An amazing sequel to an amazing first game.
Portal 2 is not only fun, but is diverse with it's different approach to puzzles, and driven story.

I would never not recommend this.

A very fun and unique puzzle game. You've surely heard of it before.
Absolutely recommend this, there is no way I cannot.

This game is one of my favourites, especially to play with your friends.
Reasons why?

Pros:
Has lots of tension.
A fair system.
Easy to learn mechanics.
Puts you on edge (the good kind of way).
A diverse range of perks, equipment, killers and survivors.
Your abilities in communication and survival will be strained.
Constant updates to keep the game fresh.
All around terrifying if you're not careful.

Some cons:
Camping killers.
People disconnect because they're scared even though they... bought a horror survival game (This is rare to be fair)?

That's basically it. I recommend this game to anyone who wishes to feel the horror of being alone, and having the situation fall upon yourself. It's life, or death.

The game can be good fun sometimes...however, coming over to CS2 from CS:GO, the most notable difference is that matchmaking seems to be busted (as in, you're playing against "silvers" who should really be placed in games well above in terms of rank and general skill, as well as the anti-cheat just not doing what it's supposed to do. Quite disappointing and I hope these problems are tackled soon.

This game has very good potential. I haven't played much of it admittedly, but from what I have seen:

It has a very appealing style.
It has very easy to learn mechanics.
It has three different classes to choose from, should you wish to approach the game in a different style.
Very balanced game.
Very nice voice acting.

Definitely worth the purchase. Recommended to any dungeon crawler fans.

It's alright, but not something to warrant a lot of playtime.

Terraria remains one of my most favourite games ever.

The game is an incredible adventure, it gives you the feeling of discovery, it's your world and you have complete control over what you do. Each moment feels like a breath of fresh air as you wander the world and discover new things about it.

The music in this game is genuinely amazing. It merges chiptune and orchestral elements together and ultimately, it just works so incredibly well. The OST is very versatile as well. You can either be listening to something calm and relaxing, ominous and mysterious, or chaotic and hair raising.

The graphics are very solid. The shading and the overall look and feel to Terraria is an experience like no other. Whenever I look at Terraria, I just feel...happy, you know?

The NPCs in this game are also lovely. I enjoy building neat little towns for everyone to live in and be happy, Terraria is just that kind of game. Rest assured, that it doesn't entirely have to be about killing huge bosses and conquering enemies. If you really wanted to, you can just live life peacefully with NPCs and expand on your world. It's entirely up to you, and what you choose to do with the creativity that's been handed to you.

To summarise, Terraria is one of the best games to ever exist. If you need to look at anything, the thing that says "Overwhelmingly Positive" near the overall reviews is a good place to start. There is a reason this game is widely loved by people, give it a go yourself and see why.

Years ago, I reviewed this game and gave it a positive rating, but years down the line, with minimal changes to the game and overall not a whole lot of difference from its original early access build I felt like I needed to edit my response.

tl;dr: Bigfoot OP pls nerf

The game CAN be scary sometimes, and I understand that it's being developed by a very small team. To give them credit, they've done solid work for the game. With this review I'm not trying to be toxic or downplay the dev's work, this is just how I see things. I'm also aware of my exceedingly large hours, but that's due to everything I'm talking about below.

Bigfoot is extremely scarce. I understand he's an elusive creature, but when your encounters with him are so minimalistic it's just very time consuming and frustrating. Furthermore, his health bar is huge and he hits like a truck. You can have about two encounters with him before needing to heal. The healing system is incredibly unbalanced as well, as there aren't many health packs around the map and even if you can find one, you need to find a notable location such as a cave or a tower, let me tell you, there aren't many. If you have four players, then your health is basically gonna be teetering between half and semi-full until you just can't heal anymore. It also doesn't help that you can encounter wolves and bears which can cut your health down even more.

The map is huge, which only aids Bigfoot's elusiveness and lack of items for the player. You can shoot him with a tracking dart, but that only lasts for so long and ultimately feels like a wild goose chase rather than a tactical "track him down" sort of thing.

I'm not sure if this is still the same as it used to be, but I'll include it in here anyways, take it with a grain of salt. To actually trigger Bigfoot's aggression, you've gotta set a trap and bait it, he will only start attacking you if he has stepped in the trap, which can sometimes take a while and can be incredibly frustrating. Not to mention your bait is limited unless you kill wild animals, and from what I remember Bigfoot can actually break your traps rendering them useless. The traps are a major part in taking Bigfoot's health down but honestly they do such little damage to him in the long run that you'll still be playing for a long time with little no events occurring.

The movement is extremely... static, if that makes sense? It doesn't feel fluent or natural. For the grand scale of the map it feels incredible tedious as well. This is probably a game that you'll enjoy if you're in for a good scare for an hour or two, but if you're here to complete it then you've gotta dedicate some serious hours into it. You can save progress which is a very good feature.

For what it's worth, they've nailed the atmosphere of hunting down Bigfoot and the scenery really is beautiful. There are definitely pros to this game that I haven't mentioned.

However, despite the few highlights that I HAVE mentioned, in my opinion it simply cannot disregard the numerous amount of cons this game has, which is why It's just not something that I can recommend under the current circumstances.

In conclusion, the game is an extremely time consuming experience that really doesn't feel worth it. You'd think killing Bigfoot would give you a sense of pleasure and accomplishment, but all it really does is make you glad that it's over. The game has been in early access for a long time and I can't see it picking up speed any time soon.

I think one of the main problems is that the expectation for the game skyrocketed after various YouTubers made videos on it, which of course is only going to breed popularity and excitement around it. That's an overwhelming amount of pressure for a few indie devs to live up to, especially since so much was expected out of this game. I hope the devs continue to work on games and I wish them luck for the future, there is a lot of potential here but I feel like this game has just fallen short of any conceivable thought of giving it a positive rating.

The price seems to have gone down a fair bit, which is good because it used to be extremely overpriced.

It's fun for about half an hour before it just gets extremely boring.

It may seem like a run and gun game, however, this game really stands out. If not just one of, then perhaps it's THE most tactical FPS I have ever seen. Unlike other shooters such as CS:GO and CoD you learn that you need to have a strategy and quick thinking, you begin to learn that carefully clearing rooms one by one is the most effiencient way of survival, I recommend RSS to anyone who wants to engage in heart racing clutches and to whoever wants to have a good time.
