Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

The Happyhills Homicide receives mixed feedback from players, with praise for its engaging story, chill atmosphere, and low system requirements, but criticism centers on repetitive gameplay and tedious level design with frustrating checkpoint systems that force full restarts upon failure. Most players view it as a decent time-killer with solid fundamentals, though the monotonous nature of some sections may wear thin depending on your tolerance for repetition.

A pretty fun game overall. I liked the slasher-movie references and the level design.
Recommended Oct 17, 2026
Some entertaining pixel gore. A little too straightforward to really be a 'puzzle' game, and the ending fight was quite annoying, but it's free and an amusing way to spend an hour.

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.
