What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game as an enjoyable FPS with beautiful graphics and solid gameplay mechanics, though several report significant performance issues particularly in later levels and the final castle area even on powerful hardware. Common complaints center on optimization problems, occasional frame drops (especially in Unreal Engine), buggy achievements, and a game-breaking bug that prevents completion for some players, with recommendations to check your GPU capabilities before playing.

Achievements were buggy mess and there were occasional frame drops. Stereotypical Unreal Engine problems. Other than that though, I have seen way worse and this was a bug-free (in terms of gameplay) and enjoyable little game imo. I think it is worth a shot if you have a strong GPU. I played with a chinese 3080Ti with bumped up 16 gigs memory and I could get around 100 FPS on 1440p display so I can imagine some people unable to play with sh1tty cards like 1050Ti or so. Know your hardware's capabilities and then play it. I also used DXVK to translate garbage DX11 API calls to Vulkan. That definitely helped out a lot.

Interesting, fun and beautiful but when I enter the castle or whatever that last building should be my frames suffocate even though i have a pretty good PC. I'l give a thumbs up, but that game needs optimisation.

You play as some kind of creature that seems to have been accidentally woken up during a mining operation, so you promptly annihilate everything in your path. The graphics are kind of too good for my computer to render and I'm not a fan of the motion blur that you commonly see in this version of the Unreal engine. Music is a bit over the top, would've preferred if it was more atmospheric. But it's an okay FPS game.

[h1]Before I played Dawn of Light, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

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.
