God, I couldn't tell you how many hours I spent playing these games when I was a kid. If you never had the chance to play them, now's the time.

***EDIT***
I'd like to ammend my original negative review[pastebin.com]. Many of the issues that I had described in my first review were due to Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS) and using game capture. Switching to display capture fixed many of my issues: Choppy 2D videos, crashing when changing video settings and crashing in general.

There's only one major complaint that I have for the game and it's the one that everyone else is mentioning (and that SEGA has addressed as of the second day of this game being released): the 30FPS gameplay. Coming from the Xbox 360 version (and having over 100 hours sunken into it) it honestly doesn't bother me THAT much. But since SEGA had advertised this game with uncapped framerate, it does put a hamper on what could be so much better. If you don't want to read their explanation; the block mechanics and physics are tied to the framerate, so this may take some time to fix if they do at all.

The only minor issues I have are that:
The sheep in the beginning is de-synced with the audio.

Pressing X while choosing a save file moved the cursor down until I got to the 12th slot, then it selected it.

It didn't load a cutscene during the ending, but the sound continued.

The UI popups can't decide if they want to go in slow motion or go super quick.

Selecting Japanese audio still has Vincent speak in English when climbing the stages.


Even with these issues, I feel like I can recommend this game now. I hope you all have a wonderful time climbing blocks, pushing sheep, and cheating on your girlfriend.

What's that? Still no Half-Life 3?

I'm actually upset with myself that I had this in my library and I hadn't played it. Furi pushes your memorization and reactions to the limit. Each time you fight one of the bosses you'll get knocked on your ass but each time you'll get closer to knocking them on their ass. This game has in-game stat trackers for your fastest time, hits, and KOs per boss; temping you to get better and better. Personally when I beat the game on the "Furi" difficulty I had a game-time of over SIX HOURS and over 100 KOs and around 2100 hits taken. I'm now down to 3 KOs, around 150 hits and 48 minutes. This game is made for practice and one-upping your friends and yourself.

Remember that broad Rachel from the first Life is Strange? Yeah. She's in this one. And Chloe likes her. And I like her. And I like this game. Please buy it.

Bonus Episode edit: My depression hasn't had this much depression since listening to Bohemian Rhapsody in A# Minor. Thanks, Deck Nine.
