Rep Graywolf 最近的评测

This is a winner. I love this genre, I love this theme, it's a really great entry to the "Survivor" genre and there's some real potential here. I'm watching this one and REALLY looking forward to the full release. Played 2 games in a row, and I'm quite interested.

Life-destroyingly fun.

Good gameplay loop, good garlic-like in game progression, good out of game meta progression, endlessly addicting.

Surprising and came out of nowhere, for me. I found this game thanks to Vinny Vinesauce.
This is a blend of Risk of Rain 2 and Vampire Survivors. There's so much dopamine that comes out of this title, it's nuts. Trying to get a better build than last time and finding the perfect synergy goes far.
You do have to accept the game's sense of humor - it's really meme-y but frankly I don't care. The game provides such excellent gameplay and a pretty good-feeling progression system if not a tad bit on the slow side.
I bought it for me *and* a friend I feel like it was well worth it already.

This game rules. I am biased towards Remedy games, because I love them all. I'm a long time fan of theirs from Alan Wake, to Max Payne 1 and 2, Quantum Break (this is my favorite game of all time. Not even as a Remedy game), then to Control and Alan Wake 2.

If you're reading this, take the negative reviews about the low amounts of content with a grain of salt. I just played this with two friends of mine for the first time and even putting aside my bias (that I am totally aware of), it was a really good 3-player squad based multiplayer survival/extract game that gives some Left 4 Dead, GTFO, and Helldivers-inspired gameplay loops. The point is that you're supposed to play *a lot* to upgrade your abilities and gear.

Right now there are only 5 stages but I'm sure that won't always be the case. Each stage has 4 different difficulties ranging from Easy to Extreme, has 3 different clearance levels which increase the amount of time in each stage with more things to do, and THEN, after you've beaten the 3rd clearance level, you can add random wacky ♥♥♥♥ to the game in the form of Corruption (this will add AWEs that could be helpful or harmful, from the lore of Control).

Repetition is baked into the formula. If you want to increase your gear and powers, you need to run the harder versions of the missions you've done. If that doesn't sound like your jam, you won't like this as much - but it's just the same level of repetitive as say, Helldivers 2.

Give this game a chance. Don't play the five stages through level 1 and then think there's nothing left for you to do. Go for higher clearances. Up the difficulty. Try a different kit or weapons.

Genuinely a really great time with friends. I don't play the singleplayer at all. The multiplayer mode is kick-ass if you can get a group of you and 3 friends together on a discord call or other voice platform, and don't take it too seriously.

This is the best MMO you can play.

I have a long laundry list of why I feel it's the best but between maybe one of the best story-telling experiences I've ever enjoyed, the music is memorable and great, there's a good introduction of challenge at times, it just is always welcoming. My *most* favorite thing though - being able to see 99% of the game on one character. I HATED making alts in say, World of Warcraft. My one FFXIV character can: experience almost all the quests in the game, play all 20+ combat jobs (classes), all 8 crafter jobs, all 3 gathering jobs, and experience just about everything.

I know this is antithetical to it being an "MMO" but one of the greatest things Square Enix did (and it's still being improved over time) is adding the "Trust System". If you don't feel like playing with other players or you want EVEN MORE dialogue from your favorite side characters, a majority of the social content like dungeons and trials can also be played by NPC avatars - if not a slower experience overall.

Plus, if you've never played before - you can play the game for *absolutely free* through the whole main story AND two expansions, Heavensward and Stormblood - both critical story development blocks to set up the REST of the game which is such a wild ride from Shadowbringers (good enough to have been it's own Final Fantasy game, actually) through Dawntrail (as of writing this review). Sure, not every beat of every story of every expansion is "peak", but just remember you need valleys to have hills. (You need slower moments to make the great moments punch harder)

I cannot recommend this game enough. I'm only part of the way into the story and I love it. It's extremely evident it borrows inspiration from Final Fantasy Tactics and FFT Advance and I LOVE that. There are many many classes and tons of abilities to learn (and yes, there is some overlap but I think that's totally fine). If you like tactical RPGs with a lot of room for growth, some great systems in place, this is a high, high recommendation.

The game is fun and I recommend it, but the following review is my personal take. Generally, I just did not find this game super enjoyable in a lasting way. I don't feel the urge to keep playing. Progression feels a bit slow and sluggish to me and even after 11 hours in, I still did not have access to many of the stratagems or other fun weapons I constantly saw my friends running around with.

I acknowledge the goods: It's fun, it's a good time with friends (usually), it's engaging and has decent gun play with varied locations and difficulties. The premium currency comes from playing the game and if you invest the hours of playing, you will be able to buy the things that otherwise cost money anyway.

I have mediocre overall personal feelings for the game and so I uninstalled it.

Edit:

Sony's decision to require PSN has been lifted, so I set my review back to positive and removed references to the issue. If you know what it was, you know what it was. While I recognize the game isn't really for me, I'm recommending it because overall it is fun, just not for me.

The Balatro-likes have started to arrive.

This one is good, but I'd let it bake a little longer before purchasing. Overall, I do recommend it, as it has the same kind of loop of building your own deck / roulette-appropriate wheel/balls/bets, but it IS early access and lacks that level of polish Balatro has.

Rougelite poker. It's amazing this has not happened sooner. It's incredibly addicting and I'm constantly thinking of other strategies to try. Lots of possibilities, and winning isn't easy. Many synergies, but only some are winners.
