I rarely give anything the gravitas like this but. This. Is a most-play videogame. Only if, you can forgive the sub-par combat, and get far enough for the story to truly extend its wings, and then you will be enveloped by its grandiose nature.

Unless you might just find it incredibly pretentious.

Anyway. How the hell do you rate this?!

Clunky. That's the best word encapsulating what Crack Down is. With neat ideas, way too ahead of the times sadly. Fuck those moving platforms!

Nice satisfying click clacks when filling in the board. Music is also nice, but loops way too quickly, to the point of me actually kinda loathing it now.

It's missing a pretty essential feature like graying out the numbers at the edges when you're playing. I was stumbling real bad the first couple of hours, but eventually learned to adapt.

The lives system i find is slightly ruining the fun of actually solving the boards, because you can cheat by wasting one whenever you're particularly stuck.

Also this just might be my terribly shaky hands, but the fact that you can't just hold left click, and let it only clear the strait line without swerving elsewhere. Is slightly aggravating.

(Well, end of this overly long rant about picross of all things)

[Edit: Nov 2nd]
I've been informed that there actually IS a feature to "draw" a strait line, but it's of course already too late sadly. But now i know.

Forget the game. But do listen to the soundtrack.

Well ok then, this is an odd case. Nykra is currently as of this reviews date, the 18th of November, still incompletable. To apparently everybody it seems.

So i guess I'll return when this eventually gets patched to a functional state.

A bit premature but i still stand behind this rating. ULTRAKILL has a glorious future seeing forward to.

Blazkowicz deserves a hug, fuckin' jeez!

It was quite fun, but also very much a time waster like almost every other AAA open world games. But yeah, eventually like 15 some such hours into the game, Horizon crashed my ps4 so hard, it killed its own savefile, alongside literally everything else on the system. Requiring a full factory reset. So yeah, never touching this again.

Game is good. But was obviously on a serious deadline to release alongside Riot's other stupidly enormous amount of "Riot X Arcane" content. Game is good. But maybe do wait a couple of months for proper bug and balance fixes, before giving it a shot. The composer is also composer for the Ori games, so yeah.

Clunky, broken, unbalanced, unimaginative, and generally feels unfinished. Also there's a hard line to cross between being inspired and straight up plagiarizing a previous property. And this completely disregarded that line.

The artstyle is cool on the eyes if a little too simple for its subject matter i feel.

The messiest and most bloated mainline entry. With an absolutely poignant and fitting ending to Danganronpa as a whole. Rarely if ever do i feel games get proper endings, usually run out of gas near the end, but this was goddamn perfect.

Old pc games that's still absolute fire. Part 1

It's more of the same, with few new mechanics. Would only recommend if you very much enjoyed the base game.
