Has fun content, but very limited selection of enemies and encounters. Once you've played through it about 3 times, you've played through it all. The game play loop is entertaining enough that the repetitiveness does not make this game boring, making it a fun game to beat, and occasionally revisit as if the limited encounters are old friends.

Solid roguelike experience, but playing the base game gets a bit boring for me. Despite the fact I was addicted the first few hours, it grew old on me when I realized the enemies and areas were pretty much always the same. Haven't tried add-ons yet though.

pretty alright card game. if you like roguelikes and cardgames this is probably something for you. the progression is really little though and i dont see a point playing it past a couple games

I thought this was a good game overall, but I’ve learned from it that card based action - especially in rogue style games - aren’t really my thing. That having been said, for the price and for what it is, I think this is a really well made game.

I thought the art style was fun, and I honestly did enjoy trying to find weird and unique things to do with the deck possibilities. I beat the base game with each character, and the full ending with one. I did start to dread having to start over again more so than enjoy the challenge so I doubt I’ll go back anytime soon.

If you like deck building games I would recommend this.

It's fine for awhile, but then it gets super repetitive. The upper levels of difficulty don't do it for me.

Super Mario Wonder isn't that impressive when stripped down to its basest elements. It feels like the New Super Mario Bros. sequel we should have received, as it is everything great about those games but paired with an aesthetic styling that's genuinely creative.

It plays incredibly well, with some incredibly well-designed levels and a soundtrack that's just out of this world. An overall great iteration of the Mario formula, but not quite the evolution some have claimed.

The much needed refresh in 2D Mario. Nearly ties Super Mario World as my favorite 2D Mario. 100%ing was challenging and rewarding. I look forward to future replays. So much charm all throughout.

easily the best dark pictures so far in the series, so excited to start the new one as each entry has surpassed its predecessor. the character development has gotten better with each game. i really ended up loving this set of characters.

This is definitely my favorite Dark Pictures game so far, and may be my favorite Super Massive game since Until Dawn. This game is much more action packed than the previous games and the breakneck pace really benefits it. I felt like this game had much more variation in the choices and consequences than the previous Dark Pictures games. The characters are all great and memorable and while the plot goes to some pretty absurd places, I found the plot twist to be really cool and unique.

The Dark Pictures Anthology has been a really fun movie night game franchise for me and some close friends since they first came out. We've been chasing the high of a playthrough of Until Dawn we all watched many years ago, but the Dark Pictures games haven't lived up...until now. House of Ashes seems to perfectly capture character interactions, clear themes, surprising twists, and real threats throughout that make the game so tense.

While still the same loop of quick time events, choice making and clue finding, this game works really well as it always feels like you're on the verge of discovery right before the reveal. More than the previous games, Man of Medan and Little Hope, House of Ashes has me seriously contemplating a second playthrough to see how I can correct the wrongs of my first one. This game would likely not have been as much fun on my own, but having played it in a group made for a really good time. As a game night with a group of IRL friends, I honestly couldn't recommend it more.
