So far pretty bad. It won't let me put my skill points where I want, its saying I don't have enough money to get a item that I have way more than enough for which sends me to buy a building for income, which also this game does a lot where it forces you around the diffrent menus with its cringe dialog. A few days in its still forcing me around menus making me have to go back to do what I was trying to do. Uninstalling.
Not recommended Feb 15, 2026
I don't recommend Downtown Mafia: Gang Wars because the energy is used up quickly after doing a few things, like missions and fighting. In-game currency is also used up quickly since the game functions request you to buy equipment. UNLESS you spend real money. The overall game play is dumb.

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, where one idea carries the whole game

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.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
