I really wanted to enjoy Zombie Army Trilogy in co-op, but it is literally unplayable now. Every time I start a level, the screen goes black, and the game completely locks up. ALT+F4 does nothing, and when I bring up Task Manager, the mouse cursor doesn’t appear, making it impossible to close the game without forcing a full restart.

I wanted to recommend it to my friend so we could play co-op because it was on sale. I should have known that 90% off was too good to be true. From what the gameplay looks like on YouTube, it seems fun… Would be great if I could actually play it. Until the developers fix this, I can’t recommend it.

The games included in this remaster are great. You get the base games and all DLCs in one package (excluding pinnacle station). BUT what is the most important thing in a game? TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IT!!! Why a single player game need a mandatory login??? The EA app is mandatory and at some periods of time the signing in just doesn't work. Meaning you are locked out of the game you bought. This is just another anti-consumer practice by EA.
Why not just put the online elements in ME3 under a login only? Or make it peer to peer instead?

Inscryption is a roguelike card game with puzzles, and the special touch Daniel Mullins to story telling and breaking the 4th wall. What makes it stand out is how it keeps evolving, from just a card game, but as you progress, it transforms into something entirely different (no spoilers).
For replayability, the Kaycee's Challenge mode gives you an extra layer of difficulty after you finish the main game to test your skills. Overall, it’s a good and fun game - go play it.

This is one of those games that keeps you coming back for more (like a Stockholm syndrome). Every run is randomly generated, so you never know what you’re in for. Sometimes you get amazing item combos that make you feel invincible, and other times, might as well restart the run. Progress comes from unlocking new items, characters, and challenges, so even when you don’t finish a run, it still feels like you’re getting somewhere. It’s tough, sometime not even fair, but when everything clicks it is super satisfying.
So, yeah! Enjoying The Binding of Isaac can definitely feel like Stockholm syndrome. The game is brutal, unforgiving, and sometimes downright unfair, but somehow, you keep coming back for more and more. It beats you down with bad RNG, but finally getting that perfect item combo or or unlocking another milestone is what keeps you hooked. You will suffer, you will rage, but you will love it anyway.

If you liked Limbo, you’ll love Little Nightmares. You play as a tiny character trying to escape a creepy, grotesque world filled with giant unsettling enemies. The gameplay focuses on sneaking and solving physics-based puzzles. It’s short— With the DLCs, it's about 5-6 hours if you are not going for achievement hunting — but it's the perfect length for an intense and fun experience.

It is a very enjoyable Diablo 2 clone. While it may be a bit basic in comparison to its inspiration, it still a solid ARPG with a nice visual style and a difficulty level that's not to challenging. It's perfect for players who are looking for a more relaxed experience.

This game is so confusing...I just don’t understand this. There is no story mode, you select flashback missions where you play a bare bones version of the events happened in the anime.
The combat is boring, you do the basic same attacks and some big super attack...that’s it...it feels very basic.
I really tried to get it, but unfortunately I can't figure out how the game works and I gave up, it's just not fun.

The game requiring too many pixel perfect precision jumps. It's not a fun game.

Looks nice but it's really boring. Gameplay is very liner and too simplistic, tidies dungeons and every screen feels empty and lifeless. Also the game lacks a map which makes finding something very tidies.

The new player experience is horrible. Let me describe it for you to understand:
You see the main menu and want to learn the basics of the game so you go into what looks like the tutorial and instead you are dropped into a sandbox environment without a clue what to do and some prompts from time to time appearing to give you some info about keys you can use...so nothing useful that you couldn’t do with the key binding menu.
Where do I need to go there? What are those shiny objects? How to pick ammo? OK so it’s not a like the boot camp tutorial you do in American Army (AA and all the games in that series).
In AA for example you learn the movement by an obstacle course or to better shoot at the shooting range or do some night missions. In every tutorial mission there was the voice of your drill Sergeant to give you some sort of feedback so you understand if you improve or not.

OK, let’s look at the field manual, basic info, no real explanation on how to play, mechanics, tips….nothing, pointless.
OK, I guess we try a game then…Let’s try to join, where is the automatic search? I wish I can just the action immediately...None? OK, let’s search manually then… I can see a lot of full or mostly full servers, and now I need to wait to join by pressing the button multiple times…..wasting my time.
Thank god it’s a free weekend or I would be pass my 2 hour limit and couldn’t refund because I don’t enjoy this.

OK, I finally joined a game now. What do I do? where to go? where is my squad? why the map is so big? oh…got killed, respawn, got killed again, respawn and got killed again….
Screw it, I am not wasting my limited time after work or my hard earned money on this. Not only I not having fun, but it so all confusing and I am not wasting time to look for a good YouTube video to finally “get it” or play 200 hours to "Git Gud".

I dont mind when a game complicated or being hard, I played all dark souls games and I bashed my head against high difficulty, but at least I knew what i'm doing and dying there was my fault, but here? I don't even understand what going on.

In summary, no tutorial, no mechanics explanation, mostly running like a headless chicken and getting shot.
In addition, all the maps are too big for their own good and could use smaller scale maps with half of the players.
Also since this is a massive multiplayer, it’s heavily depends on your team is working together and communicating, so if they don’t do that, it adds to the bad experience.
