✦ AI summary

To The Core is a drilling game that draws strong divided opinions from players. Supporters praise its satisfying, crunchy mechanics and relaxing gameplay loop with good music, finding it worthwhile at a low price point, while critics complain about disorienting camera and drill physics that cause motion sickness, combined with a grindy prestige system, unfinished UI, and lack of ultrawide support. The game appears best suited for players who enjoy short, methodical experiences and can tolerate its technical rough edges.

There might be a good game here somewhere, but my head hurts when I play it. Everytime you hit something hard, your drill goes bouncing all over the place. In the long run it messes with my head. It's not just that your drill bounces, but the planet/asteroid rotates aswell, makeing it very frustrating to play.

This is a half-finished game, the UI is buggy and annoying to use. the prestige system is terrible and clunky, there's a ton of grinding. it's fun at the start but really wears out its welcome.

To The Core was an incredibly chill therapeutic game that I'm put some excellent music to and just blow up worlds. I would suggest this game to anyone and everyone especially for the 7.99 price point. I honestly wish there was even more game to explore after 100% it haha!

It is what it says on the tin. Short, but satisfying. Very crunchy mechanics.

This game is so fun! I genuinely keep coming back to replay the entire game, and as you can see by my hours, this game is a short but fun experience. Really there is only one minor thing and its on my end. The "10 million blocks broken," achievement is so difficult to get (I have yet to get it).

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
