40$ for a 0$ game. Only buy if you love getting ripped off. Don't get me wrong. I've purchased the game on the PC and it's AMAZING. One of the funniest and most entertaining adventure games I know. Still, I didn't pay anything for it (got it in one of the MANY giveaways), but I would love to see it with 5$ price tag( or 10$, if I'm desperate) 40? That's just preying on naive people, and I have no interest in being a part of that. This game goes around on PC for FREE. On a bad day you can buy it for a few dollars. Pricing it at 40$ is an obvious attempt on getting people buy it at a permanent sale and it's a cash grab. Sorry guys, your game is great, but your marketing practice is vomit-inducing. It almost makes me wish I never purchased any of the products. tl;dr -publisher is greedy; get it on PC, otherwise you're getting ripped off.

A very good game with beautiful locations, nice sense of progression and some challenging parts. Unfortunately, it has rough spots that could use some polishing. The recurring problem with the game is the designers' love for the mechanics that make the game more annoying. Not hard - annoying. One of the examples would be the fixed save point system (bench). You have to use those benches to save the game. They double as a respawn when you die. The problem is, there is not enough of them in the game or they are placed at weird places. Oftentimes when approaching the boss the closest bench is few locations away, usually separated by some enemies or obstacles that result in the loss of life. Another example is death. When you die, you leave a shade behind - which keeps your gold and a part of your soul meter ("mana" used for spells and healing) pool. If you die again, the previous shade is gone (with your gold). Killing a shade restores soul meter. Those two show how approaching a boss can be frustrating. Not only does your journey to the boss takes some time (and if the boss is tough - which some are - it can take multiple tries, meaning wasted time). It also makes every next try more annoying - you either **** it up and play harder version(because you can't collect maximum soul without killing your shade, which is at the boss) or kill the shade, go back to collect soul (this often means going back to the save point), and then approach it again. Again, nothing harder about the game itself. Same with the money mechanic - you can force the mobs to spawn, so earning money is tiresome, not hard. Losing it is another chore. Fortunately, late-game money is not useful anymore so you don't have to worry about that. The levels are beautiful. There are many different zones and they all feel great. Each of them has unique setting or mechanic. Attention to detail is really praiseworthy. Music blends nicely with levels. Every part feels like a well designed piece of a whole. Some of the parts are locked off until you get certain mechanic, so you get to re-visit some of those locations. Talking about game mechanics, these are also well done. You enable "special powers" throughout the game. Every new skill means access to new locations and often helps in combat. This means that progress feels good and natural. Unfortunately, the very same progress can come to halt with no help. As I do not like using any sort of guides, I spent few times "scanning" the entire map - going through all the places - looking for any place where I could go, because I didn't know what to do next. This is a good thing, as I am not spoon-fed the directions, but something as simple as the "to-do list" with multiple things to do could point me in the right direction. The charm system is also good - you can equip different charms(and combinations of thereof) to make certain play styles more powerful. Despite its flaws it's a great game. Not the best out there, some of the rough parts are undeniable, but pretty damn good and definitely a must have for metroidvania fans.

While the Snake Pass is not a bad game, it's not a good game either. It is certainly well-made, but gets boring really fast. I regret buying it because I haven't been playing it too much after the initial release. It' s one of those things that look nice on paper, but when you try them - they aren't really that interesting.

It's quite amazing that they made 8 games in this series, and they just keep getting better and better. The best Mario Kart game with some new mechanics like double bonus, this is definitely one of must-haves on the Nintendo Switch platform. The gameplay is great, the game is not boring and the game fits into the portable mindset really well. With its pure gameplay, this game is a great thing to have.

There are some things that could be improved, but they are more of an inconvenience rather than a real issue. The game itself is great - addicting gameplay, fast and short matches, different weapons, modes and items add the depth and make Splatton 2 one of my favourite games ever. I believe that if someone who wasn't splatoon player likes it this much, then it's must have for splatoon veterans.

Really charming and unique game. The game is very hard (many people say it's unfairly hard). The controls are also hard to learn. The game is simple when it comes to the gameplay. However, it gets deeper and more interesting the more you play it. The more time I spend on this game, the more I like it and the more I want to play it; and I think that defines a good roguelike.

I am sad to give this game an 8. It totally deserves 10. However, the amount of content is not that great, and that's the game greatest weakness. If it had more levels, it would have been a total blast. Right now it's a bit short(why is there no level maker?!) and replayability does not exist(once you've finished the level, you know how to finish it again), but at the same time you can play it with your gamer friend, casual player girlfriend, or a total newbie mom. And they all will have great fun.

The game has a nice graphics and fun, fast-paced gameplay. I enjoyed playing it with friends and alone. At the same time, it bore me quite quickly and although I sometimes go back to it, it didn't hold me for too long - and I am not sure why. If you are into fast-paced driving games though, you can risk it. It's not too expensive and can entertain you for a while.

A great open world RPG, but if you're looking for the story, you will be disappointed. The game packs a punch with great mechanics, nice graphics and a huge open world that is crafted in a way that just makes you want to explore more and more. You will often catch yourself just running around exploring the world, looking around for more korok seeds or shrines, or just spending five minutes climbing that big mountain just to slide down on a shield. This isn't Witcher. It won't make you take tough moral decisions. It won't amaze you with great story. The game is more of a sandbox, which is whatever you make out of it. You can finish the game just after the tutorial. You can try to beat the shrines in the ways creators never imagined. You can defeat enemies in different creative ways. You can collect crickets. You can explore the world. You can fly. You can ride a bear. If you love exploring and if you are creative, this game is made for you.

The humour is a bit dry and the controls could have probably be a tin better, but overall it's a really great strategy game. The amount of actions you can take, classes you can choose and fun you have is really nice. It also lasts for long.
