Lovely little hidden objects game, with more depth than most.
Well worth playing

Tools Up is a fun little game where you decorate houses for people.
You put up wallpaper, paint walls, lay carpets, lay tiles, knock down or build walls, tidy messes, and all to order within a time limit.

It's good, clean fun suitable for children and adults alike.

But stay away from the expansion.
I finished the campaign missions, and went on to the Garden missions.
Within a few levels, there was a raccoon stealing items and throwing them in the swimming pool surrounding the garden.
No problem, I can cope with that easily.
You know what I cannot cope with?
The raccoon sitting in the ONLY path between the front and back gardens (Both of which require a lot of work) and refusing to move for more than TWO minutes!
And this is on a level with a tight time limit.
And this isn't a one off either.
Every time I have played this level, the raccoon decides to sit in that passage, blocking all attempts at movement.

Absolutely ridiculous!
How this got through testing I do not know, but this has burnt out all interest I have in playing further through this game.

Just stick with the main game, there are critters that cause a little chaos here and there, but nothing as game-breaking as this nonsense!

Wow. How utterly boring and bereft of interest this game is.
I was hoping for something a little more villainous than slaughtering thousands of civilians and cops.
There's no AI whatsoever in the enemies, the civilians just run around randomly, even right towards you.
The hostiles just charge at you firing their weapons, usually through obstacles that you cannot shot through.
There's nothing to play FOR, nothing to aim for, no way of improving or getting new powers.
Just the stuff you get to start with, and off you go until you are bored.

On top of the boring gameplay, some genius decided that, while all hell is breaking loose, you've got all kinds of enemies shooting you from every direction, that they would make the camera constantly zoom in and out from your character, and switching on and off slo-mo every two seconds!
And no, there's nothing to turn off, you just have to suffer that brilliant "idea" that utterly destroys any flow you might actually find in the combat.

Speaking of combat, you have a limit on each power that you have, only able to activate it a certain number of times each "level" you go up (And refreshing your power totals is all that levelling seems to do)
Even melee has a limited number of uses, as do all the powers.
Sure, the game wants you to alternate your powers so that you are not doing the same thing all the time, but forcing it is hardly a great method of varying abilities.

The ONLY good thing I can say is about the work that has been put in to death animations and the reactions of the NPC's to being hit/killed. Those have clearly had a LOT of work put into them, and are well done.
It's not something that could carry ANY game though, and so is the only positive on a sea of negatives.

A dull and boring game with a good idea, but an utterly uninteresting implementation.
Take a pass on this one.

This is a brawler, a fighting game for a group, from 1-4 players.
The menu gives this away the aim of it being a game aimed at groups though, with Couch play being the first option, then online, then story.
There's an Arcade mode, where you have three lives to battle each of the other main characters one after another, like the towers in Mortal Kombat and similar games.
An onslaught mode where you can play as an individual or team against growing strength of CPU players.
Then there are a fair few mayhem modes to play around with, where you can only hurt other monsters with trees or burgers, or the floor is lava (Literally)

The 4 single player campaigns are short, probably around 20 rounds in total, and it's all story-board.
Each campaign is 5 maps long, and as you go through the campaign, they get a little longer on each map.
Still, an hour or two max.
I liked the first 3 campaigns, but then it took a nose dive in the last one, rolling out all the tired old manga tropes and just giving up, losing all the fun that it had flowing.

All in all it's a fun game, and you can extend that by ranking up your monsters.
Each monster rank only gives news skins, artwork and Background music, there are no actual gameplay improvements from it, so it doesn't become unfair like that.

For what it is, it's good, fun and the game AI is quite good.
Each monsters plays a little differently but they are all decent enough, no outright stinkers that I could see after unlocking them all.

If you intend to play this in a group, then go for it, it's worthwhile and fun to play.
But for single player, it is going to be limited, so I'd suggest to wait for a sale, if that is how you intend to play it.
I've been playing it with my young nephew and he's really having a lot of fun learning the monsters and playing around with them, as am I.

This is probably the weakest of the series of "Cats hidden in.."
There seems to have been far less effort put into this picture for a start, it's like a bunch of entirely unconnected scenes all mashed together. There's no prospective in this, buildings at the front of the picture are just as big as ones at the back, and cats, no matter where they are situated, are all the same approximate size.
Overall, disappointed.

TLDR: No. Just no.
The Devs openly hate their customers, constantly attacking them, are only concerned with what THEY themselves want, which means piles of monetisation everywhere and taking away more and more of what their players actually loved about their game.
There are FAR better ARPG's out there, and they don't have £300+ of DLC's and massive amounts more inside the game!
And caution to any who DO buy it, the "Complete Version" is anything but complete, another con they are pulling.

Long Version:
This USED to be a superb game, but the Devs decided that they wanted to entirely remove EVERYTHING that came before and make it into a completely different game.
There's no surprise that the majority of the community is against the game that they have made in the place of the original. It's now like a bad pixel version of the ORIGINAL Diablo, but without the story, fun or challenge.
It's utter trash now.
They've used the font of Diablo, a theme tune in the Town that sounds almost the same as Diablo, the same Inventory system, the same kind of sounding items...
And yet Diablo, a game that is coming close to THIRTY YEARS OLD is still far superior to this one!
Oh, and they have removed the ability to play local co-op, probably hoping to get people who DID use the local co-op to buy more copies.

But I can see why they did it this way, instead of making a new game.
In the old game, the monetisation was only the Devs selling DLC, new skins for characters, with the occasional new character type released.

In this new abomination, there's monetisation EVERYWHERE!!
You open your inventory, pulsing icons begging you to spend money on new backpack tabs.
You look in your Stash, more pulsing Icons, begging for you to buy more stash tabs!
There's a player house, but you have to pay a SUBSCRIPTION FEE to use it!
You create a new character, and there are pages of skins that are locked until you buy them for each character!
And NONE of these DLC's are cheap, even less so when you consider that this is a game you have to BUY!
There are free to play games that are leagues better than this, that don't constantly demand money from you and give you FAR more for LESS of your cash when you do buy anything!
There's £300+ of DLC that you can see on the Steam page, that's the skins and classes (Not sure if that is ALL the skins, there seem to be far more in game).
Then there's the £7 charge for a STASH TAB!!!
That's obscene!
These Devs really DO want money for nothing!

Doing it this way means that they already have a big customer base that has already bought their game, forced into this new rubbish. I'd put money on it that they were hoping that people would just start from scratch (Because they wiped everyone's character roster!) and pay up for all the monetisation that they forced into this low rent Diablo clone.

It hasn't worked though, as people are disgusted by the travesty that the devs have created and most want the original game back, the one they paid for in the first place!
And this WASN'T an Early Access thing, this game had been out for years when the devs decided to completely change everything about it!
I can see why they didn't just make a new game instead, it just would not have sold at all.
But making a new game instead of destroying the old one to make a bad Diablo knock off would have at least been honest!

And the Devs are completely unapologetic about all of this, some of them actually bad mouthing the community for asking reasonable questions and attacking people who dare question them.
They utterly refuse to even contemplate that what they have made here might not be any good, saying instead that they have made what they envisaged, over ANY thoughts of the community that what the game is now is NOTHING like what we all paid for!

This is what these Devs actually think of their customers, the ones who have been buying their game and spending more on DLC's:

My best advice to ANYONE contemplating spending money on this train-wreck is to stop, consider the MANY better games that are out there, with devs that actually appreciate their customers, and walk away from this one.
There's really little point in getting this game, as the devs could again change everything on a whim once more, and you would be stuck with the even worse trash that they will do then!

Go search for ARPG in steam and you will see MANY games that are really good, instead of this rubbish.
And this never even used to be an ARPG, it WAS a roguelite type game before the devs destroyed it!

Yes, it's ok as a basic hidden objects game, but it's FAR too easy.
The music is good, best in the first house, but gets a little less catchy as you go down the street.
The hardest thing about this game is when the hidden objects are feathers, and the house is full of birds!
As a pointer, look AT the birds too, some feathers are actually ON them, which is a bit lame.
