Once you've gotten used to the game and found your rhythm, it really starts to feel like you're dancing. However, it only becomes truly interesting when you download custom songs, where the difficulty can increase dramatically. At that point it feels more like dodging bullets, and it makes me sweat so much that I'd honestly say it's the best workout I've ever had.

The game crashes far too often, and every time it does, I lose a whole day of progress. At this point, it's just too annoying and not worth the time.

Supports DualSense haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and gyro aiming!

I've tried so many hacking sims and most of them just feel off. This one feels more realistic. The UI and the websites in this game actually look and work like something you would see in real life. Super fun to mess around with and I can't wait for the full release!

Optimizing my loadout and materia setup for every character kept me busy for hours and was a lot of fun, almost like back in the original. I really enjoy the new card game and the rhythm minigame on the piano as well.

Finally, no more corridor levels! You can jump over everything, and it doesn't feel as on-rails as FF7 Remake. The story progresses a bit slower due to the open-world sections, but if you're not a completionist, you can probably skip most of it or come back later.

In the current version, the mud stains on the floor are completely invisible, making cleaning extremely difficult. The scanner only shows an icon for the pressure washer, but without visible stains, it’s nearly impossible to clean properly. In the beta version, everything was working as it should—why was this changed?

I even asked about this issue in the developer's Discord, but no one responded. The game seems abandoned, with no support or updates. Really disappointing.

"Master Leaf Blower" feels more like a prototype than a game. The default leaf blower volume is absurdly loud and resets every time you start a level. The music is repetitive, and even setting the volume slider to 0% doesn’t fully mute it. To make matters worse, there’s no actual settings menu: no way to adjust resolution, toggle V-Sync, or fine-tune mouse sensitivity. The lack of basic options makes it frustrating to play, even though the leaf-blowing mechanic itself is fun. Hoping for more updates.

Taxi Life scratches the same itch I have for bus and tram simulators. I love cruising through the city, picking up passengers, and following traffic rules. The driving feels smooth, and the city has a nice atmosphere. One great feature is that you can lean forward if you're too close to a traffic light to get a better view.

Unfortunately, there are no weather effects, which makes the world feel a bit static. The windshield wipers are only needed to remove bugs from the windshield, rather than dealing with rain or other conditions. Adding dynamic weather would make the experience more immersive.

The DualSense support in this game is amazing—it's the best haptic feedback I've ever experienced, and the gyro aiming is properly implemented. Unlike in other games, where it feels sluggish and just emulates the right stick, here it’s much more responsive and behaves like a real mouse.

I accidentally picked up a methane canister when I meant to throw something else into the smelting furnace. Now there's a crater where my base was.

The graphic style almost put me off buying this game, but luckily I changed my mind. The mix between exploring different planets and their cave systems and building a base is just right.
I find it immersive that you don't have a classic inventory, but have to attach the items to the backpack, storage and other equipment like building bricks.
