Ridiculous, confusing, and funny. This is a golf game, but it also isn't. It has a lot of references and different things you would never expect coming. It's very goofy and relaxing, and I love it. Even if you are a person who hates golf games, I strongly recommend this. It's just a great time playing this feel-good game all around.

A pretty delightful game. I doubt anyone will play this game as the years go on. But if anyone does find it, and see this review. Then I recommend this game of course, BUT. Only for those who want real challenging experiences with puzzles because this game takes it to the extreme. Don't get me wrong. It's a very well-made game. You can tell there was a lot of love that went into it. The old-timey graphics, it taking place in the 80s, a classic mystery that gets you hooked. The only problem is. It's way too specific with the things you have to do. I was able to get through the first two hours of the game. But after that, I had to look up guides for it. There were some things I know I never would have found for necessary puzzles to progress. As I said, a charming little game, but only if you think you can handle difficult puzzles and put your brain to the test.

The weirdest game I have played in my life. I didn't think anything could top Plug and Play but it did... This game will leave you with many questions and wondering what's going on, but the experience is like no other that I've seen. It relates a lot to Little Nightmares having that gloomy platformer feel to it. The atmosphere in this game is bleak and dark, which made it very unsettling but makes you want to see more of the strange world. It has some puzzles that were pretty straightforward and enjoyable to do. Overall, it definitely kept me engaged the entire time I played. It doesn't have a lot of playtime for the price, but I would undoubtedly recommend it.

Probably one of the best 2D Platformer games I have played. I can't explain how much fun I had playing it. It's truly unique and enthralling in every way. And it deserves so much love and recognition, it really does. I will admit, it's REALLY darn difficult, but it's difficult in a good way. It gives you a sense of determination to want to keep playing no matter how hard it gets. It also has a ton of packed little secrets you can get, which I loved. And of course, something I can't forget to mention: Squid. Who was the best part of this game. I have never seen a villain with so much emotion, and it's kinda funny that he's a robot in that regard. With how many voice lines Squid has in which, respect to Jonas Tyroller for making more than 1000 voice lines in the game because that's crazy. But how Squid comments on almost everything you do? It makes the game have so much emotion, and it really adds to the experience, which makes this game extraordinarily stand out. I could probably write paragraphs and paragraphs about how much I love this game, but I won't, just to keep it short and simple. So what are you waiting for? Just go and play it already!

One of the best platformers I have played in a while. This game is absolutely stunning. It's hard to explain how amazing it is, seriously. It's heavily based on parkour more than anything else, there's a lot of exploring, jumping, climbing, and swinging more than fighting, but it is incredibly enjoyable. It has a lovely and heartfelt story, beautiful planets to explore, and great characters. It had a few twists I did not expect, and this game kept me engaged the whole time I was playing. I always wanted to come back and play more of it, which is what you want to have in a video game.

I have a feeling any Star Wars fan will love this game, it definitely touched my heart, and I adored it. I know I will definitely come back and replay this more because it's such a beautiful game, I highly, highly recommend it.

Pretty enjoyable! Now I've read a lot of the recent/negative reviews, I haven't played Forza Horizon 3, so I can't tell if this DLC is a copy or not. But at least from what I experienced, it was entertaining. Granted, the characters could've acted less childish in this DLC because that got annoying fast. But other than that, this DLC is beautiful nobody can deny that. And by beautiful, I mean the sights. Almost anywhere you are on the map, you can stop and take a breathtaking picture. Daytime, or nighttime, it's absolutely astonishing and pretty gravity-defying looking at the tracks in the background. Continuing on: The map is colorful and pleasing to the eye, and the tracks are exhilarating. Especially when you go down on a drop, or you go super fast with the speed boosters, it gives you an adrenaline rush, even more so if a hyper song is playing. As for other things, the cars in the DLC were on point, and their design was cool. I liked how as you get up in the ranks you get to try out different cars as well. It's pretty steep for the price of a DLC that costs $20. I got the premium edition so I didn't buy it separately. But if you are considering getting it, think about it, watch some gameplay of it, and see if it's something you would enjoy. I, myself recommend it, of course, only if it's on sale.

After coming from Forza Horizon 4, I was, needless to say, very excited about it. I would watch the trailers for this game over and over again, desperately wanting to recreate the great experience I had in the fourth game. And when I eventually first got into the game, I was sad to say I had problems with it. The cutscenes were running at 30 frames a second, maybe worse. I kept having to pause it and make sure it could run, but even with this problem, it kept freezing as well, at least for a solid minute or two. It was very frustrating trying to enjoy the game and its beautiful graphics while the game was running at 40-50 frames per second or 30 in a cutscene as I said. So not the best start, but it happens. As I kept playing, I gradually realized that it was not what it seemed to be. Besides the problems from the start as I mentioned. The game has a lot of bugs that I have run into, not the funny ones, but the annoying ones that stop me from playing the game. Like how my game randomly crashes or things won't load, I run into these problems too often than I should. And another thing I must state is the seasons. The seasons for this game don't feel as special as they do in the fourth game. In the fourth game, the seasons pop out and are way more colorful, vibrant, and beautiful. In the fifth game, it doesn't do that. I hardly notice a difference. The only time it might look nice is in Winter because it's nice to see that effect with snow, especially near the volcano, but it completely misses that feature the previous game did. And the last main thing that bugged me the most. Music is a crucial part of anything, a movie, a game, no matter what it is. The radio in Forza Horizon 5 is not good. The radio stations do not fit with the game at all... There might have been the occasional 2 or 3 songs, but it was not as satisfactory as the other games were. Of course, everything isn't negative. There were some additions I appreciated. Like how the character you choose at the start talks, which adds more emotion. Everyone has a sense of being cheerful, which gives you positive vibes and makes you happy. But these are small things compared to what I mentioned. The game lacks so much. I am saddened to say that, but it does. The game is adequate, and it's not a perfect 10/10. Would I recommend it? Well, only if it's on sale, it's very pricy, and if you rush through it, you can finish it within a month or two if you don't care about seasons. Only buy the Ultimate Edition if you plan to play this game A LOT. Because the base game gives you more than enough content already, including all the seasonal stuff you can do each month.

Colorful and vibrant, unique, good sense of humor, and lots to explore. This game was amusing, I was looking for some kind of exploration game taking place in space, and well, this game sure did deliver! This game reminded me a lot of Spore with similar designs and music. It's fascinating seeing all kinds of wacky and different creatures. It also has a Subnautica aspect to it where you can scan and read things about flora, fauna, technology, etc. My only complaint with this game is that you can finish it too quickly. I'm an achievement hunter and getting all the collectibles plus all the missions took me about 12 hours, which isn't a lot of playtime. I would recommend waiting till it goes on sale to buy it. But other than that it's an enjoyable experience.

The best way I can describe Dark Deception is a horror version of Pac-Man. It's not too scary from your average horror game unless you get frightened easily by jumpscares because Dark Deception has lots of those. Most of the areas in Dark Deception are very short and narrow hallways with lots of turns like a maze, while there might be more than one enemy chasing you. So it can be very terrifying, especially without knowing where your enemies are at all times except for them talking/making noises and hearing footsteps. The only throwback for this game is that it's way too laborious, even on Easy Mode. You do get a moderate amount of lives, and you do get some checkpoints. But for some of the chapters, it feels too extended. As soon as you get done with two stages, and you think you are done with the level, the game throws you into an even harder stage or a boss fight which makes it exceedingly straining. Altogether though, it's a good horror game, you can try out the first chapter for free and play for yourself and see if it's something you can tackle.

A gorgeous game. Astonishing visuals and incredibly fun gameplay. When I saw the trailers for Forza Horizon 4, I could not wait to get the game, it looked so colorful and refreshing. Especially since I have never owned a racing game other than Mariokart, which was a game I grew up with, it was a nice change of pace. Forza Horizon 4 also psychologically benefited me. I was personally scared of driving because of how dangerous, stressful, and unpredictable it can be. And the game helped me overcome a lot of that and made me feel more comfortable with driving in my life. The game also helped me with my stress just because of how relaxing the game is. It takes your mind into a colorful and calming atmosphere where you don't have to worry or think about anything. As for the game itself, it's always entertaining. There are so many activities you can do around the world of Forza Horizon 4 that it's insane, so you'll have lots of playtime in this game, even more, if you include some of the DLCs. I only have 23 hours into this game by the time I'm writing this, and I think it's one of my new favorite games already. I would strongly recommend it, please get it.
