused great imbalance in the game, even so big I cant recommend this game despite qualities of this game. Its so much fun, you got upgraded your plane and crew, everything is great. Then difficulty ramps up, you will lose a plane eventually. And it would have been absolutely okay if it hadnt been so punishing. You need to go grind easy missions or you will lose a plane again very soon, entering a death spiral (after every crash you get considerably worse plane). So you are forced to grind or save-scum to progress and all the fun is gone. I was halfway through in campaign but I got discouraged, save-scumming doesnt feel right to me anymore, and dont want to grind everytime I lose a plane which can happen even if you play good.
