One of the best Jackbox experiences in my book. Squares and Speed are amazingly fun.

If you can catch this on sale, absolutely go for it. Very expressive and easy to learn "by feel", and it makes for an accessible introduction into the KOF series.

ok i know my steam time is low but i've beaten this game like three times before getting it on steam and it's the best. once you have a familiarity with how the game works and is laid out playing it is like putting on the comfiest and warmest sweater imaginable

Though gameplay-wise it's not much to write home about as it's just reskinned Quake, there's a very abrasive aesthetic to Brazilian Drug Dealer 3 that makes it intriguing to the eye-- recommended if you enjoyed Cruelty Squad.

I'm only most of the way through the first game (got Part One at 90% off) but I can say right now that this is probably everything I ever wanted out of a stealth game. It's appropriately challenging if you're playing on Master difficulty and it takes everything that was great about Blood Money while adding in new modern features that perfectly synergize with the old formula.

Recommended for the overlap of FPS players and Danmaku players.

An excellent evolution of the previous games, If the whole "dating sim" aspect of the previous games turned you off, then this installment might be a good entry point because romances are entirely optional and are treated as more of a side bonus than the main objective, unlike before. What's more, the quasi-competitive nature of the other games takes on a new form here because, thanks to the MVP system and the challenge objectives, the game gives each player their own agenda and a reason to sabotage the other players, with the caveat that a total game over for one player is game over for everyone-- resulting in a unique combination of PvP and co-op.
The game's writing is as charming and funny as ever, and thanks to the new stat system, you're given more freedom to pick whatever choices you think are the funniest and most interesting, rather than gambling on which one fits your current stats better the way you would in the first two games.

This is a really fun game, but buyers beware: It heavily relies on you having fun people to play with. If you can gather up a bunch of buddies, then everyone squawking over each other in the proximity chat can be really funny when the monsters start showing up and people start asking "what happened to Guy B?". However, if you don't have friends to play with, then your mileage will vary even more if you choose to play with strangers (I don't). Currently the game is somewhat small content-wise (doesn't take long to see all the rooms and hallways that can randomly appear), but the core concept is great and it seems like a great platform for adding more stuff onto in the coming updates.

Positive first impression having completed the heist in stealth! I really appreciate how they continued on from Midland Ranch's design choice of letting you do either objective in whatever order you prefer, although an annoyance is that on your first go it's not really obvious what objectives you have remaining, which might make you do a panic ECM rush too early. Still, I love the visual design of the map, and I really appreciate how the mission is designed so that you can delegate your partners in coop to do another objective while you're busy with your own, which could make for good speedrunning in loud and very interesting coordination in stealth, which is otherwise more frustrating in multiplayer on maps that just give you one objective to work on. I also appreciated the little touches of being able to collect paintings for extra loot and finding a pickable safe in one of the offices- boy, you'd never expect to see those in DW+, would you?
Bottom line, while I can't say whether this DLC is worth getting on its own, I do recommend the Hostile Takeover Bundle overall, it's not mindblowing but it is well put together enough that I don't regret my purchase.

A bizarre concept on paper, but executed shockingly well! Excellently encourages playing as quickly as possible by making it possible to deduct points from other players who haven't gained points yet by clearing your top-left deck way before the other players can. Play with some friends and you are guaranteed a thrilling and reflex-testing (and mentally taxing) experience. Setting up a game takes literally a second, and it's a mere 200mb download, so any friend can join in almost instantaneously!
