Disclaimer: This is a campaign review.

Story-wise, the campaign is great and took me around 4 hours to complete. The soundtrack is good, and the two main characters (you; Jack Cooper, and BT) are well written. My only gripe with the story is that the main antagonist(s) are barely touched on so you"re left somewhat guessing their motives. That said, the story is great as it focuses on developing the main characters and does a good job hitting several climaxes and eventually resolving into a satisfying ending.

The movement in this game is amazing. It"s like Black Ops 3 on steroids, and is the reason I want to continue on to multiplayer. Wall running, double jumping, and sliding all flow very well and are simple to learn. If you love creative, fast-paced parkour and shooters then this game is for you.

If you love creative level design you"ll like this game as well. It"s definitely no Half-Life, but the creativity and ways certain levels unfold is very well done. There were several "eureka" moments where I figured out how some story motive/event was playing into the game"s level design. Side note: It"s hard to get lost and not even close to open world, but this game wouldn"t benefit from it anyways.

Another disclaimer: I got this game on sale for $10. If you"ll play the multiplayer and story it"s definitely worth the full price ($30 as of writing), but if you only want story it depends what you"re looking for. Of this genre (parkour-ish shooters) it"s definitely one of if not the best.

They completely changed the game, for the worse. They removed most deduction, and now it"s a poorly executed Among Us / Dead by Daylight crossover.

I have so much to say about this game, but I"ll keep it simple:
Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania made by Team Cherry. It"s music, graphics, and gameplay are all perfectly polished and it takes 30-35 hours to complete one of the multiple endings. My only gripe is with how easy it is to get lost in Hollow Knight"s vast world. I love the exploration aspect, but even still, Google was (unfortunately) open on my second monitor a lot. Maybe I"m not "hardcore" enough, but it"s something to keep in mind. That said, it"s worth the immersion this open world game gives you.
I"m not into Metroidvanias, but Hollow Knight has sparked my interest and probably spoiled my expectations for the genre. Good work Team Cherry!

The story is amazing. Partnered with some unique graphic design, this makes for an amazing game.

I"ve never, ever played a game that made me feel so attached to a charecter with no dialogue. It"s a lonely feeling that"s so haunting yet makes you wonder about so many things in this world. I never wanted to take a break while playing it. They somehow made a 3-4 hour game the best story(ish) game I"ve ever played. Inside"s graphics are so simple but beatiful, the sound design perfectly matching it. I never thought I"d say $20 was worth a 3 hour game, but Playdead proved me wrong.

Rocket League is car soccer. Pretty much sums it up, but the possibilities in this game are endless. This game is more like a sport than any of that EA trash like Fifa or Maden. In this game you can move anyway possible, and do anything that you can dream of. Want to fall off a ceiling and hit the ball into the oponents net? You can do it. I will play this game for the rest of my life, and I continure to strive to be better at it. Wether you"re competetive or casual, have lots of time to play or almost none at all, this game is amazing.
