I've been suffering from depression and an anxiety disorder for several years now, recently even been diagnosed with it, and just as I was having an utterly terrible day, I managed to land my first Rolling Death Cradle in Ranked and won the match. That made me feel actually so good that the day turned out pretty alright

Thank you Harada and all the hardworking devs for this gift to the world

EDIT: Season 2 is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess lmao. This game used to bring me such joy and such anger but now it's just a disappointment

I haven't been scared this hard in years, and none of the scares had loud noises or flashing images thrown at me for a cheap scare
It was a comfy hunting sim until it wasn't comfy anymore

Genuinely 10/10, another good one from David

An immediate favorite as a guy who's always looking for games with fun melee gameplay, and it is extremely fun, every single hit feels good to land, combos are fun and smooth to pull off once you learn them.
Variety of weapons, and even variety between each weapon, is super solid and more are added.
Every class feels very different and offers unique playstyles, or different difficulties.
Bonus shoutout to the Berserker class that starts with a giant sword called Hundred Man Slayer, which is actually my favorite. It's so slow that you can easily, and it's even encouraged to, swing manipulate your sword with your aim to hit more enemies, or to hit them faster

For the visual design, you might at first glance think the artstyle is ugly, as many people do, but don't forget how well it serves the gameplay. Enemies, traps and projectiles stand out from things excellently well. I have never died because I couldn't tell what something was. Enemy silhouettes are great and recognizable and the stand-out colors complement them amazingly well. Maybe only clarity problem is sometimes not knowing where the exact line is with floor spikes where you can stand before your toes get poked

As of now, my only real complaints are very small, such as the blood pools not being a very fun mechanic, or that i wish there was a bigger variety of character skills and weapon / armor skills. Seeing as the game is updated fairly frequently with content, most likely over time even that won't be a problem anymore

9.9/10
When I get into the zone with combos during Trial of Resolve it's the most fun I've had with melee in a videogame
I bought this game for 15€ from a small sale, and I feel like I robbed the dev. I can't recommend this game enough to anyone looking for good melee based games. Now I just wait for more classes and weapons. If there's potentially a mod support later in the future with chance to download more classes and weapons from the community, that would solidify this as an all-time favorite I'll go back to for years to come, but I'm thinking of an utopia situation. I feel like the game is already so good I couldn't be seriously asking for so much more

still, I wish blood pools didn't ruin my untouchable challenges anymore :(

the fact that this is what videogames are now is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous

I had heard so much about this being the best roguelite and the best deckbuilder around so I just bought it to find out what the big deal was

Now I'm a believer

Went in expecting a fine boomershooter but it was actually a really good one right to the end. Maybe in episode 2 it started to fall off a little, but picked back up later. Usually these kinda games tend to really steer towards annoying enemy or map designs near the end to make it harder, but i felt like Postal instead went for more fun or inventive designs.
Thoroughly enjoyable, highly recommended

Honestly I just find the casual deliveries without any special events or occurrences super relaxing

A very enjoyable game that becomes a little too grindy somewhere after the middle point, especially if you want to do your best to keep your cult to full happiness and potential

Combat is kind of whatever but it works well, sometimes I have some trouble with figuring out where projectiles actually are in the weird perspective but it's a small problem

The real meat of the game for me is in the cult management, it's a very enjoyable and fun mini town-management type of game, where you build buildings and do favors for your cultists, hold sermons and perform rituals, all in turn giving you either experience or other buffs

A really good game with some flaws, maybe a bit pricey but I don't really regret paying full price for something so lovably satanic either

An absolute masterpiece of an expansion that multiplies the content and gives some actual difficulty to the end-game, but unfortunately starts really really slow.

New mechanics are all fine and cool, new switch skills, the switch skill swap, the new marionette spider and all the such, but unfortunately as an HBG main, the new switch skills feel a little useless. Setting up a little shooting base feels alright but I don't tend to get to stay there much, and I don't want to keep swapping back and forth between skill sets. But I've heard mostly good things about the other weapons' new skills
Of course, Master Ranks bring a lot of new depth into build optimization, and new fashion choices are always a really good thing to bring more of. Personally I've gotten to change around my build a lot, and to think over and optimize my decorations and armor sets a lot, which is one of my favorite parts

The worst part has to be the early start of the expansion, where you get to fight one new monster, and then it's some hours of doing the same stuff you've already done before you actually get to new stuff. They definitely should have spread the new monsters a little more evenly, especially since once you reach the new monsters, you'll get a lot of them at the same exact time. But, after you do reach that, it's all golden, all of the new monsters are really good additions and I adore most of them. Astalos is a really cool fight, Sergios is fun, and Malzeno delivered everything I wanted from my new favorite monster design, and more.

I've read some reviews and noticed a lot of people seem to have crashing issues, which I don't but is definitely something to take into consideration before you buy it

I'd easily recommend this if you liked Rise, again, I'm very stingy with my money, but haven't regretted paying full price for a second. This expansion made Rise become my favorite game of all time, taking out the spot from Fallout New Vegas that was my favorite since it released in 2010
9.9/10, have to snip a little from how dull the early parts were

This game truly encapsulates the finnish vibe and experience, including the dumb ways to die

I love just taking the boat to the cottage island, heating up the sauna and getting drunk there. It's comfy
