✦ AI summary

Crab Cakes Rescue is a punishing puzzle platformer with a decent concept and level design, but players criticize its repetitive visuals, grating music, and poor hitbox detection that makes difficulty feel unfairly frustrating. The game suffers from serious technical issues including a broken item system and inaccessible final chapters that require hacking game files to complete, leading players to view it as rushed and incomplete. Players do not recommend purchasing this game.

Crab Cakes starts out as just an alright punishing puzzle platformer. It has a great concept and the level challenges are decent even if you ignore the fact that every level looks the same, has the same obnoxious music, or has awful hitboxes that makes the difficulty annoyingly frustrating most of the time. But the fact that the last two chapters of the game cannot be unlocked unless you hack the game files is unacceptable. Add that with a broken item system implemented in the dumbest way possible, the game is begging you to hack the files and cheat. And since you have to hack the game anyway to complete it... Well, bottom line is this games final chapters feel as if they were rushed in development and no fore thought was put into them at all. Bottom line is you have to hack the game to complete it. Hacking it is going to allow you to cheat and cheating is the only way that makes the stupid item system feel halfway useful. This game is broken and poorly designed and a player won't see the brunt of that until they get to the final chapters and finds out just how much hot garbage this game truly is.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

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.
