✦ AI summary

JoY is a short horror game built around stressful minigames designed to make you fail and feel pressure, with nice artwork and occasional jump scares that divides players significantly. Some find the intentional difficulty and horror-minigame hybrid engaging and worthwhile, while others find it confusing, clunky, and underwhelming with not enough substance for the experience. Players suggest picking it up on sale if you enjoy horror with minigame mechanics, though it's too brief and niche for universal appeal.

Not my type of game but the theme and vibe are pretty cool. mini games give you that itchy brain feeling of pressure where you are so close to completing stuff but fail and want to try again. Not a bad game but not an easy one you can play casually. your set up to fail and even though i lost all the mini games i survived the end game by luck.

This Game took me on a TRIP! Rage like horror game BUT it seems like its mixed with a couple of mini games that resemble like other short horror games iv played in the past. If you like mini games and horror you defiantly need to check this one out. I wouldn't get to mad at the game because it is deigned to stress you out with being a horror game. Over all I would give this a 10 out of 10 in my book. WELL Worth the price!

It's full of a bunch of minigames that I don't like, a bit of jump scares, and nice artwork. It's a very short experience though. It ends with a bit of Russian roulette of sorts, and things might work out nicely for you. Or they won't. Guess it's hard to tell. In any case, if you buy it on sale I figure it's an alright purchase. But there's just not a lot going on here for me to say it's for everyone. Basically if you like anything with a touch of horror you'll probably enjoy it.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
