Was expecting just another generic action-RPG, but this has a ton of quality. The combat feels great, music and sound is great, visuals are great. The RPG elements (so far) do not feel tedious or overwhelming. Just the overall way the game presents itself is very smooth. Several of the tutorial parts are optional, and even if you choose to view a tutorial, it's usually very quick and snappy and easily digestible. The boss fights were fun and exciting. I will say, at least in the demo, the game did not feel super challenging, but there were definitely a few times when I realized I was about to die, so it seems like a reasonable level of challenge, and I obviously expect the challenge to grow as the game progresses. Bottom line, this turned into an instant wishlist for me, and possibly day one purchase.

It's a 3D Vampire Survivors. It has a goofy style about it, but the gameplay is perfect, and just makes you want to keep playing. I think it's better than Vampire Survivors.

A criminally overlooked speed-running game. Has great momentum-based movement. First played it around 15 years ago (good grief), but recently revisited, and it's still fantastic.

Great little game with a lot of heart and creativity. It wasn't super challenging, but I don't know that it really needed to be.

A great little arcade-y game you can pick up for a few minutes at a time. I'm only around half way through, but I've enjoyed it enough to go ahead and write and review.

Left stick moves your dot, right stick fires bullets in the direction aimed, but while firing, your speed is significantly reduced, so you can't just fire all the time. It becomes a balancing act of firing and then getting away, etc. The enemies behave in some interesting ways, and I find myself saying "Oh, cool idea" very often. The game gets difficult pretty quickly, but every 4th stage is a checkpoint, so there's always a manageable goal to be working toward. And it never feels very bad to revert to your checkpoint.

This is just a great, simple, fun experience all around.

What an incredible collection of games. The retro aesthetic is pitch perfect. And I love how the games just throw you right in without hand-holding tutorials. You get the joy of figuring out the games on your own, just like the old days. The game is under-priced in my opinion, considering all the value that's here.

What a great little surprise. Nice clean display. Good settings. Feels like a labor of love. This will be my go-to now whenever I get the Minesweeper itch.

My friends and I had a lot of fun with this digital version. Love that the base game is free, and they make it easy to purchase and add the expansions. There's not a lot of fluff here. A pretty simple UI, etc, which is a plus. Easy to just jump in and start playing. Dominion is already a wonderfully designed game, and this digital version does exactly what it's supposed to do in replicating that experience!

I just feel like I owe it to this game to write a review. Rocket League is simply one of the greatest online multiplayer game experiences of all time. There is literally nothing else like it.

Fantastic little game! Creative idea. Challenging. Makes you think about a lot going on at one time.
