✦ AI summary

ZeroRanger is a masterfully designed shoot-em-up that converts genre skeptics through exceptional level design, visuals, music, and narrative, though it demands considerable skill and features a controversial final decision that some find thematically fitting despite being mechanically contentious. Players consistently praise it as a genre-defining experience that respects the shoot-em-up medium, with most feeling the challenge and design are worth experiencing despite the demanding difficulty required for the true ending.

An extremely interesting contribution to the genre. ZeroRanger combines excellent production (visuals, sound design, music) with a novel story and meta-progression while still offering plenty of challenge. It's also challenging while still remaining accessible for mortal humans, such as myself. (I quite like the genre but I have very few 1CCs to my name). Best to go in blind, by the way.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

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.
