Is this game fun? Sure, when it actually works.

Firstly, the lag made the single-player actually unplayable. My internet was fine, but the game would lag so bad that the tyranids would stop moving, moonwalk around or rubber band like crazy. And I fixed that by connecting EGS. Because that makes sense?

Then I had to update the game, which reinstalled the entire game. After which the Easy Anti-Cheat decided that my install wasn't valid. So after taking a couple hours (which was somehow crippling my entire system in the background) to update, I can't even play the game. I'd refund this if I could.

I am a bit of a ♥♥♥♥♥ for match 3 games. I will play them regardless of theme. I have easter themed match 3 games. I have horror themed match 3 games. I have porn themed match 3 games. They help me zone out and are essential to my mental health.

This is probably the worst I have played.

The gravity is wrong. Pieces either don't fall, or don't fall as they should. Some of the missions take aeons to finish due to bad level design. I find myself actively not playing this despite trying to finish all the match 3s I buy.

Don't buy this.

Raise hell, praise Dale. Meet new people. Shoot them. Easily the most fun I've had on Steam in years.

Bird boy go fläp.

Cowabunga it is.

Fun little blockpusher puzzle game involving sheep, satanism, and occasionally taking an ax to an innocent man who was just trying to protect his sheep.

Played one game. Won. Uninstalled.

I am the undisputed king.

I literally cannot say enough about how much I love this game.

The combat is satisfying and varied thanks to six different weapons (with multiple variations of each.)

The art is gorgeous.

The music is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ flawless.

The characters and writing are engaging and keep you wanting to complete run after run just to learn more.

You cannot go wrong with this game.

Good, solid arcade-y gameplay. Great music, great visuals, great times.

Dark Fear is a love letter to Sierra and other games of that timeframe. It's a short but beautiful experience that knows to keep it's price affordable. I'll list off the pros and cons for you.

PROS:
Music is great.
Graphics are amazing. I love the art style to death.
Story is also quite good.

CONS:
The game is very, very short. My 4.3 hours is me beating the game in one sitting. The only con, to me, is just how short it is. It would have been even shorter if you didn't have to grind money using the hunting system. I think if you didn't have to do that, the game might have been around 3 hours instead.

I really, really liked this game. It's worth the $4 I paid. I just hope that there's a sequel coming sometime.
