Gryphon puzzle is bugged. Last 2 numbers are impossible to make. People demonstrating online pretend to know but can never actually make it work.

Not going to mince words. This is the best game I've ever played in my entire life. I've literally been struggling to find something that successfully expanded on something old, or came up with something new, with stories that were original and a world that was sprawling, with graphics that absolutely blow your mind and seem to still perform on non-2080 systems... Though every so often even on my 2080 system, I get bouts of lag here and there.

The only two complaints I have about this game are that the coop multiplayer is seemingly needlessly complex and unstable on PC. Also, there are a lot of things that just don't give you any explanation, like status icons such as buffs or debuffs.

I've heard stories of people beating the game in 90 hours and I can see that as totally possible, but I'm exploring every aspect of the game, trying every weapon I could try, and just roaming into areas that the story takes me into. And never disappointed and I'm never at a loss for what to do next.

The game is just massive and at about 190 hours, I've still got several major bosses remaining which is super exciting for me.

I cannot recommend this game enough. It is worth every ounce of the money I've paid for it.

If you don't have it, you should totally get it. These games do start as hard for people, but the challenge is so rewarding.

Take my money for any future expansions you decide to make. Just take it.

I've been playing this game night after night on my giant screen TV with my girlfriend beside me. We have so much fun just looking at everything. The graphics are absolutely amazing and it runs flawlessly on my 2080.

The gameplay is so great. I at first thought I was going to control the other characters on my team, but instead they fight alongside you and you tell them which special moves to use when you want them to use them and when they've closed down.

The story just goes on and on and on.

It's absolutely fantastic. I cannot see how anyone would not have an amazing time playing this game. Also, it plays on an Xbox style control very well.

Simple couch co-op shooter. Graphics are retro/pixel, and the game does what it sets out to do. But overall, pretty worth the purchase if you can get it on sale.

Hard as nails, but worth the fight. Classic but beautiful vintage cartoon graphics.

My kids still play this after having it for years. Every so often its popularity revives and the kids get back into it. Not as good as smash, but a fun PC replacement. GamePad recommended. Plays well streaming on the Steam Link.

While it can be a little repetitive, the game still managed replayability. Its colorful, with plenty of personality, and a sufficient amount of variety to keep your attention. Great for couch-co-op gamers like my family, especially with some younger kids. Game pad recommended.

I'd recommend this game if it was a lower price. Maybe $15. Sure, its pretty. Its also somewhat relaxing . . . But it just feels like a shell of a game. Like there needs to be more. Other cars on the road maybe. You just feel SO alone in this big pretty world.

The menus are also like that of an unpolished beta.

If you want to charge $25 for a game, there should be more to do.

I played and enjoyed it for 4 hours, but have literally not had any interest in playing it again. Even when I look at the pictures, I get a bit of that feeling of, "Wow, so pretty . . . I want to drive there". But that's where it ends. Because I know I've already driven there, and it was lonely.

One of the most well thought out games I've ever played. They really thought of almost everything.

I think they could have committed to creating more weapon types with Iceborne so there was more to look forward to. Oh well. Still a lot of fun. Very grindy though.

We played through the first island. We got to the second island and saved and exited. When we started up again we started on the first island because that's where it put us. There is no way to get off this island and no indicator as to how. We've cleared everything, we've maxed out all the cupcakes, and I'm concluding now that I've spent money on something that is broken and I'm quite annoyed about it since multiple people have actually experienced this and a developer has even seen one of the requests about it. It's a good game otherwise, a little Bland in the level design and color department, but I can't recommend it like this.
