GET THE FUCK UP
Exceptional
The original addicting puzzle game, it still pleases to this day. The simplicity of it lets you get started right away, but the hidden depth to mastering putting all the different shapes together to get complete lines will keep you there.

So this game is quite fun. But there's a lot of problems in it.
The controller is suck. Even there's an option to lock its position, it's keep on moving on the screen. Also, it often become unresponsive.
The hero — they call it brawlers — is sluggish. Someone in the Play Store describe it well: Like moving on water or ice. This sluggish movement is perhaps coming from the controller problem. You'll see a lot of unintentional turn or you can't even walk straight.
Another problem is the matchmaking. A classic problem in mobile MOBA game. This one is based on trophy, not based on brawler's power. So you can have your power level 1 against enemy's power level 4 brawler.
Brawlers are also imbalance, some of them have bigger damage while still having longer reach. Some even can stun you (each attack has its effect until they reload) and you won't be able to do anything until you're dead.
Somehow, some of the players just don't pay attention to the goal, brawlers' abilities, situations, etc. It is worsen by the fact that there's no "chat" tool in the game. Like a button for shouting "I'll be the gem carrier" or something like that.
Last one is the lag. Yeah, perhaps it's quite understandable because of server location and internet connection. But if you read those review in the Play Store, a lot of them complain about the lag.

So, yeah. While this game have a lot of potential (many game mode, fast paced battle, good character design, interesting gameplay), the negatives just drag this game down.

Meat Circus sucks
I tried this game before they lunched the Enhanced Edition, and it was good back then. Story telling, fighting everythin in the game was awsome, now with the Enhanced Edition... Everything looks 100000 times prettier.

Really good game, especially for people who like to explore beautiful (if we speak about graphics and design) and interesting locations in games.
If you want to try this game on PC now - install graphic mods that will fix lighting in the game.
wasted my life on here. 
so bad, that even not good, still bad

If someone made a Star Wars mod for Doom, it would look a lot like this. It's not the actual Doom engine of course and there are some advancements (jumping, usable items) but for the most part it plays pretty similarly. The levels aren't as well designed but have some interesting aspects to them like (minor) puzzles and actual objectives. Because it's not a straight run-and-gun experience it's not exactly the same, but if you enjoy the original Doom gameplay and like Star Wars this will provide a refreshing change of pace.
The game is short but really blows your mind with the imaginative and great art style.

I hope it was longer.

Must play, criminally underrated, great OST
Basically a digital version of Pictionary that takes advantage of the Wii U's gamepad. Really fun party to game to supplement things like the Jackbox Party Packs. Unfortunately, as a Wii U eShop exclusive, very few people got a chance to play this one.

An interesting concept marred by repetitive gameplay and awful grammar. The game mostly felt like busywork, being given errands to do in a certain amount of time, so there wasn't much opportunity to play around and try things out. Also, there were at least a few requests that I couldn't understand what they wanted or what I was supposed to do until I stumbled upon the answer. Luckily those are pretty rare, and usually you can piece together what they're trying to say.

Overall if the concept really interests you then give it a try, but keep your expectations low.

Is it good? Nah, it's one of the best games of all time. Easy to play yet impossible to master. Excitement every time you score a goal.

The puzzles are difficult and the idea is interesting, but unskippable cutscenes/dialogue ruin the pacing of the game. Whenever you need to restart a puzzle or try again you have to watch the video and listen to the narrator/characters. You also have slow dragging videos whenever you turn around or go somewhere. These unskippable bits really make the game tedious, so it's only worth sitting through if you really like the puzzles/story.
The original. A bit dated now, but if you're willing to deal with the UI and graphics then the experience is still as great as it ever was.

The region and characters are still a blast so if this is your first time with Hoenn it's worth a play, but for anyone who DID play the originals back in the day there's no need to try this one out.



This generation is the first Pokemon I grew up with, so I was the perfect nostalgia filled audience for this game, but even the 3DS' graphical improvements aren't enough to make this remake feel worth the time. 3D is still framerate ruining and straight-up disabled for more of the game than it's available for. The big new addition is the Area Nav which, despite being much hyped, basically boils down to just an easier way of finding Pokemon with the ability you want. Any other new features are ported straight from X and Y without tweaking, which is a shame because some (like Super Training) had a lot of unrealised potential. 

Other than that several things have also unfortunately been changed for the worse. The much needed changes of pace that were the Game Corner and Safari Zone have been removed (partly due to stricter age ratings on game depictions of "gambling" than when Ruby/Sapphire released), as has the Battle Frontier, but most annoyingly the tradition of Game Freak making each successive game easier, and therefore less interesting, has continued.

You barely need to pay attention to work your way through Hoenn now, as you will (at any point in the game) be about 15-25 levels higher than your opponents and everything will just die to you in one hit. You'll never run out of money or need to use items and tactics only need go as far as spamming your best offensive move until it runs out of PP. The modern features only exaggerate this as the EXP Share now levels your whole team, Wonder Trade can give you super powerful pokemon the second you start the game (I got a Charizard on Route 104) and, bafflingly, entering any online battle fully heals your team - negating the need for ever using healing items. Why worry about ever fainting when you can hop online if your pokemon are low on health and get a free health top up, win or lose.

On top of that healing NPCs and, amazingly, warp NPCs (who put you back where you need to go for story purposes to save any of that off-the-rails exploring) are added around the world in abundance, as if worried that the player might be challenged at some point. Basically all sense of difficulty is self imposed.

Just add different difficulty levels already Nintendo, come on, it's been a concept since before the 1980's for a reason.

To slightly redeem the game the post-game story (known as the Delta Episode) is legitimately great - with build-up, tension and pay-off not normally seen in Pokemon stories. - which makes up for the lack of Battle Frontier for me, although I'm sure it wouldn't for people more into the competitive side of the series.
