There is no "Maybe" or "It Depends" option, so I'm saying "No," but I'll explain why.

The gun-play and mobility in Destiny 2 are top-notch; it is easily one of the most fun shooters I've ever played, and the co-op experience makes it even better. I'm not a competitive gamer, so I don't play Crucible unless it's for bounties, but I understand people who like PvP really get into it, and I can see why. (They even have Iron Banner content for hardcore, eSports-level players. Personally, I love Gambit, which is PvPvE.) The art style is amazing and creative, and the music is excellent at creating the mood it sets out to meet. It's a really pretty game with a lot of aesthetic variety.

I would recommend buying Destiny 2 on these merits alone; alas, I cannot. The bulk of the game's content is sealed behind a prohibitively expensive paywall. Every expansion is essentially a full-price game, and while the base game includes plenty of fun things to keep you busy — the standard Red War story, bounties (think, micro-missions), public events, patrols, vanguards, raids, one dungeon, Dares of Eternity, the first mission of each expansion — once you've done all that and are looking for the next level of gear and enjoyment, you have to spend an entire paycheck to unlock it. This includes seasonal content and anniversary editions, which you will buy repeatedly to stay above board. The base game is free; nothing else is.

If you're rich and have so much disposable income you literally roll joints with hundred-dollar bills, then it's almost certainly worth your time and investment. The rest of us need to be satisfied with the base content. . . which can give you plenty of enjoyment, but eventually you'll be yearning for more. (I also have it on good merit that the only expansion you really need is Witch Queen, as it's indisputably the best, and that the latest, Lightfall, is absolute trash and only worth getting for the bonus sub-class, so. . . you can save a lot of money buying just those two.)

TLDR: It's fun as hell, but it'll cost you a fortune.

It's Symphony of the Night with a modern paint job.

Um, is there an actual game here? All I get is tutorials. Thumbs down.

Crawl has the sickest, most awesome teaser trailer ever. Also it's a pretty boss game. If you have three friends, get it. If you have zero friends, maybe get it anyway.

Be advised, this is NOT a co-op game. Unless you're on the enemy team.

For anyone who's interested in playing GTFO but is concerned that the game does not yet have match-making . . . the developer has announced in the last update (as of June 4th, 2020) that they are in fact working on a match-making solution for the future. In the meantime, you can find a very active community on GTFO's Discord channel. There are always players looking for games, and while some folks may balk at the notion of playing such an intense cooperative experience as this with random people, I myself found the community extremely helpful and welcoming. (Maybe I got lucky, but you can generally tell right off the bat when you're in a toxic group as opposed to a friendly one.) As long as you have voice chat, you're good to go. Coordination is the key to success.

Anyone coming to GTFO from other first-person shooters, including survival games like Left 4 Dead or Vermintide, will likely have to re-learn how to play the game, because GTFO is all about stealth rather than firepower (although you do carry some serious hardware for when the time comes to shoot and ask questions later). The combat is quite solid and very punchy, and the use of various tools greatly enhances how you approach a given situation.

The visuals and audio design are outstanding; the enemy design is legitimately creepy. No one quite knows what the Complex is, what purpose it serves, or why the government is sending prison inmates into the depths to collect relics and information. The mystery of the game holds the whole thing together, although the devs have announced that they'll be adding more exposition in the future to flesh out the world a bit more. I'm excited to see where it goes.

A must-have for anyone who's into survival horror and teamwork.

If you're a fan of the Gothic franchise, obviously you have to play this teaser because it's free, but if the finished product is released in this state, even as a massive fan of the Gothic and Risen series, I would NOT recommend this to anyone, even to fellow fans. It's clunky; it's embarrasing; it's bug-ridden (which may not be the case in a final release, but if you're going to release a teaser, maybe fix some of the bugs first?); the writing and voice-acting are terrible; the combat is tedious at best, frustrating at worst. Remember when you met Diego for the first time? Remember when you met him again in Gothic II and were super excited that he was back? He's a ♥♥♥♥ in this teaser. You won't like him at all.

Gothic fans: give it a shot, but be very wary of what you're getting into. I've played Gothics I, II, and III despite their flaws, and I like ALL of them better than this demo.

Considering this game is free, I don't really understand how anyone can not recommend it.

I'm very much into VR cooking games (maybe because I'm a cook by trade), and while this isn't cooking per se, it is more or less the same formula: crafting concoctions and serving customers. If that's your sort of thing, this is a must-have, especially at the price of $0.00! Everything you need — glasses, spirits, mixers, your cash register — are within reaching distance or, in the case of the register, a step or two out of the way. It's actually quite a comfortable work space.

My only real complaint about the game is the movement; unlike most VR games, rather than pushing the thumbstick forward to move, you have to hold it in. Coming from a Robo Recall/Skyrim VR background, it feels very strange. The menu interaction is equally bizarre: you have to hold the thumbstick in for an inordinate amount of time to make menu selections. I can't for the life of me understand why the devs didn't make it a simple point-and-click.

Get over those issues and you've got a pretty solid "cooking" game here. Even at a ridiculously modest price of $4.99 I might still recommend it, but for free you really can't let this one slide. I don't expect any updates in the near future, least of all any sort of multiplayer, but it's a great way to relax in VR at the end of a hard day of real work.

I have not bought the fidget spinner DLC as of writing this review, but I'm going to, not because I give a crap about a fidget spinner, but because I want to support the dev and see them make more bigger, better games.

I had the misfortune of playing SUPERHOT for the first time on VR, and it sort of ruined me forever. It was literally the best gaming expierience of my life. So if you're interested in this game, either buy the VR version or find a VR gaming lounge near you. You will not regret it.

I'm on the VR-bandwagon; we'll be getting a kit soon. (I'm torn between grabbing a Rift S or waiting for the most-likely-superior Cosmos to drop in a few weeks.) Being the impatient mess that I am, I decided to finally try the desktop version while I wait for the paychecks to flow in. That's what I'm reviewing now.

Hands-down, SUPERHOT VR is a must-have. SUPERHOT desktop, on the other hand . . . is still one hell of a fun ride! It's absolutely and completely different from the VR version because VR distills it down to shooting and dodging, easily the best part of the experience. The weird thing is, the desktop version actually has a story. A really weird, really interesting story.

I'll cut this a bit short because I have games to play. If you're a 40+ nerd like I am, you will love the references in this game. If you spent time on 56k BBS's, you'll love this game. This game is for 90's dorks, and this game is for hardcore FPS'ers. No one will hate this game. Unless you're one of those people who's like, "it's only 2 hours." It's the best two hours I've ever paid for. Quality over quantity, fool.

Also, I'm four hours into the game and I'm not sure I'm anywhere near the end. I also hear there's an endless mode? Can't wait to shoot 1987 guys in the face.

If you're already a fan of SUPERHOT and just happen to be reading this for whatever reason, check out the upcoming MIND CONTROL DELETE, in early access at the time of writing. It's more SUPERHOT greatness with a fresh story.

If you plan on playing by yourself — and it is a blast, even single-player — wait for a half-off sale . . . but if you have a coterie of couch-gaming friends, or you're a family looking for some clean fun, you NEED this game. Nippon Marathon is another must-have piece of family/friend entertainment, alongside the likes of Overcooked and You Don't Know Jack. </shameless name-dropping>

This game is the primary reason I've maintained a virtual machine with Windows XP, because you can't install in on a 64-bit OS. Now you can. If you haven't played You Don't Know Jack, you absolutely owe it to yourself to do so. If you don't like game shows, there's a good chance you'll like this one. If you do like game shows, YOU MUST PLAY THIS GAME. So much better with a friend or two (up to three people can play), but it's still an absolute blast to play alone.

Several years back I took it upon myself to purchase CD copies of every YDKJ game in the entire series because I LOVE THIS GAME SO FREAKING MUCH! It stands the test of time like no other game can. I have yet to meet anyone who hasn't fallen in love with YDKJ on the first play.
