A cute little puzzle game! Its a very relaxing game despite being pretty challenging as more cats (pieces) get added. I think they could have done more to 'bring this game to life' either with more unique animations for each cat, audios, puzzle art style, etc. However, for a $3 I think it gives you enough content to be happy!

I love kitty games, 8/10

A lot shorter than I expected but its a free game and was cute! Replicates the movements, audio, and personality that droids in Star Wars have. The gameplay is quite simple, it seems to be more of an atmospheric demo than anything! Still a full game might be fun if they ever decide to do it!

Took me about half and hour to 100% the game so its quick and sweet, 7.5/10

For a free game, this is surprisingly in-depth with a super cool artstyle! I would happily pay for a longer version of this game, hell I would've paid a couple bucks to play just this which makes it being FREE that much better. The story is a mix of finding tapes and listening to dialogue and also observing your surroundings and piecing it all together. The movement is very fun with every new ability adding more and more options! The first two boss fights were a bit lackluster but I really enjoyed the mechanics of the final boss fight!

Good story, great gameplay, amazing art style, beautiful music; there is no reason if you like single-player games to not try this out, 11/10 MASTERPIECE

While it was a pretty fun game, once you get all the abilities or 'carts', the colors changing all over the place really makes it hard to track what you have equipped, where you are going, what ability you need on to collect the 'onigiri' collectibles. Makes it extremely annoying when the levels get really hectic and require more and more precise inputs. The main storyline missions and collectibles were super fun though, this more pertains to the endgame challenges you can find after unlocking everything.

Could've been one for the ages if it wasn't for the crazed color schemes going on, 7.5/10

A cute, little puzzle game! Some good thinkers in here, I wish there was more to do even if it was just repeats. Also maybe a bit more responsiveness to moving around puzzles and speed the balls move on the puzzles.

Overall, a good 1-2 hours for a FREE game! 9/10

An incredibly in-depth game, full of unique characters, voice acting, deck-building, enemies, buffs/debuffs, challenges, and so on and so much more! Its actually crazy how much emphasis on deck-building the game focuses on, constantly giving you new cards for each of the characters, seemingly endless! Each character is incredibly unique in their personality and play style. The way the atmosphere, lighting, and audio changes from scene to scene despite all taking place at a table is mesmerizing. The endgame for this is so well-crafted by giving you new daily challenges each in one of the different game modes and a unique modifier to go with it. I could rant on and on but I would be here all day.

One of the greatest deck-building games PERIOD. 11/10 Masterpiece

Some of the reviews I have seen say that the songs aren't great but I highly DISAGREE, these songs slap and some of them even get stuck in my head all day! The DLC songs are also bangers throwing in japanese rock. I love the uniqueness of having 6 note lanes although I wish you could edit the UI to be a bit smaller as on fast, difficult songs it can get a bit hectic looking around the screen.

Biggest thing this game needed was a practice mode as on hard difficulties, the tough part is usually closer to the end of the song so having no way to practice it before attempting it is throwing pasta on the wall and hoping it sticks lol Just some way to practice specific parts of songs would be nice.

Overall it is a super fun game with sweet songs, 8/10

Firewatch is a beautiful story game filled with great voice acting, chemistry between the main characters and mystery at every step! You think you understand what is going on but as the story develops, it takes twists and turns leaving you theorizing what is happening and what will happen next. I could only wish there was a bit more wildlife roaming about, even if you can't get too close, something to fill the map as you roam around. It does a great job giving it landmarks and being able to speak with 'Delilah' about just about everything significant breathes life into the dialogue.

I would recommend grabbing it on sale, but $20 is not too crazy for the story and art style of the game! You can definitely have two fulfilling playthroughs out of this game with the range of dialogue options you are given at every step.

An amazing range of emotions on this rollercoaster, 9/10

An incredibly fun game, fast-paced, fair, and excitedly intense shooter! So many weapons, perks, and showdown abilities to choose from, you can really customize your playstyle! The sound effects are top notch and the music track (although I wish there was more variety) is still cool as hell. I wish there were more 'maps' to choose from, even if it is just slight reskins of the same one since you do so many runs, just that little change could add another layer of uniqueness per run.

They even added a free update with more content and added a secret ending, the devs seem to care about their players and giving them more!

Can't get over how fun this game is, 10/10 MASTERPIECE

While I was a huge enjoy-er of this game, a lot of the puzzle "types" were not always a hit to me. When they are good they are good, but when they are bad they are frustrating. Specially ones using the environment around you to determine the path was always weird with some fitting nicely and others seeming broken. I did enjoy a majority of the puzzle "types" though and for the most part when they are mixed together it was understandable.

This game is not for the faint of heart, it is extremely tough in some cases but there are tons of guides out there if you get stuck on one or two! The layout of the map maybe could've done better but it is a puzzle game and they made the whole map confusing like a puzzle so what can you do lol

Also for some reason the Steam release only has 2 achievements whereas the console versions have more? Would've been nice to have one for every beatable "area" of the game like the console versions but doesn't take away from this great game!

Mind-blowing and mind hurting, 8/10
