TL;DR:

• + Dynamic and Fluid Combat System
  
• + Good Character Creation
  
• + Lots of ways to specialize and improve your character
  
• + A Ton of content

• - Graphics are slightly better than the original but already outdated
  
• - Lackluster Presentation and boring Story
  
• - Badly optimized for a Remastered edition

This is a remaster, not a remake - so dont expect any big changes. It looks slightly better (though still pretty outdated for a 2020 release), and the levelling and loot system have been adjusted (Those are actually good changes).
In regards to optimization, it works fine-ish. Some areas are prone to slight framedrops and for a remaster, they should've really worked more on the loadtimes.
Bascially if you liked the original, or if you are looking for a "Single-Player MMORPG" you'll like Re-Reckoning.
The combat system is great and you always have ways to improve your character.
The Story however, isn't very engaging as far as I am concerned, and most dialogue is rather tedious.

I have since achieved multiple endings
TL;DR:

• + Engaging Story
  
• + Lovable Characters
  
• + Good Combat-System
  
• + Awesome PC Port
  
• + Multiple Endings
  
• + Hidden Secrets
  
• + Great Soundtrack

• - A little tedious at points
  
• - Romances barely recognized by the Story outside of designated events

This game has a ton of Overwhelmingly Positiv reviews for a good reason. It's splendid PC port, it's fun, the murder-mystery story is engaging, the characters are great and memorable, the combat system is good and reasonably challenging and there's a ton of content here.
Honestly, it's just amazing and worth every cent.
Can't wait for the Port of P5, that is surely gonna happen after these sales figures.

TL;DR:

• + Fun, arcady racing
  
• + Decent story (for a NFS game anyways)
  
• + Great customization options
  
• + Graphically Impressive

• - Lackluster PC-Port
  
• - Bad song selection

Considering how poor the Series has been doing lately, I'd say this one is a step in the right direction.
PC port could be better and in my opinion the Soundtrack is pretty bad, but overall it's a decent game.
I'd probably recommend getting it on a sale.
I wouldnt buy it at full price again.

My first impressions:

TL;DR:

• + Expansive, detailed character creator
  
• + Lots of choices, that at least early on have an impact
  
• + Intriguing Story
  
• + Interesting Partymembers
  
• + Challenging Difficulty Curve

• - Clunky Combatsystem

If you enjoyed, Pillars or Eternity, Baldurs Gate II, Planescape Torment or anything similar, you'll probably have a blast with this.
It's great!

I have since finished the game
TL;DR:

• + A very UNIQUE experience
  
• + Incredibly Atmospheric
  
• + Endearing, memorable story
  
• + Good Puzzle- and Platforming variety
  
• + Lovely soundtrack that always manages to enhance the scene

• - Linear
  
• - Short
  
• - Basically no replay value

This is a lovingly crafted 3rd Person Puzzle-Platformer, the caliber of which you wont find often. While it is very short and has little replay value, its an experience unlike any other, that I highly recommend you check out.
If you enjoyed games such as "Journey" or "Brothers a Tale of Two Sons" chances are you'll like this too.
And even if you didnt, there's still a good chance you'll enjoy this, if you're a person that can immerse themselves well.

My first impressions:

TL;DR:

• + Satisfying, meaty gunplay
  
• + Very atmospheric
  
• + Intersting weapons and modification options
  
• + Intriguing Story
  
• + Graphically impressive

• - For the most part very linear

If you're looking for a competent post-apocalyptic shooter, with great atmosphere, look no further!
The PC port is great, it runs smoothly, the gunplay feels satisfying, and it's just an overall great game. And hey, no ridiculous exclusivity deals for this one.
Get this instead of Exodus if you dont want to support anti-consumer BS.

I have since finished the game multiple times.
TL;DR:

• + Incredibly engaging story
  
• + Interesting characters
  
• + Lots of choices that ACTUALLY make a difference
  
• + Crazy High replay value
  
• + Graphically impressive
  
• + Amazing Soundtrack

• - Dialogue not skippable (annoying when replaying segments)

Overall an engaging story with lots of choices, that YES, for once actually do matter. Probably the best choices matter game you'll currently find. (Aside from text-based only games)

• + Base game is very cheap - still has decent song selection
  
• + For novices and masters alike - People that say this game is easy do not understand the scoring system
  
• + Awesome visuals, well placed notes and keysound system making for super satisfying gameplay
  
• + All quality of life features and adjustments expected from a good rhythm game included (offset value, 3d and 2d visuals etc.)
  
• + Vast amount of musical genres
  
• + Leaderboard for each individual song and overall Progress

• - Unlocking all songs requires the more expensive DLC
  
• - 3D view rarely changes visual style in a way that makes notes harder to see
  
• - Combo meter slightly obscures note view in 3D view

First and foremost, this is one of THE BEST rhythm games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. There is so much to like here!
If you are a fan of games such as Muse Dash, DJMAX etc. you basically owe it to yourself to try this.

Gameplay & Visuals

MUSYNX features a keysound system, which means notes will only sound, if and when you press them.
Right off the bat this draws you in more, than if the song would just run the same way all the time.
This can be adjusted in volume or fully turned off, in case it's not your thing.

Combine this with with the visual style of the game (especially in 3D view) where a lot of the times the background will quickly change in accordance to a beat, sequence or the general theme of the song, and you have the recipe for one of the most satisfying ways to experience each note.
There are also multiple overall layout styles, matching the current song genre. More on the music selection later.
If the 3D view is not for you, there is the option to change to the more common and well known 2D style.

Difficulty

There is a 4K (4 fingers) and a 6K (6 fingers) mode. And for every song, there exists an easy 4K, an easy 6K and a hard 4K and a hard 6K version.
Additionally there are 17 different speeds for each song (from 1.0 to 1.5.... up to 9.0).

A criticism that I have seen pop up in a lot of reviews is that the game is too "forgiving" or "easy" which is just plain wrong.
This game is not "easy". It is beginnerfriendly in the sense, that yes, you have a lot of time to hit the key for a note.
However, not only are there several different grades of hitting a note ("Miss", "Right", "Great", (blue)" Exact" and (cyan) "Exact" - but two (cyan) exacts will not necessarily give you the same score, as the absolut score of each note, is determined by how close, in milliseconds, you are to the actual beat.

So if you are within 45 ms of the actual beat you will get a (cyan) exact with a base score of 105% adding to your sync rate, however, this becomes more, until up to 115% per note, the closer you are to 0 ms of the beat.
Imagine this for every note, of which there are 1500+ on harder songs and you can see why scores on the leaderboard are basically never the same.

So for beginners it seems easy because you have a lot of time to hit the key for a note, but if you want to place high on the leaderboard, you have to be really, really precise.
This game is the epitome of "easy to learn, hard to master". There really is a challenge for everyone.

Song Selection

Here's one thing that might deter some folks. This is a chinese ryhthm game. So the songs are mostly rather unknown Chinese, Japanese and Korean tracks (except for "Brain Power" that most probably know).
By no means does this mean they are bad though.
Quite the opposite, the vast majority of songs is actually amazing!

It covers almost all major genres from Pop to House, Metal, Rock, Hardstyle, R'n B, Drum 'n Bass to even classical pieces and what I assume are chinese lullabies and kids songs.

You'd have to be very, very picky, to not find a bunch of songs to like in the full version.

Problems

2D / Classical view
It can be a little hard to tell whether you hit a (blue) or a (cyan) exact in this mode, at least at first. Not that you'll have much time to check in harder songs,
Using this view, the game basically has no problems.

3D View
Now while this view comes with the advantages of generally looking amazing, and providing even more satisfying moments, there are 2 main issues that I do want to highlight.
2 themes have the problem, that the background will change to a white colour, resulting in notes being harder to spot from a distance. So you're effectively losing a few milliseconds of potential reaction time.
You do get used to it for the most part, but it is annoying.

Secondly the combometer is placed in the upper middle of the track, which again, makes it a little harder to spot upcoming notes for the first few milliseconds.
This too, is not an issue on all themes (the meter is positioned the same on all themes, but on most the keys are coloured in a way that still makes them easy to see through) and you get used to it.
But whoever thought it was a good idea to put it there was not thinking straight.

Both of these issues can be avoided using the classical view.

Absolutely amazing rhythm game, for beginners and pro's alike. Worth every penny!

TL;DR:

• + Base game is very cheap...
  
• + ... and still has a decent selection of songs
  
• + Difficulties for every skill-level
  
• + Lots of Characters and pets with unique abilities
  
• + Feels very smooth and fluid (mostly due to the high quality animations) - just generally fun to play
  
• + Triggers well placed in accordance to the Rhythm of each song

• - Unlocking all songs requires the much more expensive DLC
  
• - First few tracks are a little slow and very "weeb-y"

Basically if you're a fan of Rhythm games along the likes of BIT.TRIP presents RUNNER 2 or Neon Drive etc. this is a great addition to your collection.

The base game is really cheap and there is still a pretty good amount of songs to play. Every song has 3 Difficulty levels to choose from, which ensures that there is an option for beginners and veterans alike.

The first few songs where you learn the controls are pretty slow...and very "weeb-y" for lack of a better term. They really weren't for me and honestly i almost stopped playing right then and there.
Thankfully i didnt though, because once you're ready for the more difficult songs, the selection opens up a lot more and there is something for almost every taste.
The animations of every character are fluid and well done. The gameplay in general feels very smooth and satisfying.

The only negative point i can think of, is that to unlock all songs you'll have to buy the DLC. And the DLC is a lot more expensive.
Nevertheless this shouldnt stop you from trying the base game, and if you like it, you can get the DLC. It does add A TON of new songs.

A safe buy for any Ryhthm-game fan and something to consider for people thinking of trying the genre, since you're really not losing a lot of money with the base game, should it not be for you.

Basically a modern day version of Snake with a few tweaks and gimmicks here and there.
Good for a 1-2 hours of actual fun.
Considering the very low price I'd say it's worth a buy especially on a sale.
Beware though, if you want to get all achievements, you're actually gonna have to put in quite a bit of time. They're easy, but grindy.
