Incredible game if you like fast japanese-style mech combat. Very glad this franchise made it to PC after so long. Can't really compare it to the earlier games because I didn't have the consoles they were exclusive to but this is making me want to use an emulator.

Very good game, lots of fun configurations, fun missions, good VFX, combat feels snappy and "juicy". Very satisfying. The arena is pretty good too. Definitely recommend.

Amazing indie game. Its challenging, has a unique visual aesthetic, fun enemy designs, good replayability. Its especially good with friends. There's many times you will die just because you got dealt a bad hand with the traps and enemies you encountered but death is never too painful.

This game is incredible. I've only played for around an hour and I can tell this is a masterpiece. Deep game mechanics, fluid movement, beautiful colorful art style, very satisfying to play, and its overall just fun. This might seriously be one of my favorite indies to release this year. Feels amazing to fly over an enemy, grapple them in the back, yank them up in the air, pound them with your sword, and then kick them off the ledge or follow up with another attack to the back, all while they're totally stunned from the very first attack. The ability to chain combos together like this while managing crowds of enemies is so satisfying and provides a lot of enjoyment in replays to get a flawless run. Only other games I've played that have combo chains that feel this good are superhot and hyperdemon.

Good game with decent controls. Its a solid rust clone and being able to fly around and do duck stuff does add a layer of enjoyment. However, its a bit frustrating that you can't research blueprints directly like the tech tree in rust allows you to do. In Duckside you have to rely on finding rare loot you can research using the research bench or pray you find what you want in a blueprint vending machine.

Overall its a solid game that's fun to play with friends (and you will want friends). Time will tell whether it will be able to distinguish itself enough from rust to maintain a stable playerbase after launch. I will also mention that I appreciate the developer's choice to allow community-hosted servers, I'm sure that will also add to the longevity of the game. For me though, with as frustrating as it is to get high-level blueprints, I think I'll just go back to rust for now and keep an eye on how this game develops.

I think I would still recommend this to people who are interested, especially if you can get it on sale.

This game is so much fun! Can see myself spending a lot of time with this one.

RETURN TO MONKE

Awesome immersive-sim! Top tier game design, fun items and weapons, lots of progression and upgrades, good story and amazing environmental storytelling. Like Half-life mixed with fallout 3

Amazing DLC. Almost a full game worth of content all by itself. The final DLC boss is unreasonably difficult but the DLC bring a ton of fun new areas, bosses, dungeons, and items to play with. I honestly think I had a better time with this DLC than I've had with many other games.

Its very difficult but it was a good challenge, it really cranks Elden Ring up to 11 and adds many innovative new mechanics. Not to mention some of the new weapons are the best I've seen in any souls game. Highly recommend.

One of the developers behind GRIP and Rollcage worked on this game. I never want the combat racing genre to die, this is some good stuff!

Speed Freeks is tons of fun despite just releasing around two weeks ago. The devs have been rolling out some much needed fixes and balance changes and its shaping up to be something special.

Awesome game! Fun levels and creative weapons too. Wish it had multiplayer.

Haven't finished it but its been great so far
