A creature-collector with quite a few twists. I truly open world, multiple companions to choose from, online multiplayer, a unique battle system, and a very compelling story. The art design is great and the soundtrack is peak.

Athenian Rhapsody is a game made by a single developer, and despite this it's one of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing. It's funny, emotional, and challenging. Especially the ending that I got, it really hit me in the feels. I can't go into details because of spoilers, but it was very impactful.

Sometimes the humor is hit or miss, but I found most of it funny. Sometimes the combat is hit or miss with it's difficulty/hitboxes, but every victory felt satisfying nonetheless. Where the game truly shines though, is in the passion you can feel the developer has for the game. There's a ridiculous amount of detail put into this game. Lots of little and big secrets to find around.

One particularly cool thing is you can order your Rhapsody to be sent to you in physical form along with a personalized note from the developer about your Rhapsody. I've never seen something quite like that offered before.

All in all, I highly recommend it. And if you're not sure if it;s your type of game, Thunder Goober's personality dungeon is available to try for free as a "demo"! It's a prequel to the full game, and completing it gives you a code to use in the full game to earn rewards based off of your choices.

A very fun game to play with friends, and to make new ones.

It's good.

A short but great game that was fun start to finish. The achievements aren't too hard to get either.

It's a fun game that takes some learning but can be very enjoyable so long as you don't take it too seriously. Even better with friends.

It can take some time getting used to the unique systems, but it's a ton of fun with friends.

Much like the original, this seems to be a quick cash-grab. The actual gameplay is buggy, unbalanced, and unresponsive. But of course, they have a fully implemented cash-shop and battlepass. As an asymmetrical horror game it's one of the worst I've played, and I don't recommend it.

It's West of Loathing but bigger and better. The humor's fun and witty, the gameplay's enjoyable, and the story is compelling.

It's just another Rust-like. If you enjoy the gameplay loop of spawning in with nothing, making a base and gathering resources for hours, having it be easily destroyed by someone significantly stronger than you, losing all your progress, repeat, then you'll enjoy this game. Otherwise I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
