Adios

Probably the best "gacha" game out there. Despite being a gacha, it is extremely forgiving and does not require copies of any unit for them to be good. It has a soft pity of 60, hard pity of 70, with one 50/50 (if you fail the 50/50 then the next 6* unit is guaranteed to be the banner unit). Most banners share pity, unless stated otherwise (usually limited characters and special kind of banner do not share pity).

Story and art focused game with a gacha element is what I'd call it. It does not have weapon gachas, it does not have RNG character enhancements, and the daily routine for an endgame player is no more than 4 minutes.

The story is intriguing and immersing, the art is pleasing and the soundtracks are usually bangers. The gameplay is the only point where it's significantly more of a hit or miss than any other aspect. For me it was a hit, as I don't play gachas on PC often but rely on my phone for that, therefore any 3D game is immediately a pass. This game is 2D and involves skills being portrayed as usable cards, which to me was both convenient and enjoyable from the very beginning.

The game has little fan-service with the the option to acquire other skins when they're available in the shop. They are purely cosmetic. Surprisingly, despite being not significantly difficult even at the endgame, the game provides a lot of freebies in terms of resources, pulls and even skins sometimes.

If you're looking for little fanservice and story focused game and enjoy the gameplay, I can recommend this game.

The game is addicting. But;
A lot of features are lacking or are implemented in an inconvenient manner.

Inconvenient:
- Order limit of 9.
- Checkout doesn't automatically close when you or your employees leave it (gets some customers stuck in there until closed).
- No notification whatsoever when employees change shifts.
- Employees target random shelves rather than target the least full or empty ones first.
- Customers claiming "i'll use my credit card", then paying with cash. Punch their head in.

Lacking features:
- Employees are not unloading trucks. Would've been nice if all employees that are not currently in checkout duty helped in or unloaded the truck on their own accord.
- Employees do not help with loading storage shelves. (they do not pickup boxes on the floor).

Perhaps some more I can't remember right now.
Overall it's not bad, it's pretty relaxing even though everything happens fast. I would love to see what the future updates bring us both in content and hopefully in QoL.

Incredible. Simple, but strong. A perfect example where good writing and story telling can transform a simple design into a memorable piece of art.

The only negative things I can think of are the jump sections that felt weird and perhaps the slow movement speed in certain explorable sections. The addition of first person caught me off guard and was a pleasant addition.

9/10

Killed some galactic overlords and stole their balls to transform into an ultragalactic starship.

If I'm ever asked what is the most unique puzzle game I've ever played, this would be my nominee.
While the puzzles themselves aren't particularly difficult, just the surreal environment you are part of made the experience so much more entertaining, and the puzzles so much more interesting to solve.
This game was an incredible experience.

A short game about perspective. The idea was implemented well with the gameplay.

While it's a good puzzle game, it packs an interesting story behind the world. I was looking forward to reading more lore.

The puzzle aspect itself, while not too impressive, was enjoyable. Nothing truly overcomplicated. Only during a couple puzzles did I really feel like I was thinking, but not once did I feel truly stuck. I did not try to go for achievements so I only solved C's grey puzzles (puzzles you unlock with stars, usually tricky or annoying to get), and while they felt a little more demanding, it wasn't a real 'spike' in difficulty. I would recommend it as a puzzle game, but I wouldn't call it difficult.

As for the story, I believe getting to experience it firsthand like myself would be the most enjoyable way to tackle this game. I've never been interested in philosophy, and yet I've found myself immersed and strived to know more.

Inconsistent. Buggy. Annoying. Boring.

These were my thoughts throughout the game. Hold A or D, sometimes W or S to climb a ladder or maneuver on a fish, and use space to interact, these are all the controls. Game would often send you into a scene without explaining what you're supposed to do, for instance at the very beginning you are supposed to dodge a sliding container. It wasn't explained prior that you need to press space, and it wasn't explained prior that you can hide in the background scenery. If you die, sometimes you would respawn into a scene and despite doing everything correctly you would still fail and die again because the game decided to release the monster sooner than your cutscene ended. Interacting too fast with an object often canceled my interaction with it causing another unnecessary death. Situations where you needed to hide and maneuver, evading patrolling monsters in the background often included an annoying teleportation of the monster right to the gap where you are supposed to pass.

While the art was nice, the decision to create a powerpoint presentation for the movement and some scenes was not to my liking. I thought my game was lagging when I experienced it at first. Audio would also often cut, and/or have annoying pops.

If you're searching for a LIMBO, INSIDE or perhaps Little Nightmares experience from a game, this is not one of them.

A spit to the face is what this game is.

>Plethora of bugs and missing basic quality of life features that payday 2 had, despite having a bunch of beta tests and beta testers, not to mention 10 year long data from the previous title.
>Trash servers. There is no excuse like "we couldn't foresee the influx of players", for the simple reason that they have all the data about how many players bought the game. Which moves to the next point:
>ONLINE only. This is not the same as requiring an internet connection to play, because in that case it would've been not so bad. You are entirely dependant on the status of their servers in a game the prequel of has been singleplayer and p2p that worked wonders for 10 years. This is not an mmo. You have to go into a matchmaking queue to start a singleplayer session. If their servers experience an outage or crash, your game will be affected. You can lag in your own singleplayer session. You can disconnect due to their server's error in a singleplayer session.

This is not a singleplayer game.

This is not a sequel to PAYDAY 2.

This is not PAYDAY 3.
