The general movement with the paint can sometimes be infuriating and I can just end up dying over and over when all I'm trying to do is casually move through the puzzle. I'm not talking about the surfing sections, I'm talking about the normal puzzles. Sometimes I leave blue paint on a wall where it doesn't need to be, and while bouncing I will slightly hit said wall, flinging me to my death unexpectedly. Or I will slightly misjudge my momentum with orange paint and get flung off where nobody theoretically should be dying. The game also fails to properly get you into the flow of quick movement, and sometimes while trying to go fast while you're advised to, your body gets sucked to one side of the platform, flinging you to your doom instead of the door across the gap. Overall not very satisfying and I would rather just play a platformer if I want that kind of movement, or another Portal mod if I want satisfying puzzles.

I was so close to giving this a thumbs down, I really was. The Dark Lord fight is awful in every way, imagine a souped up marauder on steroids and that's him. The idea of the marauder works for a common enemy, but not for a final boss. Having to wait around for the chance to hit him only for him to heal all that damage back up is frustrating, it's equivalent to trainers in Pokemon spamming full restores, not necessarily mechanically because it's not that insane, but mentally in the way it just frustrates the player. Add five phases on top of that, each of which changes very little, and it feels like a chore to beat him. I understand they wanted the player to feel like they were fighting an enemy equivalent to them but what the devs failed to understand is that those same mechanics that work for the player do NOT work on the enemy, especially a beefed up one. I did say the Marauder works, and that's because it doesn't heal up from hitting you. That's the main mechanic that makes the Dark Lord a problem. Another issue I have is the stone imps. Their role in the flow of combat feels out of place due to the face you're forced to use a specific gun mod to even deal damage (or use the hammer), they're not awful enemies but they just don't fit in and often ruin the pace. That's really all the gripes I have, the dlc is definitely fun most of the time otherwise, and last mission is just awesome with how slightly unconventional it feels for a doom game, in a good way (I won't spoil it ofc). If you liked the main game you'll probably like this dlc. Just don't be surprised when the final fight isn't fun.

There isn't very much to do in this game; it's a free game so that should be expected. But my problem with this game is that what there is to do isn't very good, mostly just mess around with a few things and just constantly run. But the way it's set up made me think it would lead to something more substantial, such as the whole stage shifting drastically in a way that gives a harsh challenge, or anything else that's substantial; but it didn't.

This is basically like terraria, but in space and with a story (story isn't too great, but hey, at least it's something else you can do). There are also a lot of great mods for this game on the workshop (including one that removes the story, and another one that extends the story).

It's short, but if you want a good puzzle, then give this one a try. Be careful though, this one starts in French. Just click the second option in the main menu and click on your preferred language.

It's an okay game. Not bad, not great. Just okay. If you want a game that reminds you of the nintendo 64 era, then go ahead and pick this up. It's only $2. Why not? If you played rayman 2 before though, maybe you should stay away from this one. A lot of the stuff in this game is copied straight from rayman 2. But this game has its own charm. That main character you play is charming as hell. I love that character design. Just the way he climbs using his ears, the way his neck stretches when he walks in water. Anyway, it's an ok game. Don't expect anything amazing.

Great game. Although you should probably download a traffic mod otherwise you will suffer from the poor traffic.

I got this game on sale for $20 on Humble Bundle. At full price this game is decent, but at $20 this game is great. It is an extremely worthy successor to Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. The only weird kinks about the game are the coaster building (ironically) and the path building. Don't get me wrong, the coaster building on its own is fine, but it has a bit of a steep learning curve to start with, as it doesn't really tell you how to decrease g forces, increase excitement, etc. And the path building works fine enough except for weird moments where paths act weird. But once you get past these two things the game is a delight to play.

This is one of the best comeback stories in gaming in a long time. After a terrible launch, the game has fully turned around with Hello Games making up for their mistakes. If you buy this game you are guaranteed free updates, no loot boxes, no microtransactions, etc.
