I'm not very rogue-lite inclined.

This is a notable exception. Brilliant game.

Taking skits, memes, and general casual fun in VC's and pub lobbies to the next level. Easy to set up and use.

A truly well-made game/mod whatever. This Portal fan-made spinoff followed and expanded on the formula that made the first 2 games great to a T. The visual and audio aesthetics worked together seamlessly, and it has one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a game... almost ever. Props to Prism Game Studios Ltd. and Harry Callaghan for their efforts here.

12/10, An absolute masterpiece.

A simple yet fun game, DDR-style. The ability to upload your own music and play to it near-instantly is a huge plus, and the workshop has several very good color and character mods. This is one of my go-to games for a quick chill session.

An outstanding omage to the best collect-a-thon platformers out there (think Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Banjo Kazooie, and the like) and more than worthy of a name of its own in the Hall of Fame among the rest.
Adorable characters, great humor, not to mention the amazing soundtrack (Thank you Pascal Michael Stiefel and the rest, who somehow, despite the absolute ungodly fruit cocktail of musical taste I have, managed to hit every single one of my favorite genres, sometimes within the same song). Atmosphere is everything in this game; from the art style, to the music, to even the the dialogue and character interactions. And of course, I always appreciate the voice acting.
I also enjoy the balance of difficulty, where unlike older games (Sunshine, I'm looking at you), I haven't found myself getting stuck on a difficult level or area for an obscene amount of time. When I've played enough later on, and want to step up the difficulty, there's always the One-Hit Hero Badge to spice things up.

In addition, a tip of the hat to the modding community, I've been seeing a lot of very interesting items, and I'll be sure to check out as many as I can once I 100% the base game (My OCD drives me to completionism).

Long story short, I'd give it a solid
Undefined/42 Awards
With a bonus of
5/5 Contractual Obligations

Edit: Bonus points for a TF2 reference in Nyakuza Metro with the two alternate colors "The Fortress" and "The Battlements". Big preesh. :)

Excellent graphics and soundtrack, and snappy dialogue. Blade Runner aesthetic meets Matrix-style story.

Solid 8.5-9/10

This game is a masterpiece. It carries over the many unique ideas and styles of the original, while almost tripling the content. The humor is on point, though it can be immature at times. Fun to play on your own, or with a group of friends even better. Hundreds of unique options for customization, diverse characters, and hella lot of guns. What else could you ask for?
10/10.

This game is cool. Short, obviously because it's unfinished, but the idea is awesome. Sonar visual is high quality; controls are smooth, even if they're just a tiny bit tricky to get used to; missles cannot be spammed (this is a good thing), and it has potential (combat?). I'd love to see this get fully developed.

As far as the controls go, an option to invert the y-axis would be great. That and adding more for the missles (the mechanic was only used twice) are really the only critiques I have. Great game (or concept, however you guys wanna see it).
