Really solid picross. Not much else to say - have fun!

I really wanted to like this but I just can't see what all my friends love about it... The gameplay is pretty dull and far too easy. It took me three hours to die on my first and only run, and I spent the last half of that time hoping that something would just kill me quickly so I could get it over with. I'm really not sure why so many people love it. The art style is difficult to look at and after just one run it feels like the game has nothing new to throw at me. At least I only spent £2 on it rather than £20? If anyone has any tips to help me get more enjoyment out of this game I'm all ears.

Played up until the limit of my ability. I would highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in computer science! It's playable for anyone who has a very base understanding of what assembly code is or how it works, at least for the first few levels. After that it gets to an un-fun level of challenge, but I think someone smarter computer-wise than me will enjoy it greatly. I had a lot of fun getting to grips with the funky architecture.

Good, fun, brutal combat with your friends!

Deltarune is an absolutely brilliant, life-changing kind of story. I kind of wish it wasn't a game, because I don't really enjoy the gameplay of it, but the story demands that it is a game, so we have to deal with it. And thankfully the art, music, animation and overall style maintains Toby Fox's modus operandi of being absolutely bloody brilliant. There is nobody else I would trust to have this story finish out in the way it deserves. Can't wait for the next chapter!

I've only played the campaign so far, but it's one of if not the best FPS campaigns I've ever played. Sure, it's short and sweet, but to be honest I'm glad they didn't arbitrarily stretch it out - the pacing is perfect. The story is incredible and very engaging. Art and music aren't massively stand out, but they're really lovely anyway and sometimes you don't have to do something amazing to be good. Gameplay-wise, Titanfall shines. I didn't know I needed an FPS with mech combat, Mirror's Edge-style parkour, time travel and dinosaurs until now. BT is my new best friend. We're getting soft tacos later.

In terms of the negatives, I did find the campaign a little easy playing on regular difficulty, and I can't imagine the higher difficulties will be much worse, but maybe I've suddenly improved in my gaming abilities. I also found the pace of introduction of the various mech kits a little hard to keep up with as there wasn't much time to get to know each of them before moving onto the next. Other than that though, absolutely stellar campaign. I can't really fault it and I'm sure it's prepped me well to try out multiplayer!

Really good fun, especially when playing with friends. I absolutely don't understand what I'm meant to be doing yet but I'm having fun while doing it!

Absolutely exceptional party game which is super easy to pick up, even for people who don't play games often. Very very worth it!

i appear to have developed a crippling addiction

This is probably in my top 10 games of all time! The original Psychonauts had a lot of amazing parts (the art direction, the dialogue, the gameplay concept) and a lot of not-so-amazing parts (general jankiness, psychiatric malpractice, the meat circus). Psychonauts 2 builds on all the amazing parts of the original while improving on the problems it had, resulting in an incredible gameplay experience that is just genuinely fun. My only criticisms are that the finale was a little underwhelming, and there were some parts of the game (namely, Otto's gadgets) that I forgot existed so didn't take advantage of until the post-game. Really enjoyable stuff, highly recommend, and please please PLEASE can we have a DLC with more Milla and Sasha <3
