[h1]You will die. A lot.[/h1] Full review: https://www.keengamer.com/articles/reviews/pc-reviews/iota-review-chillin-to-killin-pc/ iota is a game that heeds the call for the challenge enthusiast in many players, employing restrictions that call back to even retro-level difficulty. Whether this appeals to you will be the deciding factor in giving the game a chance, as much else is too bare to provide additional motivation. Difficulty for difficulty's sake, it's a challenge to the world. If not for the pleasant audio/visual presentation, this would be a fantastic game for the hardcore and completely passable to all else. + Visual prominence through simplicity and dreamy colors + Audio is indeed a "bop" + Great challenge for those searching for it - Hinges too much on that challenge, alternatively - Little reward/motivation to face insane difficulty

I remember getting this on my switch during lockdown and playing it every day, and falling asleep to the soundtrack. Got it on steam wondering if it lived up the nostalgia and it's even better than I remembered. It's the perfect mix of infuriating and rewarding with a perfect soundtrack to go alongside it. Couldn't recommend this game enough I don't like platformers much but i LOVE this one

Quick Score: 4/5 Notes: Overall a solid game. A long time ago i initially rage quit and refunded this game, decided to give it another shot, don't entirely regret it. The game is still incredibly rage inducing so be warned. If you have ever played VVVVVV, the gameplay is essentially super gravitron but you have control over your falling speed. The main reason the game is often so infuriating is because the checkpoints are frequently long as ****, paired with the games more often than not "puzzly" level design requiring trial and error, and you have a recipe for pain. But the general gameplay is good, looks decent enough, soundtrack is just remixes of public domain classical music which is fine.

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.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

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.

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.
