After 45 minutes of un-skippable cutscenes and about 5 minutes of playing I've quit due to boredom.

Some funny background humour, nice pixel art and sound but the monotone narration and simplistic and virtually non-existent game-play has rendered this as a no from me.

I don't recommend it.

I don't know why because on the surface it's really fun, yet it's empty, janky and the overall atmosphere makes me feel uneasy.

This is the definition of early access.

-Pro's-
• Satisfying to shoot things when you get on a roll
• Nice to look at, graphics aren't outstanding but they fit
• Multiple levels
• Achievements
• Difficulty ramps up as you get higher

-Neutral-
• Sound is very basic
• Boss fights are very slow, these should be far more tense but are in fact either way too easy or way too hard, similarly there's only a select few "quotes" that pop up for the bosses.
• The single letter hoards are too much, for me at least, I'm sure there are people out there who can handle them.

-Cons-
• Dictionary is all over the place. Playing in English there are french words, words that aren't even words and some offensive language. Whilst the latter doesn't bother ME I can imagine will offend others.
• Words can jump around making it hard to follow what's next
• You can start a word that's off screen with the same letter as one on screen, can lead to some confusion
• Special doesn't do anything against bosses
• Limited shoot sounds make the game eventually get very repetitive
• Boss fights are too static, the animations are too slow and the phrases repeat themselves

-Overall-
I picked this up half price for just over £3. Cheaper than a pint and it lasted me longer. I will keep this title in my library in the hope of it getting completed as what's here is quite fun, it would just be nicer to feel it more polished, refined and ironed out.

What I think needs adding (I may have missed these options, I didn't check):
• Difficulty setting
• Dictionary choice - perhaps themes, word length etc
• More variety to sounds, bosses etc

-Final words-
Early access title that's a tad over-priced, I'd recommend on sale, if I had paid full price for this I would have likely refunded it. Give it a go it's quite satisfying. There's also achievements which is a nice touch.

Eh, neutral rating on this one.

This game is immense fun. But I've completed it in 3 hours.

I haven't got an S rank on all levels and I don't think I ever will because it's not *that* fun, more stressful racing against the multiplier on killing enemies, takes the fun out of it.

Positive review because the initial play through was a blast and I felt like a right badass.

Very addictive little game. It's made by the people that made FTL although you can't draw any comparisons other than the art style.

Each squad you unlock has a unique play style that is fun to work out the most efficient bug squashing tactics.

I've just completed it 100% and enjoyed all of it, I recommend this game if you enjoy logical puzzle games and/or games that you play varied runs of the same levels repeatedly.

Mediocre graphics, sound, story and game mechanics.

Great concept poorly executed amongst a bland environment, text heavy screens and tedious missions.

There may be something I'm missing here, so I'll likely check it out again next time I'm bored, but for now, I'm out.

Trailmakers is a fun physics sandbox that's playable online with friends.

A friend and I completed the campaign in a week and had fun every step of the way. The campaign consists of a large island where you start with minimal building blocks unlocked, with the end goal of collecting the required parts to build a rocket and leave. The parts are located around the island and require collecting with appropriate vehicles, starting with cars that push the parts, to magnets, to boats, subs, planes and helicopters. Each vehicle is affected by realistic* physics and must be built to compensate such. The building is done block by block with different parts that affect movement, aerodynamics and strength.

I highly recommend this game simply for the campaign**. There are also races, sandbox and various game modes to enjoy.

*Physics can be a be janky at times
** I completed it with a friend, I don't think I would make it that far solo

I got this in the Humble Choice, I don't think I would pay £20 for it, however on a sale of £15 or less I would recommend it if you have someone to play it with.

Edit: About graphics, I've looked through the menus and turned everything up a bit and it's reasonably better, but still not amazing.

In this game you can lift your arms upwards at the end of a wall run to initiate a side flip, and this is not always registered so it can be irritating. However, looking further into the menus I've found SO MANY options you can customise. Now, when jumping you can lift your arms up to initiate a flip forward, backward or sideways and activate slo-mo. What used to be temperamental fun from a wall run is now on tap for use and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is it fun. - best to have VR legs, I can handle this stuff for quite some time but after activating this even I started to feel wobbly.

Sairento, where to start..

This game sports bad graphics, a laughable story and other irritable problems.

The story is horrific, portrayed mainly through phone calls with subtitles that clip through the floor and wall. On the couple of occasions you do meet characters their voices are playing directly in your ears and they are just staring forward talking akin to a PS1 or PS2 game. No stereo audio to be heard in this department and no sense of self in them talking forward and through you.

The locomotion will make you throw your guts up over and over again, unless you have your VR legs. You will clip on things you can't see, you will sometimes not wall-run but instead bounce.

The weapons have no balls to them, whilst they are mostly fun to use, I just use the pistols. The sword feels too flimsy whilst the rifles and smg's feel like pea shooters.

There is no indication what the collectables are for or that they can be used for anything.

So why is this review positive?

It's really good fun!

Diving, jumping and sliding through enemies on progressively harder levels can be incredibly satisfying. It turns out through the awkward main menu you can find character levelling up, weapon customisation and completely free weapon load out choice. Back and side-flipping (although stomach turning to begin with) off walls is great fun along with freedom to drop into slo-mo to refine shots, dodge incoming attacks and get out of hot spots.

Where this game shines is in the endless mission runs where the difficulty ramps up, as you perfect your ninja abilities and try to stay alive for as long as possible.

You need to go into the game settings to look at all the changes available to you. Aside from different controller support there's fine tuning of bow and arrow aim, when to activate slo-mo, crouching, virtually everything to customise your cyber ninja experience.

After looking in here, I no longer play "jump around, snap 90 degrees everywhere" but jump around, flip, turn smoothly etc, and it's made the game 10x mroe enjoyable.

To trophy hunters: some of the achievements are a bit wanky, and others are downright tedious.

I'd recommend this game 100% on sale, full price if you're prepared to power through some tedious missions and a few setup changes regarding which options are on/off. I picked it up a while ago for <£10 and felt it was adequate.

Boring, would've been OK if I played this on KillSomeTime 14 years ago.

Just look at the global achievement %'s.

Fun game, plays a lot like CSGO.

There's always servers to choose from online but for me playing with your friends is where this game shines along with skill based shooting and reloading. There's workshop support so all your favourite CS maps are in there amongst new community created content.

Unfortunately it can get a little tedious in the deathmatch modes as the spawning is completely random, my next step is to try some proper competitive but I'm yet to find a server/group..

Dev team went from 1 man to many so this should start to grow exponentially. I've already seen massive updates and improvements since my purchase.
