First thing is first, for god sakes almighty, you do not release a game in 2023 that only supports up to 1080p. The voice acting and sounds in this game are awful and every time you run there is this loud ass thumping noise that hurt my ears. The movement in this game is also funky and wonky. MOST free games are very bad and this is no exception. Most times you get what you pay for.

At that point I was not willing to start the game up again out of fear of it crashing my computer a second time, but I eventually decided to open the game again because I had to give this game some form of a chance. In hindsight, I wish had just quit the game then and there because what I was met with after actually getting the game to work was a combination of broken and janky controls, terribly low quality sound effects, even more AI-Generated voicelines that could barely speak properly, as well as a weird glitch that involved the player constantly getting stuck in the ground because of what I'm assuming was really bad world building. Furthermore, during the attack segments the zombies come at you in huge clumps, which destroys your health almost too quickly, as well as the zombies not dying at 0% health, instead they only die [i]after[/i] they have made their final attack, which is just anno…

The controls are awkward and the wave balance is poor.

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.
