The visuals and music of this game are top notch. Studio MDHR absolutely NAILED the style they were going for. On the gameplay side Cuphead is a very challenging game, and can be frustrating at times. However, the majority of the encounters are very well designed and I think there's only a few spots that maybe were a bit too hard at times, but I still pushed through. If you are looking for a polished and hard 2D action platforming shootemup game thing then look no further then Cuphead, its one of the best ever made.

This was the first time playing these games for me and these are my thoughts.

DMC1 is really good, as an awesome and fun assortment of weapons with fun abilities and combos to use and good music. The combat is pretty good in this game but since this game was at one point Resident Evil 4, you can still see much of the resident evil DNA left in here like the set camera angles which can really get in the way of combat sometimes and the backtrack puzzle stuff, which isnt a bad thing really but its there.

As for the port of DMC1 there are some graphical issues but honestly its nothing that really completely breaks the experience and if you never played the original it won't stand out too much. The game runs well and still looks nice enough despite that.

For DMC2.... man this game reeks.
I played all the way through both characters on normal because I love torturing myself. This game's combat is honestly a major step down. You pretty much only have 1 combo + your abilities which feels really lame and most of the standard enemies barley even try to attack you, they just stand there most of the time. The bosses are super easy and offers no challenge.

As for the port of DMC2... its also awful. For me, the game refused to EVEN LAUNCH unless if I had it in borderless windowed mode (which on my monitor that fills very little of my screen.) and even then sometimes the audio would completely glitch out and start ear raping, with a crash usually following after. Although after the first few times it stopped happening later in the game.

DMC3 tho... OH...!
This game is very similar to DMC1 but takes it up to 11. On Dante you get a large amount of customization with the "Style System" the styles are pretty much different classes that gives you a different set of attacks and combos. You can also switch between guns and weapons mid combat and combo their combos into each other. Some of the bosses offer a decent amount of challenge without being too frustrating. I did my playthrough of the second character on Hard mode and while it was a step up from normal, still wasn't that bad but was also great fun!

The port of DMC3 is great! Runs well and I've never had it crash or have any obvious bugs!

One thing to note about all 3 games though, is that they are locked to a max of 1080p for resolution and 60fps for framerate. Honestly, even on my 1440p monitor it looked fine in 1080p full screen and 60fps is also more than good enough for this kind of game. But its good to know these things beforehand of course.


So in the end I would recommend this for sure! Maybe skip DMC2 tho... although it sucks I still played it just for the sake of it... but its really not good.

Early Access Review
Before i get into this I want to note that I have not played other Auto Chess games, and I know very little about normal Dota so if you want more of an outsiders PoV here you go.

At first I was confused and thought the game dragged on too long, but the next day I gave it another chance and learned a bit more about how to play. The strategy in this game is actually pretty simple yet fun, each unit has alliances and you can combine multiple units to make stronger ones. Your level that you gain independently each match is how many units can be on your board. When a battle starts all units auto attack.

Loosing a round against a player causes HP loss, everyone starts at 100 and you loose when you get to 0.

This isn't something I'd spend my life on but I think I'd have fun playing it for an hour or two every day or two.

Another thing to note here is that there are no P2W mechanics like Artifact, and no microtransactions at all (like no skins or whatever, though I'd imagine that will change in the future)

Its also crossplay with phones so that's nice.

This game is amazing.

If you haven't played it by this point you should.

The best way is to go in as blind as possible, and just play it how you want.

Trust me :)

A lighthearted VN with cute anime girls who like to read. The art is very well done and the writing is great for waht it is. Don't get thrown off by the "Disturbing for children" message, there are a few lewdish scenes that you tend to see in anime normally, but the localizers took that into consideration when translating the game for the western audiance.

It's an amazing game, especially since it's free. If you enjoy it buy the extras DLC to support the developer, I plan to do so in the future.


This is actually a super horrifying horror game and is not actually light hearted, but it's great because you don't notice it until you get a decent way into it, the writing is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing.

I don't dislike this game, I find it to be really fun from the gameplay side of things, but from a story standpoint I'll have to agree with the many other reviews here. The writing of the main characters are just dull and flat. Dishonored 1 and 2 were both really amazing games but this one is subpar.
I would probably recommend this game if the price were lower, and it's not too bad in the US at $30, but in other regions it's much too expensive.
With that being said I still had a lot of fun exploring the levels and doing the contracts and finding my way through the missions, and I'm going to probably play it through a couple times on different difficulties and on original game+. but this is because I might as well since I bought it.

I bought this game on Nintendo Switch two weeks ago, and I pre-ordered it here on PC as well. This game is awesome, the art and animations are beautiful and the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard. The game includes remixes of levels from the classic Sonic genisis games and new acts based on their themes, as well as some amazing new levels as well. The game had a lot of love put into it, and was mainly created by a group of people who used to make romhacks and fangames. It's also only $20. People are complaining about Denuvo DRM but honestly they are making it a bigger deal than it is. The game runs flawlessly, and it's really fun. Do yourself a favor and play this game.

Yooka-Laylee is a 3D Platforming game that was crowd funded via Kickstarter and developed by a new team formed of ex Rare developers. This game is made as a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie. Honestly though, I had high hopes for this game. What we ended up getting is a game that has great music. and a good looking modern development on an old art style. The level design and overall gameplay itself is where I find the game to fall short. In Banjo-Kazooie the main object of collection were Jiggies, Yooka-Laylee is similar and you collect items called Pagies. A lot of the Pagies in this game are just really boring to get. The levels themselves look nice, but I never thought that any of them were all that fun to play through. I find the first Banjo-Kazooie game to be a way more fun game with a ton of awesome levels, and I felt that game also had the perfect length.

Sure there were moments of enjoyment, but by the time I got 100 pagies I just wanted to get it over with. If you love Banjo-Kazooie, you may enjoy this game. I cannot recommend it at full price however, only pick up this game on sale. It's not good enough to be $40.

(Side note: I DID back this on Kickstarter, and that is one of the factors of my high expectations, another being the developers involved)

(Side side note: I'm not giving up on Playtoic though, I think if they make a sequel they can really make something amazing with all the feedback they were given I just won't be getting it day one next time around.)

Dragonia is a cheap bullet hell game where you play as a dragon girl named Feeny. Feeny is on a mission to purify all the evil dragons in Dragonia. While you are playing the game you collect souls by killing enemies, and you can spend these on new weapons and skills. Each stage has two levels with story in between. This story of this game follows a pretty typical hentai structure and it's nothing special, but has a few good points.

For $1.19 (Or even $2 for that matter) I think this game is worth it. It is a decent bullet hell game to play if you are bored.

After over 400 hours I can't believe I never wrote a review for this game. Fallout 4 is a great experience the first time through, it includes a ton of fun dungeons and really tight combat. The dialogue/role playing part of this game is lacking quite a bit and comes nowhere close to New Vegas, but I think the games better qualities make up for that.

The modding community over at www.nexusmods.com/fallout4 is still very active and make great mods all the time, and this is why I've spent so much time playing this game since release. If you are a newcomer to the series and are looking for a good open world FPS, this is a good choice. it's on sale all the time these days so $20 is worth it 100%. Stay away from the DLC until you finish the main quest though, only buy that if you really enjoy what you play.
