I will always call it Bloodborne kart

Every single minute, scene and secret is a parody and callback to Bloodborne, done really well. Guaranteed to make a Bloodborne fan smile.

Nothing too special about the kart mechanics, but stands well by its own. It's free, so nuff said I think

Only complaint I have is it can be buggy at times, jump boosters knocking you out of the track, Nicholas (Micholash) literally bumps you into the void, etc.

Korean Spider-man or as they call it in game, Captain Korea


Pros:
- Great story, rare for its genre of action platformer. Short of perfect because of some mistranslation in the dialogues that causes some "huh?" moments. But I am sure it can be improved later on
- One of the most well-made pixel art style that blends incredibly well into gameplay
- Once you get familiar with the controls, the speed is quite addicting. Great fuel for adrenaline rush
- Oh man the music. Goes super well with the flow and state of the game
- Levels can go pretty long in between cutscenes
- Great boss fights
- Amazing background art and atmosphere
- Good characters, although they lean into the tropey side early on

Cons:
- After knowing the whole story, Mari's actions throughout the game are hard to justify to me

- Voice acting could vastly improve the story experience. The emotional moments do not hit as hard without voice acting. Though I understand the reason why there is no voice acting for a retro-styled game to keep the classic vibe.
- You live and die by the grappling hook. Although you get some power-ups to your character and your hook, you literally do not use anything else. Would be nice to have a button to trigger some hacker girl's abilities whenever shes with you for more flexibility and options in gameplay
- The cutscenes may break the pace of the game for some people, especially the "slow walk" scenes. Imagine the pace of the game going from 100 to 10. Thankfully there are long levels in between major cutscenes.
- Very Linear levels, there is zero exploration. I personally prefer some kind of exploration for hidden lore or dialogues, but there is none here
- Camera does not pan fast enough sometimes, leading to deaths
- Muffin needs more presence in the cutscenes. It is only expressive very early on, the other times it is just a vehicle for Mari

TLDR;
8/10. Nothing comes as close as capturing vibe of speeding through a 2D neon cyberpunk world as this game, supplemented by an amazing story. Please buy it if you are looking for what I have described, you won't regret it.

I will be looking forward to the next game from Wonder Potion. If they could learn from some of the shortcomings from this game, I believe the next game has the potential for a masterpiece.

No one should ever apologize that much. Whoever she's apologizing to, just forgive her already.

The less you know before starting this masterpiece, the better the experience.

I will say as a warning that the DLC can be creepier than actual horror games though.

Amazing mod with attention to detail so much so it's like an official rendition of HL:EP3 with the connections of Half-Life to Portal.

Pros:
- Good voice acting
- Innovative AI, making enemy AI with better pathfinding and jumping over platforms and obstacles ( how is Redfall, a 2023 modern AAA game AI worse than a mod? )
- Great story, might as well be canon
- Good companion AI back and forth dialogues
- Innovation in new weapons
- Kick
- Commanding AI squad
- New enemies

Cons:
- Could be perceived as marvel/forspoken-tier dialogue coming from the main character
- Some bugs and glitches
- Easier even on Hard difficulty compared to the first mod (could be considered pros for some)

Overall really well made mod, the only complaint I have is that it is hard to understand how to clear puzzles.

For an April Fools game it's unexpectedly longer than I thought
Comes with pretty good OST too
Bare minimum detective work though
