CRUEL delivers a satisfying and addictive gameplay loop with solid gunplay mechanics that keeps players coming back for quick sessions or extended runs. The core experience strikes a good balance of challenge and accessibility, though some players wish for additional features like mod support. Players consistently praise the dopamine-inducing action and find it well worth playing, especially as a warm-up or go-to game for repeated playthroughs.

Super fun and addictive gameplay loop. A good balance of challenge without being absurdly difficult to beat, at least the standard runs. Don't think I'll ever be attempting the melee only or one hit death modes, however! Can see myself coming back to this often, even as just a quick warm up before playing other stuff.

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.
